The sensory peapod/canoe, sensory aquarium fidget tool, and the large leaf rug you funded fit beautifully within our nature‑themed space and immediately made it more inviting and soothing. Your contribution has created a warm, grounding environment where students feel safer to pause, regulate, and breathe — a place that truly reflects care and intentional design.\r\n\r\nThese tools are already making a meaningful difference for neurodivergent students and those with emotional and behavioral needs. The peapod offers a cozy, secure spot for students to gather themselves; the aquarium fidget provides gentle, focused sensory input that helps reduce anxiety and supports grounding; and the large leaf adds a calming, natural focal point that supports regulation and an intentional floor work space. Your support not only supplied materials but also sent a powerful message to our students that their well‑being matters. Thank you for helping make my office a kinder, more supportive place to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1755737524385,"projectUrl":"project/coolest-calmregulation-area/9542879/","projectTitle":"Coolest Calm/Regulation Area!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9232078_orig.jpg?crop=2098,2098,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754613107655","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9232078"},{"teacherId":3919269,"projectId":9484656,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my 4th and 5th graders were able to launch true literature circles with high-quality texts, where every title was a Newbery Medal winner or honor book. Having sets of four meant each group could read the same book at the same time, and from the very first week students were hooked. They met weekly to discuss emerging themes, character development, and big ideas, and the level of engagement was unlike anything we've seen before. Many students who typically struggle to stay focused and finish entire books were suddenly deeply absorbed in their stories.\r\n\r\nThe impact stretched far beyond the classroom walls. Several parents reached out to tell me their child was \"devouring\" their book at home...one even said they'd never seen their child so eager to read, especially such rich and meaningful literature. Every student finished their book club novel, and now they're creating thoughtful, creative projects to share their understanding and interpret the themes they discovered.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide books, it created authentic literary communities, sparked new enthusiasm for reading, and helped students see themselves as real readers and thinkers. Thank you for giving my students access to exceptional stories and the opportunity to grow through meaningful discussion and collaboration. Your generosity truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1755757347591,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-love-of-reading-through-stude/9484656/","projectTitle":"Building a Love of Reading Through Student-Led Book Clubs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jaquette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3919269_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474336946318","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3919269"},{"teacherId":9487227,"projectId":9542957,"letterContent":"Wow!

The bright colors are inviting too.\r\n\r\nThe new chairs and desks replaced older furniture that was falling apart. Now the students get to sit at safe and comfortable space throughout their day.

Thanks to your donation, we were able to acquire iPads, which have already made a profound difference in the way we assess and support our students.\r\n\r\nAs you know, our goal was to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our assessments. The iPads have exceeded our expectations in every way. The testing format on these devices was designed specifically for touchscreen use, which we previously did not have access to. This has significantly improved the accuracy of our assessments and streamlined the process, allowing us to better serve each student's needs.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the immediate feedback provided by the iPads has been invaluable. Teachers can now identify areas where students are struggling in real-time, which enables us to offer timely support and adjust instruction as needed. This ability to respond quickly to student needs has made a marked difference in their learning outcomes.\r\n\r\nThe use of educational apps on iPads has further allowed us to eliminate the burden of paper-based assessments and manual grading. Teachers now spend less time on administrative tasks and more time focusing on individualized instruction. The flexibility of digital assessments has also made the testing process more inclusive.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly transformed our ability to create a more dynamic, efficient, and personalized learning environment. We are now better equipped to provide the one-on-one support that each student deserves, and your contribution is a key part of this success.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible. Your support is helping us make a lasting impact on our students' education, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment to our mission.\r\n\r\nWarm regards,","fullyFundedDate":1724463303353,"projectUrl":"project/tech-enhanced-testing-empowering-educat/8540045/","projectTitle":"Tech-Enhanced Testing: Empowering Educators with iPads for Smarter Assessments","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3519736_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457715443764","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3519736"},{"teacherId":2457863,"projectId":8575525,"letterContent":"What an amazing gift my students have received!
