The students have taken ownership of our coffee station and made it look really cool. The station has helped my students take real ownership of the space, and is teaching them responsibility. It's also been helpful in teaching them how to clean up after themselves, and what their impact in the classroom leaves.\r\nWhen the students first saw the coffee system, they were excited. The students were shocked to learn that they could use the Kuerig as well. It was fun to teach them how to use the machine. Hearing them come up with different coffee-styled drinks, and watching their creativity flow brought me great joy. My plan is to add on to the coffee station, as it adds to the culture of our classroom. The coffee station has also come in handy as we prepare for our upcoming spring show. Since the kids and myself have to work longer days, our coffee station has saved the day many times. \r\nYour contributions help my classes thrive. Your contributions to the arts helps keep art programs like Theatre in schools. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1764440691101,"projectUrl":"project/brewing-creativity-a-coffee-station-for/9908539/","projectTitle":"Brewing Creativity: A Coffee Station for Our Theater Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chapman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9702124"},{"teacherId":8896850,"projectId":9682051,"letterContent":"Your generosity has made its way to my classroom. It was witnessed by my students and me. So, thank you for choosing to share with my project; it has impacted multiple parts of my teaching and classroom.\r\n\r\nThe dyslexia scanner was really useful, and allowed my students to enjoy our class stories, articles, and other texts together with the entire class, without being left behind due to their deficit in reading. They were able to read with their peers, without being shy to ask for help from a teacher to read for them. But from time to time, everyone in the class also enjoys a good read-aloud, just like the old times! My multi-lingual student also praised the handy translator; he said he wished his parents also had the same translator, so they could carry it around. It was much easier compared to having to pull up an app from a computer or phone.\r\n\r\nOur classroom learning and hygiene supplies are restocked, thanks to you! Just in time for this confusing Carolina weather. Thank you, because my students do not have to worry or feel pressured for coming to class without complete materials, because it is made available to them. Our SEL materials are very helpful, and made our journaling and Daily One Good Thing sharing more meaningful.\r\n\r\nThank you as well for helping me with the costs of snacks for our bi-weekly auction. The students look forward to seeing how much money they made from working hard and simply being amazing! And they get to spend it on snacks they love... (mostly sour patch kids!).\r\n\r\nThank you so much, donors. I hope y'all won't get tired of helping us build the future of our changemakers. You just made a difference.

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!

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.
