They requested a comfortable bean bag. I added calming tea, puzzles, and snacks.\r\n\r\nAttached are some pictures of my students using the Big Joe. As you can see, it REALLY came in useful when a student broke his ankle and needed to use it. \r\n\r\nThanks again!","fullyFundedDate":1778163623979,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-breath-get-back-on-track/10160914/","projectTitle":"Take a Breath!

My students were so excited when we received the new chairs. I had volunteers coming from other classes to help put the chairs together, and many hands made light work. Not only are the chairs sturdier than some of the older chairs in my classroom, they also roll more easily and quietly, so as students fidget and wiggle, they are not disturbing the lesson or other students.\r\n\r\nThe pencils have been such an important addition as well. With the advent of AI, I have been moving back toward pencil and paper assignments and assessments, so having a supply of high-quality pencils has made it much easier for students to complete their work and be successful in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1778461403786,"projectUrl":"project/seating-and-writing-for-all/10180275/","projectTitle":"Seating and Writing for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wregglesworth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp376777_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744712027394","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ww"},{"teacherId":376777,"projectId":10016956,"letterContent":"My students come to my classroom many days with grumbly tummies. We know that hunger impacts a student's ability to concentrate, recall facts and important information, and think critically. Although the state of Michigan provides free breakfast and lunch for all public school students, the portions are small and many high school students do not arrive to school in time to take advantage of the free breakfast. Being able to offer a small snack to students when they need it has proved to be a very important part of my day, as students are happier and more engaged in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1772117737687,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-hungry-tummies/10016956/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Hungry Tummies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wregglesworth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp376777_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744712027394","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ww"},{"teacherId":376777,"projectId":9588108,"letterContent":"My students have thoroughly appreciated the supplies that have made learning more engaging and fun! It has also challenged me to develop new ideas to utilize the supplies in innovative ways. For example, we recently completed a Gallery Walk where students developed images based upon primary documents from the Transatlantic Slave Trade, then they asked questions and made comments using the sticky notes on one another's images, and finally wrote reflection statements based upon their original document and the feedback from their peers.\r\nI look forward to using the sticky notes for additional Gallery Walk assignments, to provide feedback to one another, as a brainstorming tool, and to help students organize their thoughts when writing essays.

When the school year began, we were unsure what would be the status of our state budget funded school breakfast and lunch after October 1 when the 2024-2025 budget expired. Happily, our legislature did fund free breakfast and lunch in the 2025-2026 budget.\r\nHowever, that doesn't negate the fact that many students come to school hungry, or get hungry throughout the day when breakfast and lunch just aren't enough food.
