They also play a crucial role in enhancing our critical reading skills curriculum. Each week, my students eagerly look forward to exploring the exciting content provided in these magazines, which helps them become more able readers, interested learners, and capable citizens.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a significant impact on the learning experiences of my young students. It is truly inspiring to see them engage with the material, develop their literacy skills, and cultivate a passion for learning. Your support has helped create a rich educational environment where my students can thrive.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and commitment to education.

They love having autonomy to choose a tool to help them regulate whenever needed, and they've been doing well understanding the purpose of the materials as tools rather than toys.\r\n\r\nIt has opened up several good discussions around the sensory experiences and preferences for different students.

We have added a few pictures of our auction and store from today. The BEST part of today's auction was that many used their classroom currency to purchase items for siblings or parents for the holidays.

The Sensory Floor Tiles were a huge hit with all the students. The students love having mini breaks to step on them or even sit on them during our lessons. My younger grades also love the new Ninja Life Hacks Leadership and Growth Mindset box sets. They talk about how to model bravery and inclusion, and practice positive self-talk. Our Hermelindo the axolotl plush is the go-to \"calming friend\"—students squeeze it, breathe, and sometimes they hold him during lessons to help focus. The mini candy dispenser is a tiny-but-mighty motivator and self-management tool: students earn candy on specific days by meeting a goal like using a coping strategy or waiting their turn.\r\n\r\nAlso, students use the conversation cards to role-play real scenarios—joining a group, handling angry moments, or repairing mistakes. We also practice partner roles (leader/listener) to work on active listening, I-statements, and respectful turn-taking. These materials turned our room into a joyful dojo where students identify feelings, choose coping tools, and collaborate with confidence—thank you for making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1760714006344,"projectUrl":"project/ninjas-and-the-lava-floor/9675403/","projectTitle":"Ninjas and the Lava Floor!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Holz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9657487"},{"teacherId":10178007,"projectId":9597520,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom. As a first-year teacher, having access to quality materials truly makes a difference for both me and my students. The high-quality headphones you provided have had an impact on our reading instruction. My students use an AI generated reading program that gives them individual support on their level. The headphones allow each student to hear their tutor clearly without being distracted by surrounding noise. This has helped create a calm and focused learning environment where students can confidently work at their own pace. This has also freed up time for me to work individually with students who need more support. \r\n\r\nThe whiteboards you donated has also become an essential part of our classroom routines. They allow for quick, meaningful interaction during lessons. Students eagerly hold up their boards to show thinking, and I'm able to check for understanding instantly. This has increased engagement and helped me better tailor my instruction to their needs. In addition, the storage cart had been incredibly beneficial. My classroom has limited storage space, and the cart has allowed me to organize materials efficiently.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my students and helping us build a classroom where learning is organized, interactive, and joyful. Your kindness is making a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1755738944387,"projectUrl":"project/help-a-first-year-teacher-get-set-up/9597520/","projectTitle":"Help a First-Year Teacher Get Set Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10178007"},{"teacherId":7017874,"projectId":9434488,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom. One of the items that was on my list was a pizza counter. The kids have really loved using this and it is a great tool for my classroom. Some kids have a hard time coming to school so they will come to my classroom first as a soft place to land. We will play with the pizza counter as a way for them to calm down and feel comfortable at school so they can transition to class. I also use it to get to know the kids that I will be working with. Playing with the pizza counter is a way to get to know each other. Playing is kids work and a way for them to work through some things.\r\n\r\nThe book Worry Warriors has different breathing techniques to help kids self-regulate. Each class in our school came to my room last month and we practiced using some of the breathing techniques in the book. It was so wonderful to hear the feedback from the kids. They talked about how relaxed they were and how much better they felt after doing that. \r\n\r\nThe Kleenex boxes have been very helpful as well because many of the kids I work with are going through very hard things and there are many tears at times. I have these placed throughout my room so that kids can have access to them whenever needed.\r\n\r\nThanks again for helping me provide things for the students in my school.","fullyFundedDate":1755738945657,"projectUrl":"project/strengthening-skills-resilience-through/9434488/","projectTitle":"Strengthening Skills: Resilience Through Reading and Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maxfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7017874"},{"teacherId":2491418,"projectId":9507224,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of headphones, colored pencils, sketchbooks, and Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards to our 4th grade classroom!

The students couldn't wait to get their hands on the materials to begin their engineering challenges and problem-solving activities.\r\n\r\nWe are already putting these wonderful resources to good use in a variety of engaging projects. For one specific classroom project, we tasked students with designing a spider web using only the popsicle sticks you provided and cups. Then they had to see how many spiders they could fit on their web. It was an incredible moment to watch them collaborate, test different architectural principles, and problem-solve in real-time as their webs began to take shape. The room was buzzing with communication and critical thinking. I love watching my students' wheels start turning as they are learning.

Students can also practice inferring; gathering information from what characters say and the pictures.

At the heart of my educational mission is the desire to ignite a lifelong love of learning in my students. With your support, I have taken a significant step towards this goal by enriching our classroom library with a variety of mentor texts focused on writing, math, and community building.\r\n\r\nThe inclusion of mentor texts in our library has transformed the way my students engage with reading and writing. These texts serve as exemplary models that inspire young writers by demonstrating effective writing techniques and styles. Students now have daily opportunities to observe and analyze the intricacies of language and storytelling, leading to noticeable improvements in their writing capabilities. \r\n\r\nAlongside literacy, your support has allowed me to introduce a series of math-focused books that have simplified complex concepts for my students. Through engaging narratives and relatable scenarios, these books make math accessible and enjoyable, bridging the gap between abstract numbers and real-world applications. \r\n\r\nPerhaps one of the most significant impacts of the \"Books for Bright Beginnings\" project has been its role in fostering community within my classroom. The books on community building have sparked meaningful conversations about empathy, respect, and the importance of working together. These discussions have been instrumental in creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and heard. \r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and for believing in the potential of my young learners.
