The educational fidgets and the much-needed earbuds have already transformed the learning environment in our 6th-grade classroom. Many families are unable to provide earbuds, so having class sets available has made a tremendous difference. Students now use them daily to access online lessons, listen to educational videos, complete reading tasks, and work on individualized learning websites without distraction. The fidgets, meanwhile, help students manage their energy, reduce stress, and stay engaged—especially during independent reading, writing, and challenging problem-solving tasks.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is watching students take ownership of these tools. They now confidently choose what they need: earbuds for focused digital learning, quiet spinners during whole-group instruction, stretchy bands during writing, and textured cubes for calming before presentations. One student who used to get overwhelmed by classroom noise now uses earbuds to listen to read-aloud passages online and is completing assignments with new independence. Another student who struggles with restlessness easily stays on task during long lessons with a simple fidget ring that \"helps my brain settle,\" as she proudly shared.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided tools that support focus, confidence, and meaningful access to learning every single day. Thank you for believing in our students and giving them resources that help them thrive. We are truly grateful for the lasting impact you have made in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758636629541,"projectUrl":"project/fidgets-for-focus/9469158/","projectTitle":"Fidgets for Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Banks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6450168_orig.jpg?crop=280,280,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1558035774451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cbanks"},{"teacherId":1459619,"projectId":9765384,"letterContent":"My students were overwhelmed with gratitude once they saw all of the snacks that your contributions helped fund.
