It was especially exciting to see the rocks, which were so heavy! Everyone gets giddy when they see big packages, and wants a chance to open them. \r\n\r\nSome of the boxes were supplies for our classroom to help keep us healthy, like Lysol wipes and tissues. These supplies are so needed, especially during the cold and flu season, which can really be any time of year in an elementary school. We also received some items to be used in our classroom store. This is our weekly reward system in which students earn classroom money for completing work and doing their classroom job. \r\n\r\nOther items were used for our school-wide quarterly reward event, Rock & Roll Paint Party. Students earn this event by setting and meeting a goal of earning points for positive behavior. The event was to paint a rock in any way they chose. The rocks will then be used to help beautify our campus. We set up the cafeteria in an orange theme, covering tables with orange paper, and setting up painting stations at each table with paint markers and rocks. Students came in and chose a seat. We had a rock-themed playlist to listen to while they decorated. They also received a snack which was a carrot-shaped treat bag filled with orange snacks like goldfish and cheese balls. The kids and staff loved it!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your contributions to my classroom and school!","fullyFundedDate":1763498221000,"projectUrl":"project/all-for-the-kids/9785269/","projectTitle":"All for the Kids!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stagno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9474341_orig.jpg?crop=2503,2503,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708497064763","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9474341"},{"teacherId":7617803,"projectId":10089871,"letterContent":"Your support for Mastering Tomorrow has turned our classroom into a vibrant lab of innovation!

The Makers & Munchies workshop has turned our room into a giant laboratory where science and snacks come together. For my special education students, the 3D printer is like a magic wand. Instead of just looking at pictures in a book, they get to watch a real object grow from a spool of colorful filament. It helps them understand shapes and \"how things work\" by letting them touch and feel their own creations.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part is definitely the \"Big Reveal!\" Whether it's waiting for a 3D toy to finish or listening for that first pop-pop-pop from the popcorn machine, the kids are bursting with curiosity. They aren't just eating a snack; they are learning about heat, timing, and safety. My students who usually find it hard to sit still are now the best \"Safety Officers,\" making sure every tool and kernel is exactly where it belongs.\r\n\r\nI am so proud of how my students have warmed up to these new tools. Even my quietest learners are now acting like mini-engineers, showing off their 3D-printed projects with huge smiles. This technology has given them the confidence to say, \"I can do this!\" By learning to use this equipment carefully and correctly, they are building big-kid life skills that will help them long after they leave 4th grade.

Through our \"Spark Joy\" Project-Based Learning initiative, our students successfully transformed one side of our walkway into a vibrant piano-themed landscape. While the first phase was a wonderful start, your contributions have finally allowed us to complete both sides of the path. Now, the vision of a fully immersive \"piano sidewalk\" is a reality, creating a harmonious and joyful experience for every student, teacher, and visitor who walks these grounds each day.\r\n\r\nThis project provided our students with an invaluable opportunity to step away from their desks and engage in meaningful, hands-on work. By trading their chairs for garden tools, they cultivated real-world skills in teamwork, design, and environmental stewardship. There is a special kind of magic in seeing a student's confidence grow as they apply classroom concepts to the physical world. Upon completing the garden, the sense of pride was palpable; they have truly mastered the art of making their daily environment more beautiful for everyone to enjoy.

Since receiving the materials, I have been able to create a more supportive and structured environment where my students can better regulate and engage in their learning. My students were very excited about having more liquid tiles and weighted lap blankets, and they were eager to use them right away. The weighted blankets are now readily available, and my students know where to get them when they need support. This has made a big difference, as multiple students are able to independently use them throughout the day to support self-regulation while attending to morning routines and academic tasks. Having more liquid tiles and headphones available has also allowed all of my students access to calming tools when they feel overwhelmed by noise or sensory input, which has helped create a more peaceful and focused classroom environment.\r\n\r\nAcademically, the materials have supported growth in both writing and task engagement. The sentence-building activities have helped my students practice writing complete sentences and expand their ideas by adding more descriptive words. The weighted pencil grips have been especially helpful for students who did not like writing with pencils, and they are now more willing to engage in writing tasks. Additionally, the containers have helped me organize and separate tasks for both English Language Arts and Math, making expectations clearer and work more manageable for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1771785852713,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-sensational-tools-for-fun-and-fo/10104367/","projectTitle":"Sensory Sensational Tools for Fun and Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Judy Perry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9474167_orig.png?crop=73,73,x0,y9&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758854386074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9474167"},{"teacherId":3874771,"projectId":10105423,"letterContent":"Mahalo for the fans.
