Because of your kindness, my students are starting the school year with the tools they need to learn, explore, and create.\r\n\r\nWith the Florida heat keeping us indoors for recess, the items you donated have been such a blessing. The exercise dice have given my preschoolers a fun and active way to move around the classroom, even when we can't go outside. The Play-Doh has sparked their imagination while also strengthening their fine motor skills. And the crayons—oh, what a hit they've been! My little artists light up every time they get to color, and it has quickly become one of their favorite parts of the day.\r\n\r\nYour donation of dry erase markers with erasers on top was especially impactful on the very first day of school. My students practiced tracing lines with so much excitement, and later they used them on their ten-frames to proudly show me their numbers. These small but powerful moments are building the foundation for their learning journey, and it wouldn't have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\nA special thank you to the Bezos Family Foundation for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your generosity makes a difference every single day in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1750171992627,"projectUrl":"project/basics-needed/9397445/","projectTitle":"Basics Needed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050361_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750169344332","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10050361"},{"teacherId":9582096,"projectId":8479820,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a thriving community of readers! The new books you helped us receive are doing more than filling our shelves—they're filling our days with curiosity, conversation, and growth.\r\n\r\nMany of these texts introduce essential early literacy skills. We're exploring story elements like characters, setting, and plot, while also diving into foundational reading strategies such as decoding, fluency, and making predictions. The books have sparked meaningful discussions about themes like kindness, problem-solving, and courage, which helps my students connect reading to real life.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is both a shared and independent experience. We read aloud as a class, buddy-read in pairs, and curl up for quiet reading time with books that match each student's level and interest. It's joyful and focused—exactly what you'd hope to see in a learning space!\r\n\r\nOne student who's really blossomed with these new books is a first grader who once hesitated to pick up anything with too many words. Now, with access to decodable texts and high-interest stories, he's eagerly reading aloud to his classmates and proudly choosing new titles during our book choice time. Watching his confidence soar has been one of the best moments of the year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in the power of books—and in our kids.","fullyFundedDate":1723646103613,"projectUrl":"project/funding-our-classroom-library/8479820/","projectTitle":"Funding Our Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brannon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9582096_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719951624408","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9582096"},{"teacherId":8021586,"projectId":8961715,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your generous support in providing our 3rd-grade classroom with headphones through DonorsChoose.

The ability to work independently has boosted their confidence and helped them stay focused, especially during small group instruction and testing.\r\n\r\nOur classroom is now a more efficient, quieter, and focused learning environment thanks to your kindness.
