The new mailboxes and storage resources have already made a huge difference in our kindergarten classroom. My students were so excited when they first saw the new setup — several of them immediately started exploring their cubbies and talking about how they finally had their own \"special spot\" for their work.\r\n\r\nWe use the new organization system every single day. The mailboxes have helped my students take ownership of their work and keep track of important papers, which is a big skill for kindergarteners. During center time, they love checking their folders, filing away their drawings, and proudly organizing the activities they've completed. It has not only brought structure to our routines, but it has also given them a sense of independence and responsibility.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom now runs more smoothly, and my students can focus more on learning and less on searching for missing materials. The next steps for us include using this system to support weekly goal-setting and end-of-day clean-up routines. Your contribution made an immediate, meaningful impact, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758236348541,"projectUrl":"project/strike-up-some-organization/9566636/","projectTitle":"Strike Up Some Organization!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crislen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4523202_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725545974761","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4523202"},{"teacherId":9974131,"projectId":9209268,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our first grade classroom! Our class is uniquely created as a \"pod\" of first graders, with two large classrooms joined and three small classrooms built off of them for small group instruction. We have up to ninety students enrolled in our class, and three teachers to support them. We have used the flexible seating provided through this project in our two large classrooms, giving students more choice in their seating and work areas. In the pictures you can see that our surf seats are kept next to the bookcase, easily accessible for students that need to use them. The rockers are kept on both sides of the board and can be used anywhere in the room. The black stools are perfect for use at the computer tables against the walls, and we use the floor cushions throughout the room at the low tables.\r\n\r\nWhen the students entered our classroom and got to explore the new seating options, they were incredibly excited. As we explained to the students that the flexible seating was meant to be used as tools to help them engage and increase their focus, they had a conversation on how each seating option could be used, what that looks like, and what it does not look like. Now students are able to use whichever seat helps them be successful in class, when they need it, and where they need it. We have students that work well at the low tables and love that they can sit on a cushion instead of a hard chair or the floor, other students sit in the rockers to support their movement and use clipboards to do their work, and others need the surf seats where they can remove themselves from the hustle and bustle and sit somewhere quieter where they can focus. The students have a sense of independence and ownership of their learning because they can choose where it is happening and are learning how they can be successful.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generosity in contributing to our flexible seating project. We have seen the benefits that it makes in our classroom and know that it will be an asset in the years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1744033061773,"projectUrl":"project/empower-students-to-take-ownership-of-le/9209268/","projectTitle":"Empower Students to Take Ownership of Learning with Smart Seats","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Snow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9974131"},{"teacherId":5693074,"projectId":9254229,"letterContent":"THANK you so much for your support in helping my students!

With headphones, my students are able to focus during computer time without the distractions of classroom noise.

It's amazing to see how much more confident they feel when they can hear clearly and work at their own pace.\r\n\r\nBeyond the academics, the headphones have also brought a sense of excitement—my kinders feel like \"big kids\" using their own set, and they take great pride in using them responsibly.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enhanced our classroom environment, and I cannot thank you enough for investing in these young learners.
