They are deeply engaged in the process—watering their plants every morning and afternoon, monitoring growth, taking photos, and observing the development of flowers and fruit. This hands-on experience has not only taught them about plant biology and responsibility, but also sparked their curiosity and excitement for science in ways that are meaningful and lasting.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping our students cultivate a love of learning, connect with nature, and develop skills that will benefit them for years to come.

It's helping them connect with books in ways that feel exciting and accessible. Some are building confidence in decoding words, others are diving deeper into comprehension, and many are just enjoying reading more, which, as any teacher knows, is half the battle.\r\n\r\nWhat really excites the students is how interactive and personalized it is. They love that it reads along with them, highlights tricky words, and even offers little nudges or questions that get them thinking. It's like having a reading buddy right there with them — and for some, that's all it takes to make reading feel less intimidating and more fun.\r\n\r\nThere are a few students who've especially taken to it, kids who used to shy away from reading are now asking if they can keep going when time is up. One student who used to avoid books entirely is now proudly finishing stories and talking about them with classmates. It's been amazing to watch that kind of shift.\r\n\r\nThank you again.

Your generosity has made a lasting impact, not only on my students' learning but also on the overall environment of our classroom. I am deeply grateful that you chose to invest in this project, as it has given my students meaningful opportunities to grow in empathy, kindness, and respect—skills that will stay with them well beyond school.\r\n\r\nThe Cultivating Compassion project has truly transformed my classroom. Through the materials and activities provided, our learning space has become one where kindness, respect, and empathy are not only encouraged but actively practiced every day. Students are now more engaged in conversations about understanding others' feelings and perspectives. The resources have allowed us to role-play real-life situations, read meaningful stories, and take part in collaborative activities that strengthen their social-emotional skills. As a result, I've noticed my students becoming more supportive of one another, using encouraging words, and showing greater patience during group work.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has been an especially powerful tool in making compassion lessons interactive and engaging. Students use it to explore empathy-building apps, watch short stories that spark meaningful discussions, and even record reflections about how they can show kindness. This hands-on, digital approach makes the lessons more personal and exciting, particularly for students who learn best through visuals and interactive activities. Technology has helped bring abstract ideas—like empathy and respect—into a format that feels real and relatable.\r\n\r\nThe printer has also played a big role in extending these lessons. With it, we have been able to print kindness posters, reflection worksheets, and encouragement letters that students proudly display or share with classmates. Having their words and ideas printed out gives students a sense of pride and ownership. They see that their voices matter, and that their acts of kindness are worth celebrating. This tangible element has reinforced the importance of their efforts and has encouraged them to continue spreading compassion in and out of the classroom.\r\n\r\nTogether, the iPad and printer have helped turn compassion into something both interactive and visible. These tools have not only improved engagement but also created opportunities for students to express themselves in positive, meaningful ways. The overall classroom climate has improved as a result. Conflicts are now being resolved more respectfully, and students are more mindful of how their actions affect others. I have seen them pause, think, and choose kindness in situations where frustration might have taken over before.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are not just learning about compassion—they are practicing it daily. They are building stronger relationships, creating a supportive classroom community, and developing lifelong social-emotional skills. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in this project and making such a powerful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756631157757,"projectUrl":"project/cultivating-compassion-teaching-empathy/9623024/","projectTitle":"Cultivating Compassion: Teaching Empathy and Kindness in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kristine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9715009_orig.jpg?crop=1341,1341,x0,y75&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758834486769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9715009"},{"teacherId":9333721,"projectId":9270810,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting \"One Computer, Big Impact.\" Your generosity has brought new energy and excitement into our classroom.
