Because of your generosity, we now have the materials needed to create a hands-on, engaging, and inclusive learning environment that supports every child — every single day.\r\n\r\nResearch consistently shows that students in well-resourced classrooms perform significantly better than those without access to basic materials. According to a 2023 report from The Education Trust, classrooms that are equipped with essential supplies and instructional tools see a 25% increase in student engagement and an 18% improvement in comprehension skills across early elementary grades. Thanks to your support, my students are part of that success story.\r\n\r\nFrom the very first week of school, your donation has allowed us to bring our classroom to life. One of the most meaningful moments was when students created self-portraits using crayons and markers that matched their own skin tones. This simple activity empowered them to represent themselves authentically, and the portraits now hang proudly in our room. When students see themselves reflected in the materials they use, research shows they develop higher levels of self-esteem and a stronger sense of belonging — both of which are key drivers of academic growth and motivation.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has also supported our science instruction in powerful ways. We've been able to create colorful, student-centered anchor charts for each of our science units, from weather and animal habitats to the five senses and life cycles. These charts serve as ongoing visual references that reinforce vocabulary and key concepts. Studies show that anchor charts, especially when built collaboratively, can boost retention by up to 37%. Having the materials to make these tools accessible and engaging has led to noticeable improvement in how students recall and apply new knowledge during discussions and assessments.\r\n\r\nIn literacy, we've used your donated materials to make small-group instruction more effective and hands-on. As we explore grammar skills such as identifying nouns and building complete sentences, students use whiteboards, markers, and sticky notes to interact with language in a meaningful way. According to the National Reading Panel, small-group instruction becomes twice as effective when students can manipulate and interact with materials to reinforce learning. These tools have made grammar more engaging and accessible for every learner in our classroom.\r\n\r\nOn a daily basis, your donation supports the smooth flow of learning activities — from day-to-day assignments in math and writing, to literacy centers that keep students actively engaged in learning through movement and exploration. Activities like \"Write the Room,\" where students move around the classroom searching for words and sentence stems, have become classroom favorites. This movement-based learning taps into their energy and keeps them focused, while strengthening core reading and writing skills. When students have consistent access to materials, studies show they perform up to 30% better on formative assessments.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, we've been able to maintain strong communication with families by using supplies to send newsletters, learning updates, and student work home. This connection is essential. Family engagement in early elementary school has been linked to improved attendance, stronger behavior, and greater academic success — and your support helps us keep that partnership strong.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our first graders are off to a strong and confident start. They are creating, thinking, collaborating, and exploring every single day — because they have the tools to do so. Your generosity has removed barriers and replaced them with opportunities. Thank you for investing not only in our classroom, but in the potential of each child within it. You've helped us build the kind of classroom where learning is active, joyful, and meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1746748310591,"projectUrl":"project/consumables-that-count-supporting-activ/9277910/","projectTitle":"Consumables That Count: Supporting Active Learning Every Day","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rhodes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8507960_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716518012755","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8507960"},{"teacherId":8507960,"projectId":9235660,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, \"Storytime Read Alouds: Help Us Fill Our Classroom with Books!\" Because of your kindness, I have been able to read two to three books a day to my students — and the impact has been nothing short of incredible.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment we start storytime, the students are fully engaged and genuinely enjoying every page. Storytime has become a joyful, calming, and deeply engaging part of our daily routine — something they eagerly anticipate each day. It's amazing to see their eyes light up with curiosity, excitement, and wonder as the stories unfold. What's even more inspiring is that listening to these stories has motivated many of them to become readers themselves. They are now asking thoughtful questions, exploring books independently during free time, and showing a newfound curiosity about the world around them through literature.\r\n\r\nSince the beginning of the school year, I have already seen a remarkable improvement in their listening skills, their stamina for sitting and focusing on longer texts, and, most importantly, their passion for reading. These gains are not just academic; they are personal victories for many of these children, building confidence and a sense of accomplishment.