We are overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. My students were so excited to help me unbox our new supplies and put them to use.\r\n\r\nThe dry erase markers have been getting quite the workout! We use the markers to help with letter formation, spelling, and number skills. The dry erase pockets have also made practice sheets more fun and easier to complete without needing to constantly run to the copier. The crayons have filled our work with color! We love being creative and the crayons have helped make our work complete. \r\n\r\nThe class favorite would have to be all of our new magnet supplies! The magnetic tiles and fishing game are an engaging way for my students to practice their letter and phonic skills. The magnetic letters have helped my class build words, blend sounds, and develop spelling skills needed for years to come. We love them all! \r\n\r\nThank you once again for contributing to my classroom project!","fullyFundedDate":1756263425921,"projectUrl":"project/learning-is-fun/9617066/","projectTitle":"Learning Is Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1551821_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557173475347","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1551821"},{"teacherId":3541360,"projectId":9467529,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous book donation.

Only 2 students were able to supply headphones, so the headphones you provided made all my students happy! We have enough pencils and crayons for the school year now!

My students were able to take learning to another level because of you. \r\n\r\nWe incorporated colorful motivational tools, such as growth mindset posters, sticker charts, and affirmation cards. When a student felt stuck, they could choose an affirmation, such as \"I am a problem-solver\" or \"Mistakes help me learn,\" to boost their confidence. It completely changed the tone of our math block—students started encouraging each other naturally.\r\nWhen they saw the board games, posters, and stickers, their faces absolutely lit up. There were gasps and cheers when I brought out the boxes. One student exclaimed, \"Is this really for us?\" It was like Christmas morning in the classroom. Many of my students don't have access to materials like these at home, so being able to explore and experiment so freely was a big deal for them. The excitement hasn't worn off either—they keep asking when we'll get to use these items again!
