The children are enjoying making their own ocean by filling up the cups with the beads and adding animals inside. We have gotten wonderful language interactions as children talk about their own experiences at the beach while making sand castles. \r\n\r\nThe mix and match waterfalls have been extremely popular with the three year old class as water play is right up their alley.

These new resources have truly made a difference, not only in the way our students learn, but also in the joy and excitement they feel every day when they walk into our classroom. Your support reminded our students that there are people who believe in them, care about their future, and want them to succeed.\r\n\r\n\r\nOne of the most touching moments happened the very first day the materials arrived. As I unpacked everything, the students gathered around with huge smiles and sparkling eyes. Some students gasped with excitement, while others quietly whispered, \"Wow... these are for us?\" It was such an emotional moment because many of our students rarely get opportunities like this. To them, these materials were more than just classroom supplies they were a reminder that they matter.\r\n\r\n\r\nSince receiving the resources, students have become more engaged, confident, and excited to learn. During a recent classroom project, students worked together sharing ideas, solving problems, and encouraging one another. It was beautiful watching students who sometimes struggle with confidence light up with pride as they participated and contributed. The classroom felt filled with happiness, teamwork, and hope.\r\n\r\n\r\nThese resources have created opportunities for hands-on learning experiences that make lessons feel meaningful and exciting. Students are more eager to participate, ask questions, and express themselves creatively. Even the smallest moments students carefully taking turns, helping each other, or proudly showing their work have become reminders of how impactful your generosity truly is.\r\n\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are excited to continue using these materials in projects that encourage creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Our students will be using them to explore new ideas, strengthen important skills, and grow both academically and personally. Most importantly, these resources are helping create a classroom environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in our students and investing in their future. Your kindness has brought so much joy into our classroom, and the impact of your generosity will stay with our students far beyond this school year. We are deeply grateful for your support and for the love and encouragement you have shown our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1766067711782,"projectUrl":"project/clean-minds-are-great-minds/9943131/","projectTitle":"Clean Minds Are Great Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9597735_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x281,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757607906960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9597735"},{"teacherId":10277024,"projectId":9754432,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to our Dungeons & Dragons after school program this year! Your support helped create an engaging and educational experience for our students that went far beyond simply playing a game.\r\n\r\nThroughout the program, students learned how to play Dungeons & Dragons using the Player's Handbook, guided instruction, and collaborative activities. Along the way, they developed important academic and social-emotional skills through lessons focused on character creation, storytelling, backstory writing, problem-solving, teamwork, and creative worldbuilding. Students explored concepts such as fantasy settings, monsters, magic items, and narrative design while practicing communication, reading comprehension, and imaginative thinking.\r\n\r\nBecause of your contributions through our DonorsChoose project, students were able to use high-quality materials including miniatures, maps, guidebooks, and other tabletop resources that made the experience immersive and exciting. One of the highlights of the year was giving students the opportunity to paint and personalize their own miniatures, allowing them to express their creativity and take pride in their work.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped foster a welcoming environment where students could collaborate, build confidence, think critically, and connect with their peers through shared storytelling and adventure.

As a result, students are spending more time reading independently and are gaining confidence in their ability to decode, comprehend, and discuss stories.\r\nBeyond building foundational skills, these books are helping foster imagination, curiosity, and a sense of connection. Many of my students are now seeing themselves reflected in stories or learning about experiences different from their own, which strengthens both their comprehension and empathy. The excitement of choosing a \"just right\" book has transformed our classroom environment into one where literacy is celebrated daily.\r\nThis generous donation is not just providing books—it is opening doors to lifelong learning.

Then later it was used to set up as a center area for the children to have the opportunity to read and reenact the story on their own.\r\n\r\nThe alphabet keys and locks have been a hit with the children!! Of course, the first lock the children look for is the lock that corresponds with the first letter of their name. They will find additional letters including naming some of the letters as well as making the connection if the letter is one that a peer's first name begins with. We have been able to promote early print awareness by providing letter cards to assist with matching the uppercase letter to the corresponding lowercase letter in a developmentally appropriate, hands on way.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support!!

Your support has done far more than simply help us reach a financial goal—it has touched the hearts of our students, strengthened their belief in themselves, and reminded them that there are people in the world who truly care about their growth and future.\r\n\r\nWhen we first began this fundraiser, we hoped to gather enough support to provide our students with better learning materials, enriching experiences, and opportunities that would help them grow academically and personally. What we received, however, was something even greater: a powerful message of encouragement. Your contribution shows our children that their dreams matter, their education matters, and they matter.\r\n\r\nMany of our students come to school with challenges or worries that are not always visible. Some struggle with confidence, others with motivation, and some simply need reassurance that their efforts and goals are worth pursuing. Your donation does more than purchase supplies or support activities—it lifts their spirits, strengthens their belief in what they can achieve, and reinforces that they are surrounded by a community that believes in their abilities.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has already made a noticeable difference. With the support from this fundraiser, we are able to create a cleaner, healthier, and more supportive learning environment. Our students will have access to better resources, nutritious snacks that keep them energized during the school day, organizational tools that help them stay focused, and special projects that encourage creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. These improvements might seem small on the surface, but to a child, they can change everything.\r\n\r\nA child who has access to simple things—like clean supplies, a comfortable workspace, or a healthy snack—can focus more deeply, express ideas more confidently, and participate more fully in lessons. Your generosity allows us to provide those small but powerful tools that help our students reach their learning goals with pride and determination.\r\n\r\nMore importantly, your kindness teaches them a life lesson that cannot be taught from a textbook: the importance of compassion and community. When students see that someone they may never have met chose to invest in their future, it gives them a sense of belonging and hope. It shows them the impact that kindness can have and inspires them to one day give back to others in the same way.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students are stepping into their learning journey with excitement, motivation, and a renewed sense of purpose. They are eager to use the opportunities you helped create, and they understand that behind those opportunities stands someone who believes in them.\r\n\r\nThank you for being that person.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a meaningful and lasting difference—not just in their education, but in their lives. We are sincerely grateful for your generosity, your belief in our mission, and your willingness to help our students grow into confident, capable, and inspired learners.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1759339629728,"projectUrl":"project/we-dont-just-grow-our-mindswe-grow-our/9704033/","projectTitle":"We Don’t Just Grow Our Minds—We Grow Our Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9597735_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x281,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757607906960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9597735"},{"teacherId":7787108,"projectId":9360648,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donations to our classroom fund.
