While we're still patiently waiting for the new supplies to arrive, the anticipation has already brought so much joy and excitement to our students.\r\n\r\nEvery day, students ask, \"When will the new cage get here?\" or \"Do you think Chick Pea and Cherry will like their new swing?\" Their eagerness has sparked wonderful conversations about preparing for responsibility and what it means to care for animals with kindness and intention. Even without the materials in hand yet, your generosity has already opened the door to meaningful learning.\r\n\r\nWe've begun planning how we'll set up a larger enclosure together, and students are brainstorming ways to organize the bedding, food area, and enrichment toys once everything arrives. They're turning this into a true team effort, one group even sketched out a \"dream layout\" for the guinea pigs' new space!\r\n\r\nOur next steps include creating a care rotation schedule and starting our \"Animal Care Journal\" once the items come in. Students will observe how Chick Pea and Cherry react to their expanded home and reflect on what they're learning about empathy, responsibility, and meeting the needs of living creatures.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving us something so special to look forward to. Your kindness is already making an impact, and we cannot wait to share the next update when Chick Pea and Cherry move into their upgraded home!","fullyFundedDate":1764005395841,"projectUrl":"project/nurturing-kindness-with-chickpea-cherr/9884964/","projectTitle":"Nurturing Kindness With Chickpea & Cherry","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doulis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10335622_orig.png?crop=826,826,x111,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764002165405","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10335622"},{"teacherId":9039150,"projectId":9601680,"letterContent":"We are writing to send a heartfelt thank you for your wonderful donations of headphones, paper, and clean supplies. Your gifts are making a real difference every day. We know many of you are tech-savvy, and we want to explain how these items—especially the headphones—are helping our students learn. The headphones are a key tool for improving focus. They allow students to block out noise and concentrate fully on digital lessons, videos, and reading programs. This focused environment is essential for learning complex subjects and is how we offer personalized learning. Your donation ensures that every student can listen clearly and process information in the way that best helps them succeed in a busy classroom.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part of this donation for our students is the feeling of ownership and independence that comes with having their own supplies. The headphones give them control over their immediate learning space, allowing them to adjust volume and switch easily between group work and quiet study—a level of control they rarely experience in a shared school setting. They are also thrilled to have the new paper and supplies. It gives them a sense of pride and professionalism when they start a project with fresh materials. This combination of new technology and quality supplies makes school tasks feel more engaging and valuable, encouraging students to take charge of their learning.\r\n\r\nWe have seen this new technology make a significant impact on certain students who need it most. Specifically, it has been a game-changer for our English Language Learners (ELL) and students who struggle with concentration. The clear, isolated audio allows ELL students to hear new words and instructions perfectly, helping them learn faster. For students with attention issues, the headphones reduce distractions and sensory overload, allowing them to follow lessons much more effectively. Your generous donation has directly created a more inclusive and productive learning environment for all our students. Thank you for making their success possible.","fullyFundedDate":1759699547518,"projectUrl":"project/tech-and-tools-for-a-clean-focused-clas/9601680/","projectTitle":"Tech and Tools for a Clean, Focused Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9039150_orig.jpg?crop=1235,1235,x46,y710&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755275816576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9039150"},{"teacherId":7172211,"projectId":9481784,"letterContent":"Our new Secret Stories posters have been an incredible addition to our classroom, and we've already started using them daily during our reading and writing lessons. One of the most impactful moments was during a small group reading session when a student who usually struggles with decoding words pointed to the \"Bossy R\" poster and proudly used the trick to read a tricky word on their own. These visual cues have quickly become a go-to reference for many of our students, helping them feel more confident and independent when tackling new words. The posters have turned our walls into interactive learning tools that reinforce phonics rules in a fun and memorable way.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the colorful posters, they were instantly drawn to them—pointing, reading aloud, and asking questions. Their excitement showed just how engaging and accessible the materials are. Moving forward, we'll be using the posters to support our \"Word Detectives\" unit, where students explore patterns and rules in spelling and phonics. With these tools in place, our young readers are better equipped to break down words, build fluency, and develop a deeper love for reading. We are so grateful to our donors for making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1754092817825,"projectUrl":"project/from-abc-to-omg-empower-readers-with-se/9481784/","projectTitle":"From ABC to OMG!

Because of your donation, our classroom received bean bag chairs, a terrarium, fidget toys, and testing dividers—and each item has made a noticeable difference in our daily routines. When the materials arrived, students were overjoyed. The bean bag chairs quickly became the most sought-after spot during independent reading, creating a cozy, calming space that encourages focus and comfort. The fidget toys have been especially helpful for students who need a quiet outlet to stay centered during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe terrarium has sparked genuine curiosity and responsibility in our classroom. Students are eagerly taking turns caring for it, making observations, and recording plant growth as part of our upcoming science unit on ecosystems. The testing dividers have provided a sense of privacy and structure during assessments, helping students concentrate and feel more confident. These resources have created a more inclusive, engaging, and student-centered environment, and we're so excited to continue building on this momentum.
