Your support has brought an immediate and meaningful improvement to our learning environment. The students were thrilled the moment they saw the cushions, and they quickly gravitated toward them during independent work, small-group activities, and whole-class lessons. Your kindness has given them a new way to stay engaged, focused, and comfortable throughout the day.\r\n\r\nAlready, I am seeing the positive impact these cushions are having on student concentration and participation. Several students have expressed that the cushions help them calm their bodies so they can better focus on their learning—something that makes a real difference in our classroom community. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for believing in our students. Thank you for helping us create a space where every learner can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1755146433448,"projectUrl":"project/bouncy-bands-in-our-hands/9529758/","projectTitle":"Bouncy Bands in Our Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Poussard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1873973_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1575426526454","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-poussard"},{"teacherId":1806806,"projectId":9364192,"letterContent":"The puzzles we received from this project have been a huge hit with our students! We were able to purchase high quality wooden puzzles with vibrant colors. These have been great as an introduction to puzzles for some of my students who have never done a puzzle before. The chunky pieces are perfect for their little hands. They have even been using the pieces to imaginative play! The themes of animals and vehicle are of high interest.\r\n\r\nWhen I inherited this Pre-K classroom, many of our puzzles had outdated pictures that were faded or torn. I did not have enough 'starter' puzzles to engage students with limited experience. Students are now choosing to go to the puzzle center and excited to play with and talk about the puzzles they are doing. \r\n\r\nWe so appreciate your support in making this dream a reality. I have been able to share these with the Pre-K classroom across the hall and their classroom is enjoying them as much as ours. That means over 50 students are being impacted by your generosity. 50 pairs of hands playing, learning, discovering, and problem solving.
