An Organized Room Is a Calm Mind

Funded Aug 8, 2023

Thank you for your very generous contribution to my classroom. It is so wonderful to know that there are people in the world that will donate towards the education of children they do not know. This restores my faith in humanity and makes my heart so full.

When my students saw the new items arriving, they became overwhelmed with excitement and began clapping and cheering. They were most excited for the shelves and storage bins! The shelves have allowed us to condense our indoor recess toys and learning supplies to a smaller area. This improved use of space has allowed for us to expand our calm down corner for emotional regulation. The students are also so thankful for the scrapbook bins that I use to store read alouds. It has allowed me to be more organized and switch the books out more consistently.

I have seen the most impact from the bounce bands. I have quite a few students with high energy that need to be able to move while working. The bounce bands have allowed them to wiggle in their seats while completing their work. I am so thankful for all of the donors and their generous donations to my classroom and students!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Hensel-Smith
