Your support has already begun to reshape our learning environment, bringing both creativity and independence to every student.\r\n\r\nThe easel has become the heart of our instruction. During our morning read-alouds, I post key vocabulary and student questions right on the big writing pad. In our writing workshops, the students draft ideas in front of the class, building confidence as they share their work. Art projects have taken on new life—groups gather at the easel to sketch storyboards for science experiments or design posters for classroom jobs. Watching students collaborate, sketching and problem-solving together, reminds me daily just how powerful a simple teaching tool can be.\r\n\r\nOur new pencil sharpener has also made a tremendous difference. No longer do students need to line up or interrupt the lesson to borrow a sharp pencil. They quietly sharpen and return to work, preserving focus and momentum. This small change has boosted classroom efficiency and fostered responsibility—students take turns caring for the sharpener, and they beam with pride when they keep it clean and ready for use. The result is crisper handwriting, fewer lost minutes, and a stronger sense of ownership over their learning tools.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity. Your gift does more than equip our classroom; it inspires young minds to imagine, create, and take ownership of their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1745847058261,"projectUrl":"project/the-evolution-of-classroom-easels/9171114/","projectTitle":"The Evolution of Classroom Easels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chisholm-Brooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8552130_orig.jpg?crop=1795,1795,x585,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1670131599205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8552130"},{"teacherId":8552130,"projectId":9203634,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous gift of a vibrant classroom carpet.
