My students and I use it daily to organize and transport materials for different lessons and projects. Instead of juggling bins and carrying supplies across the room, the cart allows us to move everything we need in one trip. For example, during our recent small-group reading rotations, the cart held all of our notebooks and word work materials, which made transitions smoother and helped us spend more time focused on learning. One specific moment that stood out was during our math centers, when students were able to grab manipulatives from the cart independently and return them neatly after use—something that gave them ownership of their learning space.\r\n\r\nWhen the cart first arrived, the students were so excited! They were shocked when I rolled it into the room! Many of them commented on how \"much nicer\" it made our classroom feel, and a few even compared it to a \"teacher toolbox on wheels.\" That joy has carried into their daily routines, because they know exactly where to find what they need. The next steps for us involve using the cart as we prepare for upcoming group projects, especially as we dive into more hands-on STEM activities later this month. The organization and accessibility it provides will continue to support their independence, collaboration, and enthusiasm for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1748457871586,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-organization-and-success/9335573/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into Organization and Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Elsaadawi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9567955_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y335&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718211562195","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/salma-elsaadawi"},{"teacherId":9603370,"projectId":9189805,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my project.

One specific moment that stood out was when a group of students who often struggle with confidence proudly demonstrated their working circuit to the entire class—the pride on their faces was unforgettable.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the kits, they were in awe. Many of them had never had the chance to work with hands-on engineering tools before.
