This is great for students to go and get comfortable when they have to focus on math and science activities. They can bring their chromebook over and work individually on IXL or other applications like IM and Amplify science and get assignments done. We also work collaboratively in groups on projects so they can meet here to discuss how they are going to accomplish the task and help each other to do this.\r\n\r\nStudents were so excited to get the bean bags. This will help them focus on the lessons if they feel more comfortable. This helps with students engagement in the lessons as well. This was a positive reward given to students that were improving with their behavior or on their assignments that they enjoyed to participate in. This is also a great reading corner as well. \r\n\r\nWhen students are comfortable in their environment they are more open to learning new things. Not only that but they responded better to bigger challenges and was able to discuss and think through more complex concepts as a small group.","fullyFundedDate":1788404223003,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/10348104/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Halpern","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1217838_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754082462866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mhalpern"},{"teacherId":7278497,"projectId":10258571,"letterContent":"The 3D printer filament funded by your generous donations has transformed our classroom into an active design lab where my students take total ownership of their learning. Rather than printing pre-made files, my students modeled and created their own original 3D projects from scratch. They worked through the entire engineering design process—sketching their initial ideas, translating them into 3D software, and refining their models to ensure structural stability. Having a steady supply of filament meant they could test their own prototypes, catch design flaws, and re-engineer their models without fear of running out of materials.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is the magical moment when a project they built entirely from their own imagination materializes right off the print bed. This hands-on process has been particularly transformative for students who typically struggle with abstract concepts or standard paper-and-pencil assignments. For instance, a few students who are often soft-spoken during traditional lectures threw themselves completely into designing complex, multi-part creations. Seeing their own unique ideas take physical shape gave them an immediate boost in pride, turning them into classroom leaders who eagerly helped their peers troubleshoot and perfect their own 3D models.\r\n\r\nYour support did far more than supply raw materials—it empowered my students to see themselves as real creators, engineers, and problem-solvers. Thank you for giving them the resources to take an original idea from a blank screen to a finished print, building skills and confidence that will stay with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1778608553442,"projectUrl":"project/pla-for-3d-printing/10258571/","projectTitle":"PLA for 3d Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7278497_orig.jpg?crop=4569,4569,x1795,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777914449802","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/paulkim1"},{"teacherId":8914911,"projectId":10151860,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous support of my classroom library! Because of your donations, my 8th grade English students-and even my 7th grade leadership students- now have access to an amazing collection of new, engaging, and diverse books. Students NEED diversity in their reading so they can grow, explore cultures other than their own, gain empathy, knowledge-these are the students that will run the world one day!\r\nHaving a classroom library filled with a wide variety of books is so important to me. I want every student who walks into my classroom to be able to find a book that interests them, challenges them, and reflects their own experiences. For some students, finding the right book can completely change the way they see themselves as readers. Thanks to you, my students will have many more chances to find that book. I make it one of my highest goals to keep a well stocked classroom library, and eventually (unfortunately) the books become a bit tattered and worn out-now our library is full of fresh possibilities! It's hard to resist a new book! We read every day in my class!\r\nMost importantly, please know that these books will be loved and used by students for years to come. Your donation goes far beyond simply putting books on our shelves—you are helping create a classroom where reading is accessible, inviting, and meant for everyone. I am incredibly grateful for your kindness and for your investment in my students.

The little books are so helpful, and the students write their stories on their computer, and then they are formatted to the size of the books, and students paste the story directly into the books. They design covers for their books and add titles and their names as authors. They then add a dedication page and write a summary on the back cover. On the inside of the back cover, they write and about the author page. The finished book looks like a real book, and the students are thrilled when they feel published!\r\n\r\nThe students were thrilled as they worked together in small groups to write stories with one shared secondary character and a shared symbolic object. As a teacher, I am thrilled when I see my students working together on the floor, brainstorming, writing on large poster paper, and mapping out their stories. The books helped tie the whole project together!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for letting us have the books for the final project.","fullyFundedDate":1769192036486,"projectUrl":"project/why-stories-matter/9794320/","projectTitle":"Why Stories Matter?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kat","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6763279"},{"teacherId":7278497,"projectId":9623440,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your thoughtful donations to our classroom. Your support is already making a real difference in how students learn and engage with the material every day. These resources have helped turn regular lessons into more hands-on, meaningful experiences that students are excited to be part of.\r\n\r\nThe playing cards you provided have been a great addition to our math activities. They've helped students practice skills like arithmetic, probability, and problem-solving in a more interactive and enjoyable way. Instead of only working on paper, students are now learning through games and group activities, which has increased participation and confidence, especially for those who usually feel unsure about math.\r\n\r\nThe SSD has also been extremely helpful for managing student projects. It allows students to quickly save, transfer, and access their 3D design work without delays or technical issues. This keeps them focused on learning and creating rather than dealing with storage problems, and it gives them a stronger sense of ownership over their work.\r\n\r\nThe computer mice have made a noticeable difference in our 3D modeling work as well. They give students much better control and precision when working in design software, making it easier for them to build and refine their projects. This small improvement has had a big impact on their confidence and ability to bring their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nOverall, your donations have helped create a smoother, more engaging, and more supportive learning environment. Thank you again for your generosity and for investing in our students' learning and success.","fullyFundedDate":1757683191833,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-tools-to-bring-math-and-science/9623440/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Tools to Bring Math and Science to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7278497_orig.jpg?crop=4569,4569,x1795,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777914449802","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/paulkim1"},{"teacherId":1154283,"projectId":10063297,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students are now able to actively engage with the texts we read in class. Using the highlighters you helped provide, students annotated as we read together and learned to identify key details and textual evidence. For example, when we read \"The Lady or the Tiger?\" by Frank Stockton, students highlighted important moments in the story that helped them form their own interpretations. They then used this evidence to write an argument essay explaining whether the princess led her lover to the tiger or the lady. This process helped students slow down, think more carefully about the text, and support their ideas with evidence.\r\n When the students first saw the new highlighters, they were excited to use them to mark important details in the text, and many students were eager to share what they highlighted and explain why they thought those marts of the text were important. The materials made reading more interactive and encouraged students to participate more actively during lessons. \r\n Moving forward, students will continue using the highlighters to gather evidence from texts and strengthen their writing. Their annotations will help them respond to prompts, develop stronger explanations, and support their ideas with specific examples from what they read. Thanks to your support, my students are building important reading and writing skills while gaining confidence as thoughtful, independent learners.","fullyFundedDate":1769702354139,"projectUrl":"project/close-reading-and-annotation-project/10063297/","projectTitle":"Close Reading and Annotation Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Yu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1154283"},{"teacherId":9702189,"projectId":9950363,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nI am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous support of our classroom.
