The standing desk, wobble stools, wobble board, and alternative surfaces have truly changed the way my students learn each day.\r\n\r\nMy students love the freedom that the standing desk provides and often use it as a mobile workstation during collaborative projects. The wobble stools have also become classroom favorites. Students appreciate being able to lean, move, and get the sensory input they need while still staying engaged. Both of these seating options allow students to channel their extra energy in productive ways, helping them remain focused on their work.\r\n\r\nOverall, these donations have made our classroom more collaborative, comfortable, and focused. Students feel more at ease in the space, which has had a noticeable impact on their learning and confidence.

I've been co-running and now running it on my own for three years, and beside the time commitment (an hour and half at least every week), the financial burden was becoming too much! Now, thanks to your kindness, we have been able to make sure every student has their own dice, dice mats (where they roll it so it doesn't go everywhere!), miniature figures (their character), maps, props, and resources that will certainly go well-beyond this school year. \r\n\r\nOur school is often a bit hectic during the day as we have a massive school with roughly 1,100 students, so clubs like this one allow our students to be themselves, be vulnerable with one another, and let their imaginations run wild! Though not necessary these extra resources really make the adventure come to life! When I brought the boxes in from DonorsChoose, you should have see their faces as they were wowed by the generosity and potential avenues we can take the adventure. One example, a student who recently joined a few weeks back wanted to tell their character's backstory and wanted to kind of lead the group through this portion of the adventure. With so many maps and figures to choose from, he was able to piece together the whole story, and I have a good feeling that he'll want to take the full reigns one day and perhaps become the Dungeon Master (the person who runs the campaign) next year! \r\n\r\nSo, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this a reality!
