What used to be quiet, restless indoor recess has turned into active fun—filled with giggles, teamwork, and shared excitement. We've watched students collaborate, build friendships, and engage in problem-solving in ways that truly strengthen our classroom community.\r\n\r\nThe copier paper you provided has also been incredibly valuable. It has allowed us to print creative activities and engaging worksheets that the students are excited to work on. Your contribution helped bring lessons to life and made learning more hands-on and meaningful.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom feels more active, more connected, and more joyful—even when the weather is gloomy. We are genuinely enjoying and appreciating everything your generosity has given us, and the impact has already been felt daily.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and for choosing to support their growth, learning, and happiness.","fullyFundedDate":1755878597148,"projectUrl":"project/lets-make-rainy-days-fun/9372104/","projectTitle":"Let’s Make Rainy Days Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Guzman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9639474_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723166452757","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9639474"},{"teacherId":7762566,"projectId":9322891,"letterContent":"The participation has increased in all of my classes thanks to the new items they are able to purchase with their earned bucks.

Your generosity has made a real difference in my classroom, and I wanted to share the impact it has had on my students.\r\nThe Treasure Box has become one of our strongest tools for building motivation, responsibility, and positive behavior. My students look forward to earning their rewards, and it has created a cheerful, encouraging environment where they feel seen and appreciated. Something as simple as choosing a small prize has helped many of them stay focused, make better choices, and take pride in their work.\r\nI also want to thank you for the markers, magnetic tape, folding storage cart, and erasable pens. These supplies have helped us stay organized and prepared, especially when we take materials outside for recess activities. The cart makes it easy to bring everything with us, and the students stay engaged because we can keep learning and practicing skills in a fun, flexible way. Your support gave us tools we use every single day.\r\nI have noticed a clear improvement in class participation, effort, and behavior since we introduced the Treasure Box. Students who used to struggle to stay on task are now excited to meet their goals. It has also helped create a sense of community in the room, because students cheer each other on when someone earns a reward.\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and in my students.
