My special education students were overjoyed when they saw the Crayola Kid's Markers. Their faces lit up with excitement as they eagerly grabbed the bright colors to start creating. These markers have been a game-changer in our classroom, allowing my students to express themselves in ways that words sometimes cannot. From illustrating stories to color-coding their learning materials, these markers have helped make lessons more engaging and accessible.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite activities has been using the markers for a feelings chart, where students draw or color how they're feeling each day. This has been an incredible tool for social-emotional learning, helping them communicate their emotions effectively. Your generosity has made a real impact, and we are so grateful for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1737074438664,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-shipment-2025-01-1/9067911/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials Shipment: 2025-01-16","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Q","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823020"},{"teacherId":9823020,"projectId":9007105,"letterContent":"Thank you for fully funding our \"Warmth, Care, and Hunger Relief for Young Learners\" project!

During a recent group activity, they were thrilled to receive the Rice Krispies Treats and Kool-Aid Jammers, which helped create a positive and engaging atmosphere.\r\n\r\nWith these resources, my students are more excited to participate in lessons, and we're continuing to build on their academic and social skills.
