The materials you helped provide were put to use immediately, and the impact on my students has been both exciting and inspiring.\r\nFrom the moment we opened the boxes, my students were eager to explore the new resources. These materials have allowed us to create hands-on learning experiences that were not previously possible. Students who often struggle to stay organized were suddenly focused, motivated, and enthusiastic. The tools have supported a wide range of learners; those who need extra support, those who thrive with tactile activities, and those who are ready to be challenged more deeply.\r\nThroughout the past weeks, I have witnessed more collaboration, curiosity, and confidence in our classroom. Students are taking ownership of their learning and pushing themselves in new ways. The resources you funded have not only enhanced our daily lessons but have also created opportunities for meaningful skill building, creative thinking, and problem solving. I like to use the folding chairs as a reward area for students that have been extra good or have all of their work completed. It gives them a break from the standard desk and they enjoy sitting in the calm area. \r\nYour generosity reached far beyond materials; it sent a message to my students that there are caring people in the world who believe in their potential. They feel seen, supported, and valued, and that makes an immeasurable difference.\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom. Your contribution has created long lasting benefits for my students, and we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1756925111293,"projectUrl":"project/take-chances-make-mistakes-get-messy/9570973/","projectTitle":"Take Chances, Make Mistakes, Get Messy!\" - Ms. Frizzle","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sawdy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166947"},{"teacherId":8374540,"projectId":6293457,"letterContent":"Thank you for your very generous donation to our classroom.

Today, their obstacle was a classmate, and they had to get Indi to drive around them.

They have strategically and creatively designed their maps for their Indis. \r\n\r\nThe versatility of the Indis has blown me away in my lessons for a wide range of grade levels.
