They feel safe and loved in their classroom. They have built on their ability to work together and solve problems. Caring for the plants has taught students responsibility. The snacks helped students feel prepared for state testing and gave them time to breath and talk to their peers before the testing began. As a teacher I try and provide everything my students need but it would not be possible without the help of donors like you. I truly cannot thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1772211905576,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-welcoming-classroom-where-studen/9968010/","projectTitle":"A Cozy, Welcoming Classroom Where Students Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Handel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9597930"},{"teacherId":9597930,"projectId":9320629,"letterContent":"When our new forest rug arrived, my students could hardly contain their excitement! They immediately noticed the bright greens and woodland patterns, and several said it felt like \"reading outside.\" We rolled it out together, and they helped arrange our library space around it — it truly transformed the area into a cozy reading nook that feels welcoming and calm.\r\n\r\nNow, every day, students gather on the rug during independent reading, small-group time, and class read-alouds. It's become a favorite spot for quiet moments with a good book. Some students even choose to bring their own cushions or stuffed animals to sit with while they read, creating their own little forest corner.\r\n\r\nThis rug has turned our library into the heart of our classroom — a place where students can relax, imagine, and fall in love with stories. Thank you for helping us create a space that nurtures both learning and joy. Your generosity truly made our classroom feel like home.","fullyFundedDate":1746786059455,"projectUrl":"project/forest-rugs/9320629/","projectTitle":"Forest Rugs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Handel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9597930"},{"teacherId":9597930,"projectId":9340575,"letterContent":"When our new materials arrived, my students were so excited! The first thing they noticed was the comfy new desk chair, which quickly became the favorite spot for reading time. It's now our \"Author's Chair\" — students take turns sitting in it to share their writing or read aloud to the class. This small change has made reading time feel extra special and has encouraged even my more reluctant readers to participate confidently.\r\n\r\nOur new whiteboard markers have made lessons more interactive and engaging. Instead of me being the only one writing on the board, students now come up to solve math problems, brainstorm ideas, or share their thinking during science discussions. The fresh, bright colors make everything clearer and more fun, which has really boosted their energy during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe STEM bins have been a huge hit during our morning choice time and science rotations. Students are collaborating, problem-solving, and thinking creatively as they build, test, and redesign their creations. These hands-on materials have given them opportunities to explore engineering concepts while working together and practicing perseverance.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom feels more vibrant, collaborative, and full of curiosity. My students are learning that with the right tools and a little imagination, they can do amazing things!","fullyFundedDate":1752178836901,"projectUrl":"project/organized-and-happy/9340575/","projectTitle":"Organized and Happy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Handel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9597930"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74823","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":542,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":14,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"25.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.1,"schoolId":74823,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marylou Dieterich Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marylou Dieterich Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/stanislaus-union-school-district/marylou-dieterich-elementary-school/74823"}
