Your kindness and support truly mean more than you know.\r\n\r\nAs a Title I school, many of our students come to school without the supplies they need due to financial challenges at home. Your donation has made it possible for our students to have access to the tools and materials they need to learn, participate, and feel successful each day.\r\n\r\nThe manipulatives are especially meaningful for our students. They provide hands-on opportunities for learning while also helping students stay regulated, build social-emotional skills, and engage in meaningful pretend play with their peers. These experiences support communication, cooperation, creativity, and positive relationships in our classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students can focus on learning and growing without worrying about whether they have the supplies they need. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us create a classroom where every child has the opportunity to thrive.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1788181246350,"projectUrl":"project/growing-through-art-play/10445215/","projectTitle":"Growing Through Art & Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zack","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9656799"},{"teacherId":8342769,"projectId":10296774,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation and funding this project for my students.

Students have been able to use them individually and as small groups. It has been so fun to watch the learning and them explore. \r\n\r\nOther materials like folders have helped them keep organized in their desks and will help give them skills to build upon later to know how to keep track of materials.

Your gift will make a meaningful difference in the way my students experience reading.\r\n\r\nThese books give us a wonderful variety of stories and reading levels to choose from during our small-group reading time. Because the books range in difficulty, I can select texts that are appropriately challenging for each group of students, helping them build confidence while continuing to grow as readers.\r\n\r\nHaving engaging chapter books available allows my students to practice important skills such as reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, making inferences, and discussing what they read with their classmates. More importantly, these books give students the opportunity to discover stories that match their interests and abilities—and to see themselves as capable, excited readers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create more opportunities for meaningful reading experiences in our grade. Instead of simply practicing reading skills, my students can now gather in small groups, share ideas, get lost in a good story, and experience the joy of reading together.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us build a classroom where every reader has a book that is just right for them.

These devices allow us to provide interactive, individualized support in a way that feels engaging and accessible for our learners. Through guided apps and activities, students are practicing skills like identifying emotions, using calming strategies, and navigating peer interactions. The tablets also help make learning more visual and hands-on, which is especially important for students who benefit from concrete supports as they build their social-emotional skills.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is how eager and motivated students are to use the tablets. They see them as a special opportunity, and that excitement naturally increases their participation and focus. The ability to provide immediate feedback and offer choices within activities helps students feel successful and more in control of their learning. The tablets have quickly become a positive part of our daily routine and are often used as both a learning tool and a meaningful reinforcement.\r\n\r\nWe've seen several students especially thrive with this new technology—particularly those who have had difficulty staying engaged or expressing their feelings in the past. With the support of the tablets, they are more willing to participate, try new strategies, and communicate their needs. It has been incredible to watch their confidence grow as they experience success. These tablets have helped us create a more supportive, responsive classroom environment, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to better meet the needs of every student.","fullyFundedDate":1767214666998,"projectUrl":"project/technology-tools-for-social-emotional-gr/9680849/","projectTitle":"Technology Tools for Social-Emotional Growth and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zack","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9656799"},{"teacherId":3066170,"projectId":9661949,"letterContent":"When our new reading, STEM, and logic games arrived, my students' excitement filled the room. They gathered around eagerly as we unpacked each game and puzzle, immediately asking, \"Can we play this today?\" The classroom rug quickly became our new favorite spot—our cozy, clearly defined space for small groups and morning meetings. It helps students focus, regulate their energy, and feel safe enough to take academic risks, whether they're reading aloud or tackling a new challenge.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the reading games to build fluency and confidence by turning phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension practice into fun, fast-paced rounds where everyone participates. Our STEM and logic games have encouraged problem-solving and perseverance—key skills that my students are beginning to show not only during math and science lessons but across all subjects. The puzzles and pattern blocks have strengthened spatial reasoning and teamwork, with students eagerly taking turns and cheering each other on as they complete new designs.\r\n\r\nThese resources have truly transformed our classroom into a \"learn-by-playing\" lab. Every child now has more opportunities to practice core skills, meet IEP goals, and experience success—often and joyfully. Seeing their pride when they master a new word or complete a tricky puzzle reminds me just how powerful your generosity is. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students read, reason, and rise.","fullyFundedDate":1762184124884,"projectUrl":"project/game-on-brains-on-stem-reading-rug-l/9661949/","projectTitle":"Game On, Brains On: Stem & Reading Rug Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3066170_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472922496827","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3066170"},{"teacherId":8342769,"projectId":9323429,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project for my class and my amazing students.
