The bean bag is well loved and used daily, if not hourly. It has helped students relax and self-regulate when things get a little loud or if the task is a little too tricky to complete. With the reusable ice cubes, we have made little ice packs for slips and falls on the playground, which helps my students feel cared for and seen. \r\n\r\nThank you for donating to this project and giving my students some fun snacks and juice during the summer heat. It really helped them cool off after recess by sitting and drinking a cold Capri Sun. They also loved the light-up spikey balls, and the Lysol wipes were very helpful in cleaning our desks before and after lunchtime. They were also used to help keep the surfaces in our classroom bathroom clean and sanitary. \r\n\r\nThank you so much; please don't be afraid to support other classrooms through DonorsChoose; the impact and greater and more helpful than can be explained.","fullyFundedDate":1775575368244,"projectUrl":"project/the-final-push/10180147/","projectTitle":"The Final Push","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Robert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8299387_orig.jpg?crop=3710,3710,x0,y358&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1788453433871","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8299387"},{"teacherId":7666364,"projectId":10494378,"letterContent":"Thank you for your kind donations!

The slim design is great for moving around the crowded classroom and allows us to sit on level with students to work in any part of the room.
