With so many of the students still remembering COVID, the wipes help the students realize that the desk tops, calculators and shared classroom items are being cleaned. The Lysol wipes are used at the end of each class period to clean all common items. With the tissues the students know that when needed there will be tissues to use for running noses, colds and allergies.\r\n\r\nOur school is in the Las Vegas area where the dust is so bad at times, so having the wipes and tissues helps the students know that I care about their well-being, and want each one of the students to be in school and learning. The students were shocked as to how many tissue boxes that we did receive, because some of them have been using the brown hand towels when we do not have any tissues in class. Again, my students and I are so happy to have gotten fully funded for the tissues and Lysol wipes.","fullyFundedDate":1758636510249,"projectUrl":"project/clean-noses-and-classroom-environment/9741814/","projectTitle":"Clean Noses and Classroom Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Padgett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5880945_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1537228863180","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/suzanne-padgett"},{"teacherId":8168203,"projectId":8006145,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, the new art materials transformed our Life Shield assignment from a simple idea into a vibrant, hands‑on learning experience. Students who once hesitated to share personal stories found the mixed media supplies—textured papers, metallic paints, adhesive foils, and varied brushes—made it easier to express complex feelings visually. The technology we paired with the materials, like digital projectors for demonstrating layering techniques and tablets for sketching initial designs, allowed learners to experiment without fear of ruining their work. This combination of low‑stakes digital sketching and tactile materials built confidence: pupils could refine ideas on screen, then commit confidently to physical pieces knowing they had tested compositions first.\r\n\r\nWhat excited students most was the opportunity to personalize their shields with symbols and textures that mattered to them. Some students used translucent papers to represent vulnerability, while others layered bold metallics to show resilience; the range of supplies made symbolism tangible. A few learners who usually struggle with writing really warmed to the visual storytelling aspect—one student with language processing challenges created a powerful shield whose color choices and collaged images communicated a narrative they couldn't put into words before. Overall, the materials gave every student multiple entry points to engage, reflect, and produce work they were proud to share.","fullyFundedDate":1699711844281,"projectUrl":"project/killgos-class-in-full-color/8006145/","projectTitle":"Killgo's Class in Full Color!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Killgo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8168203"},{"teacherId":1584154,"projectId":8921285,"letterContent":"Students were able to relax after school while doing puzzles.
