Because of you, my students are now using fidgets, a wobble stool, and noise-canceling headphones to better focus and regulate their learning. One meaningful moment was seeing a student who often struggled to stay engaged remain focused during independent reading by using the wobble stool and headphones—allowing them to fully participate and feel successful.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled. They were eager to explore the supplies and learn how each tool could help them meet their individual learning needs. Their excitement quickly turned into pride as they realized these resources were meant to support their success.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our current lessons, students are practicing how to independently choose and use these tools during reading, writing, and small-group work. Our next steps include building stamina during longer tasks and helping students reflect on which tools work best for them as learners.\r\n\r\nYour donation has already made a positive impact on my students' confidence and engagement.

My students spend a lot of time on computers for digital projects, and the softer lighting helps reduce eye strain and makes it easier for them to stay focused during longer work periods. A calmer environment supports better concentration and more thoughtful collaboration.\r\n\r\nOne of the most engaging aspects of the lights is their flexibility. While I control the settings, adjusting the lighting for different activities has helped set the tone for learning. As we head into holiday break, we've also enjoyed some festive light settings, which students have loved and which added a bit of fun to the end of the term without being distracting.\r\n\r\nThis project has been especially helpful for students who are sensitive to bright lighting or who struggle with focus. Those students are more settled and engaged, and the classroom feels like a space that works for everyone. I'm grateful to our donors for helping create an environment that supports both learning and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1763591674537,"projectUrl":"project/lighting-up-learning-making-a-creative/9834937/","projectTitle":"Lighting Up Learning: Making A Creative and Colorful Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wunsch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7587926_orig.jpg?crop=2499,2499,x0,y241&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1609723964483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7587926"},{"teacherId":9569596,"projectId":9213097,"letterContent":"I am writing to express our deepest gratitude and to share the incredible impact that your generous donation of stickers, fidgets, games, and independent activities has had on our students.

The fidgets have been invaluable in our inclusive, co-taught classroom, providing options for students who need help regulating themselves so they can be more successful in our room. Finally, the activities and games have been a fantastic tool for building essential growth mindset and social skills. These items have been a wonderful community-building tool. My students love to challenge themselves with the activities, as well as work together as a team to solve problems, or simply enjoy time off devices and playing a game together.. It's wonderful to watch them build relationships while having fun. This gift has provided them with a unique opportunity for collaborative play that wouldn't have been possible without your support, as our budget doesn't allow for such purchases.

The sixth, seventh, and eighth graders that I teach were excited when the new games were delivered. It felt like Christmas morning! They volunteered to help take the plastic off the boxes and shuffle the decks of cards. Some of the students have asked to play with me. That's wonderful, because I love seeing how they're thinking while they play. Others have asked if they can try the games on their own. This is great, too! I've overheard them READING the rules, discussing the rules, and then modifying them if they need to. The modifications they make are always to help a struggling classmate. What teacher wouldn't feel proud about that? \r\n\r\nMy last class of the day especially likes playing Play on Words and Blurt. The boys that play Play on Words challenge each other to find words spelled with four letters instead of just three. The students that play Blurt are expanding their vocabulary by providing additional clues to help others get to the correct answer. \r\n\r\nAll of the games have been played and will continue to be played throughout this year and in future years. I work with some of my students for three years in a row. I can already anticipate how they will be eager to teach new students how to play our games and learn through having fun.","fullyFundedDate":1762190315184,"projectUrl":"project/word-play-learning-through-games/9834332/","projectTitle":"Word Play: Learning Through Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239072"},{"teacherId":6265055,"projectId":9559425,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity in helping to fund my project!\r\n\r\nMy sixth grade students and I greatly appreciate your donation/match. Because of your donation/match, I was able to let the students color their own bookmark to use in our in-class book. \r\n\r\nThe portable/individual whiteboards are very nice to use in class. It builds students confidence when they can simply erase their answer and no one know they got it wrong the first time. They also help us to be more resourceful and not waste as much paper.\r\n\r\nThe Wobble Stool was a great addition to my classroom. One of the classes I teach is an inclusive class. This stool gives me one more way to help meet IEP and 504 goals of my students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1755740527012,"projectUrl":"project/give-classroom-supplies-a-boost/9559425/","projectTitle":"Give Classroom Supplies a Boost","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Riberich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6265055_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1550245182709","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6265055"},{"teacherId":7587926,"projectId":9534559,"letterContent":"When students first walked into the classroom after the lights were hung, several immediately commented on how different the room felt.

Your kindness has given them a space that feels both special and inviting, and they can't wait to dive into their lessons with these new additions.\r\n\r\nYour donation makes a lasting difference by giving my students opportunities to collaborate in new ways and take more ownership of their learning.

All of us can benefit from looking at our errors to better understand and correct our mistakes. Mistakes are an opportunity to learn is one of my favorite phrases. By using the stand up desk, I am able to quickly adjust the desk to a good height for my students, as they lay their math practice packets on the shelf. With this desk students gather around, so I can check and reteach a concept to numerous students at a time. My middle schoolers also learn from their peers or when I am explaining it to another student.

Thanks to your thoughtful donation, this 29-year veteran teacher has been able to transform her learning environment with essential supplies that are making a tremendous impact on my students' daily educational experience.\r\n\r\nThe donated materials have breathed new life into my middle school classroom and are being utilized every single day:\r\n\r\nIndividual Wipe Boards & Expo Markers: These have revolutionized our daily instruction! Students use these boards for quick vocabulary practice, brainstorming sessions, and interactive problem-solving activities. The immediate feedback and engagement these tools provide have increased student participation dramatically. Whether we're practicing grammar concepts, or conducting peer reviews, these boards are in constant use.\r\n\r\nBean Bag Stuffing: Finally, I can use these seats again! This seating area provides a comfortable option for grouping and for a cozy reading nook. Students \"earn\" the privilege of these seats, and they are quite the motivational tool!\r\n\r\nEasel Paper: Large format paper has transformed our collaborative learning sessions. Students create group presentations, design diagrams, and develop creative writing story maps. The ability to work on a larger scale has encouraged more detailed thinking and improved group collaboration skills.\r\n\r\nNew Books: These additions to our classroom library have been checked out continuously since their arrival. Having fresh, engaging reading material available for immediate checkout has sparked renewed interest in independent reading. Students eagerly anticipate their turn to explore these new stories, and I've noticed increased enthusiasm for daily silent reading time.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this donation truly special is how seamlessly these supplies have integrated into our daily routine. From warm-up activities using the wipe boards to collaborative projects on easel paper, these materials are enhancing learning throughout each school day. My veteran teacher's expertise, combined with these quality resources, has created an even more dynamic and engaging classroom environment.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we're reminded of how partnerships like this one with Donors Choose strengthen our ability to provide exceptional education for our students. This investment in our classroom directly impacts student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall educational experience.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting quality education. Your generosity will continue to benefit my 7th and 8th graders throughout the school year and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1748439638875,"projectUrl":"project/lets-update-this-veteran-teachers-clas/9278424/","projectTitle":"Let's Update This Veteran Teacher's Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reynolds","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005330"},{"teacherId":9518414,"projectId":9689177,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity and support of my students.
