The markers and colored pencils will help us in reading, math, science and of course art. The triangular pencils are a must have for all of our academic studies. The tape will help with our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) units. You wouldn't believe how much tape the students use. I love to hang up their writing and art on the walls and windows as well and the clear tape is a \"must have.\" The timers have already been a huge help with our reading groups so I can time them and make sure I get to everybody. We have been using the sheet protectors for math and spelling. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for all of these supplies. We are definitely able to start our year out with the right tools.","fullyFundedDate":1760030673294,"projectUrl":"project/start-the-year-with-the-right-tools/9560591/","projectTitle":"Start the Year With the Right Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. De Luna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1351933_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753401530657","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tdeluna5thgrade"},{"teacherId":9017212,"projectId":9440944,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to our STEM materials. We are using the materials four days a week and the end of the day. The student always look forward to their STEM time where they can create, share ideas, and have some fun. They love to build trains, castles, and designs with all of the materials. I love the moments where I get to sit alongside of them and to build with them. One of the special moments of the year was when I was sitting next to my student who only speaks Chinese and it is hard to communicate. We began building together and he had the biggest smile on his face! We couldn't communicate through words but we could through the activity. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw all of the activities and materials provided they were so happy and thrilled to get their hands on them. We spoke about taking good care of our precious materials. They do a great job of handling them correctly, sharing, and cleaning up so nothing gets broken or lost.\r\n\r\nWe will continue using these all year long and will be building and learning more as we work the out the year.","fullyFundedDate":1752549618144,"projectUrl":"project/stem-for-learning/9440944/","projectTitle":"STEM for Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9017212"},{"teacherId":7863911,"projectId":9755158,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support. Your kind donations made an impact to 60 of our youngest learners in our school. For most of them this is their very first \"school\" experience, so having all of these supplies just enhances their curiosity to learn. They don't realize these \"toys\" that they are having fun with is helping them LEARN! When they are able to make their imagination and creativeness come to live right in front of their face...it brings joy to the teachers but more importantly themselves. \r\n\r\nLike I said earlier, majority of our kids have never experience school, so making it fun (they actually don't know, but they are learning) is a huge stepping stone for their next 13 years of school! The kids don't have access to these items in their own homes, so we are so happy with your support we are able to give them this opportunity.\r\n\r\nThank you so much, and please don't stop now, please continue supporting our future campaigns.

The students use the \"quiet\" pencil sharpeners to sharpen their pencils so that I can continue providing lessons with less distractions. The colorful dry erase markers help us to visualize our ideas in color. \r\n\r\nNext we will be able to make sculptures with the new sculpting tools and use the new glaze to make every sculpture pop with color. \r\n\r\nOur third graders say thank you so, so much for thinking of us.","fullyFundedDate":1752586441722,"projectUrl":"project/visual-and-performing-arts/9269967/","projectTitle":"Visual and Performing Arts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. De Luna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1351933_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753401530657","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tdeluna5thgrade"},{"teacherId":1351933,"projectId":9045561,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating the headphones to my third grade class. They have been super helpful especially as we have begun our CAASP and ELPAC testing with the second language learners. Several of these tests required headphones to listen to an audio of a text and then write a written response. Also students needed to record their responses as well. Our math tests also offer audio so students can listen and understand better what is required of them and having their own headphones helps students have a quiet environment to better focus without having to listen to other student's text being read to them. \r\n\r\nI appreciate you being able to gift these headphones to my class.

A couple of kids pretended they were working at Starbucks and it was funny listening to them place an order like their parents.\r\n\r\nOther centers we were able to create were construction, Italian (pizza and spaghetti), dental, ice cream parlor, grocery and bbq. The adults that walk in to our classroom during these rotation times get a surprise of ice cream scoops, pizza and tasty bbq!
