It is really hot here in Arizona still so popsicles are a very popular birthday treat. We appreciate your very kind donation. We hope to work with you again in the future.

The excitement on my students' faces when they first saw the new seating options was unforgettable—there were gasps, cheers, and even a few happy dances. They immediately began exploring how each seat worked, and it didn't take long for them to find their favorites. These flexible seating tools have transformed our classroom into a more dynamic and student-centered space.\r\n\r\nI've already seen the benefits during our small group lesson time. One memorable moment was watching a student who typically struggles with focus stay fully immersed in his work while gently rocking on a wobble stool—it was a small change that made a big difference. Your support has truly helped set the stage for deeper learning and joyful discovery.","fullyFundedDate":1746785905206,"projectUrl":"project/wobble-for-success-empowering-active-le/9282990/","projectTitle":"Wobble for Success: Empowering Active Learning in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Richter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9075199_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690061099687","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9075199"},{"teacherId":8644126,"projectId":6738934,"letterContent":"Having these books in our classroom have been instrumental in getting the students involved and both learning the game and having fun with friends.

Students will end this unit by having their parents, and other grade levels come see them in a living museum. \r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our students now have access to a wider range of books that will inspire their imaginations, enhance their literacy skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading.
