Thanks to all of the supplies donated through this classroom project I was able to greet my new fifth grade classes with a stocked up classroom. Supplies needed for success were set out from the first day of school. \r\n\r\nI was able to provide supplies to students who did not/were not able to bring supplies/enough supplies without having them feel any shame for not bringing their supplies in. I was able to direct them to the closet full of supplies that left them in awe and asking me how i \"got all this stuff.\"\r\n\r\nStudents who didn't bring notebooks didn't have to worry about hoarding a ton of loose-leaf paper. Pencils beat up from the first month of September were already replaced. Students with sniffles had tissues instead of rough school bathroom paper. Work has been shown on dry erase boards. Copies of assignments have been made.\r\n\r\nAll in all your generosity has made my students' year a lot more stress free.

I unpacked the styluses, let my first class choose the color stylus that they wanted, and went around labeling the styluses with their computer number as they worked on their math test. It was much easier for them to show their work using their stylus than their fingers. \r\n\r\nThank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1747707451031,"projectUrl":"project/styluses-to-show-our-work/9336880/","projectTitle":"Styluses to Show Our Work","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Belliard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dbelliard"},{"teacherId":2091968,"projectId":9037752,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping our classroom attain three wobble chairs.

My students LOVE having this small couch in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThey love sitting there to complete their work or relaxing there during lunch time. I've even had students who don't feel well or tired students during Ramada choose to take a nap there. It is such a popular and special part of our classroom that I had to create a schedule of who gets to use it when to keep up with the demand.\r\n\r\nThanks to Donors Choose donations we've gotten over the past two years we've gotten this small couch, 3 small floor chairs, and 3 wobble chairs. This has ensured that 8 students during each class session have a fun and comfy place to sit that is not a regular chair.
