I really wanted my students to have a relaxing library area to go to when it's free time in our classroom. I wanted my students to be able to feel relaxed and \"at home\" when they went to my library and with your donations, you made that possible for my students. They LOVE going to the library and being able to lay on the carpet and pillows that you donated and really get to relax while reading. \r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they first saw all the materials! They kept asking me where did I get it all from and if I had to spend my own money. I told them about this process through Donors Choose and they instantly were so grateful and thankful for the donations. They also really love the calming center. Even though they are 3rd graders, they still have moments when they need a minute and a place to go, to pause and take a minute. You all donated calming items for my calming center in the classroom and now my students get a space that they can go to and use those items when frustrated to help them readjust and then rejoin the class. We are so grateful for \r\nall of your donations and we will continue to use them in the classroom this school year.

I truly believe that these items allow children's brains to learn in vital ways that doesn't always come from required curriculum. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for pouring into our future generations!
