The moment the students saw them, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately claimed their favorite spots and couldn't wait to settle in. It was such a fun, heartwarming moment that reminded me how small touches can make a big difference in making school feel like home. To make sure everyone gets a fair turn, we even had to come up with a little checklist so that every student gets a chance to enjoy the chairs during reading, group work, and quiet reflection time.\r\n\r\nSince their arrival, the bean bag chairs have become a central part of how we engage in learning. During today's reading activity, a few students curled up in the chairs with their books and were so focused and immersed, it was like seeing their love of reading come to life! These cozy spots have also encouraged collaboration, as students now gather comfortably in small groups for brainstorming and discussion. It's amazing to watch how something as simple as a comfy seat can inspire confidence, engagement, and a sense of belonging. Your donation is not only making learning more comfortable, but it's also helping our students feel valued and inspired every day. Thank you for helping us create a classroom space where kids feel at home while exploring their creativity and curiosity!","fullyFundedDate":1764712949539,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-space-to-learn-flexible-seating/9896424/","projectTitle":"A Cozy Space to Learn: Flexible Seating for Small Groups","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5237063_orig.png?crop=191,191,x7,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737991138981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5237063"},{"teacherId":5237063,"projectId":9088636,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in funding our writing portfolio project! The multicolored portfolios will make a noticeable impact in our classroom. Students are already excited to see their new materials and are beginning to take pride in organizing their writing. These portfolios will provide a more engaging and structured way for students to track their progress, helping them visualize how much they've grown over time.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful outcomes of this project will be the connection it builds between school and home. Too often, middle school parents don't get the chance to see their child's hard work, but these writing portfolios will change that. Students will be able to bring home a tangible representation of their creativity and progress, sparking conversations with their families about their goals and accomplishments. This meaningful exchange will encourage students to take ownership of their learning and reinforce the importance of effort and growth.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible. Your contribution has added color, structure, and pride to our writing journey, and our students will be better for it.","fullyFundedDate":1746830047428,"projectUrl":"project/writing-is-best-when-shared/9088636/","projectTitle":"Writing Is Best When Shared","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5237063_orig.png?crop=191,191,x7,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737991138981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5237063"},{"teacherId":5237063,"projectId":9082664,"letterContent":"I am excited to share the incredible impact your support has had on my special needs students. The take-home folders you helped provide have transformed our communication system between school and home, allowing students to track assignments, important notes, and completed work more effectively. This organized approach has not only made it easier for parents to stay informed about their child's progress but has also empowered my students to take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first heard about their new folders, their faces lit up with excitement! The sheer joy and curiosity they displayed reinforced the importance of having resources that cater to their unique needs. These folders are not just tools; they are a vital part of building essential executive functioning skills like organization and responsibility. Each student is now better equipped to manage their assignments, fostering independence and confidence that extends beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to use these folders in our current classroom projects, where students will document their learning journey and reflect on their progress. This initiative is about more than just academic achievement; it's about nurturing their resilience and determination. Your contributions have truly unlocked their full potential, and I cannot thank you enough for your support. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1742905703598,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-organized/9082664/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5237063_orig.png?crop=191,191,x7,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737991138981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5237063"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60452","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":490,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":60452,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joseph Case Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joseph Case Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/swansea-school-district/joseph-case-junior-high-school/60452"}
