Your kindness has truly made a difference in our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nMy students were so surprised and excited when our new rug was delivered! They absolutely love working on the rug during reading time and when playing learning games. It has quickly become a favorite gathering spot where students feel comfortable, focused, and excited to learn together. The soft fabric and beautiful colors add a sense of warmth and coziness to our classroom, making it a welcoming space where students feel safe and engaged.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is not just a place to learn, but a place where students enjoy collaborating, sharing ideas, and building a love of learning. We are so grateful for your generosity and for investing in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make our classroom an even more special place for students to grow and learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760734553034,"projectUrl":"project/every-reader-needs-a-cozy-spot/9668034/","projectTitle":"Every Reader Needs a Cozy Spot!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gibbons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5700139_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534353769959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/c-blash"},{"teacherId":5709264,"projectId":9605088,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for supporting our classroom by funding materials from our project, \"Classroom Essentials Needed for Amazing Learning!\" Your kindness and generosity have made such a positive impact on my third graders and the environment we've created together.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, our classroom is filled with vibrant learning tools that inspire creativity, teamwork, and joy every day. The Play-Doh has become a favorite for hands-on learning during our word study and math activities — students love sculpting arrays and spelling words in a fun, tactile way. The Expo dry-erase markers are used constantly during math problem-solving and small-group instruction, allowing every student to confidently share their thinking and erase mistakes with ease as they learn.\r\n\r\nThe FrogTape has helped us transform our classroom space, making learning stations and anchor charts organized and engaging. The glue sticks have been perfect for interactive notebooks and craft projects, keeping our classroom running smoothly without the usual \"sticky situations.\" The snack packs of Goldfish and Cheez-Its have provided much-needed nourishment for students who need an extra boost during our busy school days — your contribution helped ensure that every child could focus on learning rather than hunger.\r\n\r\nWe also can't forget the fidget toys and squishies, which have been a wonderful tool for students who need a moment to self-regulate or refocus. These simple items have helped foster a calmer, more inclusive learning space where every student can thrive.\r\n\r\nFinally, our shared reading of The Hundred Dresses has sparked meaningful discussions about kindness, empathy, and standing up for others — lessons that go far beyond the classroom walls. Watching my students make those connections has been incredibly rewarding, and it's all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just supplies; you've given my students the tools, comfort, and inspiration to learn with joy every single day. From the bottom of my heart — and from all of my students who benefit daily from your kindness — thank you for believing in us and investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1756057766454,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-needed-for-amazing/9605088/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials Needed for Amazing Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Myers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5709264"},{"teacherId":6664428,"projectId":8875554,"letterContent":"I am greatly humbled by your kindness and generosity. Receiving this donation has enabled me to push my student's reading to another level. We are participating in teacher-led and student-led book clubs for my advanced readers. \r\n\r\nThe students actively are engaged with their reading and often read ahead of the assigned pages because they are so engrossed in their books. We have started on both Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. The students absolutely love both.\r\n\r\nThrough this donation, I have been able to spread a love of reading to my students who have enormous potential and imaginations.
