Thanks to your support through Donors Choose, our students now have folders, writing journals, pencils, markers, and glue—tools that may seem simple but make a tremendous difference in their learning experience.\r\nYour donation means that every child has their own materials to stay organized, practice writing, and complete assignments with confidence. The new folders are helping students keep their work neat and accessible. Writing journals are giving them a dedicated space to develop their ideas, practice handwriting, and build important literacy skills. With fresh pencils in hand, students are eager to write stories, solve math problems, and revise their work. Markers and glue have brought color and creativity into our projects, making learning more hands-on and meaningful.\r\nThese supplies do more than fill desks—they remove barriers. When students don't have to worry about sharing limited materials or going without, they can focus fully on learning. Your kindness ensures that every child feels prepared and included.\r\nWe've already put these materials to use in writing lessons, creative projects, and daily classroom routines. The excitement on students' faces when they received their new supplies was unforgettable. Many of them immediately began organizing their folders and decorating their journals with pride.\r\nYour support reminds our students that people beyond their classroom care about their success. That message is powerful. It builds confidence, responsibility, and a sense of belonging.\r\nOn behalf of my entire class, thank you for investing in our students and helping create a classroom where learning is supported every day. Your generosity truly makes an impact, and we are deeply grateful.\r\nWith appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1768357529000,"projectUrl":"project/essential-supplies-and-rewards-for-title/10011646/","projectTitle":"Essential Supplies and Rewards for Title I First Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Magro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5427830_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768226263271","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5427830"},{"teacherId":1981637,"projectId":10009716,"letterContent":"My students were so excited with the books, ice cream scoops, kitchen appliances, and vet care package. Their little hands were busy learning about sharing, fine motor skills, counting, and caring. The first time they explored these, they were given 3-5 minutes at each center and could have played all day with them given the chance. The next time they got to choose which activity to go to first. The vet care package is definitely a huge hit. Even the older kids enjoy that one. I think it's a great way for students to learn about how to care for animals.\r\nThe books I requested allow scientific thinking, diverse perspectives, and various cultures. We often talk about a window or mirror observation with books. I hope to have each student see themselves in the books chosen. \r\nThe next steps for these activities is to make connections with books and real life living. I hope these generous donations help students realize they are so much more than what they score on tests.\r\nThank you for giving these students experiences that will make them love coming to library.","fullyFundedDate":1768266060499,"projectUrl":"project/learn-read-play-in-the-library-today/10009716/","projectTitle":"Learn, Read, Play in the Library Today","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Byars","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1981637_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1499440739774","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1981637"},{"teacherId":8125596,"projectId":9647053,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project.

They quickly went into detective mode, looking for clues and trying to crack the codes. Students were collaborating and helping each other. I love using Breakout in my class as students are working on their problem solving skills and thinking critically. \r\n\r\nThe Legos and clip connect materials are a class favorite for a lot of my students.

Your contributions have made a tangible difference in our students' education by providing us with a valuable new resource.\r\n\r\nHow We're Using Our New Resources\r\nThe student clocks you funded are a fantastic tool for our whole grade level. These clocks help us make learning how to tell time more interactive and engaging for every student. Now, each child has their own clock to use, which has been a game changer. We can work together as a class, and every student can actively participate in the lesson by moving the hands on their own clock. This hands on approach makes a sometimes tricky concept much easier to grasp.\r\n\r\nDuring a recent lesson on telling time to the nearest five minutes, I asked a question, and I saw all the students excitedly manipulate the hands on their individual clocks. Instead of just a few students raising their hands to answer, everyone was actively engaged, showing me their answers on their own clock faces. This kind of active participation shows me that they're truly understanding the lesson and building confidence in a fun way.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they first saw the boxes of clocks. Their eyes lit up, and they immediately wanted to get their hands on them. The best part has been seeing how each student takes ownership of their clock, practicing with it during our lessons and even using it to challenge their friends.","fullyFundedDate":1746785656763,"projectUrl":"project/tick-tock-its-math-oclock/9226003/","projectTitle":"Tick-Tock, It's Math O'Clock!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stuff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9051062_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721336793994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9051062"},{"teacherId":9051062,"projectId":9045001,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous contribution to our project. Your support has been instrumental in preparing our classroom for a successful school year, and I wanted to share with you a more personal look at how your donations have been put to use.\r\n\r\nThis project was mainly for me, the teacher, to get the classroom ready for my students. I have been using the new laminator, cutter, and label maker to create materials that are durable, organized, and engaging for my students. I've taken some pictures of me using the new equipment, and I'm excited to share them with you.\r\n\r\nThe laminator protects and preserves my teaching materials. I've laminated everything from flashcards and learning games to classroom signs and student work. This means that when students use these materials, they'll last all year long, and they won't get ripped or damaged. This saves me time and allows the students to handle the materials without me worrying about them getting destroyed.\r\n\r\nThe cutter allows me to create precise, clean cuts on everything from construction paper to card stock. This makes my lesson materials look professional and neat, which is important for creating a welcoming and organized learning environment. I've used it to make bulletin board letters, shape cutouts for geometry lessons, and more. This makes it easier for me to prepare materials that are ready to use and look great.\r\n\r\nThe label maker has been a game changer for organizing our classroom. I've labeled everything from supply bins and book baskets to student desks and cubbies. This makes it easy for students to find what they need and put things back in their proper place. A well organized classroom helps us all stay focused on learning, and it teaches students the important life skill of staying organized.\r\n\r\nWhile the kids haven't been in the classroom with this new gear yet, they've already seen the impact! The materials I've been creating are more colorful, engaging, and professional-looking than ever before. For them, the most exciting part will be seeing the new learning games, puzzles, and interactive displays I've been able to create. They'll also be excited about the clear, easy-to-read labels that help them take ownership of their classroom space.","fullyFundedDate":1746785924479,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-support-a-thriving-classroom/9045001/","projectTitle":"Tools to Support a Thriving Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stuff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9051062_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721336793994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9051062"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56254","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":590,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.0,"schoolId":56254,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edythe & Lloyd Katz Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edythe & Lloyd Katz Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/edythe-lloyd-katz-elementary-school/56254"}
