Your contribution made it possible for us to receive disinfecting wipes, Lysol spray, organizational baskets, and a bright, colorful classroom clock that instantly became a favorite among my students.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these materials was felt immediately. The disinfecting supplies have helped us maintain a clean and healthy learning space—something especially important with so many hands touching shared materials throughout the day. My students love taking responsibility for keeping our room tidy, and the new wipes and Lysol have made it easy for them to help take care of their environment.\r\n\r\nThe organizational baskets have also transformed the way we manage our materials. Students can now quickly find and return supplies, which has made our transitions smoother and allowed us to spend more time learning and less time searching for missing items. One of my students even commented that the room \"feels calmer now,\" and I couldn't agree more.\r\n\r\nAnd the clock—what an instant hit! The moment it went up, my students noticed its bright colors and clear numbers. Several of them gathered around, excitedly pointing out the hours and minutes. We've already used it during our math lessons to practice telling time, and it has sparked great conversations about routines, schedules, and how we manage our day.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom is not only more organized and welcoming, but also more functional and engaging. As we continue our current lessons, my students will keep using the clock during math rotations, the baskets during group work, and the cleaning supplies to keep our classroom a safe, inviting place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1762266301336,"projectUrl":"project/clean-classroom/9797776/","projectTitle":"Clean Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9471529_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708175481559","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471529"},{"teacherId":8358174,"projectId":9403521,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your donation. Multiplication flashcards with dry-erase markers will allow students to practice multiplication facts in a fun and engaging way. The first unit in 3rd grade is a challenge! Students must understand the concept of multiplication in a month. 4 weeks are not enough time for them to master the skill. Now I can provide each student with a set of flashcards to practice at home.

The five flexible seating options you provided have made a huge difference in how my students approach learning each day. Whether they're sitting on wobble stools during group discussions or choosing a cozy floor cushion for independent reading, students now have the freedom to learn in the way that best suits them—and it shows in their focus and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nWhen the flexible seating first arrived, the students were beyond excited. There were cheers, wide eyes, and even a few happy dances! One student said, \"It feels like our classroom is a place where we get to choose how we learn.\" The impact was immediate: students became more eager to participate, more relaxed during work time, and more respectful of each other's space and learning styles.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we're using this new setup to support collaborative projects, peer tutoring, and personalized learning time. The flexible seating has given students a greater sense of independence and responsibility, which is helping them take more ownership of their learning. Thank you for giving us this gift—it's not just furniture; it's a tool that's helping shape a more thoughtful, inclusive, and empowered classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746786342290,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9124028/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9471529_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708175481559","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471529"},{"teacherId":9471529,"projectId":9121719,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support! Because of your donation, our classroom was filled with joy, motivation, and a true sense of celebration.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks and rewards—juices, chips, cookies, and fun stickers—their faces absolutely lit up! One student said, \"Is this really for us?!\" with wide eyes and the biggest smile. It was such a heartwarming moment that reminded me just how meaningful these seemingly small items can be to young learners.\r\n\r\nWe've been using these rewards as part of our classroom management and learning incentive system. For example, during our recent reading challenge, students earned stickers and snacks for reaching personal reading goals. One group of students worked especially hard to complete a group project on animal habitats. At the end of their presentation, they were rewarded with a \"celebration snack time\"—something they'd been looking forward to for days. It not only encouraged teamwork, but also reinforced the value of effort and follow-through.","fullyFundedDate":1746786028050,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-and-rewards/9121719/","projectTitle":"Snacks and Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9471529_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708175481559","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471529"},{"teacherId":9471529,"projectId":9112513,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in providing our classroom with paper, markers, and drawers for organization.

The excitement on their faces when they first saw the new supplies was priceless—they couldn't wait to dive in and start using them! One of the first projects we tackled was a storytelling activity where students wrote and illustrated their own short stories. Having access to vibrant markers and plenty of paper allowed them to bring their ideas to life in a way they never could before.\r\n\r\nBeyond creative projects, the new drawers have helped keep our classroom organized, making it easier for students to access materials and take ownership of their learning space.
