The new binders have become an essential part of our daily math routine. Students use them to store notes, practice problems, reference sheets, and their warm-up work all in one place. This small change has made a huge difference—students can now quickly find what they need without scrambling through loose papers or missing assignments.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was the day the binders arrived. Students opened the boxes with so much excitement—they were surprised that something as simple as a binder could feel so special. Several of them immediately began decorating and organizing their materials, proudly showing off how \"official\" and prepared they felt. That sense of ownership motivated them to take greater responsibility for their learning.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building strong math habits. With their binders, students are beginning a unit that requires lots of guided notes, step-by-step practice, and ongoing review. These binders allow them to track their progress, revisit past lessons, and build confidence as they tackle more challenging concepts.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide school supplies—it gave my students a system that helps them stay structured, focused, and proud of their work. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1754689443002,"projectUrl":"project/building-math-skills-one-binder-at-a-tim/9542647/","projectTitle":"Building Math Skills One Binder at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Abarca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9156461_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691346629972","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9156461"},{"teacherId":9156461,"projectId":9406710,"letterContent":"When our students first saw the bulk snacks your donation provided, their faces immediately lit up. The photo above captures the exact moment—they excitedly held up the snacks like a celebration. It was a simple but powerful reminder of how much small gestures can motivate and support them.\r\n\r\nThese snacks have become an essential part of our daily routine. I use them as focus boosters during independent work, small-group activities, and longer problem-solving tasks. One specific moment that stood out was during a challenging lesson: students were starting to lose energy, so we took a brief \"brain break\" and distributed snacks. Within minutes, the room shifted, and students became more alert, engaged, and ready to continue. Your contribution helped transform what could have been a difficult class period into a productive and positive one.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue to use these snacks as fuel in our ongoing units. With state testing and semester reviews coming up, these small supports help maintain focus and reduce stress, especially for students who may not always have access to snacks at home.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just give students something to eat, it created a moment of joy, comfort, and motivation in our classroom.

One specific moment that stood out was during our short-game practice. We set up a station where each player worked on consistency and accuracy using the new balls, and it immediately elevated the focus and quality of the session. The players were able to track their progress more effectively because they had enough equipment for repeated reps without interruption. The protein bars have also been a huge help—our students often come straight from a full school day to practice, so having healthy fuel on hand has noticeably boosted their energy and performance.\r\n\r\nThey were genuinely excited and grateful. Many of them couldn't believe how much equipment we received. Several players immediately asked if they could test out the new balls on the range, and others were excited just knowing they'd finally have enough tees to get through a full season without worrying about shortages. When they saw the protein bars, you could tell it meant a lot—they felt supported, not just as athletes, but as students balancing academics and sports. Overall, their reactions were full of appreciation and motivation.","fullyFundedDate":1762391109445,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-success-gear-snacks-for-our-h/9574029/","projectTitle":"Fueling Success: Gear & Snacks for Our High School Golf","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Striz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3848518_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502321391060","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3848518"},{"teacherId":10310494,"projectId":9823545,"letterContent":"The students are very excited about the new addition to the classroom.

Most of them are used to seeing worksheets and assignments in plain black and white, so having access to full color has completely changed how they interact with the material. In Economics and U.S. Government, visuals matter. Being able to print charts, infographics, political cartoons, and budget templates in color helps them understand the content faster, especially for my English Language Learners and visual learners. They're pointing things out, noticing details they used to miss, and asking better questions because they can actually see what's happening on the page.\r\n\r\nWhat excites them the most is how their work looks when it's printed. They love seeing their budgets, projects, and posters look professional. Several of my seniors told me it makes them feel like their work \"counts,\" which is huge for students who don't always feel connected to school. One of my quieter students, who rarely speaks up, now volunteers to help print materials for group projects because he \"likes making everything look official.\" Little moments like that remind me how much access can impact confidence.\r\n\r\nThis printer isn't just a tool, it's something that's helping my students feel proud of what they create.

When my students first saw the boxes of snacks, fidgets, and classroom \"fidgeting helpers,\" their excitement was contagious. Many of them couldn't believe that these materials were meant for them — to celebrate their hard work, focus, and perseverance. The smiles, laughter, and pure joy that filled the room that day were absolutely priceless.\r\n\r\nThese items have become such an important part of our classroom culture. The snacks serve as daily motivators and rewards for effort and growth, while the fidgets and sensory tools help my students channel their energy, manage stress, and stay focused during lessons. It's been amazing to see how something as simple as a small fidget cube or a treat can make such a big difference in engagement and behavior. Students who once struggled to stay on task are now participating more, completing work, and showing pride in their progress — all thanks to this system of positive reinforcement.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are excited to continue using these resources as part of our ongoing effort to build a classroom community rooted in encouragement, responsibility, and joy.

In October, we hosted a College Knowledge Spin-the-Wheel event, wrote thank-you notes for staff, did a fun \"donut on a string\" activity, and offered face painting during homecoming week. This month, students will have a chance to share what they're grateful for, join in a Minute-to-Win-It game, and enjoy a caramel apple.\r\n\r\nDuring the event where students could write thank-you notes, a few of them wrote messages to the guidance team, thanking us for helping build community and making school more fun. There were also many students who stopped by to ask questions they'd been meaning to ask their counselor. In one conversation, a student shared about her transition from middle to high school—she said that in middle school she often felt down and didn't enjoy school, but this year has been much better. When I asked what changed, she said it was all the different fun activities at the high school—spirit week, Fun Fridays at lunch, and things like On-The-Go Guidance—that made the difference for her.\r\n\r\nNot only is On-The-Go Guidance impacting students, but it's also making a difference for staff.
