We are so grateful for these much-needed supplies!\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, we work hard to create \"one-pagers\" and other projects that show our learning. It can be incredibly frustrating for students when their final work doesn't match the vision they had in their mind, simply because the right tools weren't available. Our old markers had bad tips and our rulers had disappeared over time.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students can now create the impressive-looking work they've been trying to achieve. I have attached a photo of their work and you can see how a simple Sharpie can make a difference. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students feel proud of their work and for investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1755738841699,"projectUrl":"project/building-confidence-with-supplies/9614808/","projectTitle":"Building Confidence With Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2875457_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1529640636189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2875457"},{"teacherId":2875457,"projectId":9622532,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of the thermal printer and sticker labels for our classroom.

I have already begun using the printer to create custom labels that are making a real difference. Students are now able to find materials more quickly and follow visual directions, which makes our lessons more accessible and run more smoothly.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, I can instantly create exit tickets, add helpful reminders to desks, and make visual aids for student notes, helping everyone stay organized and engaged.

Our usual paper supplies didn't really help with inspiration but the colorful cardstock has made a difference. The students are already putting the new paper to good use. They love to cut and fold it as the weight makes it far more workable than copy paper.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students can now create pop-up books, science models, and artwork that will last.

They eagerly helped unpack the box, and their eyes lit up when they saw the new books waiting to be explored. We began using the books right away during guided reading time. Because the texts are carefully leveled, I can now group students more effectively and provide each group with stories that are just right for their reading abilities. This has allowed me to tailor my instruction to meet each child's needs—whether they're working on decoding, fluency, or comprehension. One of my favorite moments was seeing a struggling reader proudly finish a book independently for the first time; the joy and confidence on their face said it all.\r\n\r\nThe letter puzzles have also become a class favorite. We use them during literacy centers and small group rotations, where students match letters to sounds. These tactile activities have been especially helpful for my early learners who need more hands-on practice with foundational skills. The puzzles make learning feel like play, and I've noticed that students are more engaged and collaborative during these sessions.\r\n\r\nThanks to the resources provided by generous donors, my students are not only becoming stronger readers but also more confident, curious learners who see themselves as authors and storytellers.","fullyFundedDate":1755743663100,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-bright-futures/9495648/","projectTitle":"Books for Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Logan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8905662_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753683492180","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8905662"},{"teacherId":5283153,"projectId":9293143,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of P.E.
