We are using the materials daily, especially during our current unit where students are applying concepts through collaborative projects rather than just worksheets. One standout moment was when students worked in small groups to complete a project using the new supplies—they were problem-solving, asking thoughtful questions, and explaining their thinking to one another with confidence. Students are loving the Who Was Series books and learning more about people from the past and present. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the flexible seating materials, their reaction was pure excitement. Several students said things like, \"We get to use this?\" and \"I am so glad that we have more flexible seating!\" That enthusiasm carried straight into learning. Even students who are usually hesitant to participate were eager to jump in and try something new, which made a big difference in classroom energy and engagement. They wanted the opportunity to sit in the \"special seating\" to complete their work. \r\n\r\nNext, students will build on this work by using the resources for a longer-term project where they will research biographies and States, followed by creating, and presenting their learning through Google Slideshows. They'll be revising their work based on feedback, strengthening both their academic skills and their confidence as learners. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors. Your support truly gave students an opportunity to experience deeper, more meaningful learning, and they are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1760550349669,"projectUrl":"project/delaware-literacy/9826999/","projectTitle":"Delaware Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311414"},{"teacherId":5484214,"projectId":9828840,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support in providing flexible seating options, floor cushions, classroom books, and a teacher standing desk.
