Your donations have already made a big difference in our daily routines. My students were so excited when they first saw the new supplies—especially the presharpened Ticonderoga pencils. They started using them right away during writing time and kept commenting on how smooth they felt.\r\n\r\nThe EXPO wipes have been a lifesaver. We use our whiteboards constantly during math and small groups, and having clean boards every day helps us stay focused and organized. The Clorox wipes have also helped us keep our classroom healthy and welcoming.\r\n\r\nThe laptop stand has made my teaching station much more comfortable and has helped me model lessons more clearly for the whole class. And the rolling cart has become our \"rotations hub\"—it stays in one spot, fully stocked with everything students need during reading and math rotations. It's made transitions easier and helped students stay independent.","fullyFundedDate":1757683047500,"projectUrl":"project/beginning-of-the-school-year/9560480/","projectTitle":"Beginning of the School Year","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Abrahimzadeh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9731559_orig.png?crop=200,200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754667149265","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9731559"},{"teacherId":9731559,"projectId":9577604,"letterContent":"The new whiteboards and stools have made such a difference during our small-group time. My students use the whiteboards to solve math problems, jot down reading notes, and quickly show their thinking. The stools have helped create a cozy, focused space where groups can gather and actually want to work together. One of my favorite early moments was watching a group excitedly compare different strategies for the same math problem—they were so proud to share their ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw everything set up, they were genuinely thrilled. A few of them immediately sat on the stools and said, \"These are so cool!\" Others grabbed the whiteboards and started doodling or writing their names. Their excitement made the whole classroom feel lighter and more energized.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward in our reading and math units, the students will keep using these materials to practice explaining their thinking and working together. The whiteboards make it easy for them to share ideas, and the stools help our small-group time feel special and intentional.
