Your kindness and support have truly made a meaningful difference for my students and me.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating has been an absolute hit; my students raved about it the entire first day they were able to use it, and they now ask to use it every single day. It helps them focus and gives them a sense of autonomy over their learning environment. I know this seating will have a long-lasting impact in my classroom for years to come.\r\n\r\nThe markers and bingo dabbers have also been incredibly well loved. They give students opportunities to express their creativity, and this group is full of amazing artists. Being able to incorporate these tools into our lessons has made learning more fun and engaging.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the sticky notes have been a game changer for lesson planning. They help me stay organized and on top of daily plans, which is especially helpful as a first-year teacher.\r\n\r\nAs a new teacher, I don't always have the opportunity to provide experiences like this for my students. Because of your generosity, I am able to go above and beyond to create the best possible learning environment for my class. Thank you for believing in our students and supporting our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764618628432,"projectUrl":"project/my-seating-is-flexible-my-classroom-man/9614204/","projectTitle":"My Seating is flexible, My Classroom Management Isn't!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Weber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10183662_orig.png?crop=100,100,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1766081566531","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10183662"},{"teacherId":8479991,"projectId":9471435,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my classroom project.

It has made it easy to change out the subjects and helps the students learn what is next in our schedule. It also adds functional decoration in my classroom.

I use the Clorox Wipes every day to clean the students' tables to keep germs away and leaves our classroom smelling fresh.
