My students were so excited to see the new seating. These new seating options have made a big difference in helping create a classroom that feels welcoming and comfortable for students. ✨\r\n\r\nWe are using the flexible seating throughout our AVID Excel lessons, especially during partner conversations, Scholar Groups, and collaborative activities. Scholars can move into groups, work with different classmates, and choose a space that helps them stay focused and engaged. One of my favorite moments has been watching students naturally gather around the new seating during group work and conversations. Because of this, they are moving, talking, collaborating, and taking ownership of their learning space !!\r\n\r\nOur AVID Excel classroom is a place where students are building academic language, confidence, communication skills, and leadership. These new resources help make that possible by giving students a space where they feel comfortable taking risks, sharing their ideas, and learning from one another.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us make our growing classroom a place where our students feel that they belong! 👩🏼‍🏫✨","fullyFundedDate":1775769680087,"projectUrl":"project/freedom-to-learn-avid-for-esl/10128677/","projectTitle":"Freedom to Learn: Avid for ESL","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jaquette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9649559_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y544&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772554984949","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jaquette"},{"teacherId":3134364,"projectId":9678636,"letterContent":"Hello and we hope you are all having a good winter! My students and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for everything that you have done for us by supporting our classroom supplies that were desperately needed to keep our class running smoothly. We are in the peak of cold season with lots of students being out with Influenza and needing tissues, Clorox cleaning wipes, and just random things like absorbent paper towels and a dustpan for spills. \r\n\r\nI remember when I saw that our project got funded on New Year's Eve because my heart leapt with joy! I had seen that we were close to our deadline and figured that because of the times we probably wouldn't be fully funded, but we were! What a relief, as we were completely out of tissues and really struggling with just the basic supplies needed to help our classroom function, like good writing pencils that have erasers and other supplies.\r\n\r\nOur semester changed over in the middle of January right when everything was so stressful and painful with current events and it was such a nice touch to have great incentive prizes and stickers for students to be able to celebrate their growth and finishing their testing. There was so much enthusiasm for the sweet little prizes, and so nice that it didn't have to be sugar-based at all.
