We've already started using the new materials, and they've brought so much excitement and energy. The play tunnel has quickly become a favorite, with students crawling, rolling, and exploring!\r\n\r\nThe prizes for our Movin' Mustang walking program have brought a new found thrill to earn laps and the pedometers just add to that excitement. Many have an extra boost of motivation - even the teachers. It's been amazing to see them cheering each other on and celebrating every milestone.\r\n\r\nNext steps: Students will continue participating in our walking program, using the resources you so graciously donated to track their progress and set personal goals. The play tunnel will also be incorporated into daily movement stations, helping students practice gross motor skills while having fun.

Thanks to your contributions, our classroom received a set of wobble stools—and they've already made a huge difference.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students walked in and saw the stools for the first time, their faces lit up with excitement. Several of them couldn't believe they were actually allowed to sit on them! One student immediately asked, \"Wait, do we get to use these every day?\" It was such a joyful moment, and it reminded me just how much your generosity impacts real lives.\r\n\r\nWe're using the stools daily during reading groups, collaborative projects, and independent work time. They've helped students who struggle with focus and restlessness stay more engaged during lessons. One particular student, who used to have a hard time sitting still for more than a few minutes, now settles into tasks with more ease—just having the freedom to move a little while working has made a huge difference for him.","fullyFundedDate":1694913291617,"projectUrl":"project/adhd-learners-focus-support/7414678/","projectTitle":"ADHD Learners Focus Support!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Armer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8912399_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755545253480","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8912399"},{"teacherId":2380615,"projectId":9266740,"letterContent":"I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and appreciation for your donation to my project.
