With your help, our students were able to create more than 150 potholders—an effort they took great pride in. They enjoyed the experience so much that we've continued the project into this year.\r\n\r\nThe students were thrilled to receive the new \"fancy\" loops, especially the bright, vibrant colors that made their creations even more exciting. The addition of seven new looms has been especially impactful, allowing every student to work simultaneously. This not only made the project more engaging but also fostered a strong sense of teamwork and inclusion.\r\n\r\nAs their teacher, I've seen a noticeable improvement in their fine motor skills and focus, and I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity your support has provided.","fullyFundedDate":1742248194293,"projectUrl":"project/weaving-art-and-financial-success/8989020/","projectTitle":"Weaving Art and Financial Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taunton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3724412_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1476211293133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3724412"},{"teacherId":1761786,"projectId":9563886,"letterContent":"The wobble stools, flower pillows, and wobble cushions have already been an amazing success in our classroom! Together, my students and I talked about how wobble stools help when our bodies feel so wiggly that it's hard to concentrate. At first, I worried the seats might turn into toys, but to my delight the students use them responsibly, share without hesitation, and are truly more focused while creating their artwork.\r\n\r\nEvery class has been excited to use them, and it's clear that even small changes to comfort can make a big difference in helping students feel supported at school. Thanks to your generosity, these stools and cushions will continue to benefit students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1755728352358,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-creative-minds-in-t/9563886/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Creative Minds in the Art Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Combs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1761786_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720591622341","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1761786"},{"teacherId":1761786,"projectId":9079165,"letterContent":"My students LOVE legos!

In the art room there is often time for students to \"free create\" when they have finished with their art projects. They are thrilled to have so many legos to create with. I've seen them create oceans, trees, planes, and cities all in just the first week back to school! It brings me so much joy to see my students working together with their classmates and bringing their creative imaginations to life with the magical gift of Legos.
