It's become the heart of our room, where we come together every day for morning meetings, read-alouds, and group discussions. One of my favorite moments so far was during our \"Kindness Circle.\" My students sat in a cozy circle on the rug, taking turns sharing kind words about each other. It was one of those quiet, powerful moments that reminded me why this space matters so much.\r\n\r\nWhen the rug first arrived, the kids were beyond excited! They immediately ran over, sat down, stretched out, and said things like, \"This feels like home!\" Their joy was so genuine it was clear right away that this wasn't just a rug, it was their space.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on a storytelling unit, and the rug has become our go-to spot for partner reading and small group storytelling games. It gives my students a warm, safe space to connect, listen, and grow together. Thank you for making that possible. Your kindness truly means the world to us.","fullyFundedDate":1741099895120,"projectUrl":"project/building-connections-a-classroom-rug-fo/9031348/","projectTitle":"Building Connections: a Classroom Rug for Learning and Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Berry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8116845_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651359897569","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8116845"},{"teacherId":9888161,"projectId":9033553,"letterContent":"In my classroom, we started a little tradition called Fidget Fridays. At first, it was meant to be something fun and lighthearted—a special treat at the end of a long week. Every Friday, my students eagerly anticipated pulling out their fidget toys, and the excitement in the room was contagious.\r\n\r\nBut what surprised me most was how quickly this \"small treat\" revealed itself as something so much more. I noticed that the moment those fidgets were in their hands, my students became calmer, more engaged, and more focused on their work. The room shifted into a place of quiet productivity, and the students—who once might have been restless or distracted—were suddenly deeply invested in the task at hand.\r\n\r\nIt was a powerful reminder that learning doesn't always look the same for every child. For some, having a small tool in their hands gives them the focus their minds need. For others, it offers comfort and a sense of security. And for all of them, it brought joy and a renewed confidence in their ability to succeed.\r\n\r\nWhat began as Fidget Fridays has now grown into something I've decided to embrace every day. If something as simple as a fidget toy can transform not just focus, but also confidence, peace, and unity in the classroom, why should it only be reserved for one day a week?\r\n\r\nNow, every day can be a day where my students have what they need to thrive. It's a reminder that sometimes, the smallest adjustments can lead to the biggest breakthroughs. And in those breakthroughs, we discover the heart of teaching: creating a space where every student feels equipped, empowered, and ready to learn","fullyFundedDate":1746821071597,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-creativity-and-social-enhancem/9033553/","projectTitle":"Sensory, Creativity, and Social Enhancements","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Forbes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9888161"},{"teacherId":8116845,"projectId":8982267,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity in providing our classroom with bean bag chairs! The impact they have made is truly incredible, and I am so grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students walked in and saw the bean bag chairs for the first time, their faces lit up with pure joy and excitement. Some immediately rushed over to test them out, while others couldn't stop smiling as they realized these cozy new seats were just for them. It was a beautiful moment of happiness and gratitude, and it was all because of you!\r\n\r\nThese chairs have completely transformed our learning environment. My students now have a comfortable, inviting space where they can read, collaborate, and engage in their work with focus and confidence. For many of them, having the choice to sit in a space that feels safe and relaxing has made a huge difference in their ability to stay engaged. I've seen students who used to struggle with focus now eagerly settle into a bean bag, excited to learn.\r\n\r\nMore than just a seating option, these chairs have created a sense of ownership and belonging in our classroom. The joy and appreciation my students have shown speak volumes about how much this means to them.
