Our students were so excited to see something new that they could use every day. Their enthusiasm and smiles made it clear just how much this special addition meant to them. It is wonderful to see how something as simple as a new rug can bring so much happiness and excitement to our classroom!\r\n\r\nOur students especially love the fixed circles on the rug. Each child can find their own special spot and feel a sense of comfort and belonging. One of the sweetest things is knowing that \"their\" circle stays right where it belongs! Having a consistent, designated space helps our students feel secure, know what to expect, and participate more comfortably during our daily classroom activities. The rug has quickly become an important part of our everyday routine.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a meaningful difference in our classroom. This rug is more than just a place to sit; it is a space where our students learn, grow, build independence, and create special memories together. We are truly grateful for your kindness and for investing in our students' comfort and success.

The excitement on our students' faces as they opened those big boxes was absolutely priceless. Their joy and curiosity made it such a special moment, and we knew these new additions would bring so much happiness to our classroom. Your generosity has made a real difference, and we are so grateful that you chose to support our students!\r\n\r\nOne of our students' favorite moments is when they know it's time to bring out the bean bags for cool-down time. They get so excited! Having a cozy, comfortable place to relax helps our students feel safe, calm, and ready to take on the rest of their day. The flexible seating also gives them more choices during small-group instruction, allowing them to sit in ways that feel comfortable and work best for their individual needs. These simple options can make a big difference in helping our students feel confident and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us create a classroom where every child feels supported, valued, and comfortable. We believe that **the more comfortable our students are, the better they can focus, participate, and learn.** Your kindness has provided more than just bean bags and flexible seating; you have given our students additional opportunities to succeed, grow, and enjoy their learning experiences.

Because of your kindness and willingness to invest in education, my project has become a reality. Your donations provided essential items including tissues, books, storage bins, sensory toys, and fidget spinners—resources that make a meaningful difference in my students' daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe tissues from the project may seem like a small item, but in a busy classroom they are used every single day. Having a steady supply helps keep our students comfortable and healthy, especially during cold and allergy seasons. It also ensures that students can focus on learning without worrying about basic needs.\r\n\r\nThe books purchased are already sparking excitement and curiosity among my students. Reading opens doors to imagination, knowledge, and new perspectives. With these new titles available, students have more opportunities to explore stories, practice literacy skills, and develop a lifelong love of reading. Watching them eagerly pick up a book and share their thoughts with classmates is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.\r\n\r\nThe storage bins have helped us organize our classroom materials in a way that makes learning smoother and more accessible. A well-organized classroom allows students to take responsibility for materials and helps them transition more easily between activities. The bins make it simple for students to find what they need and return items when they are finished.\r\n\r\nThe sensory toys and fidget spinners are especially valuable tools for many of my students. These items help support focus, self-regulation, and calmness during lessons and independent work time. Some students learn best when they can move or keep their hands busy, and these tools allow them to channel that energy in a positive way while staying engaged with learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity does more than supply materials—it shows students that there are people beyond our classroom who care deeply about their success. Knowing that others believe in them helps build confidence and motivation. It reminds them that their education matters and that they are supported by a community of people who want to see them thrive.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in our classroom and helping us create a supportive, engaging learning environment. Your contribution will impact my students not just today, but throughout the school year as they read, learn, grow, and develop new skills.\r\n\r\nI am truly thankful for your generosity and for making a difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1771023885072,"projectUrl":"project/books-to-read-fidgets-to-focus-and-bin/9934247/","projectTitle":"Books to Read, Fidgets to Focus, and Bins to Organize","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Correa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8492165_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1654655539810","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8492165"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34827","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":451,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":66.1,"schoolId":34827,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about L.F.
