The bean bag chairs provided flexible and comfortable seating for my students. They love sitting around the room working quietly in them. The reward items were a huge hit! They work harder when they are interested in the rewards in my classroom store. We used the paper cutter immediately to set up notebooks, make and organize math flip books, and cut materials for our science experiments. \r\n\r\nThe materials really helped us dig into our learning by giving us the materials we need to get a leg up on learning. These students are from low income and disadvantaged homes. They are so used to making due without what they need, that they were surprised how much of a difference having the \"little things\" makes in their daily learning. \r\n\r\nI am so grateful for the assistance in providing things we need and can use daily, it makes all the difference in the learning outcomes.","fullyFundedDate":1768607111413,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-classroom-for-my-mathematicians8-m/9989131/","projectTitle":"Comfy Classroom for my Mathematicians8 m","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Purdy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5533956_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1531691885768","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5533956"},{"teacherId":5409772,"projectId":10034320,"letterContent":"Our class is so thankful for your generous donations!

Because of your generosity, my students now have access to tools that help them see, hear, and participate more actively in their learning each day.\r\nThe document camera has quickly become one of the most valuable resources in our classroom. Students can clearly see reading passages, writing examples, and math problem-solving strategies displayed in real time. This has made lessons more interactive and has helped students better understand concepts because they can follow along with each step of the learning process. The headphones with microphones have been especially helpful for our English learners as they practice listening and speaking skills for WIDA preparation. Students are more confident participating in speaking activities because they can hear clearly and practice independently.\r\nThe chart paper, folders, laminating sheets, and transparent sticky notes have helped us create a classroom where learning is visible and accessible. Students use the transparent notes to highlight key words, identify text evidence, and mark important clues while reading. Anchor charts and student work are displayed throughout the room, allowing students to refer back to strategies and celebrate their growth. The communication folders help strengthen the connection between home and school, ensuring families stay informed and involved in their child's learning.\r\nYour kindness has provided my students with tools that make learning more engaging, interactive, and meaningful.

We use them as both a motivational tool and a way to build responsibility and engagement during independent reading time.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment happened during a reading workshop when students were working on identifying character traits in their novels. Each student placed their desk pet on the page where they found strong evidence about a character. As I circulated, I noticed students eagerly explaining their thinking—not just to me, but to each other—using their desk pets as a sort of \"reading companion.\" One student who is usually hesitant to share raised their hand to proudly describe how their desk pet \"helped\" them notice how the main character changed over time.\r\n\r\nWe've also incorporated desk pets into a classroom project where students track their reading goals. As they meet milestones—like finishing a book or improving comprehension they earn small items or \"habitats\" for their pets. This has created a sense of excitement and ownership over their reading progress.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, these simple resources have transformed our classroom environment into one filled with joy, motivation, and deeper engagement with reading. My students are more invested than ever, and it's been wonderful to see their confidence grow.","fullyFundedDate":1768185092575,"projectUrl":"project/reading-desk-pets/10007306/","projectTitle":"Reading Desk Pets","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chapel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10401660"},{"teacherId":10059931,"projectId":9990117,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom.

The smelly stickers and treasure box items have also been a huge motivator, encouraging students to stay engaged and do their best.\r\n\r\nWe use these resources during small group rotations, and the pouches and bins help keep everything organized and easy to access.
