Because of you, my students have been actively using the new resources in our daily lessons and they have already made a meaningful impact. When materials first arrived students were so excited and eager to explore everything. One special moment I can share is one the students saw their privacy folders they were so eager to use them and kept asking me \"When are we having a test\"?. Students love the weighted panda and they are so eager to use them in class to help them relax and calm. Their engagement and confidence increased as they work together. \r\n\r\nYour contribution has impacted the class environment as well by giving students more space to place their items on their new seat-sacks as well as their new cushion seats they can use when we are doing our morning routines or group work. As we move forward students will continue using these resources to deepen their understanding through ongoing interactive lessons. Again so grateful for your donations and your generosity has not only provided tools, but inspired students enthusiasm for learning . Thanks for making a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1767486096020,"projectUrl":"project/embracing-uniqueness-one-student-at-a-ti/9743385/","projectTitle":"Embracing uniqueness one student at a time!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. De Los Santos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10272901_orig.png?crop=1024,1024,x256,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790478292128","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10272901"},{"teacherId":7875144,"projectId":9571115,"letterContent":"These new texts introduce key literacy skills such as identifying theme, making inferences, expanding vocabulary through context clues, and building background knowledge about the world. They also support social-emotional learning by helping students explore emotions, perspectives, and problem-solving through characters and storylines.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is an active and engaging process. Students read independently, in small groups, and as a whole class. They discuss texts with peers, annotate or jot notes, ask questions, and make personal and real-world connections. Reading isn't just about finishing a book it's about thinking deeply, talking thoughtfully, and growing confidence as readers.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially excited about the new books. Reluctant readers are choosing books more independently and staying engaged for longer periods of time, while more advanced readers are enjoying the opportunity to stretch their thinking with richer stories and topics. We've also seen students light up when they recognize themselves, their interests, or their experiences reflected in the characters, which has made reading feel more meaningful and joyful for them.","fullyFundedDate":1756671689539,"projectUrl":"project/library-lift/9571115/","projectTitle":"Library Lift","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Jenkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7875144"},{"teacherId":9886651,"projectId":9694147,"letterContent":"Thank you — your generosity is already making a clear difference for our students.
