Your thoughtful contributions have truly transformed the learning environment for both my students and me. The items you helped fund—our new ergonomic chair, copy paper, Post-it easel pads, and transparent sticky notes—may seem like simple supplies, but they have made a tremendous difference in our daily routines, lessons, and overall classroom experience.\r\nAs a teacher, I spend countless hours sitting, planning, and working with students in small groups. The new chair has been an absolute game changer. Before, I often found myself struggling with back pain after long days at my desk or on the carpet with students. In a classroom where access to printing and copies can sometimes be limited, having this supply at hand has allowed me to print differentiated reading passages, math practice sheets, and parent communication forms with ease. It has also helped my students access individualized learning materials—something especially important in an ICT (Integrated Co-Teaching) setting where students have different learning needs and accommodations. Instead of waiting days to make copies or rationing paper, I now have the freedom to create meaningful, hands-on resources on the spot.\r\nThe Post-it easel pad has become one of our favorite tools for learning. My students light up when they see a new chart being created. These large, colorful anchor charts help make abstract concepts visible and accessible to everyone. We've used them for everything—from building vocabulary walls and recording our reading discussions, to creating visual math models and steps for solving word problems. Students love when I hang their work around the classroom—it makes them feel proud and represented. Our classroom walls have truly become living evidence of their learning.\r\nThe transparent sticky notes have also been an exciting addition! My students use them to annotate texts during reading groups without marking up the original pages. It's been a wonderful scaffold for my English Language Learners and students with IEPs. They can color-code their thoughts, highlight key details, and jot down questions without the pressure of writing directly in the book. It has encouraged more confident participation during shared reading and built ownership in how they interact with texts.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was contagious. They helped me unpack the boxes, asked about each item, and immediately began suggesting how we could use them. It sparked meaningful conversations about gratitude, generosity, and the power of community—helping them see that people outside our classroom believe in their potential and want to see them succeed.\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using these resources in our ongoing reading and writing units. Students will be using the transparent sticky notes to identify theme and character traits in our novel study, while the easel pad charts will support our discussions on evidence-based reasoning. I'll continue using the chair daily—ensuring I'm physically supported as I support my students in reaching their goals.\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making our classroom a more comfortable, organized, and inspiring place to learn. Your generosity has left a lasting impact—not just on me, but on every child who walks through our door.\r\nWith heartfelt gratitud","fullyFundedDate":1752172868849,"projectUrl":"project/fourth-grade-special-chair/9412160/","projectTitle":"Fourth Grade Special Chair","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelovic","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6103918"},{"teacherId":4893994,"projectId":9670821,"letterContent":"There are no words to express my gratitude for your generosity.
