We are expanding our vocabulary, engaging all the senses, and digging deeper into the work. Thank you so much for your contributions towards this project!\r\n\r\nI will attach photos to capture the joy these items have brought us already -- but to say we are grateful is a vast understatement. The students have been asking new questions using their new vocabulary words (ladle, measuring cup, tablespoon, strainer) and developing an expertise and comfort studying tools and work. \r\n\r\nOur other two areas of focus in vocabulary and comprehension this school year are \"The Sun and the Moon\" and \"Birds' Amazing Bodies\". As I continue to get to know students' interests and learning needs, I am excited to plan around continuing the incredible momentum with those units as well. Thanks to this project, we are off to a wonderful start.","fullyFundedDate":1788462915080,"projectUrl":"project/centering-joy-in-learning-with-new-reade/10540946/","projectTitle":"Centering Joy in Learning With New Readers and Learning Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hull","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5919814_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733790681384","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/moira-hull"},{"teacherId":9464450,"projectId":9560454,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and kindness. Because of your support, our classroom now has had a steady supply of healthy snacks that have make a meaningful difference in the daily lives of my middle school students. Your donations have provided much more than food, they have helped create an environment where students can focus, participate, and feel cared for.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on my students' faces when they first saw the snack supply was unforgettable. Many smiled, expressed their gratitude, and immediately asked if everyone would have the opportunity to receive something. Several students simply said, \"Thank you!\" while others shared that they had skipped breakfast or had a long time before dinner. Knowing that they have access to a snack during the school day gives them a sense of comfort and security. It also reinforces that our classroom is a place where they are supported both academically and personally.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has touched our classroom in ways that extend far beyond what you may have imagined. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their success. Your compassion reminds them that there are people in the community who genuinely care about their well-being and education.

Because of your support, my students with special needs can now navigate their computers with ease and confidence.\r\nYour contribution has provided essential tools that remove the physical and sensory barriers that once made technology overwhelming. For my students, this means they can finally participate in testing without the weight of frustration or anxiety. Instead of struggling with navigation, they can focus entirely on showing what they know and demonstrating their true potential.\r\nSeeing the smiles on their faces as they work independently is a gift that words cannot fully capture.

Gone are the days when students travel back and forth across the classroom to sharpen their pencils. Only to return to their seats and have to reset their brain back into the assignment.
