Your kindness has brought excitement, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility to our students each day. Having a class pet has created meaningful learning opportunities, allowing students to connect lessons in science, empathy, and cooperation to real-life experiences. The joy and pride they feel when caring for our pet have truly transformed our classroom into a more nurturing and engaging environment.\r\n\r\nThe impact of a class pet goes far beyond the daily routine of feeding or observation—it helps students build social and emotional skills such as patience, teamwork, and compassion. Our pet has become a calming presence and a reminder of the importance of kindness and care for all living things. None of this would have been possible without your generosity, and we are deeply grateful for your support in helping our students grow both academically and emotionally.","fullyFundedDate":1758830494050,"projectUrl":"project/help-wanted-for-class-pet/9592262/","projectTitle":"Help Wanted for Class Pet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cronin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10046497_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755192933693","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10046497"},{"teacherId":1761676,"projectId":9151592,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for gifting a sense of ownership to my multilingual learner (ML) students.
