In an ideal classroom, my dream is to make time for meaningful storytime with books that support social-emotional learning. Our students come in with pre-existing trauma, anxiety, and worries about the future, especially now more than ever. The books donated were each specifically chosen to help instill kindness, inclusivity, strength, courage, and positive coping strategies to help students build character. After each read-aloud, the students are asked to reflect on the central message of the story. They came up with themes such as \"treat others how you want to be treated,\" \"be brave,\" \"stand up for yourself and others,\" and \"be proud of who you are and be yourself.\"\r\n\r\nThese are all qualities that we want them to carry for the rest of their lives. You have not just made an impact on them in fourth grade, you have changed their whole lives. They are kinder, braver, and more resilient because of you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the difference you have made in all our lives. Your kindness will carry on for generations.","fullyFundedDate":1789396824968,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-the-screen-bringing-love-and-con/10605022/","projectTitle":"Beyond the Screen: Bringing Love and Connection Back to Storytime","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenny","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10654948_orig.jpg?crop=2576,2576,x431,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1788716023355","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10654948"},{"teacherId":8709450,"projectId":10374859,"letterContent":"My speech students are so happy and grateful for the refrigerator!

Both the scoop chairs and the seat cushions have helped students feel comfortable and focused in our classroom. Our students are even more engaged and motivated during independent work and small group lessons. Whenever we have independent reading, students are given choice on what flexible seating they would prefer to use. They continue to make the seating choice that works best for them and their learning style.\r\n\r\n Our students were so excited and thankful when we first revealed the new seating options that were available to them. Our students have also been very responsible with using the seating in a safe and respectful way. They always put away the scoop chairs and seat cushions in an organized way to make sure they last the rest of this year and for future classes. We will continue to try out different times of the day when students can use the seating, such as partner work or in our calming corner.
