Your kindness has made a meaningful and immediate difference in the daily lives of the students I serve.\r\nStudents are already benefiting in significant ways. Children who struggle with big emotions now have access to calming tools that help them reset and return to learning. Our shelves of social–emotional books have made difficult conversations easier, giving students language to express feelings they once could not name. Small-group lessons are more interactive, allowing students to participate with confidence and pride.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than fill shelves—it has uplifted hearts. You have helped create a space where students can learn to cope, connect, and grow. Thank you for believing in our students. Thank you for investing in their potential. And thank you for partnering with me to build a nurturing space where every child can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1755743030384,"projectUrl":"project/stock-the-shelves-fill-the-hearts-help/9566876/","projectTitle":"Stock the Shelves, Fill the Hearts Help Our Students Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oliver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7930471_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755024326940","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7930471"},{"teacherId":4519889,"projectId":9290117,"letterContent":"Thank you immensely for your donation to my project Weeble Wobble.

I love how I can add them to their chair and not have to have a separate piece of furniture. Also, I love how they can be put on and off at each individual students preference.

This year I moved to first grade and these supplies of folders and bins have helped us keep our work organized and easy to use.\r\nThe folders are used in two ways. One way is a daily take home folder. Each child has a folder for them to take all classwork papers and communications to parents home on a daily basis. This helps parents know what we are doing at school on a daily and weekly basis. Another way the folders are used is a class folder. This folder provides a place for students to put work that we are still working on in a safe place until it is finished.\r\nThe bins organize our morning work activities. I use hands on performance based activities. These bins keep everything together. They have been the perfect addition to my classroom organization.\r\nAgain thanks for your donation that is keeping my classroom organized!","fullyFundedDate":1752261611452,"projectUrl":"project/keep-it-organized/9453137/","projectTitle":"Keep It Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Churchman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4519889_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1498845606813","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-churchmanabcxyz"},{"teacherId":9003689,"projectId":7671192,"letterContent":"Thank you all for supporting my project.
