Now I have gotten the sizes for all my students and almost have their shirts finished just in time for their first major assessments approaching at the beginning of October. I have realized that this year I have several students with testing anxiety and have talked to them about their shirts and the joy they have in this new idea. This is going to bring them something to look forward to when it is a testing day rather than the anxiety that they are filling. \r\n\r\nI cannot wait to see the joy in each student as they set personal goals and make their growth to show on their personal shirts. It is something that they will have to remember that even if testing does not go their way all the time they still are able to reach their goals. Thank you for letting my students be able to express themselves in a way they have not before.","fullyFundedDate":1786211303049,"projectUrl":"project/striving-to-reach-their-goals/10394254/","projectTitle":"Striving to Reach Their Goals","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Musser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp792976_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785618607537","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/musser"},{"teacherId":9920285,"projectId":10437420,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! Your generosity has brought new STEM toys, fidgets, and chair bands into our room, and my students have been so excited to use them.

Watching them work through a challenge, make mistakes, try again, and celebrate when something finally works has been such a wonderful part of our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe fidgets and chair bands have also made a meaningful difference in helping students stay comfortable, focused, and ready to learn. My students were thrilled when they first saw all of the new materials, and they immediately wanted to explore everything! These resources are helping me create a classroom where students can learn in different ways and have the tools they need to be successful.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, my students will keep using these materials during STEM challenges, partner activities, independent work, and our classroom community-building activities.

My students were so excited to see our new rug and immediately recognized it as a special place where we could gather together. It has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the classroom for morning meetings, read-alouds, class discussions, and hands-on learning activities. My students love having a comfortable space where we can come together as a class, share ideas, and learn from one another.\r\n\r\nThe rug has also helped make our classroom routines more engaging and purposeful. Whether we are gathering to introduce a new lesson, discussing a story, practicing a new skill, or celebrating something we accomplished together, having a designated gathering space helps my students know when it is time to listen, participate, and connect. As we continue learning and growing together, this rug will be a part of so many important classroom moments.

It has been wonderful to see students independently use the Calm Space, practice calming strategies, and then return to their work feeling more focused and confident.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students more than classroom materials; it has given them tools to understand themselves, manage big feelings, and build skills they can carry with them beyond our classroom.

We use our iPads for \"listen to reading\" time. Students get to listen to stories being read to them on a website called MyOn. It's an online library that reads fiction and nonfictions books to my students to help build their love reading and have unlimited access to books.\r\n\r\nStudents also love to use the iPads to post pictures of their work on an app called Seesaw to show their parents work they are proud of. \r\n\r\nTheir favorite time of the day is when we use our iPads during our reading and math centers.
