As soon as they arrived, the kids were so excited to pick theirs out and start using them. Now, instead of asking to leave class for water, students can stay focused and hydrated right at their desks. It's made a big difference in keeping our learning time on track.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stuck with me was during a reading small group—usually, a few students ask for a water break, but that day, everyone stayed engaged the whole time. Afterward, one student said, \"I like having my water right here. I don't miss anything now.\"\r\n\r\nNext, we're encouraging students to track their water intake and build healthy routines. Thanks again for supporting our school in such a meaningful way!","fullyFundedDate":1735320185394,"projectUrl":"project/hydrate-our-students-water-bottles-for/8922645/","projectTitle":"Hydrate Our Students: Water Bottles for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9649819_orig.jpg?crop=900,900,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723561450772","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9649819"},{"teacherId":9175670,"projectId":9000682,"letterContent":"The students love the new seating!

It's been incredibly helpful in creating colorful resources for my students, which really grabs their attention. Colorful worksheets and activities seem to motivate them more than black-and-white ones, and they love working on these vibrant materials. One of the biggest benefits is that I can easily reproduce resources, especially for the early finishers, without needing to go down to the teacher's lounge for photocopies. This has made a big difference in keeping the class running smoothly.\r\n\r\nWhat's really exciting is seeing the students' reactions to the new materials. They're much more engaged when the resources are colorful, and it's clear that they appreciate the effort that goes into making their learning more interactive and enjoyable. Some students, especially the creative ones, have really warmed to the new technology—they love using the colorful prints for their projects and feel proud of the final results. It's been amazing to watch their excitement and enthusiasm grow with the availability of these new, colorful resources!","fullyFundedDate":1733249212168,"projectUrl":"project/ignite-learning-with-color-transformati/8630253/","projectTitle":"Ignite Learning With Color: Transformative Classroom Printing for 3rd Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9649819_orig.jpg?crop=900,900,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723561450772","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9649819"},{"teacherId":9175670,"projectId":8100373,"letterContent":"Students were able to enjoy a healthy snack after engaging in multiple academic lessons throughout the day.
