I wish you could have seen the look on their faces when I showed them all of the new sets of books that I was able to purchase! Pure joy. Now when we have independent reading time there are much better options for them. I really love to read and I want to try and foster a love for reading with my students as well. The new books definitely help with that! The stools that I was able to purchase for teaching small groups are so nice.

The moment my students saw them, their faces lit up with excitement. They were eager to try them out, and it has already made such a difference. Students who tend to get wiggly during lessons are now more focused and engaged, and they love having the option to move while learning.\r\n\r\nThe stools have quickly become a favorite classroom tool, especially during reading groups and independent work time. I've noticed students taking turns and encouraging one another to use them responsibly, which has created an even more positive and supportive classroom environment. These stools not only give students the movement they need, but they also help build community and responsibility.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students a resource that supports both their learning and their well-being. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and for believing in my students. You've made a lasting impact on their daily experience at school, and we are so thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1754408160246,"projectUrl":"project/wobble-stools-for-wiggly-learners/9529665/","projectTitle":"Wobble Stools for Wiggly Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reed","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10109424_orig.jpg?crop=1174,1174,x409,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754201153044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10109424"},{"teacherId":3602050,"projectId":9207291,"letterContent":"On behalf of the students and faculty at Bendorf Elementary, I am writing to express our profound gratitude for your generous donation. Thanks to your support, Mr. Moschella's class now has a new 3D printer, an invaluable tool that is revolutionizing how our students learn and create.\r\n\r\nThe 3D printer is more than just a piece of technology; it's a catalyst for creativity and problem-solving. Students are no longer just reading about concepts in a textbook; they are bringing their ideas to life in a tangible way. This hands-on experience is helping them understand difficult concepts in a way that traditional lessons could not. The excitement in the classroom is palpable as they watch their digital designs transform into physical objects.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has provided our students with the opportunity to develop critical skills for the 21st century, including design thinking, engineering, and digital literacy. You have empowered them to become active makers, not just passive consumers of information.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your commitment to our students' education.

The plushies give comfort and a sense of security, while the bright books keep students engaged and excited. One of my students, who rarely shared his feelings before, now holds his Scribble Spot plushie and points to the story when he wants to show how he feels. That kind of growth is priceless, and it's only possible because of the resources you helped provide.\r\nThank you for pouring into our kids and believing in their growth.
