I have already seen a difference in my organization through the items that were sent. The filing tray has been amazing to help me organize completed work from each class. I have become much more efficient in locating papers and setting up a structure so that I am well prepared for upcoming lessons. Additionally, the laminator has already been in use to help with our classroom crafts and to help materials last longer. \r\n\r\nYour contributions will not only make an impact on the students this year, but it will also be useful to the students in future years!","fullyFundedDate":1764783141369,"projectUrl":"project/from-mess-to-success-organizing-for-lea/9835239/","projectTitle":"From Mess to Success: Organizing for Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ali","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10247497_orig.png?crop=1056,1056,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760568228147","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10247497"},{"teacherId":6907454,"projectId":9854524,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous donation. The resources you've provided have had a profound impact on the way my students write. Giving us so many new and exciting approaches to writing has brought such a deep level of joy and excitement to writing in my classroom. \r\n\r\nThe handwriting resources have given students more confidence in their ability to form letters and the magnetic writing chart has given students the chance to share their ideas and writing. Also each student was so excited to receive a mechanical pencil to use during writing time. \r\n\r\nEach of the resources has brought more joy and engagement to our writing block.

The robots help students move beyond simply using technology to actively creating with it. By programming and testing the m2bots, students build problem-solving, coding, and critical-thinking skills in a hands-on way that makes learning engaging and meaningful.\r\n\r\nStudents are especially excited to see their code come to life as the robots move and respond to their commands. Several students who struggled with traditional lessons have shown increased confidence and participation when working with the robots. This technology has helped spark curiosity, teamwork, and a love of learning, and we are grateful for the opportunity it has provided our students.","fullyFundedDate":1759258043263,"projectUrl":"project/coding-with-purpose-help-us-learn-with/9743748/","projectTitle":"Coding with Purpose: Help Us Learn with the mBot2 Robot!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Iñaki","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9328510_orig.jpg?crop=274,274,x0,y36&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697081338722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9328510"},{"teacherId":9811809,"projectId":9722509,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! The new materials, the spin wheel, mouse robots, colorful straws, and orange folders, are already making a big difference in how my students learn each day.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors use technology at home but may not know how it transforms learning in a classroom setting. The mouse robots, for example, are helping my students develop early coding, problem-solving, and sequencing skills in a hands-on, playful way. They get so excited watching the robot follow the path they created, and it helps them understand cause and effect in a concrete, meaningful way.\r\n\r\nThe spin wheel has quickly become a class favorite! We use it for turn-taking, literacy games, and math activities. It keeps students engaged and motivated, especially during small-group rotations.\r\n\r\nThe color straws are a fantastic tool for fine-motor practice and STEM building challenges. Students enjoy creating shapes, structures, and patterns, and it encourages creativity and teamwork.\r\n\r\nAnd the orange folders have helped us stay organized during our learning centers, giving the children more independence and helping our routines run smoothly.\r\n\r\nI have a few students who sometimes struggle to stay focused, and the hands-on nature of these new materials has helped them participate with more enthusiasm and confidence. Seeing them light up when the robot moves or when the wheel selects their name is priceless.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom.

Hahaha. \r\n\r\nOf course my kids ending up bragging and told the kids from other classrooms that maybe if they were really good, their teacher would get them a cool air fryer too.

From the moment students saw it, they rushed to sit together, amazed at how inviting and comfortable the space felt. The rug has created a gathering spot where learning, collaboration, and community come alive.\r\n\r\nDuring math talks, morning meetings, and read-alouds, students sit together on the rug, ready to listen, share, and engage. It has given them a clear, welcoming space to focus and connect. The rug has also supported routines—students know that when they come to the rug, it's time to transition into learning together. This predictability has fostered emotional safety and helped students regulate their energy.\r\n\r\nThe impact is visible: discussions are more focused, collaboration has deepened, and students are more eager to participate. The rug has not only improved academic engagement but also strengthened our classroom culture, giving students a sense of belonging and pride in their shared space.\r\n\r\nThanks to this resource, our classroom now has a true center—a place where voices are heard, ideas are shared, and community is built.","fullyFundedDate":1754941812604,"projectUrl":"project/grounded-in-learning-a-us-map-rug-for/9553367/","projectTitle":"Grounded in Learning: A U.S. Map Rug for Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shimoda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4048058_orig.jpg?crop=638,638,x27,y93&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754593628690","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msshimoda"},{"teacherId":4048058,"projectId":9555374,"letterContent":"I recently asked one of my students to share her thinking with the class. It was her first time being chosen to share her work, and she was nervous. She asked me to choose someone else. As she walked up to the easel to start writing her math solution, she looked one last time at me. I nodded and smiled as her classmates leaned in, curious to see how she had solved the problem. As she wrote out her steps and explained her thinking, hands shot up—not to correct her, but to ask questions, to compare strategies, and to build on her ideas. This student smiled as she realized her classmates were learning from her, and she was learning from them. When she was done, she had a big, proud smile on her face. In her reflection, she wrote: Today was a good day because I put my work on the board. \r\n\r\nMoments like this happen every day now. The easel has become a stage where students proudly present their work, practice clear communication, and engage in respectful discussion. They see that there isn't just one \"right way\" to solve a problem, and that exploring different perspectives deepens understanding. Students who once stayed quiet now step forward with confidence, and collaboration has grown stronger.\r\n\r\nThe impact is visible: math scores have improved, but more importantly, students have developed skills in problem-solving, presentation, and teamwork that will serve them far beyond the classroom.
