When the boxes arrived, the excitement in the room was palpable. My students couldn't wait to see what was inside, and seeing their faces light up as we've \"unboxed\" our new wobble stools and floor cushions was a highlight of our semester.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these resources was immediate. The students absolutely love having the opportunity to sit on wobble stools during our intensive learning times. These stools allow for just enough movement to help my high-energy learners stay focused on their phonics and math lessons without being disruptive. They are also very happy to have more options for sitting on the floor comfortably; the new seating has turned our rug area into a truly \"Cozy Place to Read.\"\r\n\r\nWe are currently using these seats during our independent reading blocks and small-group rotations. I've noticed that when students are comfortable and have a choice in their environment, their stamina for reading increases significantly. Looking ahead, we plan to use our flexible seating area as a home base for our upcoming research projects, where students will collaborate in \"learning pods\" on the floor.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided furniture but has created an environment where my students feel empowered to choose how they learn best.

Because of your support, my students now have a more organized, calming, and welcoming space to use whenever they come into my room. This environment helps them regulate tough emotions, feel grounded, and focus on problem-solving skills that will support them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe new presentation clicker has made a huge difference—my classroom lessons are smoother, more engaging, and allow me to stay fully present with students instead of being tied to my computer.","fullyFundedDate":1755706994666,"projectUrl":"project/organized-calm-spaces-to-learn-and-grow/9515702/","projectTitle":"Organized, Calm Spaces to Learn and Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hannah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9808786_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754589318727","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9808786"},{"teacherId":8154744,"projectId":8994015,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.

They look forward to it each day, and it really brightens their spirits.\r\n\r\nThey were so excited to see how well-stocked our snack closet was. It's been a wonderful surprise for them to find so many options available. The abundance of snacks has made a big difference in their day-to-day routine.\r\n\r\nThe variety of snacks you provided has been a huge hit.

It's clear that the table has become a favorite spot for them during these sessions, and it's creating a positive learning environment for teamwork.\r\n\r\nEven when there's no scheduled small group work time, the students still choose to work at the table. This shows how much they enjoy the space—it's not just for group activities but has become a preferred place for individual tasks too. It's encouraging to see them so engaged and comfortable in a space that promotes both focus and collaboration.\r\n\r\nWhen they saw the yellow table, they were immediately in awe. Its bright, vibrant color instantly caught their attention, and they couldn't help but express how excited they were. The table seemed to bring a unique energy to the room, making everything feel more lively and welcoming. They really enjoyed how it transformed the space, adding a touch of warmth and personality that everyone appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1733246003323,"projectUrl":"project/table-for-better-collaborative-small-gro/8949834/","projectTitle":"Table for Better Collaborative Small Groups!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8154744"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58791","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":374,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.7,"schoolId":58791,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about O'Malley Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"O'Malley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/anchorage-school-district/o-malley-elementary-school/58791"}
