The Lakeshore Learning and Research seating set has created a comfortable and modern area where my students can gather, collaborate, and relax. Whether they're working together on a group activity, sharing stories, or simply taking a moment to decompress, this space has become a central hub of connection and calm. It's more than just furniture; it's a foundation for meaningful interaction and emotional growth.\r\n\r\nIn a classroom where accessibility and comfort are essential, this seating set has helped me create an environment that feels like home. My students, many of whom face unique challenges, now have a space where they can come together and feel like a family. The thoughtful design and inclusive layout allow every child to participate fully, fostering a sense of belonging and dignity. Your support has made a lasting impact, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to give my students a classroom that truly reflects their worth.","fullyFundedDate":1760910753433,"projectUrl":"project/sit-collaborate-and-listen/9844304/","projectTitle":"Sit, Collaborate, and Listen!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10292257_orig.jpg?crop=2268,2268,x0,y166&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760140883205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10292257"},{"teacherId":10292257,"projectId":9816655,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our special education classroom now has a calming corner filled with tools that empower my students to navigate their emotions with confidence and care. These items have become a sanctuary for children who often struggle with sensory overload, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation.

Watching a child take a deep breath, choose a tool, and self-regulate instead of melting down has been nothing short of transformative.\r\n\r\nBeyond emotional wellness, your donation also provided essential classroom supplies that promote safety, hygiene, and dignity. For students with unique needs, having access to clean materials, personal care items, and adaptive tools means they can participate fully and proudly in their learning environment.

Thanks to your kindness, our special education classroom received several Lakeshore leveled book kits, which have truly transformed our reading experience. These books have opened up a world of accessible literature tailored to each student's reading level and personal interests. With these resources, my students are now able to participate in small group reading sessions that foster collaboration, engagement, and growth. It has been incredible to watch them dive into stories that resonate with them and feel empowered by their ability to read and understand the material.\r\n\r\nEven more inspiring is the independence my students have gained since receiving these books. Many of them are now choosing to read on their own, exploring new genres and authors with enthusiasm. Their confidence has soared, and reading has become a source of joy rather than frustration. The leveled kits have not only supported their academic progress but also nurtured a genuine love for reading. Your donation has made a lasting impact, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunities you've helped create for these amazing learners.","fullyFundedDate":1759512761579,"projectUrl":"project/turning-pages-changing-lives-special-e/9769870/","projectTitle":"Turning Pages, Changing Lives: Special Education's Leap for Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10292257_orig.jpg?crop=2268,2268,x0,y166&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760140883205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10292257"},{"teacherId":7732224,"projectId":9253080,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of funding for plants to our school.

As the boxes of materials came in earlier this school year, my students were really curious. I explained to them that I asked for supplies for our art room and some very generous people donated money to buy those materials. Their curiosity quickly turned into excitement. They watched as I opened the boxes and I explained what each one was.\r\n We use our supplies almost daily. I have seen the students develop the desire to keep their art space clean because we have our own broom and dustpan. They love seeing who can get the dirtiest wipe as they clean the tables. The colored baskets and containers make organizing supplies and artwork for each class easy and accessible. The kids are especially excited about the paint rack. We have done some watercolor painting and used the rack a couple of times, but they are eager to paint and use it some more. Both my students and I appreciate each and every one of our donors. It truly has made an impact on all of us by providing the resources necessary to have a clean, safe and organized classroom.
