If I see a student struggling to sit still, I will suggest a seating option that I think will benefit them during the lesson.","fullyFundedDate":1787058473574,"projectUrl":"project/circle-time-flexible-seating/10466908/","projectTitle":"Circle Time Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McIntyre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9212097_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728680306524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kmcintyre"},{"teacherId":9212097,"projectId":10466968,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my board books projects. Board books help make reading more accessible to my students. They can stand up to repeated handling and bending. They are easier for my students to hold and turn the pages since many of them are still developing their fine motor skills. They also tend to have simpler language which makes them easier for my students to understand.\r\n\r\nGiving my students access to board books will allow all adults and students in my classroom the opportunity to connect over looking at these books together.\r\nIt will allow the adults the opportunity to model language for our non-verbal students while also providing opportunities for our verbal students to practice turn taking, pointing, requesting, labeling, and commenting.","fullyFundedDate":1787763136613,"projectUrl":"project/board-books/10466968/","projectTitle":"Board Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McIntyre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9212097_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728680306524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kmcintyre"},{"teacherId":9286553,"projectId":9762798,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your support—these new resources have already made a big difference in my classroom. My students are using them every day during our reading and writing time. One moment that really stood out was during a small group activity where students used the materials to practice vocabulary and build sentences. I saw students who usually hesitate to participate become more confident and excited to share their ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were honestly so excited. They immediately wanted to explore everything and started asking questions and engaging with the activities right away. It made learning feel more fun and meaningful for them.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are continuing to use these resources to support our reading comprehension and writing skills. Our next step is to have students use what they've learned to complete a short writing project where they apply new vocabulary and express their ideas more clearly. I'm excited to see their growth as they become more confident readers and writers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1769177845564,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-that-stick-sketch-and-sharpen/9762798/","projectTitle":"Supplies That Stick, Sketch, and Sharpen Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Said","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9286553"},{"teacherId":9605076,"projectId":9398861,"letterContent":"The students of Room 203 at Washington Community School in Bayonne New Jersey are LOVING their cozy corner!
