My students have been actively using the seats for flexible seating. The new seats have allowed more of my students to work together while using flexible seating. They have been more engaged and excited that now more of them can work together. It's also increased following of directions so they can use the new seating. \r\nIt has also specifically allowed my students who need movement to work in different areas. They can work independently and move how they need. They can also use it in groups and allows for legitimate movement while completing activities. Overall, this has helped increase engagement and allow movement for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1760457637488,"projectUrl":"project/miss-doreys-classroom/9825890/","projectTitle":"Miss Dorey's Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dorey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311093"},{"teacherId":10313222,"projectId":9831731,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of flexible seating and reading materials to our third grade classroom.

This cart includes prizes for literacy competitions, students who demonstrate exceptional growth on benchmarking assessments, and other literacy-based achievements. Our students are eager to participate in reading competitions, reading logs, and school-wide challenges.\r\n\r\nSince implementing the cart, we have been able to award prizes to over 100 students for a reading competition and an additional 30 students for participating in various reading challenges.

One especially meaningful moment was watching a group of first graders work together to decode words during a phonics game, students who are usually hesitant to read aloud were suddenly confident, cheering each other on as they advanced through the game. The hands-on, playful nature of the materials has helped reinforce phonics skills, sight word recognition, and comprehension in a way that feels joyful rather than intimidating.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and contagious. The bright visuals and interactive components instantly captured their attention, and they were eager to explore. Even students who typically struggle with focus were fully engaged, carefully following directions and taking turns. It was clear right away that these resources made learning feel special and motivating.\r\n\r\nThanks to our donors, the next steps for my students involve using these literacy games to deepen their reading skills as we move into more complex phonics patterns and early comprehension strategies. We are beginning a unit focused on reading fluency and storytelling, and the games will support students as they practice blending sounds, building sentences, and retelling stories with confidence. Your generosity has truly expanded what's possible in our classroom, and it continues to support meaningful, joyful learning every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1760356796657,"projectUrl":"project/first-literacy/9821714/","projectTitle":"First Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gibason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8431500"},{"teacherId":7654734,"projectId":9829810,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my classroom through DonorsChoose. Because of your kindness, I was able to add over 20 new books to our classroom library, giving my students more engaging and diverse reading options. I also received headphones for students who need additional support with audiobooks. These headphones will not only help students access content more independently, but will also support the development of important speaking and listening skills.\r\n\r\nIn addition, your donation made it possible for me to purchase dry-erase boards that we use daily for lessons, quick checks for understanding, spelling practice, and review activities. I also received fidget bands, which have already been a huge help for students who need to expend extra energy while staying focused and seated. Your support has made a meaningful difference in my classroom, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact it has had on my students' learning and success.

Since then, depending on the book each student chose, they have come to realize that there are many different ethnic groups whose life experiences may differ from their own. Through this reading, students are beginning to develop a deeper understanding of both the similarities and differences among people.\r\n\r\nContinuing to read these books will further build our students' empathy and understanding of others. This study also connects directly to our curriculum, Scholastic Reading Unit 5: Making History, as well as to Black History Month and Women's History Month.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, we set aside time every Friday for Sacred Reading. This time is devoted to reading self-selected texts and is intentionally protected from interruptions. Students look forward to reading on Fridays. In addition to learning about the experiences of others, students are strengthening their reading fluency and comprehension by consistently dedicating time to sustained, focused reading.","fullyFundedDate":1760921205218,"projectUrl":"project/connecting-with-others/9835263/","projectTitle":"Connecting With Others","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chaney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7654947"},{"teacherId":3717898,"projectId":6243115,"letterContent":"I wanted to say thank you for your dedication to education and today's youth.
