Beginning a new school year with this beautiful, bright new rug was a dream come true. Parents, families, staff, and former students have all told me how beautiful it is and how much brightens up the room. After our first day, when I asked my students their favorite part of school so far, more than one said \"the ABC rug!\" This rug has done all that I hoped it would: serves as a meeting spot for us as a community and offers a safe space for all where we express our feelings and have fun together as a classroom family! Thank you, thank you, from myself and my 21 happy and eager kindergarten learners.","fullyFundedDate":1753984330987,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-pollocks-class-needs-a-new-rug/9493171/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Pollock's Class Needs a New Rug!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pollock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10090181"},{"teacherId":9974802,"projectId":9205123,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our students and their families felt truly celebrated!

I used the gift card to purchase essential, teacher-created resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, and the impact has been immediate and profound. Many of you are accustomed to using powerful technology in your own lives, and I want to explain how this \"technology\" is revolutionizing learning in my classroom: it allows me to instantly provide highly differentiated, quality instruction that addresses the wide variety of English skill levels I manage daily. Instead of spending hours creating ten versions of a single lesson, I can quickly download engaging, pre-built activities that support a 2nd grader struggling with vocabulary and an 8th grader mastering complex sentence structure—all focused on the same core content.\r\n\r\nSpecifically, the ELL Newcomer curriculum bundle has been a game-changer for my 5th-grade students who arrive with little to no English experience. This comprehensive 28-week resource covers all four language domains: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. It includes engaging, daily, step-by-step lesson plans. The clear layout and consistent routine build confidence for both me and the students, allowing them to know exactly what to expect each week. Because the materials use a hands-on, holistic approach with plenty of visuals, vocabulary, and games, language learning happens in a natural and exciting way, which enables our newcomers to progress quickly and master essential English skills in a comfortable environment.\r\n\r\nUltimately, your gift directly increases my capacity to deliver personalized instruction. By using resources created by veteran teachers, my students get engaging, best-in-class materials that are perfectly tailored to help them build their foundational English skills while still learning crucial content material. Thank you again for investing in their future success and giving them the tools they need to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1746730590116,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-activities-help-students-succee/9089280/","projectTitle":"Engaging Activities Help Students Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fisher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5942412_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598551025294","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5942412"},{"teacherId":4271266,"projectId":9231707,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) books, for my second graders. My students are gaining important tools to better understand themselves and their emotions. These books have opened the door to meaningful conversations about kindness, empathy, self-regulation, and friendship. My students were so excited when I opened the box and showed them all of the wonderful new books. My students immediately asked to look at them/read them with their friends. The next 45 minutes were spent reading, talking about the text, and sharing books. \r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful changes I've seen is how students now talk more openly about their emotions. During class discussions and read-alouds, students are connecting with characters who feel nervous, excited, angry, or sad—and learning that it's okay to feel that way too. These stories have helped them build stronger relationships, feel more confident in themselves, and create a classroom environment with respect and kindness. Your support has made a meaningful difference in their emotional growth, and I am truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1744419617451,"projectUrl":"project/the-heart-mind-library/9231707/","projectTitle":"The Heart & Mind Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vita","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4271266_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1508102629794","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4271266"},{"teacherId":4271266,"projectId":8827572,"letterContent":"On behalf of my second graders and myself, I wanted to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation towards our monthly Scholastic magazines.

Students worked in partnerships enjoying the article and extensions that went along with it. \r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.

They allow them to have the movement they need while still participating in the classroom. They no longer need to leave the class for their movement breaks. \r\n\r\nThe stools are very sturdy and will last for years to come.
