Your donation went toward a couple of different items used within the classroom, but the ones in particular that have influenced my classroom the most are the snacks and the new furniture. Throughout the holiday season, we played jeopardy as a way to help celebrate each upcoming holiday. Students were so excited for the prizes of snacks and candy afterwards. I can tell you that high school students love playing jeopardy and they love winning, so thank you for helping me make that even better. \r\n\r\nAlso, the two new chairs have replaced a couple of older chairs that were falling apart from years of use. My students love sitting in these when they have independent work time and they also use them as a way to socialize and connect with each other before the hour begins. Your donation has truly impacted my high school classroom in a positive way.

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.

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!
