Your kindness has had a meaningful impact on my kindergarten students, and we are incredibly grateful.\r\n\r\nThe students absolutely enjoy the magnetic tiles, flower garden, and connecting cubes. These materials have quickly become classroom favorites and are helping students build creativity, problem-solving skills, and collaboration through hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nThe emotions center has been working wonderfully for our kindergartners. It has provided them with a safe space to recognize and express their feelings, and they are learning how to communicate their emotions in a healthy and positive way.\r\n\r\nThe printer has been a huge blessing for our classroom. It allows me to print learning materials for my students as well as important documents for parents, helping strengthen communication between school and home.\r\n\r\nThe colorful and interactive calendar is another item the students love. We use it daily, and it has become an engaging part of our routine that supports learning about days, dates, and important classroom activities.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for believing in our students. Your support truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1758743774865,"projectUrl":"project/building-brilliant-beginnings/9712459/","projectTitle":"Building Brilliant Beginnings","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10259846"},{"teacherId":10047474,"projectId":9388602,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom. Because of you, our Great Minds now have tools that are already making a meaningful difference in their daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nOur new printer has been a game changer. It allows me to quickly print differentiated materials, small group resources, and student work without delays ensuring learning continues smoothly and students get what they need right when they need it.\r\n\r\nThe STEM supplies have sparked creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Students are using these materials to design, build, test, and revise—developing critical thinking skills while learning how to work together, communicate their ideas, and persevere through challenges.\r\n\r\nOur daily writing journals and daily math journals have helped establish consistent routines that build confidence and independence. Students now see themselves as writers and mathematicians. I have been able to see substantial growth in their overall performance both in the classroom and on tests. Thanks to your donation, my students have a safe space to think, reflect, explain their reasoning, and track their growth over time.\r\n\r\nThe student mailbox has added excitement and purpose to communication in our classroom. It's being used to share positive notes, writing pieces, feedback, and celebrations, helping students feel seen, valued, and motivated.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom is more organized, engaging, and student-centered. These resources support not only academic growth, but also confidence, creativity, and a love of learning. Your generosity truly makes a difference every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1757528822467,"projectUrl":"project/help-create-an-engaging-classroom-for-a/9388602/","projectTitle":"Help Create an Engaging Classroom for A First Year Teacher!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047474_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748903412167","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047474"},{"teacherId":5049355,"projectId":9637036,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!
