I was able to set up my classroom with the new furniture before school started and my students are enjoying the variety of seating options. Some of them choose a comfy chair and location for both my lesson and independent work while others choose a more traditional seating option to complete their independent work.\r\n\r\nI also have students coming to my space for lunch as an alternative to the loud cafeteria, and this provides a space to relax and get ready for the rest of their day after they have eaten. The impact of your donation is reaching beyond just the instructional experience my students get in my class!\r\n\r\nMy goal is to continue promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance and to help my students realize that their unique needs, strengths, and desires as students and learners are valued. My hope is that as they become more comfortable accessing what they need in my space they will become more comfortable advocating for themselves in other spaces within and beyond high school.\r\n\r\nYou are making a difference in the lives of amazing students!","fullyFundedDate":1750345765363,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-focus-flexible-seating-for-ne/9370307/","projectTitle":"Comfort & Focus: Flexible Seating for Neurodiverse Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9560308_orig.jpg?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1717437884666","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/julie-martin-beaulieu"},{"teacherId":9455281,"projectId":8490366,"letterContent":"Last fall we were able to see the effect of bringing some birds to our pollinator garden.

This summer, the summer school children will be maintaining the pollinator garden and bird feeders. I will update with more pictures once things are in full bloom! This project has fostered curiosity in students and allowed them to practice scientific skills such as collecting data, graphing and learning about the eco system.

Students are spending time in this area and finding books that represent who they are or their interests. This has been a great experience for those who frequently feel as if who they are is not accepted in different aspects of their lives. School should be a place where all students feel seen, respected, and celebrated. Your donation has made it possible for me to create that experience for my students.\r\n\r\nWe also have a room without windows so this rotating seasonal art piece that looks like a window really adds an element of comfort and coziness to our room.
