The fidget toys have contributed to students becoming more focused as they're able to fidget while working. The chair bands have also allowed students to have stimulation while sitting still at their desks, which is extremely important for young students nowadays.\r\n\r\nThe feelings chart and calming corner have contributed positive ways to handle emotions in my classroom library. They allow my kids who are going through big emotions to take a moment and self-regulate which has been so helpful.

I create custom sight word flashcards tailored to each student's specific IEP goals. Before your donation, standard paper cards quickly tore and wore out from daily use. Now, these durable, professional-grade materials stand up to constant hands-on practice.\r\n\r\nThe kids were thrilled when they saw their sleek new flashcards! Being able to handle their own sturdy sets gives them a real sense of ownership, making sight word practice during targeted instruction far more engaging.

One of our favorite projects has been designing and building structures using the new materials. Students worked in teams, shared ideas, tested their designs, and made improvements when something did not work as planned. It was exciting to see them using creativity, communication, and critical-thinking skills while learning that mistakes are an important part of the engineering process.\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were immediately excited and curious. They wanted to touch, explore, and begin creating right away! Many students started asking questions and sharing ideas about what they could build. Their enthusiasm made the classroom feel like a room full of young engineers and inventors.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue developing our current STEAM project by testing and improving our designs. Students will observe what worked, identify challenges, and make changes to create stronger and more effective solutions. We will also give students opportunities to explain their thinking and share their finished designs with classmates. These experiences are helping our students become confident problem-solvers while making learning fun and meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1729400680635,"projectUrl":"project/steam-supplies/8881134/","projectTitle":"STEAM Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Porter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9342222"},{"teacherId":7939095,"projectId":10105007,"letterContent":"My students benefit from moving around. With your generous donation I was able to purchase stools for my small group table. They have a place for their feet and allow them to sit how its comfortable for them in order to concentrate on their work. The cushions go really well on the stools and provide a bit of elementary luxury. :) I also chose materials to create cushions for my other stools around the classroom. They are removable so they can also be used when working on the floor. \r\n\r\nI wanted a place for my students' work to be displayed. I used the magnets to attach to the whiteboard. The glue gun came in handy to secure the magnets! They have a lot of work to display.

All of the items have brought smiles to every single one of my students. \r\nThe classroom supplies were put into use right away, especially the head phones. These are essential especially during assessment or small group time. Since many of my students did not bring in head phones, students had difficulty hearing their tasks on the iPad. Now they are able to choose from a variety of colors (very exciting!) and work undisturbed by extra noises.\r\nStudents also received stickers as an incentive when they completed their iReady lessons AND earned 100% on their lessons. Students are on a personal mission to deplete my supply of stickers when they get 100% on a lesson!! Let's go!!\r\nBut the best thing we received were the puzzles. I used the puzzles during my small group intervention time. One of my students were motivated to participate (not a usual occurrence) and complete their assignments just so they were able to play with a puzzle.

One meaningful project has been learning to kilo (observe carefully) different native plants growing in our māla (garden). Students have been using the materials to identify plants, document their observations, and better understand how each plant contributes to the ecosystem. It's been powerful to watch them slow down, look closely, and build a deeper relationship with the land.\r\n\r\nA special moment came when we used these resources to help organize and celebrate an Arbor Day event with our students and their families. Together, we explored the importance of planting and caring for trees, and students were able to share what they've learned about native plants. Families joined in planting, learning, and connecting, which made the experience even more meaningful for everyone involved.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and curious. Many were eager to start exploring right away, and it sparked thoughtful questions about the plants they see every day but hadn't fully understood before.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building their knowledge by tracking plant growth, expanding their observations, and creating projects that share what they've learned with others. We're excited to keep growing this work and deepening our connection to our māla and community. Your support has truly made these experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1771606185128,"projectUrl":"project/eyes-on-ina-lets-kilo/10103061/","projectTitle":"Eyes on ʻĀina: Let’s Kilo!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Balancio-Sadamaru","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9373166_orig.png?crop=705,706,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702410380056","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9373166"},{"teacherId":10260900,"projectId":10103885,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our classroom. The materials from this project showed up and immediately became part of our daily routines, which is always the best sign that they were the right fit for the room.\r\n\r\nThe desk dividers have probably made the biggest difference. During independent reading and writing time, they give students just enough structure to stay focused without making things feel overly serious. I've noticed students settling into their work faster and staying with it longer, which has helped our reading block run a lot more smoothly.\r\n\r\nThe basketball hoop has also become part of classroom life. Students keep trying to dunk on me during transitions and brain breaks, which they are unfortunately getting better at. It's turned into a fun way to build movement into the day while keeping energy positive and manageable.\r\n\r\nThe LEGO sets were another immediate favorite. Students started building during structured time and then bringing their creations up to my desk to explain what they made and how it worked. My desk is definitely more cluttered now, but it's cluttered with some pretty impressive designs, so I'm okay with that tradeoff.\r\n\r\nAnd the stress balls are already gone—which honestly tells me they were exactly as useful as I hoped they'd be. Students used them the way they were meant to be used: quietly, consistently, and without interrupting learning.\r\n\r\nWe're also working through Holes together as a class right now, and it's been a great anchor for discussion and writing. Students are tracking characters, making predictions, and starting to support their ideas with evidence from the text more confidently.\r\n\r\nI really appreciate your support and the role you played in helping make our classroom a more focused, active, and enjoyable place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1771495158466,"projectUrl":"project/focused-minds-active-bodies-and-stron/10103885/","projectTitle":"Focused Minds, Active Bodies, and Strong Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Viaud","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10260900_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y187&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763806561533","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10260900"},{"teacherId":10265954,"projectId":9917893,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to our classroom.
