The new learning games, cleaning supplies, and materials have already made such a meaningful difference in our daily routines and learning environment. My students were so excited when they first walked in and saw everything you would've thought it was a holiday morning! One moment that truly stood out was when a small group gathered around the new mystery box alphabet game and started cheering each other on, helping one another. It was the kind of collaborative, joyful learning moment every teacher hopes for.\r\n\r\nWe've also used the supplies to help decorate and create a warm and welcoming classroom space. The kids helped choose where certain items went, and they took so much pride in helping build a classroom that feels like ours. The cleaning supplies you provided help us keep the classroom tidy and organized, which creates a calmer environment where the students can focus, play, and learn without distractions.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we're now able to begin our next steps in our learning projects with more hands-on activities and small-group centers. My students are especially excited to rotate between the new games during our small group and large group times. Your kindness has helped give them a space where learning feels fun, safe, and supported and that impact will continue well beyond this year.\r\n\r\nThank you again from the bottom of our hearts for believing in our classroom and investing in my students growth.","fullyFundedDate":1753992554841,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-receive-the-supplies-th/9335667/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Receive the Supplies That’s Needed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mheriya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10028199_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746714898574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10028199"},{"teacherId":8802518,"projectId":9286980,"letterContent":"My students have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the new STEM materials.

The open-ended nature of the materials encourages endless creativity, with students building something new and exciting every day.
