These hands-on materials have helped my students explore numbers, patterns, and problem-solving in fun and meaningful ways. Instead of simply listening, students are actively building, sorting, counting, and collaborating with their classmates. The stations have increased engagement, strengthened foundational math skills, and built confidence in learners who are just beginning their academic journey. Thanks to the generosity of donors, my students are excited about math and developing a strong foundation for future learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1768192092121,"projectUrl":"project/math-learning-made-fun/10008658/","projectTitle":"Math Learning Made Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scoby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8118895"},{"teacherId":259937,"projectId":9989403,"letterContent":"The arrival of our \"Conflict and Creativity\" materials felt like a holiday in our classroom! When the students saw the boxes filled with brand-new notebooks, vibrant markers, and the \"What Do You Do With a Problem?\" book, there was an audible gasp of excitement. One student immediately asked, \"Are these really for us to keep?\" Seeing their faces light up made it clear that having high-quality, specialized resources makes them feel truly valued as learners.\r\n\r\nWe wasted no time putting the resources to work. We spent the first week diving into Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, using our new post-it notes and dry erase markers to track character conflicts on our whiteboard. The most \"electric\" moment, however, was our first egg-drop STEM challenge. Using the kits you provided, students worked in teams to engineer protective housings. Even when an \"egg\" didn't survive the fall, the students didn't give up; they grabbed their new index cards and sketched out a \"Version 2.0\" based on what they learned. It was a beautiful display of the resilience we've been reading about in our new books.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are using the OuiSi game as a daily \"perspective-taking\" exercise to start our mornings, helping students practice how to see a situation from a classmate's point of view before a conflict even starts. Our next big step is to use the rhyming dictionaries and colored pencils to create \"Resolution Journals,\" where students will write and illustrate their own poems about overcoming personal obstacles. Your generosity hasn't just provided supplies; it has provided the foundation for a classroom culture where every problem is seen as a puzzle waiting to be solved.

The majority of my students did not bring headphones from home, so now I have been able to provide them with this basic supply. The books I received have been so wonderful. I use them for read-alouds, which builds a love for reading. They also are in my classroom library for students to read during independent reading time.

Your contribution has made a remarkable difference, not only in the classroom but in the lives of each of my students. When I first began planning this project, I hoped it would open new doors for my learners, especially those who were struggling to build foundational reading skills. Thanks to your generosity, that hope has become a reality. The materials you helped provide have already had a transformative impact, and I want to share just how meaningful that has been for us.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come to school eager to learn, but without the tools or resources that can truly help them thrive. Reading is one of the most essential skills a child can acquire, yet it is also one of the most challenging for students who lack early literacy support. With the materials funded through your donation—books, manipulatives, literacy centers, and targeted learning resources—my students have been able to engage with reading in ways that are accessible, enjoyable, and empowering. I have watched hesitant readers grow more confident, shy students volunteer to read aloud, and struggling learners experience those \"aha\" moments that every teacher treasures. These changes might seem small on the surface, but they represent a profound shift in the way my students see themselves as learners.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided physical resources; it has provided motivation, encouragement, and a sense of possibility. My students understand that someone outside our classroom cares about their education and believes in their potential. That knowledge alone has inspired them to push harder, stay more focused, and take pride in their progress. It has also strengthened our classroom community, reminding us all that learning is a shared journey—one that connects us to people who want to see young minds flourish.\r\n\r\nFor me personally, your support has been both uplifting and energizing. Teaching can at times feel overwhelming, especially when resources are limited and needs are great. Your donation has reminded me why I chose this profession and why I continue to advocate for my students every day. Knowing that there are people like you who recognize the value of education and who are willing to invest in children's futures gives teachers like me renewed hope and motivation.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, their families, and myself, thank you once again for your kindness, your generosity, and your belief in the power of education. The impact of your support reaches far beyond the walls of our classroom, and its effects will stay with my students for years to come. We are truly, deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758289470003,"projectUrl":"project/phonics-and-sight-words-can-be-fun-too/9671815/","projectTitle":"Phonics and Sight Words Can Be Fun Too!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jacob","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7529120_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626927588555","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7529120"},{"teacherId":7481897,"projectId":9300416,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions that allowed our classroom to purchase an air purifier. This gift has already made a tremendous impact on both the health and comfort of our students and staff. Many of our learners with autism have heightened sensitivities to environmental factors such as dust, allergens, and odors, which can make it difficult for them to concentrate or even remain calm in the classroom. With the air purifier in place, the air is cleaner and fresher, creating a safer and more predictable environment that supports their unique sensory needs. Teachers have also noticed fewer allergy-related symptoms, less fatigue, and a greater sense of well-being throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThis resource has made a significant impact on our classroom. Students are better able to focus on their learning and classroom routines, and teachers can spend more energy on instruction rather than managing environmental distractions.

They were especially fascinated by the Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 pencils, testing how bold the black color looked on graph paper and folders. The privacy folders also made a big impact—they turned a routine math quiz into a moment of focus and independence, and several students commented on how much easier it was to concentrate. One of the sweetest moments was watching students line up to use our new electric pencil sharpener, cheering when their pencils came out perfectly sharpened.\r\n\r\nWe've already been putting these supplies to good use in daily lessons. The graph paper has become a favorite during math activities, while the \"I Need Help\" flip charts have helped even my quietest students find a way to ask questions. The motivational stickers and stamps have added a burst of encouragement, and the new posters have brightened up our math wall. The fluorescent light filters even made the classroom calmer—one student said, \"It feels cozy in here now!\" These small changes have created a big difference in how the classroom feels and functions.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students are preparing to start a math project where they'll track and graph real-life data. With the new folders and organizational supplies, they'll be able to manage their work more independently, and the rewards and notes home will give me even more ways to celebrate their growth. Thank you for giving us the tools to learn, stay organized, and feel proud of our progress—your generosity has truly made a lasting impact on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746785927344,"projectUrl":"project/math-magic-tools-for-a-bright-and-bold/9288003/","projectTitle":"Math Magic: Tools for a Bright and Bold Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Monroy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9351251_orig.jpg?crop=1200,1200,x0,y144&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707793764026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9351251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69624","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":536,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.6,"schoolId":69624,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about D'Vorre & Hal Ober Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"D'Vorre & Hal Ober Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/d-vorre-hal-ober-elementary-school/69624"}
