Having a comfortable and welcoming space has helped students feel more focused, engaged, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the rug has created a place where students feel safe and connected. It encourages collaboration, respectful listening, and positive social interactions—skills that are just as important as reading and math. Something as simple as a rug has transformed how our class comes together each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students now have a space that supports both learning and belonging.

Having every strategy in one organized place has helped my students feel empowered and capable. They no longer wait for me to guide them step-by-step—now they flip straight to the mat they need, problem-solve on their own, and proudly say, \"I can do it myself!\" These books have also saved me hours of preparation time, allowing me to focus more on small-group instruction and individualized support.\r\n\r\nFor phonics and literacy, the resources I originally planned shifted into something even more impactful. I created skill-practice books that my students use during morning work and early-finisher time, and they absolutely love them. These books give them hands-on activities that review what we're learning while keeping them meaningfully engaged. It has made our daily routine smoother, calmer, and more productive.\r\n\r\nYour donation to a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card allowed me to purchase high-quality small-group activities, engaging holiday lessons, and even organizational tools that support data tracking and growth-mindset instruction. Not only has this improved my daily instruction, but it has supported my entire first-grade team. These are resources we'll use all year long—and in the years to come.\r\n\r\nThe birthday gifts and prize box items have become instant favorites in our room. The joy on my students' faces when they receive a birthday surprise is unforgettable—it's a moment where each child feels truly seen and celebrated. The prize box has also become a powerful motivator for positive behavior and academic effort, creating a classroom culture built on encouragement and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nFinally, the snack packs you provided have been such a blessing. Many of my students come from low-income households, and having a Friday snack they can count on has meant so much to them. These small treats bring comfort, excitement, and the nourishment they often need to stay focused and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThis project has supported my classroom academically, socially, and emotionally in ways that will ripple far beyond this year. Thank you for believing in my students, investing in historically underfunded schools, and giving my class the tools to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1746785547847,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-minds-and-meeting-needs-in-firs/9309512/","projectTitle":"Engaging Minds and Meeting Needs in First Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6552169_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726095800407","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/helpmsmitchell"},{"teacherId":7078031,"projectId":9841618,"letterContent":"You would think that Santa Claus himself walked into this classroom when our custodian, Ms. Kelli, carried in the boxes of headphones.
