They've been using the materials not only during small group sessions but also in their free time, which shows just how much they value them. Having these resources has truly boosted their confidence and sparked even more enthusiasm for learning. It's wonderful to see how motivated they are to challenge themselves and grow.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact, and the children are already benefiting greatly from your support. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment, and we're excited to continue this partnership throughout the 2025–2026 school year.","fullyFundedDate":1747163776914,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-down-to-business-love-learnin/9170377/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Down to Business: Love Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stephanie Go","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9968465_orig.png?crop=546,546,x0,y67&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741889095250","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-stephanie-go"},{"teacherId":9003398,"projectId":9487261,"letterContent":"Thank you for the donations of 210 lined and colored index cards, 24 double-sided dry-erase boards with mini erasers, and a 50-count snack box. These donations have had a profound impact on our classroom environment. The Scribbledo index cards, in particular, have been a game-changer for student engagement. The variety of colors has allowed us to implement more creative and visually appealing learning activities. Students use them to create personal flashcards for studying vocabulary words and math facts, with different colors assigned to different subjects. The cards are also used for quick-writes, where students jot down their thoughts or questions after a lesson, giving me immediate feedback on their understanding. The combination of these cards with the mini dry-erase boards has transformed our review sessions into interactive, game-like activities that students eagerly participate in.\r\n\r\nThe donation of 24 Scribbledo dry-erase boards and the SCHOOLHOUSE SNACKS variety pack have significantly enhanced both our academic and social-emotional learning environments. The mini whiteboards have made our classroom a more dynamic and collaborative space. Students can quickly work out math problems, brainstorm ideas, or respond to prompts without the pressure of a permanent mark on paper. This has encouraged more risk-taking and active participation, as students feel comfortable making mistakes and trying again. The generous snack box has been a wonderful surprise for our students, providing a much-needed energy boost during long school days. These snacks not only help students stay focused and attentive but also serve as a reward for hard work and a way to build a sense of community. The students love sharing their favorite snacks, and the excitement they bring to our classroom is palpable. THANK YOU again for being a valuable partner in education.","fullyFundedDate":1755705509176,"projectUrl":"project/investing-in-tomorrows-leaders-tools-f/9487261/","projectTitle":"Investing in Tomorrow's Leaders: Tools for a Brighter School Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Roberson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9003398_orig.png?crop=1619,1620,x0,y59&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753385627142","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9003398"},{"teacherId":9003398,"projectId":9229378,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your recent book donations to our elementary school classroom. As educators, we know that books are a powerful tool, and your generosity directly helps us introduce essential skills to our students. Beyond the joy of reading, these new books are helping us teach foundational literacy skills. Our students are learning to identify the main idea and supporting details in a story, make inferences about characters' motivations, and use context clues to understand new vocabulary. For our older students, we can even introduce more complex ideas, such as analyzing different literary genres and understanding an author's purpose. We're so excited to see how your gift will continue to help our students develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for literature.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is a vibrant, interactive experience. It's not just about sitting quietly and reading to ourselves; it's about building a community of readers. We start each day with a \"Morning Read,\" where I read aloud to the whole class, introducing new stories and sparking discussions. We also have dedicated time for independent reading, where students choose books from our classroom library—which is now overflowing with your donations! During this time, I work with students one-on-one and in small groups to provide individualized support. Throughout the week, we also have buddy reading where older students pair up with younger students to share stories. It's a joy to see our students not only grow as readers but also as mentors and leaders.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your donations is already so evident. One of our students, Cadence, has always struggled to find books that capture his interest, but your new donation of a graphic novel series has completely changed that. He's been so engrossed in the story that he's even started making his own comics inspired by the characters. Another student, Shyann, has been working on her confidence with reading aloud. The new non-fiction books about animals and space have been a massive hit with her, and she has been proudly sharing fascinating facts she's learned with her classmates. It's because of supporters like you that we can provide our students with the diverse and engaging texts that help them not only grow as readers but also develop a lifelong love of learning. Thank you again for your incredible generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1746565284069,"projectUrl":"project/quiet-adventures/9229378/","projectTitle":"Quiet Adventures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Roberson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9003398_orig.png?crop=1619,1620,x0,y59&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753385627142","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9003398"},{"teacherId":9478417,"projectId":8436545,"letterContent":"I would like to say thank you for helping with this project.
