So far with these gift cards I have been able to purchase scaffolded assignments for my students, posters for my classroom as well as resources my students can use everyday. The main focus for this project was to buy the curriculum scaffolded assignments. My population of students has a wide variety of academic needs and the bundles I was able to purchase with these gift cards provide me with the differentiated assignments I need to support all my students.","fullyFundedDate":1746786199098,"projectUrl":"project/tpt-gift-cards/9062739/","projectTitle":"TPT Gift Cards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coppola","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9062149_orig.jpg?crop=1049,1049,x371,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713032159967","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jncoppola"},{"teacherId":4679534,"projectId":9407987,"letterContent":"Thanks to Donors Choose, my students now have safe seating options that have transformed our classroom. We use these seats throughout the day, during small groups, independent reading, writing workshops, and even during collaborative activities. The seating helps my students stay comfortable and focused, which makes a big difference in their learning. For example, during writing, I've noticed that students are more eager to work and share because they feel settled and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first walked in and saw the new seating, their faces lit up with excitement. Many rushed to try out different spots, and I overheard one student say, \"This is the best chair ever!\" Another said it felt like \"a brand-new classroom.\" Their joy showed me just how meaningful these resources are for them.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are working on building stamina in reading and writing. These seats are helping students stay engaged for longer stretches of time, which is strengthening their skills. Our next step is to use the seating during bigger projects, such as science experiments and math problem-solving tasks, where students will be able to work together in a safe and supportive environment.\r\n\r\nOverall, the safe seating options have created a welcoming classroom where students can learn, focus, and thrive every day. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and my students and I are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1755703394421,"projectUrl":"project/safe-seating/9407987/","projectTitle":"Safe Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zamarron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4679534_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503353280441","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4679534"},{"teacherId":9874914,"projectId":9426393,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting \"A Table for Togetherness: Building Small Group Success!\" My second graders and I are already putting our new small group table to great use every single day. It has quickly become the heart of our classroom where I can gather students for math problem-solving, testing and reteaching. Just last week during small groups, my students leaned in around the table, sharing their ideas and helping one another put together a skip counting pattern puzzle—it was a powerful reminder of how important it is to have a space designed for small group learning.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new table, their excitement was contagious. Many of them immediately pulled up chairs and started \"playing teacher,\" eager to experience the space from both sides. Having a special spot just for teamwork and learning together made them feel proud, and they couldn't wait to get started. Now, every time I call groups to the table, I hear, \"Yes! It's finally our turn!\"—something that never fails to make me smile.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue to use our table as the hub for targeted instruction, collaboration and enrichment. In math, students will be using the space to work on problem-solving strategies in small groups, extending their learning through reteaching, and engage with others to have meaningful conversations. This project has given us not just a piece of furniture, but a true community table that fosters connection, focus, and growth. Your generosity has provided a place where learning feels special, and my students are thriving because of it.","fullyFundedDate":1755028370333,"projectUrl":"project/a-table-for-togetherness-building-small/9426393/","projectTitle":"A Table for Togetherness: Building Small Group Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Becker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9874914_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y584&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764381880200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9874914"},{"teacherId":9874914,"projectId":9426368,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your generous donation of pillows and differentiated classroom materials. My second graders have already put them to great use! The pillows have turned our reading corner into a cozy, inviting space where students are excited to settle in and take time to calm down. The differentiated items have been especially helpful during small group instruction, allowing each child to engage with materials in their own space. Just last week, while working on place value activities, I noticed how confident and focused students were when using these tools—it truly made learning more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first walked into the classroom and saw the pillows and new resources, their faces lit up. Several of them immediately grabbed a cushion and put it on their seat, while others were eager to explore the new carpet sweeper, and donut seating. Their excitement reminded me how meaningful it is for children to have learning spaces and tools that make them feel comfortable, supported, and motivated.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students are continuing to build their math skills, and these resources will play a big role in that journey. The flexible seating options help create an environment where collaboration and independent work can thrive, while the differentiated items will support upcoming projects in both math problem-solving and in coping mechanisms.
