Your kindness has made such a meaningful difference in my classroom, especially for my students with special needs. When the new seating arrived, the excitement was contagious — the students' faces lit up with smiles as soon as they walked through the door and saw the colorful new chairs. They immediately began exploring each option, chatting about which one of they wool try it first. It was heartwarming to see how something as simple as new seating could spark so much joy and motivation to learn.\r\n\r\nAs soon as we began using the new seating, I noticed positive changes right away. The students were all eager to rotate through their small group stations just so they could experience the new seats. For many of them, this excitement carried over into their work — they were more focused, more cooperative, and proud to show how much they could accomplish. Students who previously struggled to stay on task or needed frequent movement breaks were now able to remain engaged for longer periods, choosing the type of seat that helped them feel comfortable and calm. The flexible seating has truly allowed my students to take more ownership of their learning environment and their success.\r\n\r\nThis project has transformed our classroom into a more inclusive, engaging, and supportive space for every child. The new seating has not only improved focus and independence but also created a sense of belonging and excitement about learning. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping make this dream a reality. Your generosity has had a lasting impact — one that we will continue to feel every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1761171206920,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9728472/","projectTitle":"Flexible, Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mejia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8021484"},{"teacherId":2789149,"projectId":9394388,"letterContent":"🌺 Mahalo for Making Our End-of-Year Luau Unforgettable!\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our 4th graders ended the year with an incredible celebration of learning and culture! When the supplies arrived, the excitement was immediate—students couldn't wait to dive into our \"Aloha Adventure.\" We transformed our classroom into a tropical paradise, complete with Hawaiian decorations, traditional music, and delicious island-inspired foods.\r\n\r\nAs part of our luau, students explored the geography, traditions, and language of Hawaii. They crafted colorful Play-Doh surfboards, learned basic hula movements, and even tried tropical fruits while discussing how culture and environment shape people's lives. One of my favorite moments was seeing their joy as they performed the hula together—completely immersed in the rhythm and spirit of aloha.\r\n\r\nThis project not only celebrated the end of the school year but also brought our social studies, art, and SEL learning to life in a joyful, hands-on way. Our next step is to have students reflect on their year of growth by writing postcards from \"Hawaii,\" sharing what they've learned and how they've grown as classmates and friends.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us close the year with such meaning and joy. You gave our students a celebration they'll never forget—and reminded them that learning can be both educational and magical. 🌴💜","fullyFundedDate":1749160643864,"projectUrl":"project/luau-for-marvelous-mathematicians/9394388/","projectTitle":"Luau for Marvelous Mathematicians","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. M.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2789149_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565359036421","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kmacps325"},{"teacherId":2789149,"projectId":9312456,"letterContent":"When our new math resources arrived, the excitement in the room was contagious!

During small-group rotations, students use adaptive programs like i-Ready and Savvas Realize to practice skills at their own pace. This technology helps me meet each student where they are—providing real-time feedback and extra challenges for those ready to move ahead.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most:\r\nThey love being able to take ownership of their learning. Many have said that the instant feedback from digital lessons \"feels like having a teacher inside the screen.\" They also enjoy using creative tools to present what they've learned—turning research projects into slideshows, voice-overs, and short videos that showcase their ideas.\r\n\r\nStudents who have especially connected with it:\r\nOne student who was once hesitant to participate now volunteers eagerly during math lessons because she can practice skills first on her device and build confidence before sharing aloud. Another student who loves technology has taken on the role of our \"class tech helper,\" supporting classmates with troubleshooting and modeling digital citizenship.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our students are more engaged, confident, and curious than ever.
