I enjoy flexible seating in my classroom. With the addition of a basketball bean bag chair, I have an item students fill comfortable relaxing in and reading in during their free time.\r\n\r\nI love the idea of noise cancelling headphones as it limits distractions and provides more quiet opportunities for my students. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving to this project.","fullyFundedDate":1727967157994,"projectUrl":"project/more-ways-to-grow-in-my-classroom/8842842/","projectTitle":"More Ways to Grow in My Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Greene","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7963371_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691102844212","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/josh-greene"},{"teacherId":7963371,"projectId":9189130,"letterContent":"The giving of books to a classroom is a teacher's dream.

Now-a-days the children of our world love to game. I am not so much of an advocate of gaming as students are on devices too much these days.\r\n\r\nHowever, if we can provide small doses of gaming when achievement of academics occurs, I can get behind the idea of providing more screen time. The addition of a Nintendo Switch in my room has boosted efforts and student work and they work hard to get some time with the Nintendo Switch.\r\n\r\nThis addition as certainly added to the climate of my room.
