Thanks to her support, our students were able to perform with beautiful masks, matching costume t-shirts, and stage displays that transformed our cafeteria into a real performance space. The moment the students saw all of the materials, their excitement was immediate. They felt proud, important, and deeply connected to the production because they could see how much care had gone into helping make this experience special for them.\r\n\r\nThroughout the project, students worked incredibly hard learning and practicing their lines, and the new resources helped build their confidence every step of the way. Wearing their costumes and performing with the stage displays made the experience feel authentic and memorable. Many students who are usually shy became more willing to participate, speak clearly, and express themselves creatively during rehearsals and the final performance.\r\n\r\nBecause of Coach Betty's kindness, our students were able to experience the joy of teamwork, performance, and storytelling in a meaningful way. This project has inspired students to continue building their speaking, reading fluency, and collaboration skills through future classroom performances and creative activities. We are so grateful for the support that helped make this unforgettable experience possible for our class.","fullyFundedDate":1771702581497,"projectUrl":"project/opera-under-the-sea/10094744/","projectTitle":"Opera Under the Sea","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Webb-Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5281998_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753120932944","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-webbswildcats"},{"teacherId":2988707,"projectId":10129445,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my Donor's Choose Project.

This ment a lot to my students. They were so thankful and appreciative. \r\nOur performance was a success and they were able to share it with the students at our school and their families.

The bulletin board paper and borders allowed me to create bright, welcoming displays that make our room feel like a place where learning is celebrated. I use these boards to showcase anchor charts we create together during lessons, as well as student work that reflects their growth and effort. Having a designated, visually appealing space to display this content helps students refer back to important strategies and feel proud seeing their work highlighted. It has also made it much easier to keep our classroom organized and engaging throughout different units.\r\n\r\nThe anchor chart paper has been essential for capturing student thinking in real time. During lessons, we co-create charts that model skills, strategies, and key concepts, which then stay up as ongoing references. Students regularly use these charts independently, which builds confidence and reinforces learning. The floor dots have also made a big impact on our daily routines by helping keep desks consistently spaced and organized. This has reduced distractions and made transitions smoother, allowing us to maximize instructional time. Together, these materials have supported a more structured, student-centered environment where students can learn, collaborate, and take pride in their classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746071285905,"projectUrl":"project/setting-up-a-calm-organized-classroom/9265973/","projectTitle":"Setting Up a Calm, Organized Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Easley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9655742_orig.png?crop=470,470,x51,y218&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726356382937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9655742"},{"teacherId":3422910,"projectId":10064731,"letterContent":"Thank you Supporters and Fiesta Sports Foundation Wishes For Teachers for your generous grant This grant allowed me to obtained a new Mac Pro teacher workstation laptop that has current digital technology that allows me to use a search engine to locate information without me waiting as it spins and spins and spins trying to connect to the internet like my older school computer.

Because of your generosity, my students were able to enjoy an end-of-year celebration that honored their hard work, growth, and perseverance. When students first saw the celebration materials, snacks, and decorations, they were filled with excitement and smiles. Many of my students come from Title I households, and for some, this was the first time they experienced a classroom celebration like this. One student shared, \"This feels special,\" which made the moment even more meaningful.\r\n\r\nWe used these resources to create a positive and inclusive celebration where students reflected on what they learned, shared memories with classmates, and practiced social skills like taking turns, expressing gratitude, and celebrating one another. For my English Language Learners, the celebration also provided natural opportunities to practice speaking and listening in a relaxed, joyful setting. Students proudly talked about their favorite lessons, projects, and goals they accomplished throughout the year.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will carry this sense of accomplishment with them as they transition to the next grade. Celebrating the end of the year helps students see that their effort matters and that school is a place where they are valued and supported. Thank you for helping my students end the year feeling confident, proud, and excited for what comes next. Your kindness helped create memories they will always remember.","fullyFundedDate":1714411969149,"projectUrl":"project/lets-celebrate-the-end-of-the-year/8315980/","projectTitle":"Let's Celebrate The End Of The Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7785180_orig.jpg?crop=477,477,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618534884008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7785180"},{"teacherId":7785180,"projectId":8232471,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping us refill our classroom supplies.

When the new supplies arrived, my students were excited to see markers pencils, paper, and learning materials ready for them to use. Several students said, \"We have new supplies!\" and eagerly got to work. For many of my students, especially those from Title I households, having their own materials at school helps them feel prepared, confident, and included.\r\n\r\nWe use these supplies daily during reading, writing, math, and hands-on learning activities. Students use paper and pencils to practice writing sentences, solve math problems, and draw pictures to support their understanding—an important strategy for English Language Learners. Having enough supplies allows me to focus on teaching instead of worrying about sharing or running out, and it gives students the freedom to fully engage in lessons without interruption.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using these supplies as we work on building reading comprehension, writing complete sentences, and solving math problems with visuals and models.

Many of my students are English Language Learners and come from Title I households, and having choice in seating helps them feel comfortable and included. When the new seating arrived, students were excited to try the teacher chairs, wiggle seats, scoop rockers, and bench table. They proudly asked, \"Can I try this one?\" and were eager to get started with learning.\r\n\r\nWe use flexible seating throughout the day during reading, writing, math, and small-group instruction. The wiggle seats and scoop rockers allow students to move their bodies while staying focused, which is especially helpful for students with attention and sensory needs. The teacher chairs and bench table create inviting spaces for partner work and small groups, where students can practice speaking, listening, and collaborating. I have noticed that students are more engaged, stay on task longer, and feel more confident participating in lessons when they are seated in a way that supports their bodies.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using flexible seating as they work on reading comprehension, math problem solving, and language development. These seating options support independence and self-advocacy, as students learn to choose what helps them learn best.

Several students immediately wanted to sit quietly and explore the space. One student said, \"This helps my body feel calm.\" It was clear right away that this space would help students feel safe and supported.\r\n\r\nWe now use the calming corner every day. Students choose it when they feel frustrated, tired, or unsure how to express their feelings in words. The breathing posters, feelings mirror, and mindful maze boards are especially helpful for my English learners because they provide visual and hands-on support. Students can point to a feeling, practice breathing, and calm their bodies without needing a lot of language. After spending a few minutes in the calming corner, students are better able to return to learning and participate with confidence.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue learning how to name emotions, practice self-control, and use strategies to calm themselves during lessons and transitions. These skills support both learning and language growth. Because of you, my students know they have a safe space in our classroom where they are cared for and understood.
