Teachers have been taking bins, boxes and bags and setting them up with math tools, math games and paper supplies. Now that they are set up, teachers are teaching routines for students to get the tools or games they need all on their own. One teacher has ready made math centers in a certain spot and students know that when they are done with the math task, they turn in their work and can go take out a math center. These centers utilize bins and bags from this project! Having a designated math space and organizational materials that are easily accessible for students is now the norm for classrooms across our school.

During independent reading, I noticed a few students who usually have a hard time sitting still were able to stay engaged longer because the chairs gave them a way to move without distracting others. The pencil boxes have also made transitions so much smoother—students know exactly where their supplies are, which means we can spend more time learning and less time searching for materials.\r\n\r\nStudents were so excited! When the chairs arrived, I had a line of students asking if they could \"try one out\" right away. It was fun to see their faces light up as they realized these were just for them. With the pencil boxes, students were thrilled to have their own personal space for supplies—one even said, \"It feels like I finally have my own little desk toolbox!\"\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on collaborative group projects in science, and the new organization tools are helping so much. Each group can grab their pencil boxes quickly and settle into the activity without wasting time. The wobbly chairs are especially useful during group discussions, since they allow students who need movement to participate fully without disrupting their teammates. These resources are helping my students feel more comfortable, prepared, and ready to learn every day.","fullyFundedDate":1711330885904,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-seating/8274224/","projectTitle":"Small Group Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8631631_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x470,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710900383495","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8631631"},{"teacherId":6503283,"projectId":9069445,"letterContent":"The students and teachers of Sanchez Elementary would like to thank you. Recently, a few of our literacy programs have moved to online. Students are able to play games that keep them engaged as they practice and reinforce skills they are learning in class. All of our classes received headphones to allow more students to access the online learning program at the same time. We also were able to use the headphones during state testing and our STEAM Fair event. Students love getting to choose the color of their headphones before they start their activity. \r\n\r\nThanks to you a few students and teachers at Sanchez Elementary also received brand new classroom bookshelves. You donating to this cause also ensured that learning spaces were organized and set up with new bookshelves at the start of the school year.

Thanks to your gifts, they now have the tools to practice drawing techniques, build a portfolio of ideas, and express their thoughts, ideas, and feelings through drawing. Some students who had not been fully engaged really came alive when they had agency and ownership over their personal sketch books.\r\n\r\nWith your gift of multicultural crayons, pencils, and markers, all of our young artists can now ready represent themselves, their families, and their communities without the limitation of the standard selection of colors. On a recent self-portrait project with K-2 students, it was amazing to see them excitedly going through the crayons and matching them to their own skin tone. If students don't see themselves in the tools, they won't see themselves in art.

The technology and resources you helped provide have made such a positive impact on my students' daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nIn our class, technology is more than just a tool—it's a bridge to access, engagement, and opportunity. The new resources you helped fund have allowed my students, especially my English Language Learners, to interact with content in more visual and interactive ways. Whether it's using digital tracking charts to monitor homework progress or engaging with bilingual materials found through Teachers Pay Teachers , technology has helped my students become more independent and confident learners.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things for my students has been the introduction of visual learning aids found via Teachers Pay Teachers and displaying them with our new magnetic rods.

It's been so wonderful to see kids feel empowered because they have access to the proper supports and know how to use them and where to find them. Students have become more independent with work, arriving to class, grabbing their materials, and sitting down to work. It's also been really great to try the incorrect supports and have a big realization when they make a mistake. No longer am I the one responsible for telling kids what they need to learn... they've taken so much more ownership over their learning with the addition of our amazing math cart.\r\n\r\nWe also can't thank you enough for our double-sided white board.
