When the new resources arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement. They eagerly unpacked the boxes and couldn't wait to start using them. Their joy and curiosity made it clear that these materials would be something truly special in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the resources at recess and reward time, and they have quickly become a favorite part of the day. The students have loved playing games together, practicing how to be team players, and including everyone in the fun. It has been wonderful to see them laughing, encouraging one another, and building stronger friendships through play.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these resources will continue to give my students opportunities to grow in teamwork, cooperation, and sportsmanship while also having fun.

It's made a far bigger impact than you might imagine — both in how we learn and how we feel in our space every day.\r\nSince introducing the new lighting, we've been able to create a calm, inviting atmosphere that helps students feel comfortable, focused, and more at home. The ability to lower the lights during reading time has quickly become a favorite part of our routine. Students often say how cozy and peaceful it feels, like they're reading in their own little nook or a library corner. It's been incredible to see how something as simple as lighting can transform a learning experience.\r\nOne of the most popular additions to our room is the jellyfish lamp. The moment we turn it on, a hush of awe tends to fall over the group. The soft, floating lights captivate students — it's like having a piece of the ocean in our classroom! It's sparked more than a few conversations about marine life and even inspired some creative writing.\r\nAnd of course, we can't forget Doug the Slug — our beloved lamp and unofficial classroom mascot. Doug has become a key part of our daily routine. When he's glowing, students know it's time for small group learning. It's amazing how such a simple signal creates structure and excitement. They genuinely love Doug — he even gets the occasional sticky note message or doodle left beside him!\r\nThank you for making this all possible. The lighting you've helped provide isn't just about visibility — it's about atmosphere, comfort, and joy. You've helped create a space where students feel safe, inspired, and eager to learn. For that, we are deeply grateful.\r\nWith appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1747841364656,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-lighting/9236352/","projectTitle":"Flexible Lighting","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jetton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9991807"},{"teacherId":9368216,"projectId":9269528,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of materials, including Sharpies, watercolor paints, and battery-powered tea light candles, which played a vital role in our recent Japanese-style painted lantern project. Thanks to your support, my students were able to explore their creativity while learning about traditional Japanese culture through the hands-on experience of crafting functional lanterns. The vibrant colors and delicate designs brought the lanterns to life, creating a beautiful and meaningful connection between art and heritage.\r\n\r\nYour contribution not only provided the essential tools for this project but also helped foster a sense of community and cultural appreciation among all involved. Each lantern, illuminated safely by the battery-powered tea lights, became a symbol of creativity and learning that my students could proudly take home.

The bookshelves have helped tremendously in the organization of our class setup. The stools will be instrumental once we actually begin small groups.\r\n My students just began 5th grade yesterday and many students noticed that my bookshelves were in great condition. I have 4 classes and we use the bookshelves to house their math binders. The binders are quite large and it is difficult for them to take them home. Instead, they are allowed to keep them at school, but storing them has always been tricky. With your donation, it has allowed all of my students to have a place where they know their binder will be kept safe.\r\n Thank you again!","fullyFundedDate":1743942423177,"projectUrl":"project/home-away-from-home/9234357/","projectTitle":"Home Away From Home","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pape","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9991309"},{"teacherId":9368216,"projectId":9235034,"letterContent":"On behalf of my classroom and our entire school community at Wilkerson Intermediate, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of prizes, art supplies, cleaning supplies, and organizational materials.
