You have provided a movable whiteboard for my classroom. My class and I appreciate your generosity. Your funding has allowed my students to spread out in our classroom during Vertical Learning which we also call Thinking Tasks. This extra work space has allowed my students to the benefit of not feeling crowded. The movable easel has become a special work space for my students. \r\n\r\nI have been able to use the easel as well while teaching in a whole group. Being able to move the whiteboard around has allowed me to create a central spot anywhere in our classroom. The students don't need to focus on just the front of the room now. I can draw their attention to multiple spots around the classroom. I have also used the whiteboard for small group teaching and it has been a game changer. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your donation has had a positive impact on my entire class. Please know that your donation has made a difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1754328773579,"projectUrl":"project/thinking-classroom-ahead/9526358/","projectTitle":"Thinking Classroom Ahead!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mininger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7502965_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689020288310","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7502965"},{"teacherId":10214660,"projectId":9639453,"letterContent":"Thank you SO much for the sensory items for my speech room!

We use the bumpas for calming down and I have the sensory stickers on the table where the kids sit. I've already used two of the chewies, and it's so reassuring to have access to headphones for my kiddos who don't like loud noises. But most of all, the kids have enjoyed the squish cubes and tangles. These are used nearly every session with multiple kids.\r\n\r\nI have sensory fidgets open to them at all times and it makes a huge difference with their ability to focus on the work I'm giving them.

The brightly colored dry-erase markers are appealing for them, and the narrow tip style gives them a better handwriting practice experience.
