Because of you, our families now have access to beautiful, engaging books that are already being used—and loved—both in our classrooms and at home.\r\n\r\nMany of our families do not have books readily available, so being able to send high-quality stories home has made an incredible difference. Parents have shared how excited their children are to read together, and students are coming to school eager to talk about the characters and stories they explored the night before. These books have opened doors to conversations, curiosity, and joyful reading moments that otherwise would not have happened.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped us strengthen early literacy skills and nurture a genuine love of reading within our school community. The impact reaches far beyond the classroom walls—it is building lifelong readers and giving families meaningful opportunities to learn together.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your kindness and belief in our students.

My students' eyes lit up as they unpacked the boxes, immediately noticing that the dolls looked different from one another — just like them and their friends. They were eager to take turns feeding, rocking, and tucking in their \"babies.\" It was such a joyful moment to see them practicing empathy and care through play.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the new materials daily in our dramatic play center. The children have created their own \"classroom\" and \"family\" scenarios, taking on roles as parents, caregivers, and even doctors. These play moments have led to meaningful conversations about kindness, responsibility, and inclusion. I've noticed that even my more hesitant students are engaging in play more confidently and using new vocabulary related to emotions and care.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our lessons on families and community helpers, these resources will help students connect real-life experiences to their play and strengthen their social-emotional learning.

Thanks to your generosity, I received a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card that will have a direct and lasting impact on my students and our classroom. The support you've shown means so much, not only to me as a teacher but also to my students who will benefit daily from the resources this gift will provide.\r\n\r\nAs a first-year teacher, I am quickly learning how many materials and resources are needed to build a classroom that is both engaging and supportive for every child. While schools do provide many essentials, there are so many small details and specialized items that can make a huge difference in student learning. That is where Teachers Pay Teachers comes in. This platform is full of creative, hands-on, and standards-based resources created by educators who understand the needs of students. With your help, I now have the ability to access and bring those resources into my classroom.\r\n\r\nThe gift card has allowed me to purchase activities, games, visual supports, and differentiated lessons tailored to my students' unique needs. I teach first graders on the autism spectrum, and every one of them learns in their own way. Some benefit from interactive visuals and hands-on practice, while others thrive when they have structured routines supported by visual schedules or task cards. Teachers Pay Teachers offers exactly those kinds of resources, and now I am able to provide them because of your generosity.\r\n\r\nOne of the first things I planned to purchase is a set of literacy centers that focus on phonics, sight words, and reading comprehension. These centers will allow me to give my students independent practice opportunities that are both fun and meaningful. I am also excited to explore math resources that use visuals, manipulatives, and engaging activities to help build number sense and problem-solving skills. Additionally, I hope to find social-emotional learning tools—such as feelings charts and calming corner visuals—that will help my students better communicate their emotions and develop important self-regulation strategies.\r\n\r\nYour donation not only supports academic growth, but also social and emotional development, which is such an important part of my classroom. Many of my students are working hard to learn how to interact with peers, express their needs, and develop confidence in themselves as learners. The resources I'll be able to access with this gift card will make these skills more accessible and achievable.\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for believing in me and in my students. Your willingness to give shows how much you value education and the bright futures of children. Your support encourages me as a new teacher to continue giving my very best each day, knowing that there are people who care deeply about the success of my students.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making a difference. Your generosity will be felt each time a child smiles with pride after learning a new skill, engages joyfully in a classroom activity, or feels supported by the tools we now have because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1752671613825,"projectUrl":"project/quality-resources-gift-card/9344224/","projectTitle":"Quality Resources Gift Card","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haldas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9917999_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744134218866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9917999"},{"teacherId":9917999,"projectId":9102038,"letterContent":"Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, my students with Autism have been truly privileged by the arrival of hundreds of dollars' worth of snacks to help them regulate during the afternoon school day. These snacks have become a crucial part of our daily routine, offering students a consistent and comforting way to manage sensory needs, reduce anxiety, and refocus their energy for learning. One meaningful moment happened during our \"Calm Corner\" break—after a sensory activity, a student selected a preferred snack and said, \"This helps my body feel better.\" That simple statement showed just how much these snacks support both physical and emotional regulation in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the shelves filled with snacks, their excitement was contagious. Some clapped, others flapped their hands joyfully, and a few asked if they could try one right away. It was clear that they felt seen and valued, knowing these items were just for them. Moving forward, we're using the snack time as part of our social-emotional learning lessons. Students are learning to identify their feelings and make choices based on their body's needs. Our next step is incorporating visual schedules and self-regulation charts that help students pair snack choices with calming strategies—thanks to donors, we can continue creating a classroom where all students are supported, understood, and set up to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1746786037454,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-little-duckies/9102038/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Little Duckies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haldas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9917999_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744134218866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9917999"},{"teacherId":9096430,"projectId":9065152,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to bringing movement to our students at Mote Elementary!
