I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation that made it possible for our classroom to receive a new rotating bookshelf. Thanks to your support, my students now have a beautiful and functional space to store and access English and Spanish books, making a significant difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe bookshelf has already made a positive impact in our classroom. It not only helps keep our space organized but also inspires our students to engage with books in a new way. They are excited to choose books that interest them with specific genres, and the accessibility of our growing library has sparked a love of reading among them. Seeing their faces light up as they explore new books or select books from their favorite collections or authors has been a truly rewarding experience for both me and the students. Your donation goes beyond just providing furniture, it is an investment in our students' futures. \r\n\r\nOn behalf of my entire 5th grade bilingual class, I thank you once again for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to us, and we are so grateful for the difference you've made in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762782004030,"projectUrl":"project/where-are-my-libros/9829160/","projectTitle":"Where are My Libros?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2246840_orig.jpg?crop=1079,1079,x0,y205&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747310000825","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2246840"},{"teacherId":155410,"projectId":9551366,"letterContent":"I work as a teacher librarian in two schools where my job is to engage students in literacy and increase the circulation of our books in the library, amongst other tasks. One of the things students love when they come into our libraries is to see which bookmarks we have available for them to use in the books they're reading. We try to keep a good collection so kids are excited to get a bookmark to go with their new library books! \r\n Your generosity will allow us to make sure kids have bookmarks to incentivize them to check out new books. Our older kids are especially keen about getting bookmarks to save their place in the chapter books they are reading. \r\n Thank you for your donations from myself and my students.","fullyFundedDate":1764629249431,"projectUrl":"project/keep-your-place/9551366/","projectTitle":"Keep Your Place!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp155410_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694635509730","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/srasanchez"},{"teacherId":199833,"projectId":9399445,"letterContent":"My students and I are using the new resources in a very positive and meaningful way. Having snacks available allows students to focus more fully on the lessons without the distraction of hunger. They are more engaged, calmer, and overall happier in class. Knowing that food is available also helps them feel safe and supported, which creates a more comfortable learning environment where they can concentrate and participate with confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were genuinely excited. They were happy to see the snacks and appreciated having a variety of choices. Many students expressed how much they liked having the freedom to eat when they felt hungry rather than worry about what they could eat and when it would be available. This sense of choice and care made them feel valued, and it set a positive tone in the classroom from the very beginning. Without your help, none of this would have been possible.

Anyone who is interested in using it is free to do, however, only in groups of four so their is no chaos. They got really creative with them. Some did color sorting with the buttons, some did patterns with them, and some used the number ones to put the numbers in order.\r\nIt has been really wonderful to see them use the different manipulatives for our light table to increase their sensorimotor development.","fullyFundedDate":1763693445465,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-creativity-through-light-table/9626799/","projectTitle":"Capturing creativity through light table manipultives","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bragg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2543438_orig.jpg?crop=1433,1433,x563,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727303576197","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2543438"},{"teacherId":1879555,"projectId":9511535,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our classroom community circle carpet has already made a meaningful difference in our daily routines and learning environment. My students and I use the carpet every morning for our community circle time, where we greet one another, share our thoughts, and build strong social-emotional skills.

It created an instant sense of belonging—something that was difficult to achieve before when we didn't have a designated gathering area.\r\n\r\nWe also use the carpet daily for our read-alouds and small-group work. The students love gathering closely together to listen to stories, and the carpet provides the perfect space for focused group activities and collaborative learning. Your contribution has truly transformed the atmosphere of our classroom by giving students a comfortable, inviting place to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using the carpet for community building, literacy activities, and small-group instruction.
