Your gift created countless moments of excitement, curiosity, and connection over stories.

My fellow teachers, as well as the students, were very surprised to receive the wired mouse set for their classroom. \r\n\r\nThe students were so excited about having a mouse to use. They wanted to help unpack the boxes and organized them right away! My class uses a over the door shoe pocket organizer to keep our mice safe. We have labeled it \"The Mouse House.\" Using Chromebooks with the track pad can be challenging for young students. Having these mice available has made it so much easier for so many students. \r\n\r\nWe recently completed the required state testing. There are a lot of drop down menus and drag and drop options in this testing. Having a mouse available made it so much easier for them to complete the required testing. This was our grade levels first experience with standardized state testing and we were happy to reduce the stress, by having a mouse to make it easier. \r\n\r\nThank you for being willing to donate to a cause that impacted so many students. we will continue to appreciate the mice for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1740197403372,"projectUrl":"project/clicking-and-scrolling-stars/9119963/","projectTitle":"Clicking and Scrolling Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Waits","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8112348_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683163806103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8112348"},{"teacherId":5361065,"projectId":8485250,"letterContent":"Thank you for adding to my library.

When I first introduced the different seating choices, their eyes lit up so much. On their own, they really have set up a good way of allowing each student to get the opportunity to use different choices so no one is left out.\r\n\r\nFor my sensory kiddos, these have really given them the chance to complete class work in a chair that doesn't distract other students when being rocked in. They are able to choose a flexible seat of their choice and continue on with their work. \r\n\r\nFor all students, it can be really hard and frustrating when they are required to sit for long periods of time, especially in a plastic chair. These new seat choices have really allowed my students the opportunity to be more comfortable in their classroom. When students are comfortable in their environment, they really have more success.","fullyFundedDate":1731968010943,"projectUrl":"project/relieving-the-anxiety-and-calming-the-bo/8950614/","projectTitle":"Relieving the Anxiety and Calming the Body","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Walter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9841460_orig.jpg?crop=296,296,x0,y244&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731943688024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9841460"},{"teacherId":9479943,"projectId":8944406,"letterContent":"On behalf of everyone at Fuentes Backpack Buddies, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generosity and support.
