These resources created lessons that were more interactive, more meaningful, and more accessible for all learners.\r\n\r\nPart of this project helped strengthen our multiplication practice, which has been a huge boost for students' confidence in math. The new activities offered fun, structured ways to build automaticity and deepen understanding. Even students who typically struggle with math have been eagerly participating and showing noticeable growth. In literacy, our new nonfiction text feature posters quickly became a favorite reference tool in the room. Students use them during reading groups and research activities to better understand informational text, and it has raised the level of discussion and independence in our classroom.\r\n\r\nAnother major impact has been the creation of student data folders for monitoring growth. These folders have empowered students to take ownership of their learning by tracking progress, setting goals, and celebrating improvements. One student in particular, who used to feel overwhelmed by assessments, now proudly checks his data folder to see how his hard work is paying off. This increased ownership has helped transform the way our class reflects on progress and stays motivated.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and providing the tools that make our classroom feel inspiring, organized, and full of possibility. Your generosity continues to make a daily difference.","fullyFundedDate":1756387025743,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-ideas-for-engaged-minds-4th-grad/9645616/","projectTitle":"Fresh Ideas for Engaged Minds: 4th Grade TPT Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soderberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8798721_orig.jpg?crop=1249,1249,x470,y792&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755987859674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8798721"},{"teacherId":8798721,"projectId":9647874,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students have been fully engaged in hands-on STEM learning with the new building resources from our project, Hands-On STEM for Growing Learners. The moment my students saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately began exploring, snapping pieces together, sharing ideas, and challenging themselves to build structures that were taller, stronger, and more creative.\r\n\r\nWe have already used the materials during our engineering challenges, where students planned, tested, and redesigned their creations to see what worked best. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students troubleshoot how to keep their tower from leaning. They worked together, experimented with solutions, and cheered when it finally stood on its own. These resources have given my students the confidence to try, fail, try again, and persist through challenges.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue to use these tools during STEM stations, collaborative group projects, and design challenges that support problem solving, teamwork, and creativity. Your support has given my students opportunities they would not have had otherwise, and it has made our classroom a place where ideas come alive.

The math manipulatives have made a huge difference in helping every student learn in the way that works best for them, building their confidence and success in math.\r\n\r\nThe vacuum has become a surprise classroom favorite! Students take pride in using it and have learned the importance of cleaning up after themselves and caring for their space.\r\n\r\nWhen the students learned that kindhearted people they've never met donated all of these materials, they were truly amazed and touched.

When I first introduced the project to them, they eagerly helped me decide which items would best enhance our classroom. However, we also had a thoughtful discussion because there was no guarantee our project would be funded.\r\n\r\nThe morning I received the notification that our project was approved, I couldn't wait to share the news with the students. When I told the class, their faces lit up with big smiles and cheers — it was definitely one of the highlights of their year.\r\n\r\nAs the materials started arriving, we unpacked them together and discussed where and how to use each item. The students decided that the bean bag chair would become our \"star learner\" seat, the LED sign would light up on quiz or test days, the pink rolling cart would be the new home for our class set of chapter books, and the anchor chart papers would serve as creative spaces where students could expand or bring their ideas to life. The rolling desk has made it easier for me to collect data in real time and stay more engaged during their independent work time.\r\n\r\nWe are excited about the positive impact these materials will have, not only for this year's class but for many classes to come.
