The new school year has already begun and my students have started utilizing the new resources in our classroom.\r\n\r\nTheir personal book bins are stored in their cubbies, already full of day to day items, and ready to be filled with school books. Being able to give them each their own way to stay organized and keep their school supplies in their own space has been delightful for them! \r\n\r\nTheir storage bins for their color boxes at their tables are already in use as well. Having these has provided each student with extra working space. They have also been a great way to store things neatly. The students have had an opportunity to practice taking care of a community by keeping it clean!\r\n\r\nI'm so grateful to this community for giving this to these students. The sense of pride and content they feel is wonderful to see!","fullyFundedDate":1744429524743,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-jassos-kinder-class/9194012/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Jasso’s Kinder Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jasso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9830198_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734651222010","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9830198"},{"teacherId":7900857,"projectId":6108756,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my classroom was transformed into a more engaging, hands-on, and organized learning environment. The laminating pouches helped preserve student work, classroom visuals, and center materials so they could be reused again and again. The mesh zipper pouches made it easy to keep our learning centers neat, accessible, and ready to go.\r\n\r\nThe STEM and math resources sparked curiosity and encouraged problem-solving through exploration. Students were excited to interact with these tools and build their understanding of key concepts in fun, meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThe emotional literacy book set gave us a way to talk about big feelings in a kid-friendly way. We were able to introduce important social-emotional skills like empathy, flexible thinking, and self-regulation through engaging stories that resonated with our learners.\r\n\r\nWith your help, my students had access to a wide range of developmentally appropriate tools that supported their growth across subject areas such as academic, emotional, and social.

Once the new seating options were introduced, my students were immediately more engaged and eager to participate in their lessons. They had the ability to choose seating that best supported their individual learning needs, whether during independent work or group activities.\r\n\r\nBefore, students were limited to sitting at desks or on the carpet with clipboards. After receiving the wobble stools, floor recliners, wobble cushions, and chair bands, they had more freedom to move and learn in a way that worked best for them. The wobble stools allowed students to stay focused while still moving, especially benefiting those with ADHD or high energy levels. The floor recliners provided comfortable seating throughout the room, creating cozy, productive workspaces. The wobble cushions and chair bands helped students channel their energy appropriately during whole group instruction, maintaining focus without becoming a distraction.\r\n\r\nThis project transformed our classroom. It empowered students with choice, promoted engagement, and supported differentiated learning styles. I witnessed a clear increase in motivation, better behavior during work times, and a more positive overall classroom environment. The flexible seating truly made learning more accessible and enjoyable for all of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1636219071584,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-equals-engaged-students/5847704/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Equals Engaged Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7900857_orig.jpg?crop=828,827,x0,y289&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626417706398","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7900857"},{"teacherId":7900857,"projectId":5634106,"letterContent":"Your generous support did more than provide a classroom rug. It helped restore a sense of community and connection that my students had been missing. After years of disrupted learning during the pandemic, this rug became the heart of our classroom. It brought us together for morning meetings, story time, hands-on learning, and joyful moments that helped rebuild the classroom magic.\r\n\r\nFor my students, many of whom come from low-income households, this warm and welcoming space became a place where they felt safe, included, and excited to learn. The rug gave us a shared space to grow, collaborate, and make lasting memories.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, my first graders experienced a richer, more connected learning environment. One filled with laughter, learning, and the comfort of knowing they belong.

It has fostered their curiosity, creative thinking, and teamwork! \r\n\r\nThanks to the donation of supplies such as markers and glue, they have also been given more choices for fun letter and number crafts during their centers time. They absolutely love creating with markers!\r\n\r\nThanks to the donation of bins, we have been able to stay more organized with their crayon boxes and other supplies throughout the classroom, which teaches responsibility. \r\n\r\nLastly, thanks to the donation of alternative seating choices, some students who were previously struggling to control their wiggles and participate now have a way to release their energy and simultaneously still be able to learn during our carpet time! \r\n\r\nWith every little thing, a lot of opportunities for success have been given to our youngest humans.

They have been used every day and they are still in such great condition. \r\nThe tissues are constantly used. Flu season hit us hard and so we have been going through them like crazy. We donated a few boxes to those in need such as our specials teachers who don't get tissues from families.\r\nThank you so much for the donation.

School is so much more than curriculum and textbooks. Teachers teach so much more than base knowledge and students deserve to have access to items that not only teach but are fun and exciting to learn with. These Tony boxes and Tony figures have been such a beautiful addition to the classroom because they aren't essential- they're a gift.\r\nUsing our new listening center has given my students choice in their learning, picking stories and characters that interest them. They have been working on their listening skills, story retelling skills, and reading detective skills, (what our class calls looking for problem, solution, characters, setting, theme, etc). \r\nBeing at a Title 1 campus, it's always a blessing to get what we NEED every day, but it's the greatest kindness to be given something the kiddos WANT.
