One highlight was our Create Your Own Culture project, where students designed flags, currency, traditional clothing, and maps for an imaginary culture. Having the right materials meant they could move beyond digital work and physically create their designs—resulting in colorful, detailed projects we proudly displayed.\r\n\r\nThe students were genuinely excited! As soon as they saw the new supplies, their creativity took off. Many commented that it felt \"like art class in social studies,\" and they immediately started planning how to use the materials to make their projects stand out.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will be using the same materials to complete our end-of-year presentation boards, showcasing everything they've learned this year. We're also incorporating small group hands-on activities that kept lessons interactive and engaging until the last day of school.","fullyFundedDate":1744902671026,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-students-cut-and-glue-their-w/9137332/","projectTitle":"Help Our Students Cut, and Glue, Their Way to Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stephenson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8430692_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682983922750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8430692"},{"teacherId":9103277,"projectId":9307914,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom pantry project.

One student said, \"This means I don't have to sit through class with my stomach growling.\" That simple statement says so much. For many of them, hunger is a quiet struggle, and this pantry has become a consistent source of comfort and support. Whether it's grabbing something before a test or during an afternoon slump, they now have what they need to stay engaged.\r\n\r\nThis support has also allowed me to shift my focus fully to instruction. With one less barrier in their way, my students are participating more in discussions, completing assignments with better focus, and showing up ready to learn.

One specific project where your donation made a huge impact was our latest classroom activity, where students created a ice cream brand that would promote ending racism a sociology unit we focused on this year. Being able to print their work not only boosted their confidence but also allowed them to take pride in their final product.\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the stack of fresh paper, their excitement was immediate!
