I shared a photo of the new rug with students, who all cheered when they saw how beautiful it is! While there are many different emotions that go into a move like this, one of the things I am most thankful for is that we will have bright, clean, and new materials, such as this rug, to help students feel warm and welcome in their new space.

Having consistent access to these supplies allowed us to maintain a clean, safe, and organized classroom, which is essential for helping students feel comfortable and ready to learn. A clean space reduces distractions, supports student health, and helps create an environment where students can focus and engage more fully in their learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of the cleaning supplies provided by donors, I was able to spend more time teaching and supporting students rather than worrying about maintaining basic cleanliness and sanitation. Desks, shared materials, and classroom spaces could be cleaned quickly and regularly, which helped preserve instructional time and supported smoother transitions throughout the day. This consistency made a noticeable difference in student focus, behavior, and overall engagement.\r\n\r\nThe availability of these supplies also helped students develop responsibility and pride in their classroom. Students were able to take part in caring for their shared space, which reinforced positive routines and respect for the learning environment. This contributed to a calmer, more organized classroom where students felt supported and valued.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful to the donors who made this project possible. Their generosity went beyond providing basic materials—it helped create a healthier, more welcoming classroom where students can learn, grow, and thrive each day.","fullyFundedDate":1758827766146,"projectUrl":"project/a-clean-and-safe-learning-environment-fo/9457190/","projectTitle":"A Clean and Safe Learning Environment for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pelletier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10076040"},{"teacherId":10076040,"projectId":9457239,"letterContent":"When donors choose to provide food items for our students, the impact reaches far beyond the classroom. These generous donations help meet essential needs for many of our students and their families, offering reassurance, stability, and support during times when it may be needed most. Knowing that food is available helps reduce stress and uncertainty for families, allowing students to come to school feeling safer, more secure, and cared for.\r\n\r\nAccess to food plays a critical role in a child's ability to learn and thrive. When students' basic needs are met, they are better able to focus, regulate their emotions, and fully engage in academic and social learning. These donations contribute to a more positive classroom environment where students can concentrate on their work, build relationships, and grow with confidence.\r\n\r\nBeyond meeting physical needs, food donations send a powerful message to our students—that their community sees them, values them, and believes in their success. This generosity helps foster a sense of belonging and trust, reminding students that they are not alone and that there are people who care deeply about their well-being. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and compassion shown through these donations, as they make a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of our students and families.","fullyFundedDate":1759341059556,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-all/9457239/","projectTitle":"Snacks for All","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pelletier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10076040"},{"teacherId":9847324,"projectId":8965861,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!

Well, our first graders sure thought so! \r\nWe have six first grade classrooms this year and have added two pairs of binoculars to each of our outdoor learning bags to take into the woods.
