Students didn't have to run up to the front office to get tissues. We could clean up after labs. We have working markers for board work, among other organizational materials you helped provide. It may not be glamorous, but having these basics in place makes a big difference in how smoothly the class runs and how comfortable students feel.\r\n\r\nThese supplies support our daily routines and help keep the focus on learning chemistry rather than managing logistics.

While supplies like glue sticks, scissors, markers, and a few snacks might not seem like the most exciting request, they are absolutely essential to the kind of thinking, learning, and creating we do every day.\r\n\r\nMy students regularly imagine what a more inclusive and just society could look like beyond the world they currently experience. To explore these ideas, they create. They spend time designing posters, visual projects, and collaborative displays that help them think critically and express their perspectives. Whether they are building reading posters, annotating texts, or designing visuals that represent historical themes, having the right supplies allows them to move beyond worksheets and engage in hands-on, creative learning that brings their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have the tools they need to design and bring their thinking to life. We are incredibly grateful. While these may seem like simple supplies, they make a huge impact on how students experience learning in our classroom by helping create an environment where they can showcase their ideas.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your support.","fullyFundedDate":1759877247254,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-refresh/9754308/","projectTitle":"Classroom Refresh!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1002403_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y106&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594768013644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/youngforthewin"},{"teacherId":6735576,"projectId":10069620,"letterContent":"Anyone who has ever learned a new skill (particularly in math) knows the importance of practice.

I have a nice little library of novels that are high interest and offer voices and perspectives that fall outside of the mainstream, and your support has made this little library a whole lot bigger. Many of my original books don't get returned, which is fine, as I'm always happy to help increase readers; your donation has replenished those missing books. In addition, we're really in a golden age for YA; your donation has added some new, engaging titles to the shelves. I love helping kids love reading; you donation has helped build that love.\r\n\r\nIn addition, y'all sent me some tissues which are so so so helpful because it has been a ROUGH flu season.

For many of my students at our public school in the Los Angeles area, this was the first time they had consistent access to this type of academic technology.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your donation went far beyond test preparation. Students felt empowered hearing their own growth as Spanish speakers, and they became more willing to take risks, revise their work, and strive for higher levels of proficiency.

They all appreciate having brand new expo markers because they can clearly see their work. \r\n\r\nThe way my classroom now looks with the college pennants and bean bag chairs is exactly what I imagined, cozy. I love that students can sit and talk and work on math with such ease because they are more relaxed. Some students even choose to use the lap boards to work while lounging on chairs.
