Thank you for helping us start the school year with wonderful new books, a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, and classroom supplies. These resources make such a difference in creating a classroom where students feel excited to learn, explore new ideas, and grow throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThe new books will help foster a love of reading and give students opportunities to discover new stories, connect with characters, and build their literacy skills. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card allows me to find engaging, meaningful resources that meet the needs of my sixth graders, while the classroom supplies help keep our learning environment organized, welcoming, and ready for success.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it means so much to have people who believe in students and are willing to invest in their education. Your kindness and generosity help make our classroom a better place, and I cannot thank you enough for helping us kick off the year on such a positive note.

I received items for prizes and the students loved these prizes. I also received stickers for prizes and I have been using the stickers to give incentives to my students. \r\nThe punching bag is a huge success. My students have behavior issues and the punching bag is used when they start to escalate. My aides will let a student us the bag to get their frustration or anger out. The pencil box is perfect to keep sharpened pencils. My students love getting pencils from the box. I keep unsharpened pencils separated from the sharpened ones.\r\nThe fidgets are used for students who need to calm down and refocus. We use those to help the students when they ask for a short break.\r\nThe puzzles are perfect for my student who is really low. He loves to do puzzles and this.\r\nI love the hole punch and stapler for paper work for my IEP's. It is great because I can hole punch multiple pages at one time. The stapler is so much nicer than a regular stapler.

I am a first year teacher so I am in the process of beginning to build my class library. I inherited some books from other teachers but was still lacking a good variety of choices. My goal is to have many different genres of books to encourage my students to read. I want each student to be excited to pick up a book and discover the joy of reading!\r\nEach day, my students have a chance to read a book in the class library during literacy small group time. I selected books to request based on students' interests in my class. When the donated books arrived, we gathered as a class to open the box together. There were lots of happy exclamations and comments such as \"Can I read this book first?\" or \"That book looks so interesting!\" The books are greatly enjoyed in the classroom and rotate from student to student as they take turns reading the new books.\r\nThank you for your generous donation, my class benefits each day from having these additional books to read.","fullyFundedDate":1761008653206,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-1st-year-teacher/9816328/","projectTitle":"Books for 1st Year Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Christiansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10308407_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760356390876","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10308407"},{"teacherId":10235297,"projectId":9670015,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my third grade classroom.

I am also incredibly grateful for the chair for me—it has made long days of teaching much more comfortable and allows me to better support my students throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThey are excited, comfortable, and proud of their learning space, and that positivity carries over into their learning each day.

Most recently, our second grade students used model magic to make melted snowman ornaments for our school holiday tree. Projects like these allow students to practice skills and apply knowledge in a real world setting that allows them to express their creativity. \r\n\r\nNext month, our fourth grades will be using the art wire that was donated to explore line and portraiture by making continuous contour line portraits out of wire. Students love this project because we start with blind continuous line drawings of their neighbor. These are silly, but they help students learn to accept mistakes and be okay with the process. They will then build their own portraits using one continuous line and lay their wire over the top. Can't wait to see how these turn out.","fullyFundedDate":1758054546585,"projectUrl":"project/sculpture-palooza/9544324/","projectTitle":"Sculpture Palooza!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Augustus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7821936_orig.jpg?crop=512,512,x812,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632452569498","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7821936"},{"teacherId":844909,"projectId":9780882,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project!
