It's more than just a place to store books—it's a gateway to imagination. Students now gather around it, eagerly selecting stories that transport them to new worlds or help them understand their own. It has sparked a renewed love for reading and created a sense of pride in our classroom library.\r\n\r\n The wobble stools have brought movement, focus, and joy to our learning environment. For students who struggle to sit still or need sensory input to concentrate, these stools have been a game-changer. They allow gentle movement while working, helping students stay engaged and comfortable. We've seen improved attention, fewer disruptions, and a boost in confidence as students feel more in control of their learning experience.\r\n\r\n The bean bag chair has quickly become a favorite spot—a place for quiet reading, reflection, or a moment of calm. It offers a soft, welcoming space that helps students feel safe and supported. Whether it's used during independent reading or as a calming corner, it has added warmth and comfort to our classroom culture.\r\n\r\n Together, these items have created a more inclusive, dynamic, and nurturing environment. Our classroom feels more like a community—one where every student has a place to learn, grow, and belong.\r\n\r\n Thank you for believing in our students and for helping us build a space where learning is joyful and accessible. Your kindness continues to ripple through our classroom every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1746785904491,"projectUrl":"project/move-and-groove-in-the-classroom/9252993/","projectTitle":"Move and Groove in the Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gyekenyesi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9526103_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y329&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744334597695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9526103"},{"teacherId":8085678,"projectId":9086175,"letterContent":"I want to take a moment to thank you for your generosity and support of my classroom project.

Because of your kindness, I was able to provide my students with a wide range of essential personal care and comfort items that have made a meaningful difference in their daily lives.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, we received personal hygiene items such as adult wet wipes, deodorants, face masks, toothbrushes, travel-size toothpaste, lip balm, and dental floss. These items have helped ensure that students feel clean, confident, and cared for throughout the school day. The travel-size lotions and storage bins have been incredibly helpful in organizing supplies, and the variety of snacks—like Welch's fruit snacks, Haribo, Frooties, cookies, and more—brought so much joy and comfort to our students.\r\n\r\nAs a school nurse, I have the unique privilege of supporting students' physical and emotional well-being, and I see firsthand how small gestures can make a big impact. Your contributions have helped meet students' basic needs, which in turn supports their ability to focus, learn, and feel a sense of dignity and belonging in our school.\r\n\r\nDue to HIPAA regulations, I am unable to share photos of the students who benefited from your generosity. However, I want to assure you that your donations were met with wide smiles, genuine gratitude. Thank you for helping me give my students a place to come to for basic needs to be covered without judgement. These supplies not only addressed practical needs but also sent a powerful message to our students—that there are people out there who care about them, even if they've never met. <3\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of this project and for making a tangible difference in the lives of my students.

You have helped create a cleaner, warmer, and more supportive environment where students can better focus on their learning. Your contribution has not only supported their health but has also shown them that there are people in the world who care deeply about their success and well-being.
