The headphones are a great addition to the classroom for their communication devices and laptops. The command strips are outside of my classroom to put the students' backpacks on.

When my students first walked in and saw the flexible seating and snack station, their faces lit up with excitement and joy. They couldn't believe the space was really for them. Their reactions made it clear how much this support truly mattered.\r\n The flexible seating has given my students the freedom to choose where and how they learn best, which has significantly improved focus, engagement, and overall classroom behavior. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a comfy chair or a quiet corner can help a student settle in and feel ready to learn. \r\n The snacks have also made a powerful difference. For many of my students, hunger was a real barrier to staying focused and feeling safe at school. Having access to snacks has not only met a basic need but has also shown them that they are cared for. It has helped create a calm, nurturing environment where they feel supported emotionally and academically. Because of you, my classroom has become more than just a learning space—it's become a safe haven where students can thrive. Thank you for believing in the importance of comfort, care, and choice in education.","fullyFundedDate":1746738384886,"projectUrl":"project/safe-space-starter-kit/9255140/","projectTitle":"Safe Space Starter Kit","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maiya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9998680"},{"teacherId":5526128,"projectId":9327620,"letterContent":"We are so excited to be able to have these supplies for our students.

I wanted to take a moment to share the incredible impact your generous contributions have made on our students this year. Thanks to your support, we were able to provide a variety of snacks and essential supplies that have truly transformed our learning environment.\r\n\r\nWhen we introduced snacks like Pop-Tarts, cereal bars, and Nutri-Grain bars, the excitement was palpable. Students were thrilled to have these quick and tasty options available. Not only did these snacks provide a boost of energy, but they also fostered a sense of community. Students shared their favorite flavors and enjoyed moments of connection during snack time. Many expressed how much they appreciated having options that kept them fueled for learning, and it sparked conversations about healthy eating habits.\r\n\r\nCreating a Comfortable Learning Space\r\nThe supplies you helped provide—lap desks, floor pillows, book bins, seat sacks, and desk sorters—have made a remarkable difference in our classroom. Students now have the flexibility to choose where and how they learn best. The lap desks and floor pillows created a cozy, inviting atmosphere that encouraged creativity and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThe book bins and seat sacks organized our classroom, allowing students to easily access their materials. This newfound organization has led to less distraction and more focus, allowing students to dive deeper into their studies.\r\n\r\n\r\nEnhancing Daily Routines\r\nYour contributions of clorox wipes, desk calendar, notebooks for journaling, a pocket schedule, Ziplock bags, desk nametags, and pencil holders have streamlined our daily routines. Students feel a sense of ownership over their workspace with personalized desk nametags and organizational supplies. The journaling notebooks have become a favorite among students, serving as an outlet for self-expression and reflection, as well as reading the \"Harry Potter\" book collection. We have been trying to read a chapter every day after breakfast!\r\n\r\nA Grateful Community\r\nEvery item you provided has made a meaningful impact. We've witnessed increased engagement, improved organizational skills, and a stronger sense of belonging among our students. Your support has not only enhanced their learning experience but has also instilled a sense of gratitude and community.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity. Your contributions are not just items on a list; they are tools that empower our students to learn, grow, and thrive. We look forward to continuing this journey together and making an even greater impact in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1726168486267,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classrooms-creating-a-nurturing-le/8677036/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classrooms: Creating a Nurturing Learning Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kristina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9340028_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698242939589","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9340028"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32394","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":33,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"3.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":67.7,"schoolId":32394,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Springfield Public Day Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Springfield Public Day Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/springfield-public-school-district/safe-springfield-academy-elementary-school/32394"}
