Having disinfecting wipes and cleaning supplies available helps us make this a daily routine. These supplies allow us to start each morning with a fresh, clean learning space and help reduce the spread of germs.\r\n\r\nMy students are learning that keeping our classroom clean is a responsibility we all share.

Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are so excited to share the impact your donations are having on our students.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom is stocked with materials that allow students to learn, create, explore, and work together. Having the supplies we need may seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference when students can actually use materials instead of simply reading about a concept in a textbook or watching a video.\r\n\r\nWe were especially excited to put our new supplies to use during our very first science experiment of the school year! Our students worked on creating their own race cars as part of a hands-on lesson about different types of energy. They had the opportunity to build, test, make changes, and try again while thinking like young scientists and engineers.\r\n\r\nThe race car activity gave students the chance to see that science is not just something they learn from a worksheet. Science is something they can experience. As they built their cars, students were able to explore how energy can be stored, transferred, and used to make something move. They were able to ask questions, make predictions, test their ideas, and learn from what happened when their designs did not work the way they expected.\r\n\r\nWhat made this experience even more special was seeing how excited and engaged the students became. Students were talking with one another, sharing ideas, helping each other, and celebrating when their cars moved. They were not afraid to experiment or make mistakes because they understood that mistakes are part of the learning process.\r\n\r\nYour donations are helping us create a classroom where students can be active participants in their learning. Instead of simply being told the answer, they are given opportunities to discover answers for themselves. These hands-on experiences help make difficult science concepts easier to understand while also building important skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, communication, creativity, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it is incredibly rewarding to see students become excited about learning. Your support helps make those moments possible. It allows me to provide meaningful learning experiences that I may not otherwise be able to provide with limited classroom resources.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your generosity is showing our students that their education matters and that people believe in their potential. Every supply donated, every project funded, and every opportunity created sends a message to our students that they deserve the tools and experiences needed to succeed.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for everyone who chose to invest in our classroom. Your support is not simply providing supplies—it is helping create memories, build confidence, encourage curiosity, and make learning come alive.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us start our school year with excitement and hands-on learning. We cannot wait to see what our students create, discover, and accomplish next!","fullyFundedDate":1783342988287,"projectUrl":"project/creating-learning-and-growing/10346731/","projectTitle":"Creating, Learning, and Growing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zavala","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9123724_orig.jpg?crop=1612,1612,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690591514229","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9123724"},{"teacherId":10163633,"projectId":10119593,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the materials — they've made an incredible difference.
