Your generosity truly means a lot to me. The items purchased have helped me as a teacher with organization and to ensure things run smoothly in the classroom. My students were super excited to see what was in the boxes as I unpacked everything. \r\n\r\nI have a system in place with pencils and the wireless pencil sharpener allows me to walk around and sharpen pencils as needed. This specific sharpener is wonderful and I am able to save time because I don't have to hold it as it is sharpening. Therefore, I can multitask. In addition, the wireless presentation clicker gives me the opportunity to be in different areas of the room as I am teaching. \r\n\r\nEverything has made my job easier and I thank you so much for that.","fullyFundedDate":1758230500749,"projectUrl":"project/extra-extra-supplies-needed/9485044/","projectTitle":"Extra!

With updated materials that include diverse music selections, engaging visuals, and clear step-by-step instruction, students are more motivated than ever to practice and improve. Instead of struggling to follow along with outdated pages, they now have access to exercises that match their skill levels and learning styles, helping them build confidence and excitement for music.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, rehearsals have become more productive and enjoyable. Students are sight-reading with greater accuracy, listening more carefully to one another, and taking pride in their progress. These books have also made it easier to differentiate instruction, so every child—from beginners to more advanced players—can experience success and feel challenged at the same time.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support has given my students the message that their musical journey matters. They see that there are people beyond our classroom who believe in their potential and want to invest in their growth. Thank you for helping create an environment where young musicians can thrive, discover their voices, and experience the joy of making music together.","fullyFundedDate":1746787390197,"projectUrl":"project/a-method-to-our-music/9228726/","projectTitle":"A Method to Our Music","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp210899_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1478116913989","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/210899"},{"teacherId":9240779,"projectId":9649445,"letterContent":"Once again, thank you for finding my order meaningful and worthy of a generous donation. As you know, I ordered a Lego structure of New York City. Every student who passes their weekly multiplication tests with 100% is allowed to add one piece to the structure. This is an ongoing project that promotes attendance and individual participation for a collective purpose. Students are eager to come to math intervention, they are eager to learn and show that they know their multiples. Learning their multiples increases their success of working out other math problems. Knowing their multiples also provides that automaticity to pass weekly timed tests. Students across 4th and 5th grade are working hard to reach goals. Watching the Lego structure of New York City is the greatest way to encourage this kind of math growth. Also, many students have told me that they've asked their parents to get them Lego structures to work on at home. I am excited to see all of the motivation from my students. In addition, my kiddos are encouraging to each other which maximizes inclusion in the classroom. \r\nYour generous support has filled my class with joy and eagerness to learn even more.","fullyFundedDate":1757881998806,"projectUrl":"project/data-skyscrapers-on-the-rise/9649445/","projectTitle":"Data: Skyscrapers on the Rise","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Angel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9240779_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y614&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693501485412","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9240779"},{"teacherId":9437556,"projectId":9456743,"letterContent":"At this point in the year several students have had a chance to explore the prize bin, and boy can I tell you how excited they've been.

We then checked on our plants a week later and discovered the plant that had access to water, soil (nutrients), air, and light grew the most successfully!
