The couch quickly became the most popular spot — it's where students love to read, collaborate, and relax while they learn. The addition of small writing desks has also been a huge help for students who prefer not to sit at a traditional desk but still want a comfortable place to focus on their work. These flexible seating options have transformed our classroom into a space where students feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn in the way that works best for them. Seeing their enthusiasm and focus grow each day has been an incredible reminder of how much the right learning environment can make a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1757509562281,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-8th-graders/9580051/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for 8th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4925672"},{"teacherId":4925672,"projectId":9239370,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to see the new books added to our classroom library! The shelves are now filled with engaging, high-interest titles that truly capture their attention and encourage a love of reading. It's been wonderful to see students eagerly sharing recommendations with one another and discovering new authors and genres. Having access to a wide variety of books allows every reader — from the most reluctant to the most enthusiastic — to find something that speaks to them. These books have made our classroom a place where reading feels exciting, personal, and full of possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1746787172230,"projectUrl":"project/new-class-new-book-needs/9239370/","projectTitle":"New Class-New Book Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4925672"},{"teacherId":1500069,"projectId":8543990,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, I was able to purchase printmaking supplies for our Lego Inspired designs that students will work on next school year! Every year I am faced with students who do not feel they are a \"good enough\" artist to engage in a the creative process. With this project, students will be first asked to create a design using flat lego dots and then taught how to turn it into an actual art print!\r\n\r\nThis project will give students a chance to have creative freedom over their designs and be wowed by the printmaking process! Since legos are removable, students will be able to adjust their design as they go before printmaking and in the process, learn more about balance in art, the printmaking process and how artists view positive and negative space.

Thanks to your contributions, my ELA support classroom has been transformed with new Kindles, grade-level books, bookmarks, and fidgets. These resources have made an enormous impact on my students, and I want to share the incredible difference your kindness has made.\r\nThe Kindles have been a game-changer for my students. They are thrilled to explore new books and engage with reading in a way they never have before. The interactive features of the Kindles, including adjustable font sizes and text-to-speech capabilities, have increased their confidence and engagement with reading. I've seen students who were once reluctant readers eagerly dive into stories, some for the first time. The excitement in the room is palpable as students get lost in the books they've selected, sparking discussions and a deeper love of reading.\r\nThe grade-level books you helped provide have been just as impactful. They have given students access to a diverse range of literature that is both engaging and age-appropriate, fostering both their academic and personal growth. From fiction to non-fiction, these books have enriched their learning experience and inspired countless conversations about the world around them.\r\nThe bookmarks and fidgets have also been invaluable in supporting students' focus and organization. The bookmarks help keep them on track while reading, while the fidgets provide the sensory support they need to stay engaged and attentive. This balance of tools has allowed every student to feel more comfortable and successful in the classroom.\r\nYour generosity has not only provided resources but has also given my students confidence in their abilities. They now have the tools they need to thrive, and I cannot thank you enough for helping to make that possible.\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting their education in such a meaningful way. Your impact will be felt for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1724847352410,"projectUrl":"project/kindling-a-love-for-reading-among-middle/8367796/","projectTitle":"Kindling a Love for Reading Among Middle School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4925672"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61183","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":866,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":34,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":61183,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Springer Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Springer Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/brandywine-school-district/springer-middle-school/61183"}
