I called parents in advance to notify them of the wonderful donations we received to help with some of the impact of buying supplies. Students came to school excited to see the donations they received for them this year. They were super stoked about the crayon sharpener...\"now we can get a nice sharp point again.\" \r\n The books are always a hit since this group loves reading together. I started the year reading how our class is a family and letters that released their worries. They work together really well to solve problems and explain their thinking. We truly thank you for the opportunity to use preset reading/writing activities with questions where students have the chance to show their reasoning abilities. They love working in partners to bounce off their thinking with one another. \r\n Your generosity is huge to me. You make it possible for us teachers in a title one school to show our students how people have a heart of gold to give. My students may not have a lot, but they have a classroom where they enjoy learning and supporting one another as you've supported us.","fullyFundedDate":1753568701594,"projectUrl":"project/supply-ready-to-begin-building-literacy/9433942/","projectTitle":"Supply Ready to Begin Building Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Enriquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8427699_orig.jpg?crop=1500,1500,x0,y230&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650950886026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8427699"},{"teacherId":1456752,"projectId":9501734,"letterContent":"I am absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful to share that my classroom project has been fully funded—thanks to your incredible generosity!\r\n\r\nYour support means more than just the purchase of supplies. You've helped create a calm, organized, and supportive space where my students can truly thrive. With the new calming corner canopy, my students now have a peaceful retreat to help them reset during stressful moments. It's already becoming a favorite spot, especially for those who need a quiet place to breathe, regroup, and return to learning with a clear mind.\r\n\r\nThanks to the chair back buddies, zipper pouches, and plastic folders, my students are now more organized than ever. These tools are empowering them to take ownership of their materials and routines—something that is especially important for young learners and those who benefit from extra support with executive functioning.\r\n\r\nAnd let's not forget the classroom staples that keep our learning running smoothly—glue sticks for creative projects and interactive notebooks, and a dependable pencil sharpener that ensures no one is ever without a sharpened pencil when it's time to write or draw.
