We are truly grateful for your support, and I wanted to share how much of a positive impact it has already made.\r\n\r\nThe fish tank has become a calming and peaceful focal point in our room. Watching the fish has a soothing effect on students, especially during transitions or when they need a quiet moment to refocus. It has helped create a more relaxed and mindful classroom environment, which has supported better behavior and emotional regulation throughout the day.\r\n\r\nIn addition to its calming presence, the fish tank has given students a new sense of responsibility and pride. They help with feeding, monitoring the water levels, and making sure the tank stays clean. It's been a wonderful way to teach care, empathy, and teamwork—and they love being involved in taking care of our new classroom \"pets.\"","fullyFundedDate":1716472411282,"projectUrl":"project/magic-is-contained-in-water/8337109/","projectTitle":"\"Magic is contained in Water\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. King","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8490649_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x141,y134&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660874437007","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kali-king"},{"teacherId":8490649,"projectId":8315911,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation toward flexible seating in our 3rd grade classroom.

These choices have not only increased student engagement and focus, but they have also helped improve classroom behavior and foster a greater sense of responsibility and independence.\r\n\r\nI've seen quieter students gain confidence as they find comfortable spaces to do their best thinking, and more active students channel their energy in ways that help them stay on task. The flexibility has helped meet the unique needs of each child, creating an environment that is both supportive and empowering.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and in the potential of every student.
