When the materials arrived, our students immediately gathered around with so much excitement. One of my students—who usually has a hard time settling in, held one of the new tools and whispered, \"I feels awesome.\" That moment alone reminded me how powerful your kindness truly is.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these resources, our students have been more engaged, calmer, and more willing to try activities that used to feel overwhelming for them. During a recent small-group lesson, a student who often shuts down stayed focused the entire time because they had the sensory support your donation made possible. These small victories are huge for them.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just give us supplies, you gave our students confidence, comfort, and the chance to feel proud of themselves. Thank you for believing in them.","fullyFundedDate":1755707270644,"projectUrl":"project/transforming-our-learning-lounge/9381314/","projectTitle":"Transforming Our Learning Lounge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carbajal & Ms. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1816780_orig.jpg?crop=2395,2395,x465,y232&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748378118097","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carbajal"},{"teacherId":9820581,"projectId":9076041,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our small groups resources project! Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in my students' learning experiences every day.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors are familiar with technology at home, but it's wonderful to share how this technology is transforming learning in our classroom. The new resources have allowed us to create more engaging, hands-on activities tailored to small groups, which helps students collaborate, problem-solve, and deepen their understanding in a way that whole-class instruction can't always achieve.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about these new materials is the interactive nature of the technology. They are eager to explore, experiment, and learn together using tools that feel relevant and fun. This has sparked enthusiasm and boosted their confidence in tackling challenging concepts.\r\n\r\nThere are several students who have especially warmed to this technology. For example, those who used to be shy about participating now feel more confident sharing ideas in small groups. Others who need extra support are benefiting from the personalized attention and resources that the small group setting allows. It's truly inspiring to see their growth and excitement.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.

These new texts have immediately become a cornerstone of our curriculum, introducing critical skills and profound lessons. Beyond just improving reading comprehension and fluency, the book provides an invaluable opportunity to develop empathy and a greater sense of global awareness. Students are analyzing the author's craft, particularly how the dual narrative structure builds tension and theme. More importantly, they're engaging with complex, real-world issues, learning about the challenges faced by refugees, the importance of water, and the resilience of the human spirit. This book has facilitated powerful discussions about perseverance, cultural differences, and the meaning of community, enriching their learning far beyond a typical literature unit.In our classroom, reading now looks like a highly interactive and student-centered experience. We've shifted from silent, individual reading to more collaborative close reading sessions. Students frequently participate in \"Book Club\" discussions where they pose their own questions, debate characters' motivations, and share textual evidence to support their interpretations. We're using reading journals to track vocabulary, important quotes, and personal reflections, which helps to deepen their connection with Salva's journey. Furthermore, the accessible and engaging nature of the book has been transformative for several students. For example, some reluctant readers have found Salva's story so gripping that they're independently reading ahead and volunteering to read aloud, showing a newfound confidence. The historical context, particularly the Sudanese Civil War and the 'Lost Boys,' has especially captivated a few history-minded students, motivating them to conduct their own independent research and share their findings with the class. Your donation hasn't just provided books; it has sparked a genuine love for reading and learning.

Your donations have made a profound difference in enriching our students' educational journey, allowing them to engage deeply with a beautiful and transformative natural process.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our students had the unique opportunity to observe firsthand the remarkable stages of a butterfly's life—from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally, to the vibrant butterfly. This hands-on project brought science to life in a way that textbooks alone cannot achieve. It encouraged curiosity, nurtured responsibility, and sparked wonder about the natural world.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding outcomes was seeing our students showcase their learning to both the school community and their parents. Through carefully crafted projects and presentations, they demonstrated not only their understanding of the butterfly life cycle but also their growth in communication, creativity, and confidence. These moments of sharing their discoveries fostered pride and a sense of accomplishment that will inspire them for years to come.\r\n\r\nThe positive impacts of this project go far beyond academics. It has helped build important memories and experiences that form the foundation of a lifelong love for learning. Students learned patience by waiting for each stage of development, empathy by caring for living creatures, and the joy of seeing their efforts come to fruition. These are invaluable life lessons that your donations helped bring to life.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is not just funding a project; it is nurturing a lasting educational experience that will shape our students' attitudes toward science, nature, and themselves. It creates a positive and supportive learning environment where curiosity is celebrated, and meaningful connections flourish.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for investing in our students' futures. Your support is an essential part of building these important memories and fostering a positive, inspiring educational career for every child involved.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1738181329774,"projectUrl":"project/butterfly-life-cycle-showcase/9067795/","projectTitle":"Butterfly Life Cycle Showcase","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Diaz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9820581_orig.jpg?crop=659,659,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737570420276","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9820581"},{"teacherId":9169917,"projectId":8847400,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for these wonderful donations!
