My students have loved getting to learn so many amazing things so far this year from our Scholastic and Time magazines.

The impact of these resources to bring current events and literacy into the classroom and community is more important than you may realize. My students come in excited to see and read the newest scholastic news each week. It has become a part of our classroom routine and I am extremely grateful, because without you this would not be possible for our classroom.

With the addition of a floor lamp, table lamp, book lamps, and hanging fairy lights, our learning space has been transformed into a warm and welcoming environment. The gentle glow of these lights has made such a difference in the atmosphere of our room, creating a calm and inviting space where students feel comfortable and ready to learn.\r\nBefore, the harsh overhead lights often felt distracting and overwhelming for some students, especially during quiet reading or writing times. Now, the soft lighting helps set the tone for focus and relaxation. The floor lamp and table lamp brighten up specific areas without being too intense, while the book lamps give students the option to add extra light when they need it. The fairy lights, a class favorite, add a cozy touch that makes the room feel special and uniquely theirs.\r\nMy students have expressed their excitement in ways that show just how much this project has meant to them. One student told me, \"It feels like home when the fairy lights are on.\" Another shared, \"I like sitting by the lamp when I read, it makes me feel calmer.\" These small comments reveal the big impact these changes have had on their daily classroom experience.\r\nYour support has done more than provide lamps; it has created a learning environment that feels safe, comfortable, and inspiring. The lighting you provided has set the stage for countless hours of reading, writing, and collaboration, and my students and I are deeply grateful.\r\nThank you for believing in the power of small changes that lead to big impacts. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1755363238111,"projectUrl":"project/soft-lighting-supports-security-and-stud/9420893/","projectTitle":"Soft Lighting Supports Security and Student Sanity in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glatfelter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749085372933","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missglatfelter"},{"teacherId":10050286,"projectId":9397344,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generosity in supporting my classroom project. Thanks to your donations, my 5th grade ELA students now have book bins, labels, tote bags, a pencil dispenser, and zipper pouch bags that have completely transformed the organization of our learning environment. These resources have provided a true home for our materials, helping students take pride in their supplies and making our classroom run more smoothly every day.\r\nBefore these items, students often struggled to keep track of their books, writing tools, and classroom resources. Materials would get misplaced, and valuable learning time was sometimes lost to searching or reorganizing. Now, every student has a clear place for their belongings. The book bins and labels make our classroom library more accessible, so students can easily find and return books. The tote bags and zipper pouches allow them to transport and store their supplies neatly, while the pencil dispenser ensures that everyone always has the basic tools they need without interruption.\r\nThe difference has been remarkable. Our classroom feels calmer and more purposeful because materials are not only organized but also easy for students to manage independently. I've noticed students taking greater responsibility for their supplies, and they approach reading and writing tasks with more confidence because they can access what they need right away. Having these systems in place has allowed us to spend more time focusing on learning and less time on logistics.\r\nYour support has gone far beyond providing organizational tools, it has created a classroom environment where students feel prepared, capable, and ready to learn. These small changes have had a big impact on both their confidence and their daily routines.\r\nThank you again for believing in the power of education and for giving my students the gift of organization. Your kindness has truly made a lasting difference in our classroom, and we are so appreciative of your support.","fullyFundedDate":1750213011018,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-a-tidy-and-focused-5th-grade/9397344/","projectTitle":"Tools for a Tidy and Focused 5th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glatfelter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749085372933","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missglatfelter"},{"teacherId":10050286,"projectId":9397235,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your generosity in supporting my classroom project. Because of your kindness, my 5th grade ELA students now have access to new floor cushions and stacking stools that have transformed both the look and feel of our classroom. These resources have not only improved organization, but they have also given my students meaningful choices in where and how they learn.\r\nOne of the biggest changes I've noticed is how much calmer and more organized our room feels. Before, students often struggled to find comfortable places to read, write, or collaborate, which sometimes led to distractions. Now, the stacking stools allow us to keep our space neat and flexible; we can easily set them out for small group discussions or tuck them away when not in use. The floor cushions have become a beloved option for independent reading or writing time, giving students the chance to settle into a cozy spot where they feel focused and relaxed.\r\nMy students love having these options, and I can already see how it impacts their engagement. Many of them choose their seat with excitement each day, and several have told me they feel more motivated to read or work when they are comfortable. It has also created a stronger sense of community; students gather naturally on the stools for group projects, while others enjoy spreading out with their cushions for quiet study. This flexibility has encouraged collaboration, independence, and ownership over their learning.\r\nYour support has done more than provide furniture; it has provided opportunities for my students to thrive. You have helped create a classroom where students feel valued, where they can focus, and where their individual learning needs are met. For that, I am deeply grateful.\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and believing in the power of education. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in our classroom, and we will continue to benefit from your kindness for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1750213011229,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-future-authors-supporting-young/9397235/","projectTitle":"Fueling Future Authors: Supporting Young Minds in ELA","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glatfelter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749085372933","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missglatfelter"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100929","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1519,"numTeachers":88,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":100929,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dallastown Area Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dallastown Area Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/dallastown-area-school-district/dallastown-area-interm-school/100929"}
