Your donation truly makes a difference for my students each and every day.\r\n\r\nMy students are curious, excited learners who love coming to school and trying new things. They do best when they can move around, explore, and use hands-on materials—and thanks to you, they have more opportunities to do just that.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating pillows have been a big hit! Students love having a choice in where they sit, and it helps them stay comfortable, focused, and ready to learn. It's also been great for encouraging collaboration and helping students regulate their energy throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe math manipulatives are making learning come to life. Being able to see and physically work through problems is helping students better understand concepts and build confidence in their math skills.\r\n\r\nWe're also using incentives to encourage effort, persistence, and responsibility. It's been so rewarding to see students stay motivated, celebrate their progress, and take pride in their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for helping create a classroom where students feel happy, supported, and excited to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1768156113054,"projectUrl":"project/math-tools-cozy-seats-motivation-trea/9998512/","projectTitle":"Math Tools, Cozy Seats & Motivation Treats","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Esquer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8580931_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x256,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659923198475","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8580931"},{"teacherId":6123705,"projectId":10001985,"letterContent":"My students were surprised and excited when I received the donated books because they did not know they were coming. Because of your kindness, my students now have access to new books that they were truly excited to read.\r\n\r\nThe donated One Piece books have quickly become the most popular in our classroom. These texts have helped introduce and strengthen important reading skills such as comprehension, sequencing events, making predictions, identifying character traits, and using context clues to understand new vocabulary. Students are also building stamina and confidence as they read longer texts and follow storylines across multiple books.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is active, engaging, and full of excitement. It has been amazing to watch students eagerly pick up these books, discuss their favorite characters and moments, and recommend them to classmates. Many students even wait excitedly for their classmates to finish a book so they can trade books or begin reading the next one in the series. The excitement these books have created has made reading feel fun and meaningful for many students.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially connected with these books. Some students who were hesitant readers are now eager to read each day because they found a series they truly enjoy. In fact, some students have already read nearly two out of the four donated sets because they were so motivated to keep reading. Seeing students so engaged and excited about books has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a real difference in helping students develop a love for reading while strengthening important literacy skills.

Throughout the year, my students have been able to easily access their learning materials with the help of your generosity. My students are able to quickly get their materials for the needed subjects. Students have also been enjoying the classroom stools that we use for our small group table. It helps everyone have enough space and it is easy to stack up at the end of the day. \r\nIn addition, my students have been enjoying the many incentives that are offered. The many prizes have helped my students stay motivated and engaged throughout the day. They get very excited choosing from the countless prizes such as smelly stickers and pencil toppers.

Your generosity has already made a lasting impact on our classroom environment. The flexible seating options, including the bean bag chairs and floor seats, have become some of the most loved spots in our room. Students eagerly choose these spaces during independent reading, partner reading, and writing time. It has been amazing to watch students settle in comfortably with their books, remain focused longer, and truly enjoy learning in a space that feels warm and welcoming. These seating choices have also helped students learn responsibility, cooperation, and how to make choices that best support their learning.\r\n\r\nThe STEAM materials have brought excitement, creativity, and teamwork into our daily routines. When the students first saw the magnetic tiles, Lincoln Logs, marble runs, and balancing game, the room filled with smiles, cheers, and so much excitement. They could not wait to begin building and exploring. One memorable moment was watching a group of students work together to design a tall tower using the marble run. When it toppled over, they did not give up. Instead, they discussed what went wrong, adjusted their plan, and rebuilt an even stronger structure. It was a wonderful example of perseverance, communication, and problem-solving in action.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will remain an important part of our classroom learning. Students will use the flexible seating during reading and writing workshops to stay engaged and comfortable. The STEAM tools will support science lessons, math challenges, cooperative learning tasks, and enrichment activities that encourage creativity and critical thinking. Because of your kindness, my students have access to meaningful opportunities that inspire confidence, curiosity, and joy each day. Thank you again for believing in my students and helping create a classroom where they can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1768704131089,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corners-creative-minds-flexible/10021741/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corners & Creative Minds: Flexible Seating and STEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. P","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9367158"},{"teacherId":9557480,"projectId":10005914,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous donation!

It has made them more excited to continue learning and participating throughout lessons. With the help of the bins, my students are able to enjoy sitting in the organized library during their centers and having a selection of books to choose from. It has made finding their favorite books a lot easier! The pencil pouches and other organizational items have helped maintain an organized system in the classroom for materials.

They were excited to see what was in the boxes and happy to know it was for them to use. \r\n\r\nThe students have enjoyed being able to use the crayons and markers to enhance and beautify their projects. They were definitely tired of the broken crayons I had. The students used the crayons and markers on their Nevada State reports, as well as making cards for Assistant Principals' Week and other projects/recognition to thank various stakeholders in our community. \r\n\r\nThey have also enjoyed using the cushions. They were excited to see the colors. My co-teacher had some, so now we can use similar motivations. Students can get a cushion based on Dojo points as a reward. It makes their school chairs more comfortable, but it also gives them flexibility in seating around the room. They especially like using them during reading independently in the small library, or working in a circle on the floor in group work. \r\n\r\nThe little stool is often used at the kidney table during RTI. One student each day gets to use it. I hope to eventually get 5 more to all use around the able. \r\n\r\nThe colored containers are used to store our headphones right now for testing, but will be used as book buckets next year. \r\n\r\nThe secondary external screen helps me make sure students are on task during RTI, but also allows me to project things for my small groups at the kidney table, helping with small group instruction. \r\n\r\nI am thinking of how to better use the materials for next year.

The children are using the dollhouse and school bus as tools for social play and to \"pretend\" to go to school.\r\nOur new loom is also a popular choice.
