These additions have had a bigger impact than you might imagine. The chair bands have been especially helpful for students who need movement to stay focused—now they can quietly release energy without feeling distracted or disruptive. I've noticed students settling into their work more easily and staying engaged for longer periods of time.\r\n\r\nThe new rug transformed our library corner into a warm, inviting space. Students naturally gravitate toward it during reading time, and it has quickly become the heart of our room. Many of them now choose to spend free moments curled up with a book, something that wasn't happening nearly as often before.\r\n\r\nYour support brought comfort, focus, and joy into our classroom. You helped create an environment where students can move, breathe, and learn in ways that feel good to them. We are truly grateful that you chose to invest in our school and in our students' daily experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1757824778819,"projectUrl":"project/where-shall-our-feet-go/9702759/","projectTitle":"Where Shall Our Feet Go?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Murphy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8855123"},{"teacherId":1076442,"projectId":9182168,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, out students are experiencing the joy of creativity like never before!

But with your support and generosity I am able to give those students what they need to be successful in class. We do a lot of work on the iPads in second grade and being able to have headphones for all my students is wonderful. Sometimes they need to listen to books they are reading to be successful on tests, other times they need headphones to listen to instructions or follow a lesson. When they use headphones they are able to not only stay focused on their work but others can do their work without distractions. \r\nThe chair sacks are a great way for my students to stay organized and keep their materials handy. While they do have desks they still need a little extra space to keep those materials or books we use everyday! \r\nMy students loved seeing their chair sacks and headphones and they are doing great taking care of them. The little containers I put the headphones in work great for keeping them in good condition and not tangled.

I enjoyed the laugher and conversations about their favorite book. I especially enjoyed hearing, \"Mrs. Roberts, this chapter book is pretty good. I think I will read the next one.\" My students fell in love with reading and that was the best part of this year!

They struggle with trying to find their pencil when it's time to complete an assignment. \r\nRocking It with a Pocket helped my students tremendously! They were able to organize their supplies and so much easier. They were able to store their pencil boxes, folders, and notebooks inside their pockets.
