The outdoor equipment has given students more opportunities to play, collaborate, and recharge during breaks, which has helped them return to learning with renewed focus and energy. Having snacks available has also ensured that students stay nourished throughout the day, allowing them to concentrate better and fully participate in class activities. The combination of fresh air, movement, and consistent nourishment has contributed to a calmer, happier, and more productive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nThe art and STEM supplies have also made a meaningful difference. With new markers and safety glasses, students are able to dive deeply into hands-on creative projects that spark their imaginations and encourage problem-solving. Books like *The Chronicles of Narnia* have become powerful sources of inspiration, allowing students to connect literature with their artistic expression in ways that are both fun and enriching. The chargers have ensured that students can reliably use their computers to research, draw, and explore digital tools that expand their creative possibilities.\r\n\r\nI am truly grateful for the generosity that made this project possible. These resources have supported not only academic growth, but also creativity, community, and joy in the classroom. They have helped students feel cared for, inspired, and empowered—and that impact is felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1759368182763,"projectUrl":"project/recess-and-re-imagining/9772210/","projectTitle":"Recess and Re-Imagining","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10039150"},{"teacherId":10039150,"projectId":9702233,"letterContent":"These resources have already made a meaningful difference for my students. The hands-on materials for our Mystery Science lessons have transformed our science block into a time of true curiosity and exploration. Students who once hesitated to participate are now fully engaged—building, testing, questioning, and discovering together. The tripod has also allowed me to record these lessons so students can revisit the activities and strengthen their understanding, giving them the confidence to take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nThe additions to our classroom library have been equally impactful. Many of my students are enthusiastic manga readers, and having books like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto available has encouraged even some of my most reluctant readers to spend more time with books. The new chairs and book carts have helped create inviting reading spaces where students feel comfortable sitting together, sharing stories, and forming friendships through book clubs. These resources have not only supported literacy growth but also helped build a stronger, more connected classroom community.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful for the generosity that made all of this possible. Your support has enriched both academic learning and social-emotional well-being in our classroom. My students truly feel seen, supported, and excited to learn each day because of these contributions.","fullyFundedDate":1757786757087,"projectUrl":"project/future-scientists-readers-and-leaders/9702233/","projectTitle":"Future Scientists, Readers, and Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10039150"},{"teacherId":8820839,"projectId":9607877,"letterContent":"Thank you once again for your generous donation to my first-grade classroom. We have already been putting the Nerf toys, Legos, puzzles, Operation, Jenga, social-skills games, paint, Simon, and fine-motor-skills tools to good use. And they make a difference every day.\r\n\r\nStudents rotate through learning centers where the materials support a wide range of skills. Our Lego and puzzle station strengthens spatial reasoning and problem-solving, while the Operation and fine-motor tools help students practice precision and control. Jenga and our social-skills games have become favorites during our SEL block, helping children work on turn-taking, communication, and handling frustration with kindness. Paint and art materials are used during writing and science activities to help students express understanding creatively. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments happened during our \"Community Helpers\" unit. Students used Legos to build miniature versions of community buildings—fire stations, grocery stores, post offices—and then worked together to connect them into a small \"town.\" Watching them negotiate ideas, build cooperatively, and proudly present their creations showed just how powerful hands-on materials can be for learning and collaboration.\r\n\r\nStudents excitement was unforgettable! When the students walked in and saw the boxes of new materials, their faces lit up. Many gasped, some cheered, and several immediately began imagining what they could build or play. They kept saying, \"Is this really for our class?\" and \"We get to use ALL of these?\" Their enthusiasm turned into instant engagement.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students the tools to explore, create, and grow. Your generosity continues to shape meaningful learning experiences in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758863992802,"projectUrl":"project/connect-with-play/9607877/","projectTitle":"Connect With Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gleason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8820839"},{"teacherId":10096689,"projectId":9777917,"letterContent":"When I first saw the new materials arrive during fall break, my face lit up with excitement. When my students saw the new materials, they beamed with excitement, too, and curiosity. They couldn't wait to explore the books, test out the STEM tools, and choose their new favorite reading spots. It was a moment filled with joy and gratitude, proof that these resources truly make learning come alive.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the new books during our book talk, independent and small-group reading sessions, and I've noticed my students becoming more confident and engaged readers. The STEM materials have turned our classroom into a space buzzing with discovery, and students are building, problem-solving, and collaborating in ways that show their creativity and persistence. The flexible seating has given them the freedom to learn in ways that suit their individual needs, helping them stay focused and comfortable.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these resources have strengthened our classroom community. The social-emotional learning tools have helped students communicate better, manage their emotions, and support one another through challenges.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has transformed our classroom into a place where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to do their best every day.
