Your support makes a meaningful difference in our classroom each day. These materials may seem simple, but they truly transform how our students learn, practice skills, and participate in lessons. Because of your generosity, our third graders now have tools that make learning more interactive, engaging, and accessible for every learner.\r\nDry erase boards allow students to practice writing, math problems, spelling patterns, and quick responses in a way that feels fun and low-pressure. Instead of worrying about making mistakes, students can easily erase and try again, which encourages a growth mindset and builds confidence. When students know their ideas don't have to be perfect the first time, they take more risks, share more often, and learn more deeply. These boards help create a supportive environment where learning is active and mistakes are seen as part of the process.\r\nThe dry erase markers you donated allow students to express their thinking clearly and work through problems step-by-step. Whether they are practicing multiplication strategies, writing complete sentences, or sketching diagrams for science, having access to fresh markers helps them stay engaged and focused. It also ensures that no student feels left out because they lack materials. Every child has the opportunity to participate equally, which strengthens our classroom community and improves academic success.\r\nYour donation of erasers is equally impactful. These erasers help students keep their boards clean and ready for learning throughout the day. It might sound small, but having dependable erasers helps students stay organized and take pride in their workspaces. It reduces frustration, saves classroom time, and teaches students responsibility as they care for their materials. Your contribution ensures that students can move quickly from one activity to the next and stay enthusiastic about hands-on learning.\r\nBeyond the supplies themselves, your generosity sends an important message to our students: that people in their community believe in them and want to support their education. Knowing that someone cares enough to donate gives students a sense of pride and belonging, motivating them to work even harder. It helps create a positive school experience where students feel valued and encouraged to do their best.\r\nBecause of your kindness, our lessons can be more interactive, collaborative, and creative. We can play learning games, work through problems together, and give students immediate feedback. The tools you provided will be used daily, not only this year but for years to come. You have helped build a classroom environment where students can learn with enthusiasm and confidence.\r\nThank you again for your thoughtful and generous contribution. You have made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1761754138041,"projectUrl":"project/dry-erase-away/9832478/","projectTitle":"Dry Erase Away","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cernera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4149694_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1484586140825","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4149694"},{"teacherId":499123,"projectId":9623111,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping us get food and treats for our class pet Domino.

Your thoughtful contribution has made a meaningful and lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly thankful for your support.\r\nThese materials may seem simple, but they are essential tools in a busy and creative learning environment like ours. Because of your generosity, we've been able to enhance our instruction, create engaging materials, and build a more organized and welcoming classroom space for our students.\r\nThe laminating sheets have allowed us to preserve learning tools that can be used over and over again. From vocabulary word cards to math games and classroom rules, we are now able to make resources more durable and student-friendly. Laminated materials help us save time and resources, and they hold up well through daily use by eager hands. One of our favorite projects this year was a \"Reading Buddy Passport\" that students use to track their progress with their classroom reading partners. Thanks to the laminating sheets, the passports have stayed intact and in great condition!\r\nThe printer paper has also been a tremendous help. It may seem like a basic supply, but it's absolutely essential in our daily activities. From printing worksheets, homework packets, reading passages, and student-created stories, to classroom newsletters for families, your donation has kept our learning moving forward without interruption. Having a consistent supply of printer paper on hand helps us adapt our lessons and provide students with personalized learning materials right when they need them.\r\nThe chart paper has transformed our classroom walls into vibrant learning spaces. We've used it to create anchor charts during group lessons, visual reminders of key concepts, student brainstorming sessions, and classroom goals. The students take pride in seeing their ideas displayed around the room, and these visuals reinforce important lessons every day. Whether it's a chart about the writing process or steps to solve multiplication problems, these tools are invaluable for reinforcing learning in a meaningful, student-centered way.\r\nYour donation has not only helped meet practical needs, but it has also inspired creativity and collaboration among our students. It has given us the freedom to plan more engaging lessons and create an environment that fosters curiosity and ownership of learning.\r\nMore importantly, your generosity sends a strong message to our students—that people outside the classroom care deeply about their education and believe in their success. That kind of encouragement is powerful and deeply appreciated.\r\nThank you once again for your support and generosity. You have truly made a difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our extended school community.","fullyFundedDate":1760105205215,"projectUrl":"project/paper-it-up/9770860/","projectTitle":"Paper It Up!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cernera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4149694_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1484586140825","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4149694"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_416","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":600,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.6,"schoolId":416,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 121 Throop on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 121 Throop","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-121-throop/416"}
