Your contribution has made a remarkable difference in our learning environment. The new seating choices—ranging from stability balls to bean bags and floor cushions—have given students the freedom to choose where they learn best. This simple change has led to greater focus, confidence, and motivation among our students, allowing them to take ownership of their learning in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the flexible seating has also encouraged collaboration and community. Students are learning to share, communicate, and respect one another's space as they move around and work together. The classroom now feels more inclusive and energetic—a place where every child feels comfortable and valued. Thank you for helping us create a positive, student-centered environment that supports both learning and personal growth. Your generosity has truly made an impact on our students each and every day.","fullyFundedDate":1743011789923,"projectUrl":"project/pick-a-seat-to-succeed/9194086/","projectTitle":"Pick a Seat to Succeed!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hillman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3965921_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1495983389417","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3965921"},{"teacherId":9230391,"projectId":8572490,"letterContent":"I am writing to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous funding of my project, \r\n called Supporting Diverse Learners with SEL, Math, and Math Materials.

Thanks to your donation, I am able to provide engaging resources for social-emotional learning (SEL) and math, which are critical areas for my first graders. The hands-on math materials, in particular, have been invaluable in helping my students better understand key concepts, and the SEL tools foster a positive and supportive atmosphere for them to build essential life skills. \r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate and far-reaching. Students are excited to use the materials during our lessons, and I've seen a boost in their confidence and enthusiasm for learning. It's incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and to know that your kindness has played such a vital role in that progress.\r\n\r\nI cannot fully express how much your support means to my students and me. Your donation has made a difference, and I am deeply grateful to have had this opportunity to enhance my students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and belief in the importance of education for all children.
