Your donation makes a huge impact on my 5th graders and I am so proud to partner with you in preparing these young citizens for middle school and beyond!\r\n\r\nOur project's materials have already been put to good use. My students were thrilled to have the new stools to sit on when we meet in small reading groups. They are sturdy and much safer than the worn and bent stools we used previously. The pencil sharpener already replaced the one we had to throw out earlier in the year. \r\n\r\nMy student's favorite activities throughout the year are the escape rooms that require them to work together to solve problems and find clues to \"escape.\" The envelopes and caution tape are essential for these popular activities. \r\n\r\nAnd finally, the pencils and earbuds are already selling like hotcakes! The students spend their school \"Mack money\" to purchase items that need replacing. Mechanical pencils are always the favorite. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1768772116067,"projectUrl":"project/reading-resources/10040068/","projectTitle":"Reading Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1551398_orig.jpg?crop=1344,1344,x1920,y614&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1644387546860","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1551398"},{"teacherId":9549076,"projectId":10029956,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our PE classes have gone from boring drills to energetic, coordinated, and joyful movement. A portable speaker might seem small, but for our students, it's been the heartbeat of the gym.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors use speakers at home for background music, but in PE, that music is a teaching tool. Students learn to skip, jump rope, or dribble a basketball to a beat, which improves coordination and motor planning in ways that counting out loud never could. We also use call-and-response songs to help English learners and shy students follow along without feeling singled out. During circuit training, we change songs to signal station rotations, so students transition smoothly on their own instead of waiting for a whistle. And during cool-down stretches, calm music helps students regulate their heart rate and emotions after high-energy games. That mix of rhythm, routine, and regulation has completely changed how our classes flow.","fullyFundedDate":1768689476431,"projectUrl":"project/portable-speaker/10029956/","projectTitle":"Portable Speaker","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Jimmy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9549076"},{"teacherId":9366341,"projectId":10009588,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our kindergarten classroom. Your donations are already part of our daily routine. The electric pencil sharpener keeps our day moving without interruptions. Students take pride in keeping their pencils ready, and it saves us time during lessons. The purple glue sticks have made projects cleaner and easier. Students can see where they apply glue, which helps them stay neat and confident with their work. The double sided magnetic letter tiles have become a favorite during literacy time. We use them to build words, practice sounds, and explore simple sentences in a hands on way.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were eager to try everything and stayed more engaged during activities. They feel more independent and capable, which shows in their effort and focus. Moving forward, I will continue using these tools to build strong reading and writing foundations. We will expand into more word building games, sentence creation, and small group activities that support each student's level. Your support has made a clear difference in how we learn each day, and I truly appreciate your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1768879105745,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-read-so-that-we-can-read-to/10009588/","projectTitle":"Learning to Read So That We Can Read to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Medrano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9366341_orig.png?crop=1518,1517,x0,y35&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768176331228","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9366341"},{"teacherId":9368791,"projectId":10011463,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my kindergarten classroom has been transformed into an engaging, supportive space where students can truly thrive. They have the tools to explore their curiosity in meaningful ways every day. They are able to use the iPad to interact with learning activities that meet them where they are, draw, and record their voices. This has been especially powerful for students who are still developing fine motor and language skills by providing ways to help them express their thinking and build greater confidence. \r\n\r\nThe math manipulatives have made a huge difference in how students understand and engage with math concepts. Instead of just hearing about numbers and shapes, they are actively exploring, building and problem-solving. Their eyes light up with excitement as they discover solutions and share what they know.\r\n\r\nOur classroom has also grown stronger. The teacher chair has created a welcoming space where students feel safe, connected and eager to participate. The treasure box supplies have encouraged positive behavior, perseverance, and a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Because of your kindness, my students are not only building foundational academic skills, but also developing independence, confidence, and a true love of learning.
