Because of your support, my third-grade students now have access to a variety of new seating options that make our learning environment more comfortable, engaging, and inclusive. The excitement on their faces when the new seats arrived was priceless — they couldn't wait to try them out, and they quickly found favorites that help them focus and feel at ease during the school day.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a real difference. Flexible seating not only supports different learning styles but also empowers students to make choices about how they learn best. It's been amazing to see how something as simple as a new seat can positively impact a child's ability to concentrate and feel at home in the classroom. From all of us — thank you for believing in our students and investing in their success!","fullyFundedDate":1747836575456,"projectUrl":"project/more-students-more-seating/9315221/","projectTitle":"More Students = More Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp202904_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566969500671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/202904"},{"teacherId":202904,"projectId":8935314,"letterContent":"Talk about brightening up a cloudy day; that's what all of you have done for the students in Room 205. The day our cloud materials arrived it was a gloomy day outside, but there was nothing but smiles and excitement inside. The students couldn't wait to explore our new materials.\r\nBecause of your donation we were able to have a week of climate and weather learning stations. During this activity students had an opportunity to use a rain gauge and wind vane to determine weather patterns across season. They learned how data tables give us a snapshot of information collected and how we can use that information to make predictions and engineer solutions. \r\nThe students favorite part of the materials by far was the hands on engineering labs. They had to problem solve water and wind hazards using a variety of materials including clay, always a kid favorite! \r\nI can't tell you how much I appreciate your contributions to enhance our understanding.
