The supplies helped keep our classroom fresh, organized, and healthy, creating a cleaner and more comfortable space for everyone to learn. The food donations meant so much to our students and families, bringing extra care and support to those who needed it most. We are deeply thankful for the kindness and generosity of the donors who made this possible. Your thoughtful contributions have not only met practical needs but have also shown our students the power of community and compassion.","fullyFundedDate":1755699417787,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school/9442108/","projectTitle":"Back to School!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gober","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9080716_orig.jpg?crop=2735,2735,x0,y510&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687363102780","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9080716"},{"teacherId":9101973,"projectId":9294699,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our first grade classroom! Your donations helped us get soft building blocks, highlighters for reading and sight word practice, pencil pouches to keep supplies organized, and a gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers—which I've used to purchase engaging and hands-on first grade centers. Every one of these items has added so much value to our daily routines and learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe soft building blocks have been a big hit during our indoor recess and center time, encouraging creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. The highlighters have become a favorite tool during reading—we use them to find sight words, highlight key details, and build fluency in a fun, interactive way. The pencil pouches help keep each student's materials in one place, promoting independence and responsibility. And the TPT centers have added exciting new ways to reinforce math and literacy skills in small groups. Thank you for helping me create a classroom environment that's not only organized and efficient, but also full of energy, joy, and meaningful learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746999809149,"projectUrl":"project/essential-tools-for-success/9294699/","projectTitle":"Essential Tools for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9101973"},{"teacherId":9101973,"projectId":9249859,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our first grade classroom! Your donations provided us with little readers for guided reading, markers, headphones for iReady, Play-Doh, index cards for flashcards, and fidgets and books for our calm down corner. These resources have already made a big impact on both our learning and our classroom environment. My students are more engaged, focused, and excited to learn each day because of your kindness.\r\n\r\nThe little readers you helped provide have been especially powerful during our guided reading groups. With them, students are practicing key early literacy skills—like decoding words, recognizing sight words, using context clues, and retelling stories. Reading time in our classroom is full of joy and growth. You might see small groups working with me, students whisper-reading independently, or reading with a partner. One student, who was previously hesitant to read, has fallen in love with a series of books about animals—he now proudly shares facts from the stories with his classmates. It's truly heartwarming to see this transformation. Thank you for helping to create a space where every student feels seen, supported, and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1746999809553,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success-supplies-for-our-new/9249859/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success: Supplies for Our New Classroom Adventure","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9101973"},{"teacherId":6392416,"projectId":8870980,"letterContent":"A Mid-Year Check In:\r\n\r\nWe are continuing to learn as much as we can as we build our skills in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
