Although we have only been using it for a week, I have already noticed such a positive difference in my students' classroom behaviors and routines.\r\n\r\nThe carpet has helped my students learn to sit in their designated squares and practice keeping their hands to themselves. It has also made transitions throughout the day much smoother. I am able to call on students based on the color of the row they are sitting in, which provides a fun and organized way to transition between activities.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, I have noticed that students who previously had difficulty remaining seated are now able to stay seated and engaged for longer periods of time. It has been wonderful to see them developing these important classroom skills.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for supporting our classroom. Your donation is already making a meaningful difference in our students' learning and daily experiences, and we truly appreciate it!","fullyFundedDate":1788538885651,"projectUrl":"project/a-colorful-carpet-to-make-learning-come/10532365/","projectTitle":"A Colorful Carpet to Make Learning Come Alive in Pre-K!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Suarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10623668"},{"teacherId":9352971,"projectId":10059921,"letterContent":"What a welcome gift to receive at the beginning of our school year!\r\nBeing 4'10\", the step stool is a need fulfilled.

We are able to rotate it that every student gets one at least once a week. \r\nI laminate quotes to hang, games to play and many other classroom decor. These lamination sheets are a blessing. \r\nI love to keep the room organized. That begins with paper. File folders are not provided! The bright colors help me file or find papers with ease. \r\nWe use ziplocks a lot. I even share with other teachers.

Many of my students are visual and hands-on learners, so using technology helps them better understand lessons in reading, math, and phonics. It also gives them opportunities to practice skills independently and build confidence while learning at their own pace. In our Title I classroom, this technology opens doors to experiences and resources that some students may not always have access to at home.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is that learning now feels fun and interactive. Their faces light up when they get to use the new technology. Even students who are usually shy or hesitant become more eager to participate. They feel proud when they can complete activities on their own and celebrate their progress.\r\n\r\nSome of my students who struggle with focus, confidence, or academic skills have especially connected with this technology. I have seen students become more engaged, willing to try, and excited to learn because the technology meets them where they are. Watching their confidence grow has been one of the most heartwarming parts of this experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom, believing in my students, and helping create meaningful learning opportunities for our little learners.","fullyFundedDate":1768523356402,"projectUrl":"project/learning-in-a-flash/10017191/","projectTitle":"Learning in a Flash!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Diana Tuel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9349946_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699582735648","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9349946"},{"teacherId":10398240,"projectId":9987860,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been absolutely transformed by the new resources, and I can't thank you enough! One of the most impactful changes has been the flexible seating options. Students now have the choice to sit where they feel most comfortable—whether that's at a traditional desk, on a wobble stool, or in a cozy corner. During a recent math review activity, I watched a group of students who typically struggle to stay focused remain engaged for the entire lesson simply because they were able to choose seating that worked for them. It was such a powerful moment to see their confidence and stamina grow.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless—there was genuine excitement, gratitude, and lots of \"Wow!\" moments. The snacks have also made a big difference, especially during longer learning blocks and testing prep. Students feel cared for and supported, which helps create a positive and focused learning environment.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing to build on this momentum by incorporating these resources into small group instruction and project-based learning. Students are currently working on collaborative math review tasks and will soon begin a hands-on project where they apply problem-solving skills to real-world scenarios. With these new tools, they are more engaged, more comfortable, and more willing to take academic risks.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our classroom the support it needs to thrive—we are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1768017113321,"projectUrl":"project/calm-minds-ready-learners/9987860/","projectTitle":"Calm Minds, Ready Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10398240"},{"teacherId":8145844,"projectId":9989696,"letterContent":"We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for your generous toy donations.

The kids love creating their art that they can then wear. \r\n\r\nTheir favorite and most messy project they did was getting to create their own paper.

Because they can immediately see the link between their behaviors and favorable results, students learn how to set goals, control their behavior, and make responsible decisions.
