Instead of being confined to traditional, rigid desks for hours at a time, students can now select a workspace that best fits their physical and learning needs for each activity. Students who used to fidget or lose focus are now deeply locked into their work because they are physically comfortable. Choosing their own learning spot teaches students self-regulation and accountability. They take pride in finding a space where they can do their best work.","fullyFundedDate":1764699987412,"projectUrl":"project/sit-with-me/9852336/","projectTitle":"Sit With Me!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Casanova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp639263_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725980846454","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/casanova"},{"teacherId":639263,"projectId":9362501,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous gift of Fourth Grade Rats by Jerry Spinelli for our classroom.

We are having great conversations as we look at peer pressure to discover the author's underlying message about being true to yourself.

Your support has made a tremendous impact on my middle school students' learning and future aspirations.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the drones, my students have been fully engaged in hands-on STEM exploration. They've learned critical skills in robotics, programming, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning—all while having genuine fun. The drones have transformed our classroom into a dynamic learning environment where students who might not typically excel in traditional settings are discovering their talents and building confidence.\r\n\r\nBeyond the technical skills, this project has fostered collaboration and teamwork. Students are working together to troubleshoot challenges, share discoveries, and support one another's learning. Several students have already expressed interest in pursuing careers in engineering and technology—fields they might never have considered before.\r\n\r\nYour investment in these young minds will have ripple effects far beyond this school year. You've given these students the tools and inspiration to dream bigger and reach higher.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and making this project possible.

Many shared that they had seen similar designs in art class before but never knew their deep cultural significance.\r\n\r\nWith your support, students are now creating their own textile-inspired pieces, small manta bags, pom‑poms, and Andean cords, while learning about the traditions behind them. Their curiosity and engagement have grown with every step.

By having these items available to them, they are able to have one thing less to worry about and give their full attention to learning and being middle school students. The respect they have for the items donated is incredible; they use only what they need, clean up after themselves, and always ask if they can \"get ready for the day\".
