Because of your support, we received new lined dry-erase boards and pouches for my first graders — and the difference has been immediate and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe lined dry-erase boards are helping students practice proper letter placement and formation in a hands-on, low-pressure way. They love being able to write, erase, and try again, which strengthens their handwriting skills and builds confidence. The pouches give each child a safe place to keep their Falcon Cash, the school-wide reward they earn for being safe, respectful, and responsible. Having a dedicated pouch has made it easier for students to take pride in and care for their rewards.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is supporting both academic growth and positive classroom habits. Thank you for investing in our learners — your donation makes our classroom a better place to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1758893246960,"projectUrl":"project/a-clean-slate-sounds-great/9732759/","projectTitle":"A Clean Slate Sounds Great!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. LaMacchia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7876074"},{"teacherId":7876074,"projectId":9305795,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to this project! \r\nThe nameplates on our desks are perfect and are a wonderful resource when counting and writing.

It's been fun for them to see how our writing, coloring and cutting improve the farther into the year we get. The students also love the new math games I was able to purchase.
