My students and I have truly been enjoying and making the most of the new resources. These materials have been used across so many projects and daily activities, and they have already made a meaningful impact on our learning environment.\r\n\r\nOne project that really stood out was our Famous Entrepreneur Project. Students used the pens, poster paper, and Sharpies to create life-size versions of their chosen entrepreneurs. They researched, planned, designed, and proudly presented their work, and the creativity and excitement in the room were incredible. Seeing their ideas come to life with quality supplies made the project even more engaging and memorable for them.\r\n\r\nThe students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw all the materials arrive. There was a lot of excitement, curiosity, and eagerness to start using everything right away. Even the everyday tools have become classroom favorites—believe it or not, the 3-hole puncher is a huge hit! Additionally, the Clorox wipes have been invaluable in helping us keep our classroom clean and organized, which supports a healthy and positive learning space.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our students are able to continue learning through hands-on projects and collaborative activities. Our next steps include building on these experiences with future research projects, presentations, and creative assignments that allow students to take ownership of their learning. Your support has truly given our donors a peek into our classroom, and we are so grateful for the difference you've made in our students' educational journey.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and our students!","fullyFundedDate":1755521974676,"projectUrl":"project/empower-learning-every-supply-counts/9474656/","projectTitle":"Empower Learning: Every Supply Counts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. CORTEZ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9584458_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720280931047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9584458"},{"teacherId":9584458,"projectId":8837205,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to our project.
