They were thrilled to get them and immediately began decorating their bottles, turning them into personal and unique possessions that reflect their individual styles. Water bottles can be found everywhere, in classrooms, at recess, in special classes and in the cafeteria. My students are so grateful for their water bottles.\r\n\r\nThe excitement hasn't faded. Students are still enthusiastic about their bottles and love showing them off. They often point out how others outside their class have decorated theirs, comparing designs and taking pride in their own creations. The water bottles have become more than just a way to stay hydrated, they've turned into a fun and meaningful part of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1753981368375,"projectUrl":"project/sip-smart-stay-strong/9400223/","projectTitle":"Sip Smart, Stay Strong","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6811550_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x510,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1568268443021","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6811550"},{"teacherId":9441753,"projectId":9133003,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations to support our \"Artist's Library\".

Tools such as these will help them to make real life connections as well as inspire them to be great artists themselves.

When they first saw the new seating mat, they ran to it and immediately sat down; it was as if they knew it was for them. They have been very happy to have a place that they feel comfortable. \r\n\r\nHaving this mat in our room has been a great alternative to a traditional rug that would be subject to potential spills of paint or other messy supplies. This mat has been easy to clean and easy to roll away when it is time for the older students to have class.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness in helping our students!","fullyFundedDate":1738872072108,"projectUrl":"project/give-little-artists-a-cozy-seat/8836946/","projectTitle":"Give Little Artists a Cozy Seat!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stanley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9441753"},{"teacherId":9656974,"projectId":8651687,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your contributions to our classroom. The learning rug has elevated our space in so many different ways. We enjoy doing whole group and small group learning sessions on the rug. Students enjoy stretching in the morning and using flexible seating options on the rug for small group and whole group lessons. The carpet provides a communal space for us to gather as a classroom family. We also have used the rug to enhancing certain lessons, such as multiplication using rows and columns.

Thanks to your support, my students now have access to snacks that help keep them fueled and ready to learn throughout the day. For many of my students, these snacks are not just a treat but a vital resource that ensures they can stay focused and engaged. We've already seen positive changes in their energy levels and overall participation in class activities. The classroom is buzzing with excitement as the students now have the sustenance they need to tackle challenging lessons and stay sharp during our learning sessions.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, the students were thrilled! You could see the excitement on their faces as they realized that they would no longer have to worry about being hungry during the day. It's a small but meaningful change that's had a big impact on their well-being and attention in class. We've been able to use the snacks in creative ways, such as incorporating them into class activities where students get to share and learn about healthy eating habits while they enjoy their treats.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing with our current project on nutrition, where students are exploring the science behind food energy and how it fuels their bodies. We're diving into hands-on experiments to better understand the relationship between what we eat and how we feel. Your contribution has not only helped us stay fueled, but it's also been a catalyst for deeper learning and exploration. We can't thank you enough for making this possible, and we look forward to keeping you updated on all the amazing progress our students continue to make.","fullyFundedDate":1737398639558,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack-keeping-kids-energized-for/9072107/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack: Keeping Kids Energized for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9767575"},{"teacherId":6811550,"projectId":4469895,"letterContent":"Thank you providing my scholars with flexible seating that supports learning by increasing focus, engagement, and comfort.