\r\n\r\nThe importance of your support goes beyond our classroom walls. Research shows that children from low-income families hear 30 million fewer words by age three than their higher-income peers. This significant gap in early language exposure can dramatically affect their language development, vocabulary growth, and overall readiness for school. Read-aloud experiences like ours help to bridge this divide by exposing students to rich language, new ideas, and varied vocabulary — all of which build the foundation for lifelong learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is providing more than just books; it's creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel valued and inspired. It's helping build the essential skills they need to succeed academically and personally. Your support is making it possible for these students to develop not just literacy skills but a true love of reading that will benefit them throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of stories and the importance of early literacy. Thank you for investing in my students' futures by providing them with access to books that open doors to new worlds, cultures, and experiences. Your contribution is helping to foster imagination, creativity, and critical thinking — gifts that last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful to have you as partners in this journey. Together, we are making a lasting difference in the lives of these children — one story at a time.\r\n\r\n\"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents — and their teachers.\"\r\n— Emilie Buchwald","fullyFundedDate":1744240428851,"projectUrl":"project/storytime-read-alouds-help-us-fill-our/9235660/","projectTitle":"Storytime Read Alouds: Help Us Fill Our Classroom with Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rhodes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8507960_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716518012755","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8507960"},{"teacherId":8507960,"projectId":9207501,"letterContent":"We are beyond grateful for your generous support of our classroom project, \"Essential Consumable Supplies for Daily Crafting and Creative Learning Fun!\" Your kindness has unlocked a world of creativity, exploration, and joyful learning for our students. Because of you, our classroom is bursting with color, imagination, and hands-on experiences that make learning come alive every day.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the supplies, our students have eagerly dived into a variety of artistic projects that connect deeply with their lessons and interests. One of our first projects was inspired by the vibrant work of Vincent van Gogh. Using the watercolors you provided, the children painted radiant sunflowers, exploring the rich yellows, oranges, and greens of the flowers while learning about Van Gogh's unique style and his impact on the art world. Watching their faces light up as they experimented with blending colors and brush strokes was truly magical.\r\n\r\nBeyond famous art, the watercolors have become a daily tool for self-expression. Our students painted self-portraits, reflecting on their own features and personalities. This project encouraged not only artistic skills but also self-awareness and confidence. Each portrait is a beautiful testament to how our students see themselves and want to share their stories with others.\r\n\r\nThe watercolors also beautifully complement our writing assignments. After writing short stories and poems, students create illustrations to bring their words to life. It's inspiring to see how their writing and art skills grow together—how the colors they choose enhance the emotions and details in their stories. This creative integration deepens their learning and makes writing more meaningful.\r\n\r\nIn addition to painting, the clay you donated has opened up exciting new possibilities. Our current favorite project is crafting dinosaur fossils. Students learn about prehistoric creatures in science class, then get hands-on by shaping clay into fossil imprints. This tactile experience helps solidify their understanding of fossils, paleontology, and history in a fun and memorable way. It's incredible to see their concentration and excitement as they press leaves, bones, or shells into the clay, creating their own \"ancient\" artifacts.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have allowed us to make crafting a regular part of our curriculum, rather than an occasional treat. Daily access to quality materials means that students can explore their creativity freely, experiment with different techniques, and build fine motor skills and patience through artistic practice. For many students, these moments of creative play are also powerful opportunities for self-expression, relaxation, and confidence building.\r\n\r\nYour support has done more than provide paint, paper, and clay—it has enriched our classroom culture and helped us foster a love of learning that goes beyond textbooks. You have helped nurture creativity, critical thinking, and a sense of wonder in our young learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of art and creativity to transform education. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our classroom and on the hearts and minds of every student who picks up a brush or molds a piece of clay. We are deeply grateful for your support and excited to continue creating, learning, and growing with these wonderful supplies.","fullyFundedDate":1746699626586,"projectUrl":"project/essential-consumable-supplies-for-daily/9207501/","projectTitle":"Essential Consumable Supplies for Daily Crafting and Creative Learning Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rhodes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8507960_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716518012755","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8507960"},{"teacherId":9682479,"projectId":9276720,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project, \"Equipped to Excel: Resources for Math Achievement.\" Because of your kindness, our first-grade class now has the tools we need to strengthen foundational math skills, build confidence, and foster a love for learning through meaningful, hands-on instruction.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students eagerly gathered around as we unpacked boxes filled with colorful math manipulatives, games, and hands-on learning tools. Their eyes lit up, and many asked, \"Can we play with them now?\" To them, it didn't feel like work—it felt like fun. That's the magic of having the right resources: students don't just learn better—they enjoy learning more.