Your generosity is providing us with everyday essentials that are making a meaningful difference in our students' learning, comfort, and creativity.\r\n\r\nThe glue sticks and Sharpie pens are helping our young artists bring their ideas to life. The test partitions are creating a focused environment where students can work independently and confidently. Our new carpet sweeper is helping us keep our classroom clean and welcoming, while the puffy stickers are providing cheerful encouragement and celebrating students' hard work.\r\n\r\nThe computer headphones are allowing students to concentrate during digital lessons and learning activities, and the stapler is helping us organize and display their assignments and projects. Each item may seem simple, but together they are helping our classroom run more smoothly and giving students the tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour support reminds our students that people beyond our classroom believe in them and care about their education. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and for helping us create a space where students are learning, creating, and thriving.","fullyFundedDate":1785329504757,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-basic-supplies/10254038/","projectTitle":"Back to School: Basic Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kunzler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp581261_orig.jpg?crop=477,477,x132,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599453840187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-backer"},{"teacherId":8433533,"projectId":9631949,"letterContent":"This project has helped my students discover that reading can be exciting, immersive, and something they genuinely look forward to. When I read Eerie Elementary*aloud to my class, we turned off the classroom lights, added spooky mood lighting, played background music, and I used different voices for the characters. My students became completely invested in the story. They would beg to read \"just one more chapter\" and talk about the characters and mysteries with their classmates throughout the day. They told me that our Eerie Elementary read-aloud was one of their favorite things we did all year.\r\n\r\nBeyond the excitement, these books provided meaningful opportunities to teach important reading skills. We practiced making predictions, identifying key details, determining the main idea, making inferences, describing characters, using context clues, summarizing, and supporting our thinking with evidence from the text. Because my students were so invested in the story, these skills felt less like isolated lessons and more like tools they needed to solve the mysteries alongside the characters.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom is about building a community of readers. We read independently, with partners, in small groups, and together as a class. I want my students to experience books that make them laugh, wonder, feel suspense, and become so absorbed in a story that they forget they are \"doing school.\" Eerie Elementary*did exactly that.\r\n\r\nThese books were especially meaningful for students who did not always see themselves as readers. The fast-paced plots, humor, suspense, and illustrations gave reluctant readers an accessible entry point into chapter books. Students who previously struggled to stay engaged during reading were eager to pick up the next book and find out what happened. Seeing those students become excited about reading was one of the most rewarding parts of this project.\r\n\r\nThis project showed my students that reading isn't just something we do because it is required, it can be an adventure. With a class set of Eerie Elementary, I can continue creating those memorable reading experiences and help even more students discover themselves as readers.","fullyFundedDate":1763474853023,"projectUrl":"project/chills-thrills-and-reading-skills/9631949/","projectTitle":"Chills Thrills and Reading Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Helland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8433533"},{"teacherId":10308916,"projectId":9939424,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our TK classroom with these wonderful STEM toys! Your generosity has provided our students with engaging, hands-on opportunities to explore, create, and learn through play.\r\n\r\nThe students especially enjoyed connecting the blocks to build long trains and challenging one another to see who could make the longest. As they played, they naturally incorporated important math skills by counting the pieces in each train and comparing lengths both by sight and by counting. These activities encouraged problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking, and early measurement concepts in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are developing foundational math skills while building confidence and excitement for learning.

All of the students had seen dominoes before, but now they had two complete sets. The biggest surprise though were the twenty-first century blocks.

My students love watching our plants grow in our terrarium which has condensation on the glass. At first, we did not cover up the gaps in the glass and no condensation formed. Two of the fern plants died. We quickly got the idea to cover up the gaps that let air in with plastic wrap. Now, our plants are thriving! \r\n In March, we read Dr. Seuss books to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday in conjunction with Read Across America. Students read a few books that day and took at least one AR reading quiz on their computer. The next day, I rewarded students with Dr. Seuss stickers from our funded project. My students love to collect stickers in their sticker books. During Open House students will show their parents all the stickers they earned this year (Many students count their stickers which reinforces number fluency skills).\r\n The hot air balloons, cupcakes, and doughnut hanging lanterns brightened our ceiling this year! Students love coming into a colorful inviting room and enjoy the beginning of each month as I change our beautiful ceiling decorations! \r\n The laminating pouches have been used throughout this year to laminate student artwork, vocabulary words, classroom posters, and the front and back covers for their memory books. In a few weeks, Open House will arrive and I know my students will be excited to show parents their memory books, art/writing projects, and work on our walls.

My students loved putting the number puzzles together. Sometimes when it rains, my students have to stay indoors for recess. On rainy days my students enjoyed putting the number puzzles from 1-30 together. They made a beautiful fish puzzle and were proud of their accomplishments. I like when students work together when completing puzzles. This helps students learn about teamwork which they will need when they enter the workforce.\r\n Everyday students enjoy watching our plants grow. We watched ferns and a snake plant. Students used a spray bottle to create moisture inside the terrarium. Our plants are thriving and the moss branch decoration adds character to our terrarium. Our terrarium light is helping our plants get the proper amount of light in our classroom that has no windows.\r\n Open House is around the corner and students will get the chance to grow peas, flowers and beans as part of our plant unit. Our propagation station has 4 glass bulbs full of water and cuttings from plants growing roots. I choose cuttings from a pothos plant, dwarf water lettuce, and peace lilly to show how water makes the roots grow on plants. It was incredible to watch this process! \r\n Thank you for our carpet sweeper. Each day students are happy to run the sweeper over our carpets. This sweeper picks up bits of construction paper, pencil shavings, broken crayons and any dirt on the carpet. Our sweeper gets a daily workout in our room!\r\n Thank you Campbell Foundation for funding our entire project! My students love watching their bean seeds sprout and grow. These resources definitely got my young students interested in science. They had fun planting their seeds and they plan to take them home to plant in their backyard gardens.
