Our \"calm down corner\" with the bean bags and mural of a nature landscape is used daily by students needing a little break to calm down, regroup and come back ready to learn. \r\nHaving the cubbies with new books and games visible and easily accessible makes learning inviting and fun. The materials are much more available to them than when they were tucked away in a cupboard. \r\nEach student can easily find the next book they want to read. When reading games are added, learning seems like less of a chore and becomes engaging and enjoyable for all.\r\nMy students noticed the new materials right away and asked about when they would get to play the new games. This gift will enhance their learning. \r\nThank you so much for all that you've done to improve their learning experience!","fullyFundedDate":1758901325480,"projectUrl":"project/we-love-literacy/9587959/","projectTitle":"We Love Literacy!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dendy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9190897"},{"teacherId":5692740,"projectId":8927330,"letterContent":"I want to let you know how much I appreciate your funding of my project, \"Large Button Calculators!\" The calculators have made a huge difference in my Special Education Math class this semester!

This year, because of your generosity, that was not an issue! \r\n\r\nI was especially thankful for your message stating \"anything that makes math easier is a useful tool.\" The message showed that you understand the struggles that students go through and it was so kind of you to step up to help.\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled when we received our new calculators.
