My middle school Health students had so much fun making sensory bottles with these supplies! The activity itself was so pleasant and peaceful, a moment of joy with a sweet but very chaotic group of kids (if you've ever been in a room full of 12 year olds, you get it). And they were SO excited about their finished bottles that they were carrying them around school for weeks. They could often be seen quietly flipping the bottle up and down and looking at it, which is exactly what they're for :) Thank you once again and I hope you are all well these days!","fullyFundedDate":1651499848731,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-activities-for-middle-schoolers/6444378/","projectTitle":"Sensory Activities for Middle Schoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nutsugah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2969137_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y96&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762354383063","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-nutsugah"},{"teacherId":2969137,"projectId":6235541,"letterContent":"My apologies for the several-year lateness of this update - it was a busy post-pandemic time and I completely missed it.

They were eager to use the boards during small group activities, and it immediately transformed our math time into something more interactive and fun. Instead of simply turning in worksheets, students could quickly show their thinking, make corrections in real time, and celebrate small wins with their peers. The fluency books have been especially helpful for quick warm-ups and practice, allowing my scholars to build confidence with math facts they will rely on well into middle and high school.\r\n\r\nThese resources continue to make a lasting difference in how my students approach math each day. Small group work has become more dynamic and engaging, giving me opportunities to check for understanding quickly and provide immediate feedback. The next steps for my students involve applying their growing fluency to more complex problem-solving tasks, where strong fundamentals are key to success. Thanks to your generosity, my scholars are not only strengthening their math skills but also learning to enjoy the process—and that excitement is something we will carry into future lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1717423540601,"projectUrl":"project/math-small-groups-and-fluency/8421127/","projectTitle":"Math Small Groups and Fluency","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6371424_orig.jpg?crop=507,507,x100,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1554532325231","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bdscarecloset"},{"teacherId":6371424,"projectId":8068338,"letterContent":"When my students received the everyday essentials from this project, their reactions were filled with relief and gratitude. For many of them, items such as soap, laundry detergent, and other hygiene supplies may seem small to others, but they represented dignity and comfort. One student shared how having access to these items helped them feel more confident walking into class each day. These resources allowed my scholars to focus more on their learning instead of worrying about things outside their control, and it created a more positive, uplifting atmosphere in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are continuing to use these resources as a foundation for encouraging responsibility and self-care among our scholars. With their basic needs supported, students are now able to engage more fully in academic projects, group activities, and personal goal-setting. The next step for my class is to channel this renewed sense of confidence into their studies as they prepare for upcoming lessons and long-term projects that help them envision their future as artists, teachers, doctors, and leaders. Your support did more than meet a need—it showed my students that they have a community standing behind them, believing in their success and their dreams.","fullyFundedDate":1711747915127,"projectUrl":"project/care-closet-reboot/8068338/","projectTitle":"Care Closet Reboot","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6371424_orig.jpg?crop=507,507,x100,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1554532325231","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bdscarecloset"},{"teacherId":9106394,"projectId":9003684,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous support in bringing new books to our classroom through DonorsChoose.
