Thanks to you, our flexible seating choices are well organized with the new storage unit. Each item has its place. My students are able to grab what they need and put it away with ease thanks to the new storage unit. \r\nMy students are also finding the flashlights a fun way to read their books. They were so excited to see the flashlights. They mentioned that their teacher last year had flashlight reading and were looking forward to that in our classroom. When we had our flashlight reading day, they really enjoyed having that experience. \r\nNext steps are to get the rest of the classroom organized. Little by little, I am working towards making my room a safe, organized, and equitable learning environment for all students. \r\nMy students and I really appreciate the generosity of you, the donors. Without you, our classroom would not be the same. Thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1756249856047,"projectUrl":"project/growing-young-minds-everyday/9594661/","projectTitle":"Growing Young Minds Everyday","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Karns","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9678836"},{"teacherId":4179936,"projectId":9344247,"letterContent":"My students have been using the chair pockets daily in my classroom. The pockets help keep my students organized and our classroom clean. We keep our crayon boxes in our chair pocket so the students have more room to work at the table. When they need something they only need to reach behind them to get something out of the chair pocket and put it right back in. \r\nWe do morning coloring in my classroom as a soft start for the students that do not eat breakfast. One particular morning a student was very upset when it was time to clean up because the coloring was not finished. I just had to say \"keep it in your chair pocket and you can work on it again when we have time.\" This could have turned into a meltdown but because of the organizational tool, it did not. We use Fridays as a clean out the chair pocket day and send home any papers that may be left in our chair pockets. This helps keep them organized and tidy.","fullyFundedDate":1747459755243,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-space-saving-and-seating/9344247/","projectTitle":"Flexible Space Saving and Seating!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rommelfanger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4179936_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747180307098","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4179936"},{"teacherId":515680,"projectId":9274218,"letterContent":"Your donations have made an impact on student learning. The students are able to use the stools when we are using the carpet for our lessons. The headphones are wonderful as they can listen to books, use the Chromebook to read assessments, and we have extra if students don't have the resources. The green bands are helpful as a big motor fidget for students who may need to move their bodies while seated. They can use the band to cause resistance, while quietly working. Also, the Mr. Sketch markers are always a hit as they provide a colorful anchor chart that separates information by color, which helps them see relationships between information. \r\n When the students learned about the different resources they could use to help their engagement, they were excited to try them out. They would rush to grab a stool when called to the carpet. As I notice students who need a little extra movement, I put the band on their chair or desk and the stress melts away as they are able to work and move. It is so great to watch students get lost in a book by using the read to me option. Those headphones really keep students interested in reading. Thank you so much for your generous donation as it continues to help generations of students engage in our lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1746453579506,"projectUrl":"project/engagement-at-your-fingertips/9274218/","projectTitle":"Engagement at Your Fingertips","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ruedinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp515680_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1527035693401","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/515680"},{"teacherId":8262493,"projectId":9093652,"letterContent":"The new storage bins and mesh bags for our math manipulatives have been a great addition to our classroom! They've made keeping everything so much more organized and much more accessible to students. It's easier for students to see what's in the bags because of the mesh fabric. Before the bags, the tools were in plastic containers that were constantly cracking and breaking. Then manipulatives were getting lost. It also caused a mess for trying to store all the plastic containers and for students to try to figure out what was in them. Now with the mesh bags they can easily see inside, they zip easily, and the storage bins make it easy to store all the mesh bags in. \r\n\r\nThe students have enjoyed having these new materials and organization in our classroom! It makes getting ready for math easier for them. They also know exactly where the tools go back to when they're done using them, because the storage containers are all labeled based upon which mesh bags with which tools go in the bins! \r\n\r\nHaving these new materials has made our learning easier and keeps us all better organized!

My students were so excited to get the seat sacks for their books. These seat sacks are amazing and help the students keep their books safe and organized. They can take the seat sacks off their chairs so they can sit in different areas around the room. \r\nThe students are really enjoying the new cushions that arrived as well. They like being able to sit on the cushion instead of the cold ground. This has allowed my students to be more engaged in their reading versus being uncomfortable. \r\nHaving the stools at my table has made the students more comfortable when having small group conferences. They are enjoying the stools very much and look forward to working with me at my table. \r\nThe students LOVE the flashlights. This was probably their favorite out of all the supplies you helped purchase. They are always asking for their flashlights to read their books. \r\nThank you again for your generosity.

Thank you for helping my students become more empathetic to others. \r\nThe students in my classroom are reading more books because of the money you donated.
