My students use these materials often! \r\nWe use the dry erase pockets daily. They each have one in their chair pocket along with a marker so they can practice tracing/writing their name and other fine motor skills. The extras we use for different learning games or sign up sheets for very popular centers in our classroom. \r\nThe Alice in Wonderland decorations really make our classroom come together. Just the other day a bus driver was walking down the hallway and commented on how our room looks like a wonderland. \r\nI am also extremely thankful for the class pack of water bottles. It has been a life saver having a water bottle for each child to keep in the classroom in case they don't bring one that day. Having that back up has helped me avoid multiple meltdowns! \r\nI'm sorry for being late with my thank you note, the beginning of the year has been hectic but wonderful. Thank you for all your help in making the beginning of the school year run smoothly.","fullyFundedDate":1750773730893,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-new-year/9380533/","projectTitle":"Fresh New Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stettler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7675846_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1608231231502","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7675846"},{"teacherId":9775514,"projectId":9053858,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations to my school. Our district requires uniforms and they are not affordable for all families. Your donations has given dozens of uniforms to students in need.\r\nWe keep a uniform closet open to all families especially many who recently lost employment.

This is rare for students in my community and we are so happy you helped us be able to provide this service at our school.","fullyFundedDate":1746787307352,"projectUrl":"project/uniforms-for-students-in-need/9053858/","projectTitle":"Uniforms for Students in Need","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Poepplein","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9775514"},{"teacherId":9775514,"projectId":8816486,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity.

These are all necessary items that often are very expensive for families. \r\n \r\nOur social worker will hand out the kits to our families in need. I know they appreciate any help they can get. We were able to provide families with shower items, nail care items, lotions and more.

While I am taking courses to teach myself Spanish, the translator is going to be a huge help.

Each student was thrilled to receive their very own bag, and it was heartwarming to see them immediately start organizing their supplies with big smiles on their faces. The bags have made a huge difference—now students can easily access their materials without needing to leave their seats, which helps keep us focused and ready to learn. It may seem like a small change, but for us, it's been a game-changer in staying organized and feeling prepared every day.\r\n\r\nOne sweet moment happened during a writing lesson when a student said, \"I love my chair bag—it's like my own little desk helper!\" Thanks to your generous support, our classroom feels more calm, organized, and student-centered. As we continue working on our storytelling unit, students are keeping their drafts and writing tools right in their bags, ready to grab and go. We're so grateful for your kindness—it's made our daily routines smoother and learning more joyful.
