I thought of this idea because my students were really struggling to get their ideas written--they rely so heavily on technology and being able to search for the \"right\" answer all the time that they sometimes have a really hard time expressing their own opinion.\r\n\r\nBy asking silly \"would you rather\" questions each day, journaling allowed them to have a zero stress way to practice writing down their ideas. I would give them 3 minutes to write their thoughts, and then I would have them discuss their answer with their group for 2 minutes. This created community within my classroom, while also encouraging students to literally think with their own brains, rather than relying on technology to think for them.\r\n\r\nThe benefits of journaling extended to my students' ability to write their essays more easily--they felt more comfortable thinking independently, and they felt more confident in themselves as a result.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, I was able to start this journaling practice with my students on day 1 of this semester!

Because of you, my students with diverse learning and sensory needs now have access to alternate seating that makes our classroom more comfortable, welcoming, and inclusive.\r\n\r\nIn a self-contained special education classroom, every small detail matters. Many of my students have heightened or lowered sensory needs, low muscle tone, orthopedic challenges, or physical disabilities that make sitting in a traditional desk and chair difficult. Soft seating options like bean bags, cushions, and flexible seating give them the ability to feel calm, supported, and regulated—so they can focus on learning instead of discomfort.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these materials, I have already seen students feel more relaxed, engaged, and ready to participate. When students feel safe and comfortable in their environment, their confidence grows—and that confidence carries into their academic and social interactions with their peers.\r\n\r\nYour kindness goes far beyond providing furniture. You have created a space where students feel valued, included, and understood. You have helped turn our classroom into a place where learning truly has no limits.\r\n\r\nMy students are the heart of everything I do, and your support has made a lasting impact on their daily lives.
