Each morning, our students begin their day by working with these puzzles, and it has quickly become one of their favorite routines. Not only do they love the challenge, but puzzles also give them a chance to practice problem-solving, perseverance, and focus in a fun and engaging way. They are learning to look closely at details, think critically, and celebrate small successes as they put each piece into place.\r\n\r\nBeyond building cognitive skills, puzzles also benefit our students socially and emotionally. Working alongside their classmates, they practice sharing, taking turns, and encouraging one another. This calming and predictable morning activity helps set a positive tone for the day, giving our students a confident and focused start. We are truly grateful for your support in making our mornings both meaningful and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1757000823161,"projectUrl":"project/piecing-together-bright-minds/9572047/","projectTitle":"Piecing Together Bright Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mosher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9723374_orig.jpg?crop=1155,1155,x524,y591&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746205686064","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9723374"},{"teacherId":9723374,"projectId":9404051,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous gift of recess equipment for our kindergarten students. The hula hoops, jump ropes, chalk, and sports balls have brought so much excitement and joy to our playground. More than just fun, these items are helping our students build essential social skills such as teamwork, sharing, and problem-solving as they play games together, take turns, and include one another in activities. Recess has become an even more meaningful time for them to connect and grow as friends.\r\n\r\nYour donation is also supporting our students' physical development in important ways. Jumping, running, balancing, and tossing help strengthen their coordination, endurance, and overall fitness. These opportunities for active play not only support their health but also help them return to the classroom more focused and ready to learn.

Your gift provides us with the perfect tools to begin important conversations about empathy, kindness, and problem solving at an age when children are just beginning to understand these big concepts.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students have enjoyed listening to engaging stories, and are gaining lifelong skills that will support them far beyond kindergarten.

This carpet has been out home base for learning the second half of the year. Our wiggles have been able to escape and allow our focus to remain intent on learning thanks to the yoga donut seats. Our string lights provide the calm tranquility that every student and adult needs to thrive and the reading teepee has been a wonderful motivator for them to practice independent/partner reading. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting us and our classroom.

I have never seen such a difference with such a simple addition. The foot wiggle bands are the most amazing outlet for my students with excessive energy and is just enjoyable for the ones who just want the freedom to move! They are used at all times of the day and I am able to tell just by the frequency and duration of their leg wiggles how to best approach their needs for the day. \r\n\r\nThe Kinetic Sand has been a huge bonus for my students of all grade levels. The younger students engage in sensory activities while the older student will put in their best effort for a reward opportunity to play in the sand. \r\n\r\nThe most impactful tool we were so grateful to receive was the sand and sand trays for our kinesthetic learning. We write in the sand every day as part of our small group.

If you could have seen the look on their faces when the custodians just kept unloading HUGE boxes outside of our classroom. I was a little disappointed, only at the custodians, because I was planning to have our class elf deliver them. (Haha!) It was a Christmas surprise for sure!\r\n\r\nWe are using them mostly for stations, but the students really ask for anything they do to be done \"on the new seats.\" They love to read books, complete chromebook work, and just lounge on the seats. I am telling them that we have to keep them in the best of shape- so no \"flopping around\" or eating on them. We are having to assign days to certain students for the seating, because the arguing and \"calling dibs\" has already began. \r\n\r\nWe hope that you enjoy the pictures that we have attached. People like you are what make teaching easier! The resources and supplies we receive are great, but teachers spend a ton of our own money getting things like these for our classroom. I'm always thankful for the support of Donors' Choose Angels. Thank you for making my students happy! We appreciate you, and hope you continue to support others, as you have supported us.","fullyFundedDate":1733162670393,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-flexible-learners/8941813/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Flexible Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beavers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3674744_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1468420543754","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3674744"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106503","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":772,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.3,"schoolId":106503,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Saddle Ridge School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Saddle Ridge School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/walker-county-school-district/saddle-ridge-school/106503"}
