The library will buzz with teamwork, problem-solving, and celebration as students test their creations.

These resources have already made a tremendous impact, allowing our youngest learners to engage in meaningful, creative, and joyful exploration as they build their language skills.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, students are not only experiencing the novelty of new, high-quality materials, but they are also able to practice transferring their learning from English to Spanish in more natural and engaging ways. The centers you helped make possible are strengthening their confidence, providing hands-on opportunities to apply language in context, and fostering curiosity and collaboration among peers.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your partnership and belief in our mission.

Your kindness made it possible for us to create a calming corner equipped with a weighted stuffed bear—affectionately named Cotton Candy by the students—as well as special seating stools and soft, foldable cushion chairs. These additions have truly transformed our learning environment into a more comforting, supportive, and student-centered space.\r\n\r\nOur students are already benefiting from these resources every day. The calming corner has become a safe spot where children can regulate their emotions, take mindful breaks, and return to learning feeling refreshed. The new stools and cushion chairs have also made a tremendous difference during small-group work and independent reading time, giving students flexible seating options that help them focus and feel comfortable.

They love any opportunity to write on whiteboards, and these sturdy, easy-to-move boards have quickly become one of our most valuable classroom tools.\r\n\r\nWe use them daily during rich, bilingual math tasks where students work in pairs or small groups to solve complex problems. These \"vertical non-permanent surfaces,\" as we call them, make thinking visible — students are up, talking, reasoning, and engaging deeply with each other's ideas. It's amazing to see how confident they've become as mathematicians who can explain their reasoning out loud and in writing.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments came during a partner math challenge where each group tackled the same problem in a different way — the buzz of collaboration, discussion in both English and Spanish, and the joy of discovery filled the room. The whiteboards made it possible for everyone to contribute, revise, and share ideas freely.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to expand the use of these boards beyond math. My students are excited to use them for vocabulary practice, reading comprehension discussions, and even social-emotional reflections. Thanks to your generosity, we've not only elevated engagement but also built a culture of curiosity and collaboration in our classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts — gracias for believing in our students and supporting their learning journey!","fullyFundedDate":1755740849299,"projectUrl":"project/building-our-thinking-classroom-through/9607661/","projectTitle":"Building our Thinking Classroom Through Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Quinn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9719193_orig.jpg?crop=897,897,x0,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725711288283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9719193"},{"teacherId":7561749,"projectId":9601895,"letterContent":"When the new basketballs, soccer balls, and kickballs arrived, my students were beyond excited. They could hardly wait to get outside and play. The very first day, students immediately started organizing their own games and inviting classmates who don't always join in. It was amazing to see everyone included and having fun together.\r\n\r\nThese recess balls are already making a big difference. Students are more active, they're practicing teamwork, and even using problem-solving skills when setting up their own rules and games. For example, one group created a \"rotating teams\" system so that everyone had a chance to play, which showed just how much they've grown in leadership and cooperation.\r\n\r\nThe next step is watching them build stronger friendships and learn how to work together through play. I can already see their confidence and excitement carrying back into the classroom after recess.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just give us sports equipment—it gave my students joy, teamwork, and a reason to look forward to every day.
