However, because of your generosity, I am able to support the needs of my students whenever they ask and over time, the awkwardness goes away. \r\n\r\nWhen I first introduced them to the project and explained my goal - to provide them with feminine hygiene supplies but also band-aids, hair brushes, chapstick, Vaseline, hand sanitizer, deodorant, and more - I was met with confusion. I don't think they fully understood my intention or even why I had all of these supplies in my classroom. I created a poster that listed the supplies available to them and posted it in two different places in my classroom. Even though a student might feel awkward asking me for something, I am glad they do and I don't make a big deal out of it. I simply give them what they need without any questions. \r\n\r\nHaving a hygiene closet in my classroom creates a more inclusive classroom environment and communicates to students that I am there to support them in any way possible. As the year progresses, I am taking note of the items my students use frequently and which items I might stock in the future. \r\n\r\nI am grateful that through your generosity, I was able to create a hygiene closet in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755697233668,"projectUrl":"project/stay-fresh-stay-focused/9583434/","projectTitle":"Stay Fresh, Stay Focused","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gaul","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9346974_orig.jpg?crop=427,427,x0,y106&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698767635146","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9346974"},{"teacherId":375387,"projectId":9185985,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our Chess Club project was a complete success!

Excitement filled the room as the unboxing began. As I revealed our new VR headset, several eager volunteers jumped to their feet offering to \"try it out\". As a class, we spent a few moments reviewing the instructions and setting expectations for shared use. Once everything was set up, we took turns exploring Salem, Massachusetts and scenes from The Crucible, traveled to distant shores, and played a few games that got our heart rates going. For several of my students, it was their first time trying on a VR headset and they were most excited about all of its apps and endless possibilities for exploration and play. \r\n\r\nAs this new school year gets underway, we are looking forward to unveiling more uses for our VR headset and seeing where else it can take us. This technology is helping my students imagine literature beyond books and words on paper. It is giving them insight into old and new worlds while encouraging curiosity and discovery.
