My students love their aprons that they get to wear every Friday while they deliver popcorn to staff. It helps keep their clothes clean and also looking like a team. \r\nThe bins help hold all of the popcorn that we need to deliver. The sides are a perfect height because the bags are easy to load on the cart and take off the cart when the students need to deliver the bags. \r\nThe vacuum works like a charm and the students love the clean up job. They love being able to clean up the floor from all the scraps of popcorn. \r\nThe label stickers are a great fine motor activity that help my students close the popcorn bags. \r\nThese items will continue to help my students complete their Friday Popcorn jobs which teach them social skills, math skills, and team work skills.","fullyFundedDate":1758737686984,"projectUrl":"project/poppin-into-math-and-life-skills/9707945/","projectTitle":"Poppin' Into Math and Life Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buyeske","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5578760_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535592829610","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-buyeske"},{"teacherId":6559135,"projectId":9282349,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing the Tools for Our Heart to Heart emotional awareness books. These texts have become a powerful part of our classroom culture, helping students learn essential social-emotional skills like empathy, kindness, confidence, love, sadness, and anger. Through characters like Little Spot, our students are learning how to name their feelings, recognize emotions in others, and talk about what they need in ways that build connection and understanding. These books don't just teach emotions—they model how to navigate them with care and courage.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active, joyful experience. When we explore these books, we pair them with hands-on crafts, role-play, and collaborative projects that help students internalize the lessons. Whether it's creating a \"Little Spot of Kindness\" collage or acting out scenarios that show empathy, our students are engaged and excited to learn. One of the most meaningful outcomes has been watching students grow in their ability to express themselves clearly and calmly. Instead of reacting with frustration, they're learning to use their words to solve problems and ask for help. Several students who previously struggled with emotional regulation are now proudly using phrases like \"I'm feeling red spot, I feel frustrated, and I need a break\"—a huge step forward in self-awareness and communication.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly made a difference. These books are more than stories—they're bridges to emotional growth, peer connection, and lifelong skills. Thank you for helping our students feel seen, heard, and empowered.","fullyFundedDate":1748011491745,"projectUrl":"project/heart-to-heart-tools-for-emotional-awar/9282349/","projectTitle":"Heart to Heart: Tools for Emotional Awareness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Van Hefty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6559135_orig.jpg?crop=2084,2084,x0,y263&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732225618584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6559135"},{"teacherId":6559135,"projectId":9126142,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing earbuds for our classroom. Your donation has made a meaningful difference for students who didn't have access to headphones from home. Now, every child can engage with online learning tools and special education programs in the privacy of their own listening space—without distractions or limitations. These earbuds have become a daily tool for success, helping students stay focused, complete tasks efficiently, and even enjoy calming music during work time to regulate emotions and stay on track.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming moments was seeing a student's face light up when he received his very own pair. At the start of the year, he had no headphones and had to either keep his volume low or move to a separate space so others could learn. He was so proud to finally have a set just like his peers, and it gave him a sense of belonging and confidence. The students love how easy the earbuds are to pack up and how reliable they are each day—no one has to miss out anymore. Your kindness has created equity, joy, and access in our classroom, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1748375079552,"projectUrl":"project/assistive-technology-supports-for-childr/9126142/","projectTitle":"Assistive Technology Supports for Children With Special Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Van Hefty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6559135_orig.jpg?crop=2084,2084,x0,y263&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732225618584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6559135"},{"teacherId":7075792,"projectId":9130587,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our sensory room!

This room has quickly become a safe haven, a place where students can reset, self-regulate, and return to their classrooms ready to learn and engage.\r\n\r\nThe calming area has given many of our students a peaceful space to decompress when they feel overwhelmed. The ball pit and sensory table have sparked joy, curiosity, and creativity while helping students strengthen fine motor skills and sensory processing. Perhaps one of the most beloved features is the sensory swing, which has become a favorite tool for helping students feel grounded and calm during challenging moments.\r\n\r\nWe've seen firsthand how this space is changing lives. Students who once struggled with transitions or managing emotions now have the support they need to succeed throughout the school day. One teacher shared that a student who previously had frequent meltdowns now uses the sensory room to independently calm down and return to class with a smile. These are the real, tangible outcomes your generosity has made possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and in the power of accessible, inclusive spaces.
