The new materials have created an environment where students are motivated, focused, and confident in their learning. From organizational tools that help keep our space efficient to engaging academic resources that support small-group instruction, every item has contributed to helping students feel prepared and capable. The classroom now feels more structured and supportive, a place where every child can truly succeed.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new resources, their excitement was contagious. They immediately began exploring the supplies, asking questions about how we would use them, and offering to help organize our new stuff. One student said, \"It feels like we're in a brand-new classroom!\" Watching their faces light up reminded me how much the environment can shape a student's enthusiasm for learning. The sense of pride they now take in our classroom is truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are using the new materials to launch a goal-setting and achievement project. Each student is identifying an academic or personal goal and tracking their progress using tools from our project. The process is helping them build responsibility, self-awareness, and perseverance, all essential skills for lifelong success. Your generosity has given my students the resources and encouragement they need to believe that, indeed, success starts here.\r\n\r\nThis project was also made possible by the generous support of the Walton Family Foundation. Their commitment to empowering students and educators has made a direct and lasting impact in our classroom. Because of their support, my students are gaining confidence, ownership, and a stronger belief in their potential to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1753675996904,"projectUrl":"project/success-starts-here/9504847/","projectTitle":"Success Starts Here","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8394351_orig.jpg?crop=899,899,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648698855990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8394351"},{"teacherId":8394351,"projectId":9504438,"letterContent":"Thanks to your kindness and generosity, our classroom has truly become a place where students feel safe, calm, and ready to learn. The new resources, cozy seating, soft lighting, organizational materials, and decorative touches have completely transformed the environment. Students now walk into the room and instantly relax, often saying, \"It feels so peaceful in here!\" or \"I love coming to this class.\" The change in atmosphere has made such a difference in their focus and behavior; they are more engaged, collaborative, and eager to participate in class discussions and activities.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was the first day students saw the new setup. Their eyes widened with excitement as they explored each area, finding their favorite reading nooks or group work spaces. Watching them take pride in their classroom environment showed me how much they value having a space that feels like their own.\r\n\r\nWe are continuing to become better readers and writers, and are using the space daily to do our read-aloud and independent reading. Your support made this possible, and I can't thank you enough for helping us create a learning environment that truly feels like home for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1753676080184,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-classroom-that-feels-like-hom/9504438/","projectTitle":"Creating a Classroom That Feels Like Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8394351_orig.jpg?crop=899,899,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648698855990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8394351"},{"teacherId":8394351,"projectId":9495845,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our project \"Cozy Corners, Curious Minds: A Reading Space for Middle Schoolers\" has come to life in the most inspiring way! Our classroom has been transformed into a welcoming reading haven where students eagerly curl up with books during independent reading time, literature circles, and even after finishing their work early. The cozy seating, soft lighting, and inviting book displays have completely changed the atmosphere. Students now want to read, and that's a joy to see every day.\r\n\r\nI'll never forget the moment they walked in and saw the new space for the first time. Their eyes lit up, and a few students even gasped, saying, \"It feels like a real bookstore!\" They immediately gravitated toward the shelves, recommending books to one another and claiming their favorite reading spots. One student who had previously struggled to stay focused during reading told me, \"This is my favorite part of the day now.\" Moments like that remind me how powerful an engaging environment can be.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're finishing up our novel Wonder in my reading intervention class. The students have a comfortable spot and are engaged in reading aloud, following along, and providing input on what we read. The new space has made these activities more collaborative and comfortable. Students feel ownership over their reading time and excitement for what's next.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build not just a cozy corner, but a community of curious, confident readers. Your support made this transformation possible, and we're so grateful for the lasting impact it's having on our students' love for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1753636961974,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corners-curious-minds-a-reading-s/9495845/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corners, Curious Minds: A Reading Space for Middle Schoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8394351_orig.jpg?crop=899,899,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648698855990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8394351"},{"teacherId":1678255,"projectId":9154619,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations to help students get organized!

The additional types of seating in the classroom, not only makes an impact during class, but also during lunch time. Students are able to stand, and gather around the tables at appropriate times. The students in the back can see over the other students to see the board at all times! Students are wanting the choice to be able to sit there, even during lunch time! This high table seating will be rotated every time seating charts are changed, which is usually after a unit to give all students the opportunity to sit in a different seat!
