My students are overjoyed with the Code and Go Robot Mouse. They are captivated by the way they can press buttons to direct the charming little mouse along the path they created using the paper cards route. This experience not only teaches them patience but also fosters logical thinking. The older version required frequent battery changes, so the rechargeable batteries are incredibly beneficial. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of the new rechargeable mouse sets.

The children absolutely adored the plush toys that bring them comfort. With excitement, they exclaimed, \"Oh, this is so soft! I really like it.\" They have learned to reach for their soft, fluffy toys or the cube from their personal boxes when they feel upset, angry, or sad, helping them practice self-soothing.\r\nWe will be creating canvas bags filled with items that can bring them joy. They will also have the opportunity to use colorful markers to draw calming images. Additionally, they can make cards and bookmarks to share with classmates who are feeling upset, angry, or sad, offering them a way to feel better.","fullyFundedDate":1763318673072,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-self-manage-my-stress/9877266/","projectTitle":"Help Me Self Manage My Stress!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Han","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1270088_orig.jpg?crop=832,832,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747622597258","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1270088"},{"teacherId":10095122,"projectId":9568023,"letterContent":"Since our project was funded, our classroom has felt like a completely different space in the best way. The pre-cut tennis balls on our chairs have made our room noticeably quieter, and my students immediately appreciated the change. They love that they can move their chairs without the loud scraping noise, and it has helped create a calmer atmosphere during independent work, reading time, and transitions.\r\n\r\nThe new books have also added so much excitement to our classroom library. Students have been exploring the new series at their own pace, and many of them are finding books that match their interests more easily. During independent reading, I see students settling in faster and showing more interest in what they are reading simply because there are more options that feel \"just right\" for them.\r\n\r\nA few students have shared how much they enjoy the quieter classroom and how the new books give them something to look forward to each day. These changes may seem small, but they have made a meaningful difference in our daily routines and in how students feel about learning. Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping me give my students tools that truly improve their learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1755695223105,"projectUrl":"project/expanding-our-library-one-series-at-a-t/9568023/","projectTitle":"Expanding Our Library, One Series at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10095122_orig.png?crop=1687,1688,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753765957639","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kwong7"},{"teacherId":8674080,"projectId":9517355,"letterContent":"When we received and opened the packages, the students were very excited. \"It is like a Christmas Day!\" The first highlight of the materials is bag hangers. After I assembled the hooks on the table, students hung up their lunch bags, lighter backpacks, and water bottles. Immediately, my classroom looks much organized, with more walking space. It helps me to manage 28 students in a school. \r\n\r\nThe next excitement is the Yoga mats. Our 5th-grade students need to pass the 5th-grade physical test—for example, push-ups, sit-ups. We can also practice Yoga poses during PE class and meditate to calm down and reduce stress. \r\n\r\nFinally, the dry-erase markers and mechanical pencils are saving us time in writing and assessment, and students love writing on the small whiteboard rather than on paper. My 5th-grade students love the mechanical pencil, and it saves us so much time sharpening pencils. \r\n\r\nAll your generous contributions meet our students' needs. We will never forget that you are part of our essential support team.","fullyFundedDate":1755695413424,"projectUrl":"project/help-create-a-calm-organized-learning-s/9517355/","projectTitle":"Help Create a Calm, Organized Learning Space for My 5th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Graves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8674080_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683605548022","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8674080"},{"teacherId":10099510,"projectId":9786016,"letterContent":"I am extremely grateful for all the support in providing my classroom with a set of important books about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been such an inspiration to me as a child, and I am thankful to have the opportunity to share about her life work with my students. Her message of fighting for the freedom of everyone is more needed than ever before, especially among my students who will often face discrimination in their everyday lives. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, my students have been gaining valuable knowledge from reading about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. They have explored the history behind the call for more women's rights and discussed the challenges women still face today to have equality. This is extremely valuable in a world that expects many to in a certain way because of their gender. \r\n\r\nLastly, my students had a blast putting their reading comprehension skills to the test. They read with their reading partners and sometimes on their own. They took notes and cited information to write about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her accomplishments.
