Once the packages arrived students were excited for the machine to be put together as everyone wanted to be the first to use it. Students have expressed how they enjoy using weight instead of resistance bands. They have even asked when we are getting another machine.\r\n\r\nStudents also enjoy the dumbbells and wrist/forearm developers. Before, students would have to utilize two different dumbbell weights to complete their set. The wrist/forearm developers have helped those looking to improve grip strength and build stronger forearms. Overall, the equipment has given them access to better equipment and enjoy the benefits of working out.","fullyFundedDate":1768854908809,"projectUrl":"project/strong-bodies-build-strong-minds/10042404/","projectTitle":"Strong Bodies Build Strong Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mac","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10412858"},{"teacherId":9353204,"projectId":10038448,"letterContent":"My students want to thank-you for funding our needed school supplies this school year.

I allow movement in my class and students may sit on the floor, in their desks or stand. Using the clipboards/whiteboards allows all students to be engaged in the learning. I have students that have ADD/ADHD and this really helps these students to concentrate on what I am teaching. Using the stickers as motivation and as rewards along with the candy gives students a fun feeling of looking in our classroom treasure box. \r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled when they opened the boxes and saw all of the items that we needed for the 2nd Semester. The students helped find a central location for the whiteboard/clipboards and markers for anyone to get and not interrupt another student.\r\n\r\nI will be continuing to use the clipboards/whiteboards this year and years to come. To allow the students access of how each learns best has been a huge eye-opening especially working with seniors most of the day then 1 section of freshmen. \r\nThanks so much!","fullyFundedDate":1768700499425,"projectUrl":"project/second-semester-supplies/10010939/","projectTitle":"Second Semester Supplies","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":5880945,"projectId":9817226,"letterContent":"My students were so happy to see the whiteboard/clipboards.

Along with the board were also the whiteboard markers.

They smiled and eagerly explored each item, especially the fidget Solar System toys and threading boards. These tools are now part of our daily routine. Students use them to stay calm and focused during lessons, and I've noticed they are much more engaged. One student who used to have trouble staying in his seat now keeps a fidget toy close by, which helps him stay grounded and take part in class activities with more confidence.\r\n\r\nThe hands-on science kits have made our lessons even more exciting. During a recent crystal growing experiment, students were fascinated to see the changes happen over time. This led to great conversations and questions about science topics like matter and energy. The STEM and life skills resources have helped us connect what we learn in class to real life, like measuring ingredients for a recipe or working together on simple coding projects. These activities are helping my students feel more confident about using what they learn.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generous support, my students are learning to self-regulate, work together, and think critically in ways that go beyond the classroom. We are now planning a new science unit to explore cause and effect with more of the experiment kits you provided. Thank you so much for giving my students the tools they need to succeed, both in their studies and in their social and emotional growth.","fullyFundedDate":1765948862813,"projectUrl":"project/building-confidence-one-lesson-at-a-tim/9603679/","projectTitle":"Building Confidence, One Lesson at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brad McKee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9347514"},{"teacherId":1930679,"projectId":9994703,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping my students with technology.

Emotionally, this is helping students feel more comfortable about sharing their work and doing work \"in front\" of the class, without actually having to stand in front of the class. This has helped them to open up and volunteer in class.\r\nThe other items purchased are for daily use with my students.

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.

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.
