We are thankful to your organization that continues to bless our lives. \r\n\r\nThis winter break, students went home with warm socks and some students took home their winter coat. In a later project, all coats were funded for my classes. I am at a dual immersion school, so I have two rosters of 30 students.

The writing and art supplies, such as markers, pencils, erasers, and colorful paper, are now used daily for writing assignments, small-group projects, and creative responses to lessons. One specific moment that stood out was during a writing activity where students used the new markers and paper to publish their final drafts. Seeing their work laminated and displayed made them feel proud and motivated, and it reinforced the idea that their learning matters.\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and curious, especially about the timers, laminator, and colorful supplies. The visual timers have already helped students better manage transitions and stay focused during independent work time. Moving forward, students will continue to use these tools to support structured writing lessons, organized project-based learning, and bilingual cultural activities featuring Spanish-speaking country flags. These resources are helping create a more organized, engaging, and supportive learning environment that allows students to focus, build, and grow as learners.","fullyFundedDate":1766272338174,"projectUrl":"project/mental-rest/9646833/","projectTitle":"Mental Rest","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Contreras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9774722_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732133078253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774722"},{"teacherId":9774722,"projectId":9526470,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, my students have been able to engage in hands-on learning experiences that truly brought our classroom to life. From the moment they saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. Many students gathered around the building kits, eager to touch, explore, and ask questions. Several of them exclaimed, \"We get to build this?\" which set a positive and enthusiastic tone for learning.\r\nWe have been using the new resources during STEM centers, small-group activities, and calm-down moments throughout the day. One of the most meaningful classroom moments occurred during a marble run engineering challenge. Students worked collaboratively to design and test their own marble tracks using the magnetic and construction sets. As they experimented, they problem-solved, made predictions, adjusted their designs, and celebrated both successes and mistakes. This project encouraged perseverance, teamwork, and critical thinking in a way that traditional worksheets simply cannot.\r\nThe sensory and emotional regulation tools, such as the stress balls, sensory bottles, and fidgets, have also had an immediate impact. Students who often struggle with focus or emotional regulation now have appropriate tools to help them calm their bodies and refocus, allowing them to participate more fully in learning activities. These resources have helped create a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment.\r\nLooking ahead, students will continue to use these materials in upcoming STEM challenges focused on motion, balance, and cause-and-effect relationships. They will also incorporate the math manipulatives and building kits into problem-solving lessons, where they will design, test, reflect, and improve their ideas. Your support has not only enhanced our current lessons but has also expanded what is possible for future learning experiences.\r\nThank you for allowing my students to learn through exploration, creativity, and collaboration. Your contribution has made a lasting and meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764726081533,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success/9526470/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Contreras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9774722_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732133078253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774722"},{"teacherId":1831032,"projectId":9514480,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation and for fully funding our project.

Most importantly, the students enjoy wobbling around safely while they learn.\r\n\r\nStudents were excited to open up our new hokki stools and begin using them.
