My students have been excited to use these new materials and it has been fun watching them create new things!\r\n\r\nMiddle school is challenging because the students think they are grown, but they are still kids. I always try to create an environment that feels safe and comfortable enough for them to still be a kid and not have to think about the pressures they face outside of school. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has such a lasting impact on my students because these kids are now looking forward to coming to school to engage with one another and learn in a comfortable classroom setting.","fullyFundedDate":1761144979788,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-help-my-students/9849929/","projectTitle":"Help Me, Help My Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kiernan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10307376"},{"teacherId":9989246,"projectId":9222022,"letterContent":"When I first received the items, my students were very excited. I allowed students from each of my four classes a chance to open packages and explained how I was able to order the materials. I take pride in creating a classroom that is both cozy and engaging, especially considering how much time I spend at work with my students. The various materials ordered from this project have helped my science classroom feel even more organized, fun, and exciting. \r\n\r\nBefore the materials arrived, I didn't have enough clip boards and flexible seats options for all of my students. Because of this, we had to try to work out a system where each student got a turn to use the materials. Now I have enough flexible seating options for all of my students at all times, which gives students the freedom to sit on the floor using a cushion or at a desk. \r\n\r\nThank you for making fun leaning experiences possible with your contributions.

My students have been so positively impacted by the new supplies, especially the alternative seating resources. When the students first saw the carpet and the cushions, they were so excited. Students have a long day of sitting in uncomfortable chairs, so to be able to relax on the carpet while they read in my classroom makes a big difference. \r\n\r\nThe students also love using the clipboards on the carpet or for scavenger hunts around the classroom. I used to always be asked if I had clipboards, and I never did, until you donated. I can't thank you enough. \r\n\r\nWhen my students walk into my classroom, they now see the positive aesthetic that I was striving for.

Therefore, the cushions were a favorite in my classroom! The cushions allow the students to sit on the floor and still be comfortable! \r\n\r\nI also brought out the clipboards, which are one of my favorites because the clear plastic ones won't show any pencil marks from kids! The students told me it was a smart purchase! \r\n\r\nThe timer is fun in the classroom, especially when I allow the students to set it and be in charge of turning it off.
