You are helping create a classroom where my fifth graders can settle in, feel cared for, and have what they need to focus on learning.In a Title I classroom, something as simple as a snack can make an enormous difference. It is hard to concentrate on organizing your thoughts, finding the perfect word, or writing a great paragraph when your stomach is growling. Having snacks available allows me to quietly meet that need and help a child get back to being a learner.The supplies you provided will give my students the tools they need to write, revise, create, and proudly share their ideas. The snacks will give them a little extra fuel on the days when they need it most. And together, those things send my students an important message:\r\nYou matter. Your ideas matter. And you have what you need to succeed here.\r\nThank you for investing in my young writers and for helping me create a classroom where children are cared for as people first and students second.\r\nWe are incredibly grateful to have you cheering us on.","fullyFundedDate":1787139695378,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-writers-snacks-supplies/10463062/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Writers: Snacks, Supplies & Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5376083_orig.jpg?crop=1193,1193,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572931492357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5376083"},{"teacherId":5376083,"projectId":10307466,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom through Small Supplies, Big Impact for Our Title I Classroom.\r\nIt is easy to look at pencils, paper, markers, folders, and other everyday classroom supplies as little things—but in our classroom, they truly make a big difference.

My students love to read or listen to stories as part of the counseling lessons, including during individual and small group settings. Stories can show different skills and problem-solving techniques that children can then practice implementing. They can relate the stories to themselves and then role-play their own experiences. This is a great support for their social/emotional development.\r\n\r\nThe fidgets, such as the sensory tubes, support students in calming their emotions when talking about a challenging situation. Students also learn how their emotions and other's emotions look when using the emotion mats or the felt faces.

When the students first walked in and saw the new chairs, they were immediately excited—big smiles, a little bouncing, and lots of comments about how much they love the color! It didn't take long for them to understand that these chairs help them get their wiggles out while still staying focused. During lessons, I've already noticed that students who typically struggle to sit still are more engaged and able to participate for longer periods.\r\n\r\nWe're using these chairs all throughout the day, and they've made a big difference in helping students stay in their own space during lessons while also keeping all four feet of the chairs safely on the floor. The built-in movement gives them an outlet without disrupting learning, creating a calmer, more focused classroom environment. Next, we're continuing to build on this by increasing stamina during longer activities and helping students become more aware of how movement supports their learning.
