Your kindness has helped create a more welcoming, comfortable, and engaging learning environment for my students.\r\nWhen my students first saw the new flexible seating materials, they were immediately excited and curious. Their faces lit up as they explored the different seating options and talked about which ones they wanted to try. For many of my students, especially those who are learning English, having a comfortable and inviting space can make a big difference in how confident and focused they feel in the classroom. They were so excited to know that they would have choices in how and where they work.\r\nWe are using the flexible seating primarily during independent work time. Students are learning that flexible seating is not simply about getting to sit somewhere different—it is about making responsible choices that help them learn. They are beginning to think about which seating option helps them stay focused, complete their work, and feel comfortable while working independently.\r\nOur next steps are to establish routines and expectations for using the flexible seating arrangement. Students will have opportunities to try different seating options and reflect on which choices work best for them. We will also work together to create classroom expectations for sharing materials, taking care of the seating, maintaining appropriate noise levels, and staying focused during independent work.\r\nI am especially excited about how this opportunity will encourage my students to become more independent and responsible learners. By giving them appropriate choices within the classroom, I hope to help them develop self-awareness, confidence, and the ability to recognize what they need to be successful.\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping make our ENL classroom a more supportive and student-centered place to learn. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in our classroom, and my students are already enjoying the benefits of having a learning space designed with their needs in mind.","fullyFundedDate":1787198292851,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-environment-for-ell-students/10439855/","projectTitle":"Engaging Environment for ELL Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Finelli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6618577_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565381867633","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6618577"},{"teacherId":8928420,"projectId":10072928,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom!

From bright and engaging reading passages to colorful math activities and science diagrams, my students are better able to understand and connect with what they are learning. The colors help them focus, organize their thinking, and stay excited about each lesson.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is now a more engaging, joyful, and inspiring place to learn.

Students are able to explore number concepts, build problem-solving skills, and deepen their understanding through active learning rather than worksheets alone. I've seen increased confidence as students physically model their thinking and explain their strategies.\r\n\r\nThe phonics tools have also had a powerful impact on our ELA instruction. Students are more engaged as they practice letter sounds, word building, and early reading skills using interactive materials. These tools support different learning styles and help make abstract concepts more concrete, especially for students who benefit from hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, learning is more engaging, accessible, and joyful for my students every day. Your generosity has provided resources that will be used throughout the school year and for years to come.

I have been able to access so many different interactive resources to help my students grasp new concepts in fun ways. \r\nTheir favorite activity so far has been the phonemic yoga activities. They have a lot of fun stretching and moving to identify correct words or letter sounds. Another fan favorite are the jeopardy reading skill games. They have fun practicing their reading skill within a competition game.
