Being a school that relies on technology in most classes, this is a daily problem if there is no power in the computers. There is a limited number of outlets in the room where only two students can plug in at a time. By funding this project we are now able to have up to 30 students charging their computers at one time if needed. We are able to place these power strips in certain areas of the room so that students can be plugged in and still sit comfortably at their table. I cannot state how convenient this simple fix makes it for my students. Thank you for your generosity in allowing me to provide this for my classes.","fullyFundedDate":1755521811331,"projectUrl":"project/i-have-the-power/9454709/","projectTitle":"I Have the Power!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ray","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jimmy-ray"},{"teacherId":7919745,"projectId":9321820,"letterContent":"I have students in SpEd that find it hard to sit still all day or sit all day. They loved being able to stand when needed at standing desks, and loved the seat pillow that allow them to sit and move their bodies, as well as the foot peddles that allow them to keep moving their feet without leaving their desk. \r\n The rest of the class enjoyed being able to concentrate better without students moving all over the classroom and causing distractions because they can't sit still or stop moving. The students using the stand up desks, or sit and move cushions/foot peddles found they stayed on task longer and they were able to get their work completed on time. \r\nThank you so much for your help, I have happier students.","fullyFundedDate":1746699691457,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students/9321820/","projectTitle":"Helping Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Claytor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7919745_orig.jpg?crop=1248,1248,x0,y382&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720822751251","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7919745"},{"teacherId":9590606,"projectId":9226212,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my classroom has been transformed in ways that directly impact student learning, comfort, and engagement every single day. The new resources — a printer, bean bags, math games, and a computer chair — have made a world of difference.\r\n\r\nThe printer has become an essential tool in our daily classroom routine. It allows me to quickly print differentiated practice for students, exit tickets, and extension activities without waiting for access to a shared school printer. Just last week, a student excitedly told me, \"We get our math puzzle printed *today*! That's awesome!\" when I was able to print their enrichment activity on the spot.\r\n\r\nThe bean bags have created a calm and inviting space in our classroom. Students love using them during independent reading time and math game rotations. One student, who usually struggles to stay focused, now chooses the bean bag corner for math centers and has shown more confidence and focus while working through fraction card games and partner challenges.\r\n\r\nSpeaking of games, the math games have added energy and excitement to our lessons! We recently used them during our unit on integers and rational numbers. Students worked in pairs, practicing adding and subtracting integers through a card game, and the room was full of strategy talk and math vocabulary — all while having fun!\r\n\r\nLastly, the computer chair has made my workstation more comfortable and functional. As a teacher who often works long hours creating materials, grading, and conferencing with students at the desk, having a supportive chair has helped me stay energized and focused for my students.\r\n\r\nThe first day students saw all the new additions, they were amazed — \"Is this all for *us*?!\" was a common reaction. The excitement and appreciation were clear on their faces.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support. You've given us tools that continue to inspire joy in learning, build confidence, and make our classroom a more welcoming and productive space.","fullyFundedDate":1746785588412,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-counts-math-fun/9226212/","projectTitle":"Comfy Counts & Math Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Strittmatter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9590606_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756868854101","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-strittmatter"},{"teacherId":7478873,"projectId":9208377,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of snacks to our classroom.

The calculators have been a game-changer, allowing my students to focus on problem-solving and critical thinking rather than getting stuck on basic calculations. It has given them the confidence to take on more challenging math concepts without frustration.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting additions has been the rug and fairy lights. These small touches have transformed our classroom into a warm and inviting space where students feel comfortable and ready to learn. The rug has quickly become a favorite spot for group discussions and collaborative activities, making learning feel more interactive and engaging. The fairy lights have created a calming atmosphere, helping students feel relaxed and focused, especially those who experience anxiety in a traditional classroom setting.\r\n\r\nI've seen particular students light up—literally and figuratively—because of these changes. One student, who often found math intimidating, now eagerly participates in class thanks to the support of the calculators. Another, who struggles with focus, has found comfort in the new environment and is more engaged than ever.
