They are constantly using them, and it has helped with the atmosphere and the focus of my students immensely. They were so surprised since I did not tell them about the project, but they were so excited and grateful. They couldn't believe someone they didn't know cared enough to finance fidgets for their classroom. \r\n\r\nThere is one fidget in particular they love, it is a puzzle figure where they have to fit certain pieces together. This has been useful for building relationships at the start/end of class as well. The lighting has helped my classroom be more welcoming and warm. The students always compliment the atmosphere of my room, all thanks to your generous contribution. Thank you again, so much.","fullyFundedDate":1742217811589,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-chill-out-in-a-warm-cla/8920731/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Chill Out in a Warm Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hayward","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9826596"},{"teacherId":9825740,"projectId":9033646,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the help in purchasing these fun thinking activities and room decor for my classes to enjoy. My students have really enjoyed using the puzzles/games after completing their work, especially if they get to challenge Mr. Ruzzin with them. I have seen the engagement level increase and the overall positive feeling in the room grow with the new additions. I could not have done this without you. \r\n\r\nThank you again.

The couch and comfy carpet are everyone's favorite places to work. The high-top table and stools provide another location for group work. This was a much-needed upgrade to my classroom. Combined with softened lighting, students feel more accepted and comfortable. My goal was to make the classroom more homey and less sterile. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your contribution!

As you may or may not know, the Oxford Community is still recovering from the horrific tragedy, 2021. Many of our students are still affected by this, daily. \r\nThat is why it is has been crucial for me to make my classroom a safe and comforting place to be. \r\nThrough your generosity, the donated bean bag chairs have helped me add to the corner of our room. It may seem like a small step towards building confidence and calmness, but I've heard directly from my students that it has felt really nice to have a safe space at school where it feels more like a home. \r\nI've noticed students working on their math skills with less anxiety and it has improved their communication skills because they have been socializing more often with the addition of this communal area. That alone tells me they are enjoying this safe space.","fullyFundedDate":1733180708234,"projectUrl":"project/cushy-math-is-easy-math/8925508/","projectTitle":"Cushy Math is Easy Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. D","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9829066"},{"teacherId":8144663,"projectId":8918844,"letterContent":"My students are so excited about the snacks!

These kids in particular need a little extra support and I am so glad I am part of their community and can help provide that support. \r\n\r\nYou are so appreciated by so many kids!","fullyFundedDate":1730740886946,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health/8918844/","projectTitle":"Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8144663"},{"teacherId":9827842,"projectId":8923009,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for adding such joy and comfort to our classroom! Students have been so appreciative for the new Keurig and the opportunity make hot chocolate/ hot apple cider as they arrive. This has added to their ability to regulate during stressful days and help focus themselves on academic tasks ahead. The snack donations have also been a great addition to my \"pick me up section\" of the room. Students have also commented on the calm they feel with the new water features and decor.

The grape ones smell like Kool-Aid which is a bonus.\r\n\r\nStudents were at first confused by the bands around the feet of the desks. Once I explained their use, they've enjoyed them!\r\n\r\nStill, by far, the best things were the couches! These have been a great addition to my classroom. I have always kept the lighting dim (thank you for the replacement bulbs by the way) and the walls colorful, but not my room feels even more at ease due to the couches. \r\n\r\nThank you again!
