While I was out on FMLA, your kindness allowed my scholars to have access to meaningful and engaging resources, and that support means more than I can fully express.\r\n\r\nThe Teachers Pay Teachers gift card allowed me to create hands-on activities tailored to scholars with diverse learning needs while still keeping learning fun, engaging, and visually exciting. These resources have made a noticeable difference in both participation and confidence within our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe beanbag has quickly become a favorite among my scholars. When my first graders saw it, they jumped with excitement! It provides wonderful flexible seating that supports comfort, focus, and emotional regulation — and, if I'm being honest, it gives me a small break sometimes, too. It has truly become a valued part of our classroom environment.\r\n\r\nOur hearts and brains are overfilled with gratefulness for your generosity and thoughtfulness. Thank you for investing in my scholars and helping create a classroom where every child feels supported and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760624004088,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-hearts-building-bright-minds-a/9591062/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Hearts: Building Bright Minds and Safe Spaces","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Girouard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10175493"},{"teacherId":9788943,"projectId":9555717,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, the Asencio Oasis is officially a reality—and I cannot thank you enough for making this space possible.\r\n\r\nYour support helped transform an idea into a calm, welcoming environment where students can regulate, reflect, and reset. The materials you funded are already being used daily by students who need a moment to breathe, ground themselves, or feel safe enough to rejoin learning. What may look like simple supplies on paper have become powerful tools for emotional regulation, connection, and growth.\r\n\r\nI've already seen students independently choose strategies from the Oasis to calm their bodies, manage big feelings, and return to class more focused and confident. For many of them, this space communicates something incredibly important: you are allowed to need support, and you deserve a place that helps you feel okay.\r\n\r\nAs a school psychologist, creating environments that support students' emotional well-being is essential—and your donation directly contributed to that mission. The Asencio Oasis is not just a space; it's a message of care, dignity, and belief in our students' ability to thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for being part of something that will continue to make a meaningful difference every day.","fullyFundedDate":1760623920024,"projectUrl":"project/the-asencio-oasis/9555717/","projectTitle":"The Asencio Oasis","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Asencio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9788943"},{"teacherId":4028158,"projectId":9786527,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of snacks and sweet treats for our students and staff.

Having organized supplies, clean materials, and designated tools for group work made our space feel more functional and easier to navigate. We put everything to use right away during our math centers. One of our first activities was a small-group project where students created visual models to show different multiplication strategies, and the new materials helped them stay organized and focused.\r\n\r\nSince then, I've seen a clear difference in how students use the space. They are taking more responsibility for keeping materials in good condition, transitioning between tasks more smoothly, and participating more confidently in collaborative activities. The overall environment feels calmer and more efficient, which has supported their engagement during independent and partner work.\r\n\r\nThese resources will continue to play a big role as we move into our next set of units, especially hands-on math tasks and upcoming STEM activities. Students will be using the materials to build models, create visual representations, and support their group discussions.

All three of our classrooms have introduced the aquaponic and hydroponic tanks to our students. We just learned about living things and our scholars were able to use that knowledge to be involved in a deeper discussion about how the aquaponic tank allows the fish and plant to survive together in symbiotic way. Most recently, our scholars were able to experience tasting lettuce that we grew in the hydroponic growing system. It was very exciting to watch their expressions in seeing the roots grow. For most of them, it was the first time seeing roots from a plant so now when we discuss the life cycle of a plant, our scholars can make connections based on this experience.
