The wobble cushions also allowed everyone to have an option in seating. We shared a wobble cushion with another classroom who had a need as well.

When the students first saw the LEGO materials, their excitement was immediate. Many students expressed how eager they were to start building and experimenting right away. Even students who are typically hesitant to participate became more engaged and confident. The materials created an inclusive learning environment where students felt comfortable taking risks, collaborating with classmates, and sharing ideas. The excitement carried over into focused learning as students quickly transitioned from excitement to purposeful problem-solving. The next steps for my students involve using the LEGO resources to deepen their understanding of STEM concepts through more complex challenges. These materials will continue to support creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking as students build skills that extend beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1761932790021,"projectUrl":"project/lego-bricks-bring-kids-together/9858169/","projectTitle":"LEGO Bricks Bring Kids Together","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Followwill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6360147"},{"teacherId":10047006,"projectId":9430440,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in funding my last classroom project for the art drying rack and easel. Both of these items have already made such a positive impact in my classroom, and I am so grateful for your support.\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore we had the easel, we mostly used small whiteboards or paper at our tables. Now, students take turns writing and drawing at the easel, and it has encouraged participation from everyone. \r\n\r\nThe art drying rack has been equally helpful. Before receiving it, I often struggled to find space for students' artwork to dry safely. Paintings would be spread out on tables, counters, or even the floor, which made our classroom feel cluttered and made it hard to protect students' work. The new drying rack has completely solved that problem. Now, every piece has a safe place to dry, and students know exactly where to put their projects when they finish.\r\n\r\nThis small change has made a big difference in our classroom routine. It helps keep our space organized, saves time, and gives students a sense of responsibility. They love checking the rack later to see their finished art displayed neatly and ready to go home. It's also allowed us to take on more creative projects since we no longer have to worry about where everything will dry.\r\n\r\nThese two items may seem simple, but they have truly transformed parts of our day. The easel brings energy to our literacy and math lessons, and the drying rack keeps our art time calm, organized, and enjoyable. Together, they've made our classroom more functional, engaging, and inspiring.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my students and for believing in the power of hands-on learning. Your kindness and generosity have brought so much joy to our classroom and have given my students tools they can use to learn, create, and grow. We are so appreciative of your support and will continue to make the most of these wonderful resources every day.","fullyFundedDate":1754779065426,"projectUrl":"project/creating-little-artists-drying-rack-e/9430440/","projectTitle":"Creating Little Artists: Drying Rack & Easel for Kindergarten Creativity!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kirmse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047006_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762722606415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047006"},{"teacherId":8888703,"projectId":9271152,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation. The wave chairs have been magical in my classroom. Children who were having a hard time regulating their output of proprioceptive movement found they are able to have movement but not so much that it impairs learning of themselves and learning of others.\r\n I apologize for the late thank you note. I have taught in Early Childhood Education for 20 years. Throughout my years I learned a lot about sensory input/output. I also earned all of my teaching degrees and ended with a Masters of Education in Special Education. I have worked with many types of service providers that help children with Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, and Physical Therapy. Additionally, along the way I became an In District Autism Consultant (IDAC) via Project Access and a Missouri Parent Advisor for the Blind. A few life events appeared and I needed to adjust my sails.\r\n Adjusting my sails meant a new venture in education. This is my first year teaching 3rd Grade. I have 22 amazing students with diverse needs in a very rural low economic school district. The wave chairs are amazing with one exception, I do not have enough. I have 2 wave chairs and 2 wobble seats. I will be reaching out and asking for more donations.
