Students who struggle with distractions can now tune in to lessons and audio activities without disruption — giving each child the quiet space they need to truly absorb and grow.\r\nThe dry erase markers may sound small, but they are anything but! Every day, little hands reach for those markers to work through math problems, practice spelling, and brainstorm ideas on our whiteboards. You've fueled countless \"aha!\" moments without even knowing it.\r\nAnd the small toys for our auction — what excitement those brought! Our classroom auction is one of the most beloved events of the week, and your donations helped make it a moment students will talk about for weeks. Watching their faces light up as they \"bid\" on prizes is one of the great joys of teaching.\r\nBecause of supporters like you, our classroom is more than just four walls — it's a place where children feel engaged, valued, and inspired.

One of our first projects is a sixth-grade legacy mural, where each student is designing a wooden square that represents who they are and the impact they want to leave on our school. Using the paint pens, construction paper, and cardboard cutter, students are planning, creating, and revising their work with care and pride, truly taking ownership of the process. At the same time, our Student Council students are using the assembly games, including our oversized Granny Pants game, to plan and lead school-wide events that bring joy and connection to our campus. The flexible seating chair is already supporting students who need a calm, comfortable space to reset and refocus, helping them stay engaged throughout the day. When students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate—they were eager to explore, create, and share ideas, and many began envisioning projects right away. For some, especially those who struggle in traditional settings, these tools helped them feel seen and supported. Next, students will complete and install their mural as a permanent display, continue leading assemblies that build school spirit, and use these resources in future project-based learning experiences. These materials are not just supplies—they are helping create a classroom environment where students feel empowered to belong, lead, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1769177933081,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-learning-creativity-and-lead/9928230/","projectTitle":"Tools for Learning, Creativity, and Leadership","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abbey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5240055_orig.jpg?crop=753,753,x28,y312&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648094173750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aabbey"},{"teacherId":3372537,"projectId":10063787,"letterContent":"I'd like to take the opportunity once again to thank you for your generous contribution.

We have used the Splash! Reading Games into our routine for phonetic skill practice. The Sight-Word Bingo sets (Levels 1, 2, and 3) allow me to differentiate instruction easily in a play-based format. I am most excited about the 'Ready to Write!' Prompt Boxes.

One of the other things I have noticed is that my students seek quiet and comfort more than in past years. I wrote this project in order to meet this need. I created a cozy corner spot with a comfy chair, big soft cushions and warm blankets. I have a variety of sensory toys, a white noise machine and a diffuser. All that was missing was these items to offer. When I put the puppy and galaxy blanket on the chair, they immediately noticed them and wanted a turn trying them out. When I introduce new things, I make sure everyone gets a turn the first 2 days, then they can use it when needed. \r\n\r\nThis project and your support allows me to equip them with everything they need to be successful this school year.
