Your donation has made a meaningful difference!\r\n\r\nThe wobble stools have been incredibly effective in supporting students who need movement to stay focused. Instead of feeling restless or distracted, these students can now wiggle, lean, and gently move while still engaging deeply in their work. Several students have shared that the stools help them \"get their energy out\" while still completing their tasks. This simple shift has increased their stamina and confidence during independent work time.\r\n\r\nThe overhead lighting covers have transformed the tone and comfort of our classroom. Harsh fluorescent lights often made it difficult for students to relax and concentrate, especially during reading and writing. With the softening effect of the light filters, our room now feels warm and welcoming. Students have commented that it \"feels calmer\" and \"less like everything is too bright.\" The change has noticeably improved focus, reduced visual strain, and helped create a peaceful atmosphere where students can do their best thinking.\r\n\r\nThe addition of comfy seating in our class library has elevated our reading community. Students eagerly choose these cozy spots during independent reading, partner reading, and small-group work. The inviting seating has encouraged reluctant readers to stay engaged longer and motivated enthusiastic readers to delve deeper into books with joy. Our library corner has become a favorite place—a space where students feel safe, comfortable, and excited to read.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped shape a learning environment that honors students' needs, promotes focus, and cultivates a sense of belonging. These items have not only improved academics but have also enriched how students feel about themselves as learners. Thank you for making this possible and for investing in the daily well-being and success of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755627050549,"projectUrl":"project/flexing-my-way-back-to-the-classroom/9553736/","projectTitle":"Flexing My Way Back to the Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Morales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2096482_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1455495339083","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dmm"},{"teacherId":9795362,"projectId":8861480,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations in helping to provide inclusion books for my classroom.