\r\n\r\nSince then, we've incorporated these materials into our daily math centers, which are now the highlight of our morning routine. Every day, our class rotates through different stations, one of which is small group instruction with me, their teacher. In this setting, I'm able to provide targeted support based on each student's skill level—whether we're reviewing number bonds, introducing place value, or practicing math facts. The resources you provided make these sessions much more effective and engaging.\r\n\r\nAt other centers, students use the new materials for hands-on exploration, independent practice, and peer collaboration. For example, during our \"Math Game Zone,\" students use number spinners, dice games, and place value charts to reinforce what we've learned in small groups. In our \"Build and Solve\" center, they work with manipulatives like base ten blocks and ten-frames to model their thinking and solve problems in a concrete way.\r\n\r\nThese tools have allowed me to differentiate instruction more effectively, giving students what they need in the way they learn best. I've seen students who once hesitated during math time now raise their hands proudly to share their thinking. One student who used to struggle with number sense told me, \"I get it now—it's like a puzzle!\" That sense of clarity and confidence is something we strive for every day, and you helped make it possible.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide materials—it supported a classroom model that works. With small group instruction, I can reteach, challenge, or extend lessons in a way that whole-group instruction often doesn't allow. While I work with a small group, the rest of the class is meaningfully engaged in centers that reinforce core concepts and encourage independent learning. This structure helps keep all students on track and maximizes every instructional minute.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're preparing for our \"Math in the Real World\" project, where students will apply their math skills to solve real-life problems like budgeting for a classroom store or measuring ingredients for a recipe. The tools you've provided—especially those that support number sense, addition and subtraction strategies, and measurement—will be crucial in helping students succeed in this next step.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students feel empowered, capable, and excited about math. You've helped us build a learning environment where everyone has the chance to grow and shine. We are so grateful for your generosity and belief in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1746728482328,"projectUrl":"project/equipped-to-excel-resources-for-math-ac/9276720/","projectTitle":"Equipped to Excel: Resources for Math Achievement","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Stromoski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9682479"},{"teacherId":9682479,"projectId":9239909,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire first-grade class of 25 bright and enthusiastic students, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our project, \"Unlocking Imaginations: Building Reading Adventures with Books and Learning Centers!\" Your donation has truly transformed our classroom and made a lasting impact on the way our students experience reading and learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our class is now filled with a wide range of books and engaging materials that have allowed us to create a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment. These resources have enabled us to differentiate instruction more effectively than ever before. With readers at many different levels, it's essential that we meet each child where they are—and now, we can. Whether a student is just beginning to recognize sight words or is already reading full sentences, there is something accessible and exciting for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe books you helped provide cover a variety of topics, reading levels, and cultural perspectives, which has been especially valuable in helping every student see themselves reflected in what they read. For some students, it's the first time they've felt truly connected to a story. For others, it's opened a new world of curiosity and imagination. Watching students light up as they connect with characters and stories is something that never gets old—and it's all possible because of your support.\r\n\r\nBeyond just the joy of reading, your donation has given us the tools to scaffold and frontload instruction in ways that significantly improve comprehension and confidence. For example, before beginning a new unit, we now use themed books and learning center activities to introduce key vocabulary and concepts. This early exposure helps build background knowledge, making it easier for students to grasp new material when it's formally taught. It's made a clear difference in student participation and understanding.\r\n\r\nThe addition of hands-on learning centers has also been a game-changer. These centers allow students to explore reading skills through interactive and tactile activities that are both educational and fun. From matching word families with magnetic letters to sequencing stories with picture cards, our students are now learning in ways that speak to multiple learning styles. This hands-on approach maximizes our learning environment by keeping students engaged and motivated throughout the day. Instead of sitting passively, they're up, moving, collaborating, and truly immersed in the learning process.\r\n\r\nMore than just academic growth, we've also seen improvements in student confidence, independence, and excitement about school. Students now look forward to literacy time with joy and curiosity. One student recently said, \"I love when we read because I get to go on an adventure!\" That sense of wonder and engagement is something your generosity has helped create.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than provide books and materials—it has opened doors for our students. You've helped us build a classroom where reading is not just a subject but a meaningful, daily adventure that empowers every child.
