Your donations of laminating sheets, Astrobrights paper, string lights, and classroom supplies have made a tremendous difference in how my students learn and engage each day.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the Astrobrights paper and laminating sheets to create colorful, durable materials for our interactive notebooks. The students have been building foldables for math, science, and ELA — from place-value practice to text-structure tabs — that they can refer to all year long. Seeing their work displayed in bright colors has sparked so much pride and ownership!\r\n\r\nWhen my students first walked in and saw the newly organized space glowing under the string lights, their faces absolutely lit up to match. The classroom feels warmer and more inviting — a place where they want to learn and take part. Several students even said, \"It feels like our own little world in here!\"\r\n\r\nOur next big step is expanding our interactive notebooks into science investigations, where students will record their observations, diagrams, and reflections in a hands-on way. The materials you provided are helping us build strong, confident learners who are excited about their progress.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom community and believing in my students. Your kindness continues to shine through everything we do!","fullyFundedDate":1753303045501,"projectUrl":"project/ms-swistaks-fantastic-5th-grade-family/9403734/","projectTitle":"Ms. Swistak’s Fantastic 5th Grade Family","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Swistak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10052543"},{"teacherId":8816240,"projectId":9563945,"letterContent":"First, I cannot thank you enough for supporting my \"Minute to Win It Wednesdays\" project! This is having a tremendous impact on my students both socially and academically. \"Alone We Can Do So Little; Together We Can Do So Much.\" Helen Keller my students are learning what this means.\r\n Every Wednesday a student randomly selects a card from our board and reads the challenge to the students. I reinforce with them that in order to be successful they need to talk to each other and work together. They are also learning about good sportsmanship, on how to lose gracefully and congratulate the winners. \r\n They love this activity and look forward to every Wednesday. This project has also motivated them to not only complete their classwork, but they are also working together more collaboratively on partner work and projects. \r\nThank you again for helping to make this project a success!","fullyFundedDate":1755731371922,"projectUrl":"project/minute-to-win-it-wednesdays/9563945/","projectTitle":"Minute to Win It Wednesdays","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lanahan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8816240"},{"teacherId":8539065,"projectId":9405181,"letterContent":"Thank you again for all of your donations and helping my students get the resources that they needed. So far, my students have been diving into the secret stories and pairing it up with UFLI, and the phonics that the children are learning and using to read, has truly been a great help!\r\nMy students have been working on the resources that were provided through your generous donations, and those included the secret stories journal. In their journal, they log their stories, draw the stories, and find words that have the secrets in them. They also have been able to practice in their word work center using the resources I was able to get from your donation. They are immersed in practicing words such as Cvc words, CVCe words, and their sight words.

The materials you donated have made a huge impact on our classroom. My students have been so excited to use the wobble stools, sentence-builder puzzles, kinetic sand, and more. Even I've been loving the new computer mouse, which has made me much more efficient, as well as the Lysol wipes, which help keep our space clean and germ-free.\r\n\r\nThe wobble stools have been a particular hit. The old chairs now sit unused in a corner of the room while the students enthusiastically choose the wobble stools for tabletop tasks. The movement helps them rock back and forth, which is known to improve attention and focus. Seeing their excitement and engagement has been so rewarding.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my goal is to continue providing the best resources for my students to help them grow and thrive. I am already planning a \"calming corner\" in our room, a space where students can go to rest and reset when they need a moment. My hope is to add a rug, bean bags, sensory tiles, and stuffed animals to this area to create a truly supportive and comforting space.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping me take the first steps toward achieving this goal. Your support means the world to me and, more importantly, to my students.","fullyFundedDate":1746575065399,"projectUrl":"project/making-therapy-fun-and-functional/9306661/","projectTitle":"Making Therapy Fun and Functional!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mikayla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10010778_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754052130611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010778"},{"teacherId":8539065,"projectId":9026994,"letterContent":"When the students came in after break seeing their new differentiated centers, they were very excited! They were so curious and wanted to quickly be able to complete all of the tasks in the centers. These differentiated centers has impacted the classroom in such a positive way. The children are able to be independent and pick a skill that they like to practice on their own. Once they're done their regular work, they will go over there to the differentiated centers, and quietly bring the task over to their table to complete. \r\n\r\nBeing independent in their learning has completely helped them and taking responsibility for their learning. I am forever grateful for the donation that helps my classroom be able to have this option. The different colors in the centers are for different levels for the students. The registers are for my lower students. The blue drawer are for my middle academic students, and the purple drawers are for my higher academic students. \r\nThe best part is the kids do not know, and nobody feels any different all while working on skills that are on their level.\r\n\r\nThese centers have been such a game changer, and I am forever thankful to everyone who helped make this possible. Going further, I am going to continue in, trying to create more interactive centers, more hands-on centers, as well as, more life skilled centers.
