With all the supplies that were donated we were able to do so much stuff. With the DogMan books that were donated many of my kids are now excited to read which is something they were not looking forward to most days! With the white board notebook paper it allowed me to show my students how to write correctly on a piece of lined paper! I really appreciate all the help I was given by the gracious donations.

Your donation has made a difference in my class' daily learning. My class has been able to explore STEM activities in hands-on ways that would not have been possible otherwise.\r\n\r\nThe items you provided have quickly become some of our most loved classroom tools. My students especially enjoy building different habitats using the Lincoln Logs, magnetic tiles, Legos, and pipe connectors. It has been amazing and fun to watch them design and create their own projects.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have also been a huge help during both small-group and whole-class lessons. Students love practicing their writing and spelling on them, and they are much more engaged when they can actively participate in this way.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest favorites in our classroom has been the solar system projector. It has sparked curiosity and excitement about space and science. They really enjoyed this during our space unit.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for every item we received and for the generosity of those who chose to support our classroom. Your donation has helped create a more engaging and inspiring learning environment for my students, and we appreciate it more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1762812402763,"projectUrl":"project/creating-calm-building-confidence-and-j/9878525/","projectTitle":"Creating Calm: Building Confidence and Joy Through Art and Design","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anglin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9833673"},{"teacherId":2109986,"projectId":9009596,"letterContent":"Our new classroom rug has already become the heart of our learning space. Each morning, my first graders gather on the rug for our daily morning meeting. One of my favorite moments so far happened during a read-aloud of The Day You Begin. As the students settled into their own colorful squares, they were noticeably more focused and comfortable. The rug helped create a calm, welcoming space where everyone felt included—something we'd been striving for since the beginning of the year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping transform our classroom environment.

One of our favorite moments so far happened during our first big writing workshop. With their brand-new notebooks, pencils, crayons, and markers, the students were eager to decorate their covers and begin writing their \"All About Me\" books. Having fresh, organized materials allowed them to focus completely on their ideas rather than worrying about broken crayons or missing supplies. The room was filled with excitement as they shared their drawings and stories with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving our students such a strong and joyful start to the year.

Your donations have opened up wonderful opportunities for my first graders, allowing us to bring new books and resources into their hands. Every day, I see the difference your generosity makes in their learning, creativity, and excitement about reading.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors love books but may not be familiar with the skills we focus on when teaching young readers. Thanks to the new texts you helped provide, our students are practicing important reading strategies that lay the foundation for lifelong literacy. They are learning to retell stories, notice details about characters, make predictions, and connect stories to their own experiences. These skills are not only vital for comprehension but also help students build confidence as independent readers. For example, during our recent fable unit, students were able to discuss the lessons of each story, explain character actions, and even create their own endings. This type of thinking goes beyond simply reading the words—it helps children understand, analyze, and enjoy stories on a deeper level.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an interactive, joyful experience. Students spend time reading independently, in small groups, and with partners, often sharing their favorite parts of a story or asking questions about what might happen next. We also incorporate art, discussion, and creative writing activities connected to the books we read, giving students multiple ways to engage with the material. Because of your support, our classroom library has grown with titles that are diverse, age-appropriate, and engaging. These books have encouraged students to pick up a book on their own, explore new topics, and develop a true love of reading.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have shown particular excitement about the new books. One student, who was initially hesitant to read aloud, now eagerly chooses books from our classroom library and shares her favorite parts with peers. Another student has developed a strong interest in fables, excitedly explaining the morals and retelling the stories to his family at home. These moments are incredibly rewarding, and they happen because students have access to texts that capture their interests and challenge their thinking. Your support has not only enriched our classroom but has also helped individual students grow in confidence and skill.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is truly making a difference. You are helping my students develop essential literacy skills, encouraging a lifelong love of reading, and providing opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and learning. On behalf of our first graders, thank you for believing in them and for investing in their growth. Your support brightens our classroom every day, and we are deeply grateful for your partnership in education.","fullyFundedDate":1753384927667,"projectUrl":"project/we-love-reading/9235001/","projectTitle":"We Love Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hasty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2109986_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684277664789","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2109986"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49301","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":366,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":49301,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Berryville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Berryville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/berryville-school-district-27/berryville-elementary-school/49301"}
