The moment the games and flexible seating arrived, my students lit up with excitement. They jumped right into the puzzles, dice challenges, and money operation cards, laughing, collaborating, and thinking so hard they didn't even realize how much math they were doing. I keep joking that I'm \"tricking\" them into working through multi-step operations, logic reasoning, and mental math — and honestly, it's working!\r\n\r\nThese resources have completely transformed our Math Challenge Zone. Students rotate through the games during centers, partner activities, and even early-finishers time. They use the flexible seating to curl up, spread out, or sit with a partner as they work through the challenges. What once felt like a stressful subject for many now feels like a place to explore, solve, build, and play. I've already seen students who were hesitant about math begin to volunteer more, take risks, and genuinely enjoy learning again.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just provide materials — it helped create a space where my 6th graders feel confident, capable, and excited to come to school. Thank you for believing in them and helping us build this joyful, math-loving classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1762265375710,"projectUrl":"project/flex-your-brain-stem-games-and-creative/9686093/","projectTitle":"Flex Your Brain: STEM Games and Creative Math Centers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8727105"},{"teacherId":8727105,"projectId":9727355,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! Because of your generosity, my students now have a calm, focused space where they can work without distractions and feel safe when they need a moment to reset.\r\n\r\nThe first day the materials arrived, my students' faces absolutely lit up. They explored the space with excitement, touching the soft seating, whispering about how \"cool\" the privacy panels were, and immediately asking when they could try it. Now, throughout the day, you'll see students quietly stepping into the calm corner to refocus, practice self-regulation, or complete tasks that require extra concentration. It has already become a trusted spot in our classroom—one that makes them feel supported and capable.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a real difference.

The laminator, Sharpie sets, and storage organizers have already made a huge impact on our daily learning. My students were so excited when they saw the new materials—especially the vibrant markers and the photo organizer that now holds all their vocabulary cards and project pieces. They immediately started talking about how \"official\" and \"professional\" their work looked once we began laminating their creations!\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped us stay organized, protect important learning tools, and add creativity and color to our projects. The Sharpies have been a student favorite for labeling work, designing posters, and personalizing materials. The bins have created a smoother, more efficient workflow, helping students take ownership of keeping our classroom tidy and accessible.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has brought joy, pride, and structure into our Title I classroom, and my students feel truly valued because someone believed in them.

Many of them immediately started talking about how much easier it would be to find their work and how \"grown-up\" it felt to have their own systems for keeping things neat. It was such a powerful moment watching them take ownership of the space and realize that this organization was put in place for their success.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the new resources daily in our small groups. Each group has a designated bin with their assignments, tools, and materials ready to go, which means we can start learning right away without wasting time searching for papers. Students also use their personal organizers to keep track of assignments and deadlines, and I've already noticed an improvement in their independence. For example, one student who often misplaced his math work was so proud to show me that he had everything in his folder and ready to turn in on time.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students is applying these organizational habits to larger projects. Right now, we are preparing for a group presentation, and students are using the systems we set up to divide tasks, keep their notes together, and track progress. These are skills that go beyond the classroom—they are building habits of responsibility and time management that will help them throughout middle school and life. Thanks to your generosity, we've said goodbye to clutter and hello to concentration!","fullyFundedDate":1746785704591,"projectUrl":"project/goodby-clutter-hello-concentration/9120534/","projectTitle":"Goodby Clutter, Hello Concentration!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8727105"},{"teacherId":8727105,"projectId":9476603,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our Care Closet is now fully stocked with hygiene products that are already making a meaningful impact in the lives of our students. What may seem like small items—shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, and other essentials—have become powerful tools for restoring dignity, building confidence, and helping students focus on learning instead of worrying about unmet needs.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have already used the Care Closet, and the feedback has been heartfelt—they feel cared for, respected, and reassured knowing these resources are available whenever they need them.\r\n\r\nWe also created mini care boxes using pencil cases, filled with travel-size hygiene products, and distributed them to a few students who needed them most. In addition, we shared these care boxes with our fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms so even more students can benefit. These small, discreet boxes allow students to have what they need at hand without any embarrassment, and they have already been received with gratitude.\r\n\r\nOur class is now incorporating the Care Closet into a larger conversation about community and kindness. Students are brainstorming ways to help keep the shelves organized, create gentle reminder posters, and even write thank-you notes of their own. This not only supports responsibility but also nurtures empathy, as students recognize that small acts of care can have a big impact on others.\r\n\r\nThe next step is to weave this sense of care into our ongoing projects. We're currently working on a yearlong project about articulating confidence, and the Care Closet directly supports this goal—when students feel secure in their basic needs, they're able to stand taller, speak louder, and take academic and creative risks.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than provide supplies; it has helped create an environment where students can thrive. Thank you for being such an important part of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1753822007373,"projectUrl":"project/6th-grade-confidence-care-kits-for-act/9476603/","projectTitle":"6th Grade Confidence & Care Kits for Active Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8727105"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_110417","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":242,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.2,"schoolId":110417,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vibrant Minds Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vibrant Minds Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/california-department-of-education/goals-academy/110417"}
