Because of your support, my students now have access to essential materials—copy paper, pencils, and computer chargers—that make a daily difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the supplies arrive, they were excited and relieved. Something as simple as having sharpened pencils and available paper helped students feel prepared and confident to start their work right away. The computer chargers were especially impactful. Students no longer have to worry about devices shutting down during lessons, assessments, or collaborative activities.\r\n\r\nThese materials have directly supported student learning. With consistent access to paper and pencils, students can fully engage in note-taking, problem-solving, and practice activities without interruption. The chargers allow us to maximize instructional time by ensuring students can participate in digital learning tasks, online assessments, and interactive lessons without delays.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, I am able to focus more on teaching and less on troubleshooting missing or depleted supplies. Most importantly, students feel supported and ready to learn each day. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping create a more organized, equitable, and productive learning environment. Your generosity truly makes a ripple of impact for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1758895991697,"projectUrl":"project/the-basics-for-brighter-learning/9725881/","projectTitle":"The Basics for Brighter Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gaffen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2258229_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517935267399","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2258229"},{"teacherId":2258229,"projectId":9681733,"letterContent":"I'm excited to share the impact your generosity has already made in our classroom. The portable whiteboards and markers have quickly become one of our most valuable learning tools. My students use them daily during math workshop, partner practice, and small-group instruction. The whiteboards have made it easy for students to erase, revise, and try again, which has strengthened both their confidence and their willingness to take academic risks. The materials created an instant sense of ownership and joy. \r\n\r\nBecause you supported our project, you've had a special peek into what learning looks like in our classroom, and we'd love to share what's coming next.
