My students are absolutely loving the new flexible seating and the snacks. The snacks have been such a great addition — they help keep students' stomachs full and give them the energy to stay focused and engaged throughout the day. They've even become a fun motivator for getting work done!\r\n\r\nThe books you helped fund have been a big hit, too. Students are reading them eagerly and sharing great reviews with each other. It's been wonderful to see their excitement about stories they can relate to.\r\n\r\nHaving the ability to offer my students snacks, current and engaging books, and flexible seating has made such a positive difference in our classroom. Many of my students like to move or rock while they work, so the balance stools have been especially helpful in letting them stay active while still focusing on their tasks.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my students and helping create a classroom where they can learn, move, and thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1749822082197,"projectUrl":"project/with-snacks-and-wobbles-we-can-create-ma/9148535/","projectTitle":"With Snacks and Wobbles We Can Create Masterpieces!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hinners","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9937836"},{"teacherId":1677734,"projectId":9135977,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my classroom book club project!
