We are now on Week 2 of school and already putting our resources to work! Our headphones are being used by every student so they can use their text to speech tool, not as distracted, and engaged in their learning. We also have used our doodle boards to help encourage students to work their math problems out and it has helped so much! Lastly, you have helped stocked our calculators, this is such a big deal because a majority of our students do not have the chance to get one at the beginning of the year. We have supplied every student with their own this year and they are forever grateful for that! Thank you for making my classroom a better learning environment.

They work so hard everyday and this really helped them feel rewarded of their hard work. They have been so happy to help unpack boxes and organize and set up our locker room. They have completely been making their home away from home. Some of these girls basically live in our locker room because home life just is tough. Things like the air freshners, snacks, and towels help them being able to feel at home in the locker room. Other things like hairspray, deodorant, tampons, pads, etc. allow these girls to take care of themselves more than they would be able to without these items. Lastly, the cleaning supplies like the mop cleaner, toilet cleaner, and magic erasers will allow these girls to clean up after themselves and truly be a home that they can take pride in. \r\n\r\nThank you very much from me and the girls for funding this project of not just mine but ours.

Because of these time savers, we can spend more time learning and less time getting supplies and cleaning up at the end of class. \r\n\r\nOther items like the document lock box, fan/heater, and liner will be very much appreciated and used by me. I will be able to lock up and keep safe confidential documents like IEPs that students or other people can not have access to. I will also be able to adjust my comfortability with the temperature in my classroom without freezing my students. They should be comfortable as well while learning. Lastly, the liner will help me keep drawers clean and things not rollings around when opening up and closing drawers.

Your donation has made such an impact on my students who's parents are not financially able to purchase those tools. \r\n\r\nIn my class, my students keep a three ring binder with dividers, a pencil pouch and extra notebook paper. At the beginning of the year, I help them set it up to maximize efficiency, and to help them keep track of the notes, assignments and graded papers they will have for their ELA/Reading classes. \r\n\r\nI have learned that setting middle schoolers up with an attainable way to organize, as well as helping them stay organized, makes more successful student. Since starting this system even the high school teachers have commented on the students increased ability to manage time, paperwork, and school work more effectively. \r\n\r\nMiddle school is when children are learning to be more independent and solidifying their executive functioning skills. I believe that this small binder makes a huge impact on their overall success as a student, and ultimately an employable adult.","fullyFundedDate":1768508980419,"projectUrl":"project/blueprints-for-success-helping-middle-s/9957545/","projectTitle":"Blueprints for Success: Helping Middle Schoolers Get Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bryen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9889512_orig.jpg?crop=3744,3744,x0,y636&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736372214386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbryen"},{"teacherId":9889512,"projectId":9894929,"letterContent":"Thank you, thank you, thank you! This gift has been such a fun learning and community building opportunity! \r\n\r\nMy plan was to use the copies of books to have \"in class\" book clubs. I had seen other teachers online use this strategy but was apprehensive to use it in my own classroom. \"Will they enjoy the books?\" \"Are they going to be at the appropriate level for all of my readers?\" \"Is this going to cause mass chaos?\" These were all questions I asked myself before starting this journey. I am so thankful for your gift, because it has turned into one of the greatest teaching experience I have had to date.\r\n\r\nThe students loved getting to pick which book stood out to them, and because of that choice they were a lot more invested in the reading. When it came time for their \"book clubs\" to meet I saw so much social emotional learning as the students debated, discussed and learned together. \r\n\r\nI saw outspoken kids learn to quiet themselves and implore the more reserved students to speak. I saw students who are self professed \"non-readers\" become invested so they could contribute during their group discussions. The most heartwarming was the connection and empathy my students had with the characters in the books.\r\n\r\nI have not been able to use The Christmas Carol yet but after teaching it from a downloaded version, I am so excited to have physical bound books for the students to follow along with. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your contribution to the young people in my classroom. They are becoming smarter, kinder and all around better citizens because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1765160560626,"projectUrl":"project/voices-choices-and-classics-empowerin/9894929/","projectTitle":"Voices, Choices, and Classics: Empowering Readers in Every Way","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bryen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9889512_orig.jpg?crop=3744,3744,x0,y636&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736372214386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbryen"},{"teacherId":9889512,"projectId":9780610,"letterContent":"I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generosity towards my classroom.

I have been able to pair traditional novels with their graphic novel to give students and anchor for those visuals. I have also been able to introduce some of the classics to students when the traditional novel is beyond their comprehension. \r\n\r\nThe biographies have been a huge hit with my students who crave more \"real life\" stories. They have connected with the people in the biographies and been inspired by their stories. \r\n\r\nLastly, the contact paper has been a game changer for keeping books in excellent shape while they are living their lives being carried around in binders and backpacks by middle schoolers.

In the past I would spend a hour trying to find worksheets online to access and print off.
