Your generosity has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students. Many of them need movement in order to learn, and having safe, structured ways to wiggle has helped them feel more comfortable, regulated, and ready to participate throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThese tools have been especially powerful during our math groups. Math requires students to attend to multiple steps, hold information in their working memory, and stay focused for sustained periods of time. With the ability to move their bodies in appropriate ways, my students are better able to concentrate, stick with challenging problems, and fully engage in discussions and practice.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is a more inclusive, supportive learning environment where students can focus on learning instead of fighting their need to move. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping them show what they are capable of every day.","fullyFundedDate":1759339892983,"projectUrl":"project/help-7-year-olds-wiggle-and-learn/9746581/","projectTitle":"Help 7 Year Olds Wiggle AND Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vigo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2780182_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x77,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758545910834","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/monicavigo"},{"teacherId":2787690,"projectId":9656118,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the new carpet and the books about feelings for our Pre-K classroom.

They are using the cameras to capture classroom activities, learning centers, science observations, and special moments with their friends. Seeing their own photographs printed instantly has been incredibly exciting and has sparked rich conversations, storytelling, and early writing skills.\r\n\r\nThese cameras are also helping build confidence and creativity.
