The resources you helped provide—a Galaxy tablet, Play-Doh, smile, pencils, laminating sheets, classroom prizes, and a set of diverse stuffed dolls that reflect our students—will make a difference far beyond this moment. These tools will support learning all year long by giving students more ways to explore, create, and stay engaged. The tablet will continue to be used for interactive lessons, enrichment activities, and small-group instruction. The hands-on materials like Play-Doh, slime and pencils encourage creativity, fine-motor growth, and active learning. Laminating sheets allow us to preserve reusable materials that benefit students for years to come. The prizes inspire positive behavior and motivation throughout the year. And the inclusive dolls help students feel seen, valued, and represented—something that influences classroom culture long after this school year ends.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is shaping an environment where students can thrive both now and in the years ahead, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746785820851,"projectUrl":"project/early-finishers-need-fidgets/9208672/","projectTitle":"Early Finishers need Fidgets","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clegg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9156581_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691963532174","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msalpha"},{"teacherId":8357275,"projectId":9194581,"letterContent":"When my students first walked into the classroom and saw the brand-new rug, bright décor, and neatly organized supplies, their faces lit up with excitement. Many immediately noticed how colorful and inviting the space felt, and several commented that it \"looked like a whole new classroom.\" The rug quickly became our favorite gathering spot for morning meetings, read-alouds, and group discussions, creating a warm and welcoming environment where every student has a space to belong.\r\nThe new supplies have made a huge difference in our daily learning routines. Students now have access to the tools they need—pencils, markers, organizers, and more—without delays or interruptions. The updated décor has also created a more engaging and inspiring atmosphere, helping students stay focused and motivated during lessons. One of my favorite moments so far was watching a small group work together on a writing project while seated on the rug, using their new supplies to bring their ideas to life.\r\nOur next steps include building on this positive learning environment by launching collaborative projects that encourage creativity, teamwork, and independent thinking. The warm, organized classroom space you helped create has set the tone for the rest of our school year, making it easier for my students to feel comfortable, valued, and ready to learn every day. Your generosity has made our classroom a place where students truly love to be, and I am beyond grateful for your support in making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1746785774201,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-beginnings/9194581/","projectTitle":"New Year< New Beginnings","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8357275_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721166796001","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8357275"},{"teacherId":9624435,"projectId":8707811,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing out students with the necessary tool to combat the cold season and remain strong at school to learn. We use our materials everyday and we were even able to help out other classrooms as well. We used our Lysol wipes to clean our desks and materials daily as well as cleaning up messes that may occur in the classroom. Many students were not sure what to do with most of the materials besides the tissues and hand sanitizer, but through healthy conversation and a couple of funny germ videos, we were able to learn how to use our resources properly and kept ourselves safe!","fullyFundedDate":1734710998104,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-habits-through-learning/8707811/","projectTitle":"Healthy Habits Through Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wingate","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9624435_orig.png?crop=296,296,x0,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722869628558","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9624435"},{"teacherId":8357275,"projectId":8549450,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and support in providing my students with these incredible resources!

We have been using the materials daily, whether it's through hands-on activities, interactive lessons, or small group instruction. One of the most memorable moments was when my students first saw the new supplies—there were smiles, gasps, and even a few joyful cheers! Their excitement was contagious, and it was heartwarming to see how much they appreciated the tools that are helping them grow.\r\n\r\nThese resources have truly transformed our learning environment. For example, with our new materials, my struggling readers now have access to engaging literacy tools that make decoding and comprehension more accessible for them. Math lessons have also become more interactive, allowing students to build confidence in problem-solving. As we move forward, my goal is to continue incorporating these resources into our lessons, ensuring that every student has the support they need to succeed.
