Because of your generosity, my students now enjoy cozy rugs that define our learning spaces and a push vacuum that helps us keep our room clean and comfortable every day.\r\n\r\nThe rugs have truly transformed our classroom. They give students a soft, inviting place to sit during whole-group lessons, small groups, and independent reading. Having a defined, cozy space helps my first graders stay focused, feel safe, and engage more fully in learning—especially during longer lessons.\r\n\r\nThe push vacuum has also been a big hit (and not just with me!). My students take pride in helping keep our classroom clean, which builds responsibility and ownership of their learning environment. A tidy classroom supports better focus, fewer distractions, and a sense of respect for our shared space.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my classroom feels more like a home-away-from-home—a place where students feel comfortable taking risks, trying new things, and growing academically and socially. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create an environment where learning truly thrives.","fullyFundedDate":1758202759836,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom-please/9544810/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bancroft","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9585682_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739940431591","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9585682"},{"teacherId":9585682,"projectId":9120500,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nWow—thank you so much for believing in my students and in the power of books! Because of your generosity, my first graders now have access to a beautiful variety of stories that make them light up with excitement during reading time.\r\n\r\nWhen our new books arrived, the classroom buzzed with joy. Students were shouting out titles, hugging books like old friends, and immediately asking, \"Can we start reading now?!\" We've built a cozy reading corner where they can dive into adventures, learn about new topics, and grow their confidence as readers every single day.\r\n\r\nThese books aren't just stories—they're tools for imagination, empathy, and self-discovery. My students are learning that reading isn't just something we have to do—it's something we get to do. And that shift in mindset is priceless.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my class the chance to fall in love with reading. Your kindness and support will continue to inspire them long after these pages are turned.","fullyFundedDate":1746785989113,"projectUrl":"project/new-books-to-read-please/9120500/","projectTitle":"New Books to Read Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bancroft","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9585682_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739940431591","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9585682"},{"teacherId":9585682,"projectId":8910067,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all that you have done for my students this year. My students and I were able to do wonderful arts and crafts with the resources that were given to us! With the colored paper we were able to make art projects and I was able to color code some of our cvc books for small groups. The students enjoy bright colored books! With the lamination pages I was able to make place value charts, abc resources, math resources and I was able to laminate special things around our classroom! I can even reuse the resources I laminated for my future students as well! It is like the gift that keeps on giving. \r\nThe cleaning supplies were AMAZING!
