The student each got books and dalmatians toys to take home to remember the day. We will be using the soil and seeds we got this week to plant and watch zinnias grow. We have our ABC Countdown starting in May and will be using many items to enhance those days.

Thanks to your support, I now have resources that have truly made a difference in the learning environment for my students, and I cannot thank you enough.\r\n\r\nThe new items have transformed my classroom into a more comfortable, engaging, and inviting space. The rug has become a central part of our daily routines, where students can sit together in a circle, share their thoughts, and reflect on what they've learned. It has created a sense of community and collaboration that has made a profound impact on our classroom dynamics.\r\n\r\nThe reading canopy, in particular, has been an absolute hit! When the students first saw it, their excitement was palpable. They are still buzzing with joy every time they get to use it. It has become a cozy and welcoming space where they can focus on their reading, engage with one another, and explore new ideas.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is not just about the materials; it's about the way these resources have fostered a nurturing environment where my students feel supported. They are using these items in so many meaningful ways—whether it's in small groups, individually with me, or to help address both their academic and social/emotional needs. These tools are guiding them as they navigate their learning and even help them think about their future careers.\r\n\r\nThank you for being such an integral part of this journey. Your kindness and generosity have made a lasting impact on my students, and we are deeply appreciative. We will continue to use these items to grow, learn, and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1733423534261,"projectUrl":"project/counseling-program-necessities/8969440/","projectTitle":"Counseling Program Necessities!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maynard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9710711_orig.jpg?crop=481,481,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724767326159","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9710711"},{"teacherId":9839376,"projectId":8959268,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation of supplies to my classroom.

Each day the students get to choose and new seat, this is helping with keeping the classroom clean and getting wiggles out. As well as teaching responsibility. \r\n\r\nI also thank you for the giant sticky poster paper. In my classroom we make many anchor charts and group posters to show our learning and collaborate.
