Students are thrilled to have the opportunity to choose where and how they learn best—whether they're collaborating in small groups, reading independently, or diving into creative projects. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a comfortable seat can help students stay more focused, engaged, and eager to participate.\r\n\r\nYour donation has not only improved our classroom environment but has also shown our students that there are caring individuals like you who believe in their potential and success.

Many students use it when they are working on their chrome books also. It is so nice to have somewhere comfortable to sit that isn't a table or desk. \r\nThe walking mat gets a considerable amount of use as well. Kids like to walk as they are listening to audiobooks or if they are finished with work and just want so motion. They are still involved in the class discussion but get to enjoy movement as well. \r\nThe new wobble seat is a huge hit. I now offer two of these in my space so students can rock and wobble without fighting over one seat. \r\nWe appreciate your kindness more than you can know.

One of my favorite moments was when a group of fourth graders came back from recess and saw the apple juice boxes set out for the first time. Their eyes lit up, and one student exclaimed, \"We never get this at school!\" That excitement quickly turned into a calm, focused classroom as students settled in with their snack before diving back into reading.\r\n\r\nThese resources have been more than just food — they've helped create a sense of community. In one class, students even started helping one another pass out the snacks, turning it into a moment of teamwork. For many of our students, having something reliable to eat during the day has meant fewer distractions and more energy to learn.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are working on making the Healthy Snack Initiative sustainable for the entire year. The next step is to continue expanding the variety of nutritious options we can offer, so students get both balance and choice. Your support has given us the foundation to do this, and we are so grateful to have you as partners in ensuring that no student in our small rural school goes hungry.","fullyFundedDate":1746448746821,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-snacks-for-hungry-students/9225336/","projectTitle":"Healthy Snacks for Hungry Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jennings","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3986458_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477436323984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/christina-frost"},{"teacherId":6435699,"projectId":9106314,"letterContent":"Integrating treadmills and active movement into the classroom has significantly enhanced our students' learning experiences.

This shift not only fosters a more dynamic learning atmosphere but also supports students' physical health.

One specific project where we've been able to use the materials is during our reading sessions. The option to move and stay active while working has been a game-changer!\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They immediately began using the materials to work on reading and phonics exercises, and the ability to move around while learning has been incredibly helpful in maintaining their focus. They've expressed how much they enjoy the opportunity to release energy, which in turn has helped them focus better during lessons.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students are continuing to build their reading skills and fluency with the new resources, and they're excited to use them in a variety of projects. In our next lesson, we'll be using the materials to explore a new reading strategy that allows them to work both actively and collaboratively. This not only boosts their learning but also helps them develop essential social skills as they work together.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made a world of difference, and we look forward to sharing more progress as we continue this exciting journey!","fullyFundedDate":1738163677887,"projectUrl":"project/stride-and-succeed-supporting-active-le/9073018/","projectTitle":"Stride and Succeed: Supporting Active Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jennings","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3986458_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477436323984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/christina-frost"},{"teacherId":7233746,"projectId":8927982,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to supply my students with the Tuff skin softie balls.
