Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in our students' daily experiences, and I am so grateful.\r\nThe snacks you've provided help ensure that every student is ready to learn. For many of our kids, having something to eat during the day improves their focus, energy, and overall mood. It creates a more comfortable and supportive learning environment where everyone can do their best.\r\nThe crayons, Legos, and magnetic tiles have sparked so much creativity and joy. Students use these materials not only for fun, but also to build important skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and imagination. It's incredible to watch them work together, create, and take pride in what they build and design.\r\nFlexible seating has also had a huge impact in our classroom. Giving students the ability to choose where and how they sit helps them stay engaged and focused. It allows them to take ownership of their learning and find what works best for their individual needs.\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom is a more welcoming, engaging, and supportive place for every student.

They gravitate right to it when they get to work around the room independently or with partners. As I write this, I have two students come to mind who like to sit there constantly. They love to work on their computers or clip boards. They work really well there. I think the comfort is bringing more focus to them, which is great! :) \r\n\r\nWhen they first saw the bench seat when I finished building it, they questioned what it was. I told them it was going to be for them to use and sit on when they can work independently or with a partner around the room, and that I was trying to add some more comfort for them. They were very excited. \r\n\r\nThis is to continue to provide comfort for students and just a different setting in the classroom for them to complete their work.","fullyFundedDate":1768121733812,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-comfort-and-organization/9994189/","projectTitle":"Classroom Comfort and Organization!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10399327"},{"teacherId":8822496,"projectId":10007084,"letterContent":"My students love their new headphones.

They allow for mistakes without wasting paper. They individualize learning by being able to differentiate lessons and concepts. We play a lot of spelling games with the white boards \r\n\r\nWe love our new class size white board that helps with small group lessons because it is small and movable.

While many see a gaming console as a hobby, your donation has allowed us to officially launch an Esports Program, creating a vital bridge between technology and student engagement. This equipment is doing much more than providing entertainment; it's teaching our students high-level strategic thinking, real-time communication, and data analysis. By bringing this technology into a school setting, we've turned a popular pastime into a structured environment where students learn the value of digital citizenship and collaborative problem-solving.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for helping us build a modern, inclusive extracurricular program that meets them where they are!","fullyFundedDate":1768615637857,"projectUrl":"project/enhance-student-engagement-with-e-sports/10022424/","projectTitle":"Enhance Student Engagement with E-Sports!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Malmed","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8128834"},{"teacherId":8204268,"projectId":10006947,"letterContent":"Thank you again — your donation has already transformed daily learning in our classroom.\r\nWe have integrated the supplies into routines and current units.

Scissors and glue sticks make notebooks interactive and interesting. Students who struggle to focus or find information often enjoy adding color to everyday assignments and take ownership of their learning in their notebooks. \r\nThe class was excited and appreciative of all the items donated. They were excited to open the boxes and see what was next. They loved the variety of colors and the mechanical pencils. They immediately explored the materials, doodled on the multi-colored boards, and played with the new magnet blocks and Lego. \r\nWe will continue to use these supplies to build interactive notebooks for our units, add color to make things stand out and stick in our brains, and build fun things in the classroom with magnets and Lego. This will all support their growing minds expand and become even better learners. Your gift gave us tools and also fostered organization, pride, and collaborative habits that will support learning across the year.

We use the program of Orton Gillingham to help our students with decoding different types of words (i.e. CVC, CVCe, CVCC/CCVC, r-controlled, blends, digraphs, etc.) as well as red words that are not easily decodable (i.e. was, the, and, etc.). One of the pieces of Orton Gillingham is using a kinesthetic way to practice writing out the words for repetitive practice to aid with memory and recall. The LCD boards have proven to be a big fan favorite of the students to practice writing the words especially for my students with autism as the LCD boards are not over stimulating and have pretty colors as my students have said. We have also been using them for work space when calculating out our math problems especially when doing regrouping for addition and subtraction, and creating picture arrays/ten frames to help count up, subtract down, or group together for multiplication or division. I as their instructor have also been using the boards when taking them into my students' general education rooms to use as a surface to help guide my students through their math lessons in the classroom.\r\nMy students were thrilled to see the new wiggle stools this morning as I previously only had one other stool that they would take turns using because they all wanted the one stool everyday. This really helped my students that need a little bit more movement for the school day to retain focus in my classroom. Last week we had an assembly for the Mayor doing their attendance raffel. I have a few students who cannot handle loud noises, one of those students having hearing aides, and the noise cancelling headphones had come just in time! I had three very happy students using them throughout the whole assembly and then asked to use them during their lunch time too or to keep them for the year. Calming strips are being offered to be placed on my students table tops or their chromebooks for a texture to use as needed and a few of the comments from my students was that having something to fiddle with while listening to their teacher helps keep focus. Multiplication pop-its have been a big hit, I think I might even have to buy more in the future, the students are much more happier with something fun to manipulate and pop the buttons than using their fingers on a print out paper as they lose their spot easy when finding their solution. My kids that need a bit more of a snack throughout the day because of medical or other reason are now having the ability to request to come see me as needed or during their time with me to come have a snack, a break, and then a smooth transitional return to learning without the worry of hunger interrupting.\r\nI am gaining new students often and each one has different individualized needs that I want to make sure are always being met and understood. We are their advocates especially myself and I want them to feel safe and welcomed. We will continue to use the boards with our learning, I am hoping to use them also in the future as a practice board that they can do independent work on to do a show the teacher what answer you got to gauge their understanding as an exit ticket or informal quiz. I will also be looking into using them for my selective mutism students as a form of communication going forward as well if they are able to articulate through words or drawn pictures. I will be seeing which of my students will benefit from having noise cancelling headphones in their classrooms, lunch, specials, or other spaces of the school to make sure they have access whenever they need. Wiggle stools will stay wiggling during our lessons and time together, and snacks will be an option as my kids need.","fullyFundedDate":1768662100415,"projectUrl":"project/wiggles-and-snacks-for-sped/10024159/","projectTitle":"Wiggles and Snacks for SPED","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10404894"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44874","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":527,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":56.1,"schoolId":44874,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Seeliger Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Seeliger Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/carson-city-school-district/seeliger-elementary-school/44874"}
