These fidgets have already made a noticeable difference for several students who benefit from having a quiet, calming tool in their hands while they focus on class tasks. I've seen students who normally struggle to stay engaged remain on task longer, simply because they now have an appropriate outlet for their energy. The letter tray organizers have helped transform our classroom routines. We now have clearly labeled trays for classwork, homework, and small-group materials. Lastly, the calculator holder has also been a huge help. Before, calculators were often misplaced or mixed in with other supplies. Now students know exactly where to grab one and where to return it, which keeps us organized and prepared, especially during problem-solving lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our current math unit, these resources will support students in staying organized, reducing distractions, and managing their materials more independently.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students a more supportive, structured, and engaging learning environment. Your generosity is making a real difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1755795825193,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-math-teacher/9626794/","projectTitle":"First Year Math Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10110375"},{"teacherId":4012333,"projectId":9400156,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my DonorsChoose project!
