Every donation, large or small, helped this project. \r\n\r\nEvery time a new package came, my students said that it felt like Christmas, especially being around the holidays. When a student saw the 100-pack of colored pencils, he said, \"I didn't even know they made this many colors!\" Believe it or not, this has been the biggest hit for the students. They loved creating works of art with these new colors. We were able to turn learning multiplication and division facts into creating snowy scenes and snow globe creations. Not one student complained about the math because of the fun that was to follow. \r\n\r\nFor me, having the dividers and wipes was the best gift. As you know, this season has brought some pretty significant cases of cold and flu. Knowing that I was able to sanitize materials at the end of each day brought peace of mind. I share a room with another teacher, and it is often hard to block out the distractions. Students were inquisitive when they saw a 6-foot-tall structure being built. This now acts as a barrier between the two sections and blocks out visual distractions, helping all students focus better. I am also able to use it as a writing area to hang needed anchor charts.\r\nThank you again for your continued support!","fullyFundedDate":1764731320893,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-start/9561314/","projectTitle":"Fresh Start","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5325071"},{"teacherId":5325071,"projectId":9212678,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.

Classroom supplies always run out so quickly, and these have given us a little cushion room to know that my students will have the needed markers, crayons, and pencil sharpeners needed to make each day a success. \r\nThank you again for making the decision to donate to my project.
