Your generosity has brought an incredible burst of excitement into our classroom. The toys and rewards for our class store--brick building sets, magic wand pencils, stuffed sharks and turtles, fun pens, blind- bag boxes, and notebooks--have already sparked so much joy among my students.\r\n\r\nThese items do more than motivate students; they help build positive habits, reinforce effort, and create a supportive classroom culture where hard work is noticed and celebrated. My students are already talking about which rewards they're saving up for, and it's wonderful to see them so engaged, proud, and determined.\r\n\r\nThe class store is also strengthening my students' goal setting and decision making skills. They are learning to save, plan, and budget their class money.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for choosing to support my students. Your kindness truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1759940945810,"projectUrl":"project/dollars-and-cents/9714211/","projectTitle":"Dollars And Cents","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Proctor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2529459_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483025808392","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/susann-proctor"},{"teacherId":9285958,"projectId":9375291,"letterContent":"This project has already been such a great success! The items arrived just in time for my lesson on Dot Day-inspired by the book The Dot. So, we were able to do an art project with the watercolors, which the students absolutely loved! The next library class, we did centers with one of the Pete the Cat games, the Storytelling Dominoes, and one of the collaborative posters, using the colored pencils. The kids and I have been having a wonderful time incorporating these activities into library time. \r\n\r\nAnother fantastic aspect of this project is I have been able to utilize some of these items for small interventions that I do. We've learned about fractions using Don't Break the Ice and worked on expanding our vocabulary while we played Tell Tales. \r\n\r\nI am so incredibly grateful for your donations to my project.

These supplies will enhance my students' educational opportunities. They were surprised and excited to see all the new puzzles. They liked trying to fit the pieces back together. I loved watching them communicate and help each other as they were working on the puzzles.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic boards are a favorite with the younger students. They love how the magnetic pen brings up the little balls to the surface of the letters they trace. Then they are able to push the balls back down as they trace the letters with their fingers. The younger students also love the blocks as they practice using pinching fingers, and lacing the caterpillar through the holes.\r\n\r\nAll of the students love the Kinetic Sand and the other sensory bins with the colored rice and water beads. They love the feel and texture as they search the bins for missing letters, numbers, and/or words.\r\n\r\nWe haven't had time yet to use the other items, but the students are very excited and can't wait.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my students!","fullyFundedDate":1750787028652,"projectUrl":"project/activities-build-cognition-and-developme/9344226/","projectTitle":"Activities Build Cognition and Development","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Proctor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2529459_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483025808392","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/susann-proctor"},{"teacherId":7059806,"projectId":9545905,"letterContent":"This project has brought so much joy into my classroom. The kids are loving the games they get to play. The best part of it all is that they are learning so much just by playing the games and they don't realize it. This gives me the ability to push them harder without having to bore them to death with constant teaching. \r\n\r\nThe pop-it multiplication table top manipulative has been a game changer. It gives the students the confidence needed to push forward and never give up. It has helped my tactile learners as they get to pop and touch the numbers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for everything and all the donations that you made towards my little class.","fullyFundedDate":1755703099548,"projectUrl":"project/multiplication-mayhem/9545905/","projectTitle":"Multiplication Mayhem!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7059806_orig.jpg?crop=2086,2086,x0,y417&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1579643937067","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tyler-wood"},{"teacherId":7059806,"projectId":9263730,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation that you made for my classroom.

New projects are always so exciting and this one has brought a lot of excitement. The students at my school absolutely love the Maker Space.

You get the kids' stamp of approval! \r\n\r\nI was also able to restock the pipe cleaners and cardboard tubes, which are by far the most loved items in the Maker Space.

Dynamic shelving, and specifically displaying books in bins and forward facing, have been shown to boost book circulation. I am already seeing that in my library. The kids are instantly attracted to the bins and are checking those books out. Books that have sat on the shelves untouched are now getting checked out more regularly. \r\n\r\nI have not been able to use the tote bags yet, but I will be once school starts.

You helped me provide this!\r\n\r\nHaving the access to snacks during the school day supports students' physical and mental well-being. It helps maintain energy levels and improves focus, especially during long stretches between meals. Students who are not hungry are more likely to stay engaged, participate in class, and perform better academically. Nutrient-rich snacks can also stabilize mood and behavior, reducing irritability and disruptions. Additionally, offering snacks fosters a more inclusive environment by supporting students who may face food insecurity at home.\r\n\r\nThe students who have used the snacks this year were surprised I even offered it to them. They were glad to have something during that time between breakfast and lunch and have an afternoon snack.
