I truly cannot thank you enough for thinking of us and for providing materials that have made such a meaningful difference for our students.\r\n\r\nThe shoes and envelopes were absolutely perfect for our Jamestown simulation. The students have been able to use the items as part of the experience, and having real materials to incorporate into the simulation has made the activity so much more engaging and memorable for them. They have really gotten into their roles and have been excited to participate in each part of the experience.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts has been watching the students use the camera to document their learning journey. They have been actively taking photos of one another throughout the simulation and capturing different moments as they work through the challenges of establishing their settlement. They are really taking ownership of the experience, and it has been so much fun watching them become completely immersed in the activity.\r\n\r\nInstead of simply reading about Jamestown in a textbook, the students are getting to experience some of the decision-making, challenges, and uncertainty that the colonists faced. They are working together, making choices, solving problems, and seeing how their decisions can affect the success or failure of their settlement. The supplies you provided have helped bring that experience to life in a way that a traditional lesson simply cannot.\r\n\r\nThe speaker has also already been such a wonderful addition to our school events! It has been great for our dances, and having access to a speaker that we can use for those events has made things so much easier. It is wonderful when donated items can be used in multiple ways and benefit our students both inside and outside of the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe students have been so excited to participate, and I have loved seeing their enthusiasm. They are talking about what they are doing, taking pictures, sharing their experiences with classmates, and making connections to the information we have been learning. It has been especially rewarding to see students who might not always be excited about a traditional assignment become so invested in their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen students are genuinely excited about what they are learning and are able to create memories while making academic connections, it is incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for supporting our students. Your donations are making a real difference in our classroom and at our school. I am so grateful for your kindness and for helping us create experiences that our students will remember. Thank you for helping us bring history to life and for contributing to so many fun experiences for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1780580236949,"projectUrl":"project/lets-go-the-extra-yard/10304975/","projectTitle":"Let's Go the Extra Yard","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Osborne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3925967_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536160199711","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3925967"},{"teacherId":6904312,"projectId":9459563,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our classroom project. Because of you, we were able to add ottoman seats for our students and a flexible seating saucer chair that will be used in our Calm Down Corner.\r\n\r\nThe ottoman seats have already made a big difference—students are more engaged, comfortable, and eager to find their \"just right\" learning spot. The saucer chair has become a favorite in our Calm Down Corner, offering a cozy, inviting space where students can take a moment to reset and manage their emotions in a safe, supportive way.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only helped provide physical items for our classroom but has also created an environment that supports emotional well-being and learning flexibility. These additions will continue to make a positive impact every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom, in our students, and in the importance of creating a space where every child can feel comfortable, focused, and cared for.","fullyFundedDate":1758202841919,"projectUrl":"project/flexspace-transforming-classrooms-for-f/9459563/","projectTitle":"FlexSpace: Transforming Classrooms for Focus, Comfort, and Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McKinney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6904312_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1607607942977","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6904312"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24365","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":795,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"5 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.5,"schoolId":24365,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Copper Mill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Copper Mill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/zachary-community-school-district/copper-mill-elementary-school/24365"}
