When my students walked in and saw the floor seats, cushions, beanbag chair and the set of clipboards, their faces lit up with joy. They immediately began exploring the different seating options and quickly found their favorite spots to work and read. \r\n\r\nThese materials have transformed our learning environment - students are more comfortable, focused and engaged. Whether they are sitting on a cushion to write, relaxing on the beanbag chair with a book or their iPad or using a clipboard to complete math problems they feel empowered to choose where and how they learn best.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly made our classroom more inviting and a dynamic space for learning. We're already looking forward to taking the next step in creating our dream classroom with our current project \"A Seat at the Table: Our Best Learning Space,\" which will provide new tables and chairs to complete our flexible learning environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my first graders feel excited about learning every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1752345232658,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-phenomenal-first-gr/9416364/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Phenomenal First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lundi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10057337_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y138&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750949492482","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10057337"},{"teacherId":4626045,"projectId":7350668,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting me in my teaching!

The hands-on learning materials you helped provide are now an essential part of our daily routines. From math centers using tactile tools to literacy games that strengthen phonics skills, my students are not only learning but thriving. One of the most memorable moments came during our \"Build a Word\" station—students used magnetic letters and manipulatives to sound out and construct words, proudly reading them aloud with confidence.\r\n\r\nThe day the materials arrived felt like a holiday. My students' eyes lit up as we unboxed each item. Their enthusiasm was contagious—many couldn't wait to dive in and get started. These tools have made a big difference, especially for my tactile and visual learners who now have meaningful ways to connect with content. It's clear that learning feels more like play, and students are more motivated and confident because of it.\r\n\r\nWe're currently working on a thematic unit around community helpers, where students use hands-on props and storytelling tools to role-play and write about different jobs. These interactive experiences, made possible by your donation, deepen their understanding and bring abstract ideas to life. Our next step is to incorporate these tools into small group stations that rotate throughout the week, ensuring each child gets individualized, enriching practice.

Your gift of yoga mats and mindfulness materials has opened the door to daily calm-down routines, brain breaks, and moments of reflection that are helping our students thrive—emotionally and academically.\r\n\r\nThe day the mindfulness mats arrived, the students' faces lit up with curiosity and excitement. One student whispered, \"It's like we have our own little yoga studio now!\" We began incorporating short breathing exercises and stretches every morning, and I've already seen positive shifts in behavior, focus, and classroom culture. One memorable moment happened after a particularly challenging math lesson. A student asked if we could do a \"mindful minute\" on our mats, and within a few moments, the energy in the room transformed from frustration to calm determination.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are working on a project called \"My Peaceful Place,\" where students draw or write about a space that helps them feel safe and regulated. They often use their yoga mats to lie down and reflect before creating their work—something that wouldn't have been possible without your support. Up next, we're integrating mindfulness into our literacy block with books about emotions and journaling sessions on our mats.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are learning that it's okay to pause, breathe, and take care of themselves. These are lessons that go far beyond the classroom—and will stay with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\nMs. Sturdivant","fullyFundedDate":1725562046039,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-mindfulness/8679328/","projectTitle":"Classroom Mindfulness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sturdivant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8630431_orig.jpg?crop=943,943,x0,y550&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715087546795","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8630431"},{"teacherId":9469697,"projectId":9098039,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation.

They could jump consistently 6 times. \r\n\r\nI was also able to educate my students on the importance of cardio fitness and explain to them that exercises like jumping rope can help them to play longer and harder.
