Your kindness has made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students, and I am incredibly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have access to essential tools that directly strengthen their reading and writing skills every single day. The word mapping supplies you provided have become a cornerstone of our phonics instruction. We use them in both whole-group lessons and small-group interventions to help students break words apart, identify sound patterns, and build strong decoding and spelling skills. Watching students confidently map sounds, manipulate phonemes, and apply what they learn to real reading tasks has been truly rewarding. These materials have helped make abstract phonics concepts concrete and accessible—especially for students who need that extra hands-on support.\r\n\r\nThe tablets you donated have quickly become one of the most loved tools in our classroom. Students are highly engaged when using them to write and practice their phonics words, and they are eager to show what they know. The tablets allow students to write, erase, revise, and try again without fear of making mistakes, which has boosted both their confidence and their willingness to take academic risks. I've seen students who once hesitated to write now jump at the opportunity to practice their learning, simply because they feel empowered by the tools you helped provide.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the remaining supplies you donated have filled critical gaps in our classroom and allow me to provide basic, high-quality instruction to all students. In a Title I classroom like mine, these everyday materials are not always readily available, yet they are absolutely essential. Your donation ensures that students have what they need to fully participate in lessons, stay organized, and focus on learning rather than on what they might be missing.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your generosity sends a powerful message to my students: that their education matters and that people in their community believe in them. That message is priceless. Your support helps create a classroom environment where students feel valued, supported, and capable of success.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students, our classroom, and their future. The impact of your donation reaches far beyond the supplies themselves—it shows in increased confidence, stronger skills, and a love of learning that grows each day. I am truly thankful for your generosity and support.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\nJessica Gillespie\r\nThird Grade Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1763002247205,"projectUrl":"project/thriving-in-third/9884289/","projectTitle":"Thriving in Third","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gillespie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10073529"},{"teacherId":3059860,"projectId":9078003,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to fund this project.
