Your support has truly made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nBecause of the stools, I am now able to comfortably pull small groups to the table for targeted instruction. This has been especially valuable during intervention time, as it allows me to work more closely with students and provide the focused support they need.\r\n\r\nThe abundance of highlighters, Expo markers, and pencils ensures that students always have the tools they need to complete their daily work without interruption. I've also been able to create RTI intervention stations with bags that include whiteboards, dry erase markers, and microfiber erasers, making our small-group work more interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe laminating sheets will be used to create durable math work mats for specific RTI skill practice, allowing students to repeatedly practice key concepts. Additionally, the special pencils, erasers, and other fun items are being used as incentives to encourage strong effort and growth in XtraMath fact practice.\r\n\r\nYour generosity directly supports student learning, engagement, and success. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity you've given my classroom through your thoughtful contributions. Thank you for investing in our students and in their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1760878664462,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-ks-2025-class/9440474/","projectTitle":"Mrs. K’s 2025 class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kiesewetter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10067668_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751310182662","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10067668"},{"teacherId":4708747,"projectId":9461398,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation for our new and exciting golf unit!
