My students have loved being able to easily find the coloring supplies they need, and are better able to keep it all on their desk in the little boxes that you all helped supply. The students have truly loved the bouncy bands on the chairs and had a great time helping to put them on all the chairs. I had a class of kids create color patterns in each row with the bands to spice up the classroom. When other students came in they got so excited to see the new additions. Not only did you all supply our classroom with items, but you also gifted my students new lessons from Teachers Pay Teachers with the gift card. My students love new and engaging materials, and I love being able to help support other teachers with my purchase.\r\nThe addition of these gifted materials has made a huge impact on the way our year started. I thank you so much for being a part of this and helping me as a teacher give my very deserving students the best year yet.

The new carpet has created a comfortable space for my students to create, learn, and to feel safe.\r\n\r\nAnother amazing addition to our classroom thanks to your donation were the new markers, colored pencils, and the dry erase board! The markers and colored pencils allow my students to create and demonstrate their artistic skills in our learning environment. The dry erase board has turned review games into a high-energy event. Students have turned review into a high - speed race to see who will win!\r\n\r\nLastly, the Swiffer Wet Jet has been a life saver! It keeps the space fresh and ready for the next activity without losing learning time.\r\n\r\nAll together, these tools have helped make our classroom cleaner, more colorful, and more inviting, which has boosted student engagement and pride in our learning space.","fullyFundedDate":1746786463155,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-future-minds-help-us-create-a-c/9139617/","projectTitle":"Fueling Future Minds: Help Us Create a Classroom of Possibilities!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9924105"},{"teacherId":9866791,"projectId":9084454,"letterContent":"Our sensory room has had a powerful impact on our students, providing a safe, calming space that supports their emotional and sensory needs. It has quickly become a trusted place where students can de-escalate during moments of stress and overwhelm, and it also serves as a motivating reward they look forward to earning. When they first saw the room, their reactions were full of pure joy and surprise—they were truly amazed by the space, and many couldn't even pick a favorite item because they loved it all. The sensory room has created a positive shift in our classroom environment, and our next step is to build on that momentum by developing task boxes for sensory play that further engage students in purposeful, soothing activities.","fullyFundedDate":1739374634475,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-room/9084454/","projectTitle":"Sensory Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rogers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9866791_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733507799699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9866791"},{"teacherId":9924105,"projectId":9114565,"letterContent":"Words cannot express how grateful I am for the wonderful donations for our classroom!
