It is so comfortable! I didn't realize that my old chair had no lumbar support. It is great to use during meetings as I can swivel or slide and get papers/materials I need without getting up! Ha! Ha!

The fan is keeping it cooling in the room as well as circulating the air. I appreciate it. Thank you very much for your donation.

It has also allowed me to work with more students at the school and work with their individual needs. \r\n\r\nThese materials have given me the resources to provide consistent, intentional instruction in executive functioning skills that can support students not only academically, but also socially and emotionally.

Our school is a Title I school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and having a collection of engaging games available in the classroom will help ensure that all students have access to enjoyable and enriching recreational activities without requiring families to provide additional resources.\r\n\r\nIndoor recess is an important part of the school day, especially during Milwaukee's cold, snowy, or rainy weather. Games such as Don't Break the Ice, Spoons, Mancala, Guess Who?, Trouble, and Spot It! will give students opportunities to interact with their classmates in positive ways while practicing communication, cooperation, problem-solving, patience, strategic thinking, and good sportsmanship.\r\n\r\nThese games will also provide students with alternatives to screen-based entertainment and create opportunities for face-to-face interaction. Students will learn how to take turns, follow rules, handle winning and losing appropriately, resolve disagreements, and encourage their peers. These social-emotional skills are important not only during recess but also throughout the academic day.\r\n\r\nHaving these games readily available will also promote equity. In a Title I classroom, students may have different levels of access to games, toys, and recreational materials outside of school. A classroom collection ensures that every student has the opportunity to participate, regardless of their family's ability to purchase these resources.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these supplies will help make indoor recess a positive, engaging, and purposeful experience. Rather than simply being time spent inside, students will have opportunities to laugh, connect with one another, practice important life skills, and return to learning feeling refreshed and ready to engage. Your support will help create a classroom environment where students can enjoy childhood, build friendships, and develop skills that extend far beyond the game table.","fullyFundedDate":1789602418142,"projectUrl":"project/indoor-recess-fun/10634905/","projectTitle":"Indoor Recess Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McIlhone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp464412_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y194&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1604326327316","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmcilhone"},{"teacherId":464412,"projectId":10423584,"letterContent":"These classroom prizes will have a meaningful impact on my fourth-grade students by providing positive incentives that encourage effort, perseverance, kindness, and positive classroom choices. Our school is a Title I school in an urban community, and many of our students face challenges outside of the classroom that can affect their academic experience. Having a classroom prize system allows me to recognize students for their growth, effort, responsible choices, and accomplishments while creating a positive and encouraging classroom environment.\r\n\r\nThe variety of prizes—including sensory toys, stress balls, fidget items, puzzles, and fun pens—will allow students to choose rewards that are meaningful and motivating to them. The sensory items can also serve a dual purpose by providing students with appropriate tools for self-regulation, focus, and calming strategies when needed.\r\n\r\nThese prizes will be used to celebrate more than academic achievement. Students can earn recognition for demonstrating perseverance, helping classmates, showing kindness, completing challenging tasks, making positive choices, and demonstrating growth. This allows every student to have opportunities to experience success, regardless of their current academic level.\r\n\r\nFor students in a Title I classroom, small rewards can have a significant impact on motivation and classroom culture. A prize from the classroom treasure box communicates to students that their hard work and positive contributions are noticed and valued. It also helps build excitement around learning and encourages students to take ownership of their choices and goals.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these supplies will help create a classroom environment where students feel seen, celebrated, and encouraged to keep trying. The prizes provide an affordable way to recognize student accomplishments while giving students positive experiences that build confidence, motivation, and a sense of belonging. Your support will help make our classroom a place where students are encouraged to grow, persevere, and celebrate both their individual achievements and the successes of their classmates.","fullyFundedDate":1789580193334,"projectUrl":"project/prize-box-refill/10423584/","projectTitle":"Prize Box Refill","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McIlhone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp464412_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y194&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1604326327316","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmcilhone"},{"teacherId":464412,"projectId":10289967,"letterContent":"These classroom supplies will make a meaningful difference in supporting the academic, social-emotional, and instructional needs of my fourth-grade students. Our school is a Title I school, and many of our students face barriers to accessing the learning materials and resources they need to be successful. Having essential supplies available in the classroom helps create a more equitable learning environment where students can focus on learning rather than whether they have access to the materials they need.\r\n\r\nThe voice amplifiers will be especially helpful during whole-group instruction, small-group activities, classroom discussions, and transitions. They will help ensure that students can clearly hear directions and instruction, allowing them to remain engaged and better access classroom learning.\r\n\r\nWe were originally hoping to obtain a specific set of headphones to provide additional student support, but those headphones were ultimately unavailable. Rather than leave that need unmet, we were able to obtain alternative supplies that can still be used to support our students and classroom environment. These resources will help provide flexibility in meeting different student needs and allow us to create a classroom where students have access to tools that support their individual learning.\r\n\r\nAdditional classroom supplies will also reduce the need for students and families to provide materials out of pocket. This is particularly important in a Title I setting, where providing resources at school can help remove financial barriers and ensure that students have equitable opportunities to participate in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nUltimately, these supplies are more than classroom materials—they are tools that help create an accessible, supportive, and engaging learning environment. They will allow me to better meet the diverse needs of my fourth-grade students, increase student participation, and provide additional support throughout the school day. The generosity behind these supplies directly contributes to creating opportunities for students to learn, participate, and feel prepared to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1784509931743,"projectUrl":"project/can-you-hear/10289967/","projectTitle":"Can You Hear?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McIlhone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp464412_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y194&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1604326327316","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmcilhone"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37791","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":419,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":60,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":34.6,"schoolId":37791,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ninety - Fifth Street Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ninety - Fifth Street Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/ninety-fifth-street-elementary-school/37791"}
