The reading chair has quickly become a favorite spot for the students—a cozy place where they can settle in with a book and feel excited about reading. It adds warmth to our room and makes reading time feel special, whether it's for a read-aloud as a group or for students enjoying books on their own. The chair has given us a way to make reading not just a part of our day, but a joyful experience that the children look forward to.\r\n\r\nThe classroom storage has been just as impactful. Having a place to neatly organize books, supplies, and materials helps our classroom run more smoothly and gives students easy access to the things they need. It not only saves time and reduces clutter but also helps students take responsibility for keeping our space cared for. Together, these donations have made our classroom feel more welcoming, organized, and inspiring, and we are so grateful for the difference they make in our daily learning.","fullyFundedDate":1742773641665,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-reading-chair-supply-storage/8967694/","projectTitle":"Cozy Reading Chair & Supply Storage!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6288167_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1551281546855","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mwalton"},{"teacherId":9321894,"projectId":9102751,"letterContent":"I am soooo thrilled to give my class just a little appreciation gift today. I got to see their faces light up, with excitement to see all the things in the bags. Some of my students love to learn so they were most excited to see the board, marker and practice work. Some of mine were just thrilled to receive some of the hygiene projects, and let me know they've never had deodorant before. They were so incredibly grateful, as am I. \r\nMy students this year went through a lot of changes throughout this school year, with lots of subs, splitting classes, and a long term substitute to cover my room for a while, waiting for me to come back. \r\nWith your help I was able to give them a little gift to say thank you for sticking with me, and continuing to always try their best no matter what, and their assessments at the end of the year proved that's exactly what they did. I can't thank you all enough for donating to my students this year, and helping me celebrate them.","fullyFundedDate":1746648294726,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-the-year-gifts/9102751/","projectTitle":"End of the Year Gifts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trost","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9321894_orig.jpg?crop=775,775,x344,y136&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727447237937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9321894"},{"teacherId":9023273,"projectId":8802160,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of the children, teachers, and families at Wilson Elementary, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous contribution in funding a kindergarten classroom filled with new materials and supplies. Your support has made a significant impact on our young learners and has created a more engaging, playful, and educational environment for them.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, our students now have access to a variety of exciting, interactive learning tools. The Bean Bag Chair Covers have brought an added level of comfort to our classroom. These chairs have created a fun, cozy, and safe space for children to relax, read, or collaborate. The children adore the soft and playful designs, which have added an extra layer of joy to their daily experiences.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the Spot It! Super Pack and Spot It! 123 games have become an integral part of our class. These fast-paced, fun games help develop critical thinking and early math skills while fostering collaboration and friendly competition among the children. Their eyes light up every time we break out the Spot It! games, and it's been incredible to witness their focus and problem-solving abilities improve with each round.\r\n\r\nThe 150 Pieces 6-Sided Games Dice Set has sparked endless creative learning opportunities. Whether used in math exercises, board games, or for inventing their own games, the colorful dice encourage imaginative play and provide a hands-on approach to learning that the students are enjoying immensely.\r\n\r\nLastly, the Hasbro Gaming Don't Spill the Beans Game has become a favorite activity. This simple yet engaging game teaches children to strategize, take turns, and be mindful of their actions. It's a perfect balance of fun and education, and we've seen so many moments of teamwork and patience as they play together.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful investment in these materials has not only enhanced the classroom environment but has also contributed to the academic and emotional development of our students. They are excited to come to school every day, and it's thanks to you that we're able to offer them such meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity. We are truly grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing to share the growth and successes of our students with you.","fullyFundedDate":1736798779996,"projectUrl":"project/social-skills-with-games/8802160/","projectTitle":"Social Skills with Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9023273_orig.jpg?crop=2056,2056,x10,y292&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683138979751","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9023273"},{"teacherId":9321894,"projectId":8802447,"letterContent":"This has been the greatest gift for our students.

I did a little show and tell in the classroom to show them all of the amazing things that were donated to our class, and they were on the edge of their seats waiting to see the next item the whole time. (The equipment and snacks were definitely the greatest hits). \r\nI've got to give a few students that have came in hungry a little snack to help them get through the day on a more positive note. They have really been using the markers, during spelling time, having new markers actually made a particular student more excited to actually try and write, and just in these few weeks I'm seeing the most progress than I have seen all year. I can't thank you enough for donating to my classroom, I can't wait to continue even using some of these materials for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1737074794219,"projectUrl":"project/lets-see-collaboration-data-and-indep/8802447/","projectTitle":"Let's See Collaboration, Data, and Independence in First","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trost","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9321894_orig.jpg?crop=775,775,x344,y136&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727447237937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9321894"},{"teacherId":8748710,"projectId":8784952,"letterContent":"These pens are a great addition to our classrooms!
