The students have loved using your donations to explore the different elements of music this year!\r\n\r\nEvery time I took out the parachute no matter the grade, I always get cheers! This resource has been great for learning form and has developed team work in my room! They love getting to use the parachute for listening activities and imaginative play!\r\n\r\nI was also able to use the finger cymbals and sand blocks with several grades! In Kindergarten and First Grade, we explored how to use them while imagining different types of weather. The sand blocks were perfect to create wind sounds and the finger cymbals were excellent for falling snow flake sounds!\r\n\r\nWithout your generosity, so much creativity and whimsy would never have made it to our music room this year!","fullyFundedDate":1755643966690,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-music-at-scissortail/9624297/","projectTitle":"Exploring Music at Scissortail","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ely","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10189579_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y355&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755614419221","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10189579"},{"teacherId":5425121,"projectId":9464159,"letterContent":"The DonorsChoose donations of classroom essentials, have had a powerful impact on our second-grade classroom. These basic supplies ensure that every student has the tools they need to fully participate in daily learning activities without feeling left out or unprepared.\r\n\r\nWith access to crayons, colored pencils, and erasers, students are able to express their creativity, illustrate their ideas, and engage more deeply in lessons across subjects. Whether they are solving math problems, completing writing assignments, or working on art projects, these materials help bring their learning to life and make activities more meaningful and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nErasers may seem small, but they play an important role in building confidence. Students feel more comfortable taking risks and trying new strategies when they know mistakes can be easily corrected. This encourages a growth mindset and helps them develop perseverance.\r\n\r\nOverall, these essential supplies create a more equitable, engaging, and supportive learning environment. Students are better equipped, more confident, and excited to learn each day, which has a direct positive impact on their academic success and classroom experience.","fullyFundedDate":1755721550433,"projectUrl":"project/second-grade-classroom-essentials/9464159/","projectTitle":"Second Grade Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lennox~Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5425121_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659978398140","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-lennoxdavis"},{"teacherId":5425121,"projectId":9521487,"letterContent":"The donations I received through DonorsChoose, specifically the Kleenex, hand sanitizer, and Clorox wipes, have had a meaningful and immediate impact on my classroom environment. These essential supplies help maintain a clean, healthy, and comfortable space where students can focus on learning rather than distractions caused by illness or discomfort.\r\n\r\nWith a consistent supply of Kleenex, students are better able to manage seasonal allergies, colds, and everyday needs without disrupting instruction or feeling self-conscious. This small but important resource promotes both hygiene and dignity, especially for younger students who may otherwise hesitate to speak up when they need something.\r\n\r\nThe hand sanitizer has become a regular part of our classroom routine. Students use it when entering the room, before and after activities, and during transitions. This habit has helped reinforce the importance of personal responsibility and health awareness, while also reducing the spread of germs. As a result, I've noticed fewer interruptions due to minor illnesses and more consistent attendance.\r\n\r\nClorox wipes have allowed us to keep high-touch surfaces such as desks, shared materials, and classroom tools—clean throughout the day. Not only does this support a healthier environment, but it also gives students a sense of shared responsibility. Many of them take pride in helping wipe down their spaces, which fosters teamwork and respect for our classroom community.\r\n\r\nOverall, these donations have contributed to a safer, more organized, and more supportive learning environment. By reducing health-related disruptions and promoting cleanliness, they allow us to spend more time focused on instruction, collaboration, and growth. The impact goes beyond physical health—it helps create a classroom culture where students feel cared for, prepared, and ready to learn every day.","fullyFundedDate":1755729273005,"projectUrl":"project/kleenex-hand-sanitizer-and-clorox-wipe/9521487/","projectTitle":"Kleenex, Hand Sanitizer, and Clorox Wipes for our Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lennox~Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5425121_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659978398140","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-lennoxdavis"},{"teacherId":2789006,"projectId":9622789,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to help us get a sensory table for our first grade classroom.

It supports learning, independence and can even help with some behavior needs. When students don't have a tactile outlet fidgeting, and off task behavior can show up.
