So far have had fun unboxing and preparing items to be used in our everyday routines. The students have used some of the art supplies already! The experienced watercolor paints on actual watercolor paper (not construction paper like usual) and they loved it! They also used some of the washable paints to create beautiful spring art that is being hung as a floral wall in our second grade pod. Through this class art piece they are spreading the joy of spring and art to all of the second grade classes. \r\nThe Legos, Lego book, and other building materials are used every morning as they enjoy what we call \"Breakfast and Build\" in our classroom. They get to use any of the STEM materials to get creative and work with friends, while others are eating breakfast before the morning bell. They are excited for the Lego wall to be put up soon!\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness! You have truly made an impact on my current and future students!","fullyFundedDate":1764951388206,"projectUrl":"project/steam-in-2nd-grade/9904254/","projectTitle":"STEAM in 2nd Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harvey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4545154"},{"teacherId":5237495,"projectId":9527355,"letterContent":"We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who supported our DonorsChoose project for headphones and snacks. Because of your generosity, our classroom has become an even better place to learn and grow!\r\n\r\nThe headphones have made a huge difference in our daily learning. Students are now able to focus during independent work, listen to stories and lessons without distractions, and fully engage in online activities. Having their own headphones helps them feel responsible and prepared, and it allows each child to learn at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also made a meaningful impact. When students have a small snack during the day, they are more focused, energized, and ready to learn. It's hard to concentrate on reading in the morning when you're hungry, and your kindness has helped remove that barrier for so many of our students.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided supplies, but also comfort and opportunity. We truly appreciate your generosity and the difference you have made in our classroom.

I have been able to utilize the file pockets to help differentiate work for my students. They allow me to put different levels of work into different colored pockets to make them easy for my students to access. \r\n\r\nThe fun pens are being used to reward students who consistently use capital letters, punctuation, complete sentence, etc correctly. \r\n\r\nThank you again so much for supporting our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1762381740345,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-a-successful-year/9550621/","projectTitle":"Supplies for a Successful Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5974436_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566141999548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5974436"},{"teacherId":4545154,"projectId":9161524,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping fund my project last school year!
