The students could hardly wait to open the boxes and explore everything inside. The hammock chair stands, Big Joe bean bag, fidget toys, and squishy balls instantly brought smiles and curiosity to their faces.\r\n\r\nOne of the best moments was watching the students work together to build the hammock chairs. They took turns holding pieces, helping one another, and cheering as each chair was finished. What started as setting up our new items quickly turned into a wonderful team activity full of laughter, cooperation, and pride in their accomplishment.\r\n\r\nNow, our calming area has become one of the most loved parts of the classroom. The hammock chairs and bean bag provide a cozy place to relax, while the fidget toys and squishy balls offer calming sensory input that helps students stay focused and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create not only a calm and comforting space, but also a special experience that brought our students closer together.","fullyFundedDate":1754679629143,"projectUrl":"project/dr-ds-discovery-den/9528119/","projectTitle":"Dr. D's Discovery Den","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Montano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10108446_orig.jpg?crop=1216,1216,x0,y218&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754270486730","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10108446"},{"teacherId":9087472,"projectId":9008839,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! Because of your donation, my students received binders that made a significant difference in their daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nThese binders became an essential tool for organizing classwork, homework, and notes. Students used them not only to keep their materials in order, but also to track their progress and reflect on their learning. As we prepared for our state tests, the binders allowed students to easily review past lessons and study more effectively. Many of them shared how helpful it was to have everything in one place — it boosted their confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nWhat made these binders even more powerful was their versatility. We used them across dual subjects, integrating notes, vocabulary, and assignments from both classes, which helped students make stronger connections between topics. Your support gave my students a resource they used every single day — and it truly made an impact.\r\n\r\nFrom my students and me, thank you again for believing in our classroom.
