I was able to get new classroom supplies for the beginning of the school year.

I bragged about the awesome opportunity I received through Donors Choose. \r\n Working at a school where over 60% of the students are free or reduced lunch, many families just cannot purchase all of the school supplies needed, especially if they have more than one child.

Their faces lit up with excitement as they explored the new equipment and realized they were about to learn something completely new. For many of my students, this was their very first experience with golf or bowling—activities they had only seen others do.\r\n\r\nWe've been using these resources during math and social studies. Students are learning how to take turns, encourage one another, and practice patience while improving their counting and reading skills. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was seeing a student who often hesitates to try new things proudly. It was pure joy and confidence in action.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to take what we've learned beyond the classroom by visiting a store and practicing these skills in a community setting. This will give students a chance to apply what they've learned, build social connections, and experience success in a real-world environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible—your generosity has created opportunities that my students will remember for a lifetime.","fullyFundedDate":1728929642985,"projectUrl":"project/games-with-play-money/8821515/","projectTitle":"Games with Play Money","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Faith Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1135610_orig.jpg?crop=327,327,x909,y404&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720986045835","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/faith-jackson"},{"teacherId":7125573,"projectId":9715847,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom project, as it has been an amazing addition.
