I am deeply grateful for your support and in your trust. Thank you for uplifting teachers and children! We feel lucky to have people who want us to have access to the materials we need to do our best learning and teaching. \r\n\r\nYour donations have helped us have flexible seating opportunities with both the wobbly cushions and the Fidget Kick Bands. These materials give our students who need extra sensory input and/or a movement preference the chance to have that as an option. \r\n\r\nSome of the other materials that have been super helpful have been the basic supplies like the chart paper and the markers. Both the chart paper and colorful markers allowed me to create supportive anchor charts of relevant work the students were working on like content-specific vocabulary.

We had just started our end-of-unit project in collaboration with their history teacher on ancient civilizations, and the timing couldn't have been better. Students used the new sculpting tools, clay, various paint supplies to design artifacts inspired by Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Some created clay tablets with cuneiform writing, while others painted Greek-inspired pottery designs or sketched Egyptian hieroglyphics. The variety of materials allowed every student to choose a medium that best matched their creative vision, which made their projects feel more personal and meaningful.\r\nTheir reaction when they first saw the supplies was priceless—many of them gasped, cheered, and immediately began brainstorming what they wanted to make. Since we had been working with very limited supplies while transitioning from an art room to a cart, this felt like a big upgrade. The students were excited to finally be able to work with quality materials that let them take their ideas to the next level.\r\nFinally, the students were able to display their finished projects in the hallway as a \"museum exhibit\" so that other students and teachers can see what they've learned about ancient civilizations. This gave the 6th graders an authentic audience and a sense of pride in their work. We'll also continue building on this momentum by introducing new projects that use these materials, helping students explore more complex techniques throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1746625898734,"projectUrl":"project/art-on-a-cart-engaging-our-creative-re/9134745/","projectTitle":"Art on a Cart: Engaging Our Creative, Relocated 6th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lydon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721714"},{"teacherId":576191,"projectId":8768805,"letterContent":"Sorry for my delay in getting back to you on this project!
