These resources make learning more structured and joyful, while also teaching children how to manage transitions and build independence.\r\n\r\nThe use of timers has had a remarkable impact on self‑regulation. Students are learning to wait patiently, take turns, and persist through challenges without constant reminders. Over time, they begin to internalize these skills, carrying them into daily routines at home and school. Thanks to your support, our children are developing resilience, responsibility, and confidence—qualities that will serve them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1753809942429,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-focus-boosting-executive-fu/9492383/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set, Focus!

They gathered around the fraction tiles, circles, and number lines, eager to touch, compare, and experiment. One of my favorite moments was during a lesson on adding unlike fractions—students worked in small groups using the manipulatives to physically build common denominators. Watching them slide pieces together and suddenly shout, \"Oh! Now I get it!\" was the kind of learning moment that every teacher hopes for. These tools have transformed abstract concepts into concrete, hands-on understanding.\r\n\r\nThe manipulatives have also strengthened our lessons on multiplying and dividing fractions. Students have been working on a project where they model real-world scenarios—like sharing recipes or dividing lengths of ribbon—and use the fraction tools to show each step visually. Seeing the operations happen right in front of them has helped even our most hesitant learners gain confidence, and many students now volunteer to demonstrate their thinking using the manipulatives during class discussions.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our unit, the next step is for students to apply what they've learned to solve more complex multi-step problems using both the manipulatives and visual models they create themselves. Thanks to these resources, they're not just memorizing rules, they're truly understanding the \"why\" behind fraction operations. Your support has made our classroom a place where math feels meaningful, accessible, and even fun.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools they need to grow!","fullyFundedDate":1760534655306,"projectUrl":"project/math-manipulatives-for-my-5th-grade-clas/9797148/","projectTitle":"Math Manipulatives for My 5th Grade Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mars","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10303709_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764681009550","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10303709"},{"teacherId":7054909,"projectId":9326646,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing materials for our 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony.

These new texts are doing so much more than filling shelves—they're opening doors to essential reading skills.

Students curl up with book bins during independent reading, pair up for partner reads, and gather on the rug to explore new series together. Our library has become a hub of excitement, with kids trading recommendations, celebrating when they finish a book, and discovering new authors they love. Because we can now offer a wider range of levels and genres, every student can find something that is \"just right\" for them—an experience that builds both confidence and skill.\r\n\r\nI wish you could see the smiles when students browse the new books. One student who previously struggled to stay engaged during reading now races to grab a graphic novel from our new series collection. Another student lights up each time she discovers a nonfiction book that connects to her life, her interests, or her culture. These moments happen every day now, thanks to you.
