There were smiles all around. I wanted it all to be a surprise, and it certainly was. One of my little friends asked, \"Wow! It's all of this for us!?\"\r\n\r\nSince receiving the journals, my students want to write all the time. As soon as it's time for our reading/ writing rotations they want to know what they get to write about. Several of them even ask to write more during other parts of the day-I love it! And I never imagined how much my kids would enjoy the Sequence and Write Story Writing. They have a great time coming up stories and sharing ideas with each other. The white boards, markers, erasers, and storage bags have been wonderful. We get to practice spelling our heart words, making sentences together, and work on all the new sounds we are learning everyday. \r\n\r\nYou made this happen. Thank you for helping my students love learning.","fullyFundedDate":1765485266336,"projectUrl":"project/ramped-up-for-writing/9908469/","projectTitle":"Ramped Up for Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Claywell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9550335_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716233067532","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9550335"},{"teacherId":10180163,"projectId":9608919,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our safe spot classroom!!

Our guidance counselors have even commented on our SEL time!\r\n\r\nThe imapact has even reached outside of my classroom. Students will come into my room for a break from their classroom when they need an emotional break.

The for rockets are so popular I have had to assign them to six friends daily! They love using the suit seats for learning at the carpet because of the built in desk top, it's so much easier than even a clip board. \r\nFor my friends who need to get their wiggles out, the band for the chair legs are amazing! They hold up to the children beautifully. And the feet wiggler is great for my friends with test anxiety. It's calming and helps them get that nervous energy out. \r\nThank you for all your thoughts and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1752506254732,"projectUrl":"project/sweet-seating-in-second-grade/9316046/","projectTitle":"Sweet Seating in Second Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Claywell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9550335_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716233067532","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9550335"},{"teacherId":9550335,"projectId":9222519,"letterContent":"Your contribution made a huge difference in our classroom. Most of my students come from home with hard working parents trying their best to provide for their child. Cleaning supplies, such as clorox wipes, are not on our supply list. They are a wish list item, without any expectation of them being provided. \r\n\r\nSeeing these items come into our classroom created so much excitement! They couldn't wait to open them up and use them. I let each of them clean their own desks, and a few things around the room. The screen cleaners for their iPads were a huge bit as well. \r\n\r\nWe are also very grateful for the headphones. They were such a great help during our end of year testing. Headphones are a hard item to keep in good shape with Littles, so these are our special testing ones only. \r\n\r\nYou have made a difference in the lives of all my little friends.
