Many of the students use the bean bag chair to relax and reset. When they weren't feeling well or didn't get enough sleep, they were able to complete their work from a cozy space. \r\n\r\nOur students are less overstimulated with the sensory friendly lighting. Our usual overhead fluorescent lighting can trigger pain, discomfort and migraines for some of our students. With our sensory friendly options, our students are happier and participate more fully. \r\n\r\nPerhaps the most exciting contributions were the therapeutic games. Many of our learners struggle with appropriate social play. They crave a connection with peers but need guidance on how to do so. The games you provided gave numerous opportunities to engage with peers from different classrooms (both general education and self contained special education).","fullyFundedDate":1757096179213,"projectUrl":"project/fun-and-functional-therapy/9310627/","projectTitle":"Fun and Functional Therapy!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferrucci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8180479"},{"teacherId":9858165,"projectId":9983577,"letterContent":"This project was so meaningful to me and my students!

Your support made it possible for me to bring small group reading stools into my classroom, and I cannot thank you enough for investing in my students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe Impact on Our Classroom\r\n\r\nThese reading stools have transformed the way we approach literacy instruction. Before your donation, my small reading groups were crowded around a single table, making it difficult for students to see books, engage with materials, and interact meaningfully with one another. Now, with comfortable, flexible seating, my students can arrange themselves in ways that promote collaboration and genuine enthusiasm for reading.\r\n\r\nThe stools have created a more inviting and dynamic learning environment. Students now look forward to small group reading sessions with real excitement. They're able to move freely, adjust their seating for comfort, and focus entirely on the text and our discussions. I've noticed increased engagement, better participation, and more thoughtful contributions during our reading activities—all because they feel comfortable and valued in their learning space.\r\n\r\nYour contribution will continue to impact my students for years to come. Thank you for believing in our classroom, in our students, and in the power of quality literacy instruction.

Your contribution has made an extraordinary difference in our classroom and has directly impacted the literacy development of our students.\r\n\r\nWhen I created this project request, my goal was simple yet crucial: to build a diverse, leveled library of small group reading materials that would allow me to meet each student where they are academically. Reading instruction is not one-size-fits-all, and your donation has enabled me to provide differentiated, engaging texts that support students at multiple reading levels simultaneously. This flexibility is transformative for teaching.\r\n\r\nThe collection you've funded includes engaging stories, informational texts, and guided readers across various difficulty levels. This variety has allowed me to create flexible reading groups based on student needs rather than rigid grade-level expectations. I can now pull together students working on similar skills—whether that's decoding, fluency, comprehension, or critical thinking—and provide them with texts that challenge them appropriately without frustration.\r\n\r\nWhat I've witnessed since receiving these books has been remarkable. Students who previously felt discouraged by reading are now participating actively in small group lessons. They're making connections, asking questions, and most importantly, they're building confidence. I've watched struggling readers develop fluency as they work through engaging narratives at their level, and advanced readers deepen their comprehension skills with more complex texts. Every student is progressing.","fullyFundedDate":1775958951991,"projectUrl":"project/spark-the-joy-of-reading/10161836/","projectTitle":"Spark the JOY of Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rainier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10401976_orig.png?crop=485,485,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768418620061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10401976"},{"teacherId":10401976,"projectId":10090968,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and our entire classroom community, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your incredible support in funding our \"I Survived\" book series project through DonorsChoose. Your generosity has transformed our classroom library and, more importantly, has ignited a passion for reading in young minds who needed it most.\r\n\r\nWhen I submitted this project request, I had a specific vision: to provide my students with engaging, accessible literature that would help them discover the joy of reading while developing critical thinking skills. The \"I Survived\" series does exactly that. These books combine compelling historical narratives with age-appropriate adventure and emotion, creating the perfect bridge for reluctant readers and eager learners alike.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made an immediate and visible impact. The moment the books arrived, my classroom buzzed with excitement. Students who typically avoid the library corner now rush to claim their copies during independent reading time. I've witnessed quiet, shy students animatedly discussing plot twists with their peers, and struggling readers tackling increasingly challenging texts with newfound confidence. These moments reminded me why I teach—and why donors like you are absolutely essential to public education.\r\n\r\nBeyond the immediate enthusiasm, this collection has become a cornerstone of our classroom culture. We use these books for guided reading groups, literature circles, and independent reading assignments. Students are learning about resilience, courage, and historical events through characters they genuinely care about. Parents have told me their children are reading at home for pleasure, something they haven't done in years. That's the power of the right book in the right hands at the right time.\r\n\r\nWhat truly moves me is knowing that your donation goes far beyond a simple transaction. You've invested in equity and access. Not every family can afford to purchase books for their children. Not every student has a home library or the resources to visit a bookstore. By funding classroom libraries, you're ensuring that all students—regardless of their socioeconomic background—have equal opportunities to experience the transformative power of reading.\r\n\r\nYour support also sends a powerful message to my students: adults in this community believe in their potential and are willing to invest in their futures. That matters profoundly. When students see that strangers care enough to donate resources to their education, it builds their confidence and sense of belonging.","fullyFundedDate":1773696986668,"projectUrl":"project/i-survived-books-help-us-fall-in-love-wi/10090968/","projectTitle":"I Survived Books-Help Us Fall in Love with Historical Fiction!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rainier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10401976_orig.png?crop=485,485,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768418620061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10401976"},{"teacherId":8117667,"projectId":10047363,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity in providing my third grade students with warm clothing and food.
