The flexible seating options have given my students the freedom to choose where and how they learn best—whether it's collaborating in small groups or focusing independently. I've noticed a huge difference in their engagement and confidence during lessons, especially during math rotations.\r\n\r\n The new long division dry erase boards and cleaning cloths have made math practice interactive and fun. Students are eager to solve problems, erase, and try again without fear of making mistakes. The bright new turn-in trays have also brought a burst of color and structure to our classroom routines, making organization smoother \r\nfor everyone.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only provided materials but also inspired my students to take pride in their learning space. We are truly grateful for your support in helping our classroom grow into a place where learning feels exciting, collaborative, and full of possibilities.","fullyFundedDate":1755690768064,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-learning-and-math-in-motion/9516337/","projectTitle":"Flexible Learning and Math in Motion!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reavis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8094510_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753109378655","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8094510"},{"teacherId":9239711,"projectId":9239456,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of books to our classroom!

These books will be an important part of our daily learning — helping us reinforce the standards we are working on in class and giving students more opportunities to practice the skills they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nJust as importantly, these books will be available for free-choice reading, encouraging students to explore stories and topics that interest them. My hope is that this helps each child discover the joy of reading and develop a lifelong love for books.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping to create a rich and inspiring learning environment where students feel excited to read every day.

We immediately incorporated them into our weights and PE classes, and they have completely transformed our workouts. For example, during a recent strength-training session, students were able to rotate through stations more efficiently because we finally had enough equipment for everyone. This has allowed for smoother workouts, more individual focus, and the chance for every student to push themselves at their own level.\r\n\r\nThe reaction from my students was priceless—their eyes lit up when they first saw the new equipment, and several commented that they felt like \"real athletes\" now that they had access to quality training tools. The excitement in the room was contagious, and since then I've noticed an increase in motivation and effort. Students who were once hesitant in the weight room are now more engaged and confident in their abilities.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue to use the weights daily in both PE and athletic training sessions. These resources will help build strength, confidence, and teamwork throughout the school year. Thank you for giving my students this opportunity—you've not only improved their physical development, but you've also inspired them to set higher goals and take pride in their progress.","fullyFundedDate":1755821730564,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-living/9460772/","projectTitle":"Healthy Living","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Zaehringer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9391581"},{"teacherId":9391581,"projectId":9211509,"letterContent":"Our students have been so excited to use the new weights in both PE and our strength training classes. One of the first projects we did was teaching students how to properly track their progress with the new equipment. They loved being able to set personal goals, and several commented on how much better it feels to use updated, safer weights. One student told me, \"It makes me feel like a real athlete training in a college weight room.\" Moments like that show just how much of an impact your generosity has already had.\r\n\r\nWhen our students first saw the new weights, their faces lit up. They couldn't wait to get started, and there was a lot of energy and excitement in the room as they tried them out for the first time. Many students expressed that having access to new, quality equipment makes them feel valued and motivated to work harder.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our students include continuing to build strength and endurance while learning proper form and discipline in the weight room. We're also working on connecting weight training to sports performance and lifelong health habits. Thanks to your support, our students now have the tools to challenge themselves, track progress, and reach new milestones in both athletics and personal fitness.","fullyFundedDate":1745338426910,"projectUrl":"project/life-time-benefits/9211509/","projectTitle":"Life Time Benefits","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Zaehringer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9391581"},{"teacherId":6784705,"projectId":8915157,"letterContent":"As always, I am so grateful for your support. I am always in awe of the support from our friends and neighbors, as well as the generosity of strangers. It makes my job even better that there are people like you willing to help out when we need you. \r\nThe project was a surprise to my students. When I received the packages, they were immediately excited and curious about what we had recieved! My students have frequently told me the enjoy the calming atmosphere of my classroom. Having more of these comfort items around has been so nice! They love the low lighting, (lamps and lanterns) and it is very helpful to those of us with glasses. The overhead lights sometimes create a glare on our glasses, making it hard to see. \r\nIt was so nice to restock our craft/project supplies! I was so excited that we were able to do more hands on projects with the poster board and other supplies. My 8th Grade students created posters about Inventions from the Industrial Revolution. It was a refreshing change from our usual book work!\r\nThe kick bands have been a hit. Some students use then to get some energy out, some students have shorter legs and like to rest their feet on them, some like putting their feet behind them and feeling the gentle, calming pressure on their ankles. Overall, they have been a great addition to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1741646751728,"projectUrl":"project/were-almost-halfway-throughheres-wh/8915157/","projectTitle":"We're Almost Halfway through...Here's What We're Missing!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDonald","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6784705_orig.jpg?crop=293,293,x0,y14&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632250717149","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6784705"},{"teacherId":8582429,"projectId":8930287,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous contributions to our classroom's DonorsChoose project.
