The Tetra Tower has been such a fun addition for my kids. The first day we opened it, they all crowded around the table wanting a turn. It was so sweet watching them try to balance the pieces and laugh when everything tipped over.\r\n\r\nOne moment that made me smile was when two of my quieter students teamed up and ended up building the tallest tower of the day. They were so proud of themselves, and it gave them a little boost of confidence I don't always get to see.\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your support—not just for the materials, but because you understand what these little things can do for a classroom. These hands-on activities help kids grow in ways that aren't always easy to measure. Thank you for helping my students learn, try new things, and enjoy school a little more each day.","fullyFundedDate":1760045006245,"projectUrl":"project/sharpening-minds-stem-fun-and-supplies/9748339/","projectTitle":"Sharpening Minds: STEM Fun and Supplies for Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Skelton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4513996_orig.jpg?crop=773,773,x915,y755&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596157156759","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4513996"},{"teacherId":4513996,"projectId":9747577,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom feels more joyful and inviting than ever.

The variety has really helped meet each child right where they are.\r\n\r\nReading time now looks cozy and calm. Students grab a book, pick a little reading buddy, and settle right in. Even some of my more hesitant readers are choosing books faster and staying focused longer because they feel comforted and excited.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a huge difference.

Many of our students rely on audio readers to access grade-level material, and having reliable headphones has given them a new level of independence when completing online lessons and assignments.
