The donations we received allowed us to create an incredible classroom library. This books vary in age range and reading level which is perfect for my students . They love the picture books as they are reminded of their childhoods. One student became addicted to the Unwind collection and shared with me she \"can't wait for more\". They asked me to choose one book to read to them everyday as a warm up. I chose The Giver. They loved it. We did this everyday for the rest of the school year. We also read Indian in the Cupboard, The Little Prince, and Wonder.","fullyFundedDate":1764732700500,"projectUrl":"project/rest-relax-rejuvinate/9870452/","projectTitle":"Rest, Relax, Rejuvinate","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Richard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1322651_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y261&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721492329459","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1322651"},{"teacherId":29345,"projectId":10683365,"letterContent":"The students were so excited to see the One Piece series on our shelves. It is a very popular title. Students enjoy watching the anime, so I knew they would love the manga, as well. Anything I can do to get a student reading is worth it. In this case, it is easy to encourage a kid to read when the book is One Piece. Who doesn't love a good pirate story? In addition, increasing our manga collection is always a win, as it is our most popular section by far.

I have students who I see regularly and students who I may only support once during the school year. Being able to provide water and snacks makes a difference to them. The ones I see regularly have some consistency not only in the services they receive but also in knowing that they can access hydration and a snack for their body. The ones I meet just once know that even for that one time, they will be taken care of whole heartedly. In many cultures and in my culture taking care of people, showing up for them, includes feeding them and through your donation I get to do that, even if it is not a full meal. \r\n\r\nStudents are so happy when they see the snacks and the water. They begin sharing about their day and why they were hungry that day or why they were thirsty. Some students share they usually don't eat in the morning due to different stressors. Some share in remembering all they have to bring to school they forgot to grab their water. Some are experiencing anxiety and sadness and need some comfort snacks. Some just need an opportunity to connect back to themselves or with another human.\r\n\r\nStudents always need access to this and you helped provide that for them.","fullyFundedDate":1789785180371,"projectUrl":"project/meeting-student-needs/10592006/","projectTitle":"Meeting Student Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sheila","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9641789"},{"teacherId":4840495,"projectId":10605767,"letterContent":"We are on our way to maintaining our health this cold and flu season!

We don't have the technology but since I have an extra laptop I am able to provide technology for the student.\r\nMany students are not familiar with a bigger laptop because they are use to the chrome books so I have helped them learn how to use the new Mac laptop.

Our students have been having a great time building the different sets, working together, sharing pieces, and helping each other solve challenging parts of the builds. For many of our students, having access to these sets has provided an exciting opportunity to be creative and have fun in a safe and supportive after-school environment. The excitement on their faces when they first saw all of the LEGO sets was incredible, and they immediately wanted to start building.\r\n\r\nWhat has surprised me most is how much the students have taken the experience beyond simply following the instructions. Some students have even taught me how to use the LEGO app and have started designing their own creations digitally. They are experimenting with their own ideas, creating new builds, and sharing their designs with one another. Our next step is to encourage students to design and build their own Harry Potter-inspired creations and explain their ideas to the group. These LEGO sets are giving our students a chance to practice creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication while doing something they genuinely enjoy.","fullyFundedDate":1788749858700,"projectUrl":"project/lego-harry-potter/10565988/","projectTitle":"Lego Harry Potter","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Felix","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1314760"},{"teacherId":5921681,"projectId":10340931,"letterContent":"My students and I are very grateful for DonorsChoose and funding of our projects.
