When I received the first donation I was really excited and, when the project got funded so quickly, I got really emotional. I was full of joy to see how people that do not know us is so generous and willing to help my little TK students.\r\nWe got the supplies right before winter break. When we received the materials in our classroom, students were really excited to see all the different colorful construction paper, card stock, glue, and tissue paper. We also used the time to review the colors in both languages as we classified the construction paper by color. They had so much fun! \r\nNow that we are back from break, we started using the art supplies to work on different art projects. We celebrated the new year with a hat art project and a wish for the new year. We made our January calendar and we learned about Martin Luther King Jr and created another art project that students took home and share with their families.","fullyFundedDate":1765252490429,"projectUrl":"project/art-to-learn-2-languages-and-develop-cr/9929096/","projectTitle":"Art to Learn 2 Languages and Develop Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olivar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6374777_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720460947780","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6374777"},{"teacherId":1127779,"projectId":9592468,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project. Because of you, all 20 of my fifth graders received their very own copy of The One and Only Bob. This series has become a beloved part of our classroom community, and having a new chapter book to enjoy over Winter Break truly sparked excitement and joy. Many students told me they couldn't wait to dive in, and it has been wonderful to see their love for reading continue to grow.\r\nYour donations also provided class prizes such as water cups and pencils. My students work incredibly hard every single day, and these small celebrations help motivate them, build confidence, and reinforce the idea that learning is something to be proud of.\r\nIn addition, the craft bags and classroom supplies you funded have already begun enhancing our hands-on projects. These materials allow students to be creative, collaborate, and engage more deeply with our lessons.\r\nYour kindness has made a meaningful difference in our classroom.

Your support has made a meaningful and immediate difference in the learning experiences of our fifth‑grade students.\r\nOur class recently completed The One and Only Ivan, and was able to continue their reading journey with The One and Only Bob. This transition has been powerful. Students who once described themselves as \"non‑readers\" are now eagerly turning pages, discussing the story with their classmates. Your gift allowed them to experience the joy of reading —something many of them had never done before.\r\n\r\nYour generosity also provided our young historians with beautiful vintage‑style paper to publish their informational writing about the first English colonies in North America. This special paper transformed their work from \"just another assignment\" into something they felt proud to author. Students took great care in revising, editing, and presenting their final pieces, knowing they were creating something worthy of display and celebration. \r\nThese moments—students seeing themselves as readers, writers, and thinkers—are possible because of you. Your support helps us create learning experiences that are memorable, meaningful, and rooted in curiosity and pride.\r\nOn behalf of our entire classroom community, thank you for believing in our students and investing in their growth.

We use it daily for morning meeting, where students gather to greet one another, share ideas, and start the day feeling connected and ready to learn. The rug has also become a favorite space for playing learning games, partner activities, and building important social skills like taking turns, listening, and collaborating.\r\nWhen the students first saw the rug, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately asked when they could sit on it and carefully chose their spots. For many students, having a comfortable, welcoming place to sit together made our classroom feel more like a community. The rug instantly created a calm, inviting environment where students feel safe, included, and excited to be part of our class.\r\nThanks to this project, our next steps include continuing to use the rug as a central space for lessons, read-alouds, and relationship-building activities. Students also enjoy using the rug as a place to relax and read, play games, and even share lunch with the teacher, strengthening connections and trust. Your support provided more than a rug—it gave our students a shared space to learn, grow, and belong.
