My students enjoy all of the things in our calming corner. They continue to use it as a resource daily and practice self regulating. This has made a wonderful experience for my students who may not know how to regulate.\r\n\r\nThe fidgets have given those who need it more time to work and still fidget. The tent has given a private area for regulating emotions. The squishies have given them something soft and sweet to use when emotions are high.

The supplies you funded are being put to use in my classroom on a daily basis. Everyday items like pencils and paper towels are a daily need and make the classroom work more smoothly. The Pocket Constitutions are out on desks and are a fingers length away when students need to review an amendment or review a fact. The fact that they are for the student s to keep is an unexpected bonus for the students. But the best part is the new hot pink pencil sharpener. The kids love the color and the quality! Normally they fight with a sharpener to get a point but now it's they just push in their pencil and it's sharp in seconds. It's truly surprising what pleases them.\r\n\r\nThank you all one more time!","fullyFundedDate":1786352255369,"projectUrl":"project/starting-off-the-year-in-a-civics-classr/10459290/","projectTitle":"Starting off the Year in a Civics Classroom.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bodin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-bodin"},{"teacherId":9605386,"projectId":10025078,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our classroom project and helping provide these valuable new resources for our students. When the materials arrived, the excitement in the room was immediate. Students eagerly explored the resources and were excited to use them during lessons and collaborative activities. One memorable moment occurred during a classroom project where students worked together to research, create, and share their ideas using the new materials. The resources encouraged participation, creativity, and teamwork, and even some of my quieter students became more engaged and confident in sharing their thoughts. It has been wonderful to see students take greater ownership of their learning and approach activities with enthusiasm.\r\nWe continue to use these resources daily in both small-group and whole-class instruction, and they have become an important part of our learning environment. As we move forward, students will use the materials to build on current lessons, deepen their understanding of key concepts, and complete more challenging projects that promote critical thinking and problem-solving. Your generosity has provided opportunities for meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity and growth.

The snacks you provided have made a meaningful difference in my students' daily learning. Many of them become hungry before lunchtime, which can make it difficult to stay focused. Having these snacks available has helped them maintain their energy, stay engaged, and be ready to learn throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour donation was especially impactful during our state testing this month of April. Testing can be long and mentally tiring for students, but being able to have a snack helped them recharge and refocus on learning. \r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, my students were incredibly excited. Opening the \"mystery boxes\" together was a special moment filled with curiosity and joy. They were truly amazed that people they have never met would care enough to support them in this way. This led to meaningful conversations about kindness and generosity, reinforcing the values we talk about in our classroom every day.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these snacks will remain an important part of our routine, especially during longer lessons and activities that require sustained focus. Your support has not only helped meet a basic need, but it has also shown my students that they are cared for by a larger community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a positive impact on my students' learning and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1770222474650,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-daily-learning/9934888/","projectTitle":"Snacks For Daily Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Madrigal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3329341_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723404951579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmadrigalsclass"},{"teacherId":9605386,"projectId":9937798,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students and I are able to learn, create, and grow in ways that truly would not have been possible without you.

One of our favorite moments so far happened during a reading and writing project where students used the new supplies to plan, draft, and revise their own stories. \r\n\r\nHaving access to these tools allowed students to slow down, focus, and truly engage with the writing process. Students who often feel hesitant to participate were eager to share their work, and I watched confidence grow in real time.\r\n\r\nYour donation gave my students more than supplies—you gave them opportunity, confidence, and joy in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764726818322,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9937798/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. O'Malley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9605386"},{"teacherId":8372548,"projectId":9461601,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. My students always get excited when boxes arrive and we get new goodies to use in our classroom. These supplies have been a tremendous help with our math lessons and they truly have enjoyed using them all. \r\n\r\nWe have used everything from the graph paper to the colored pencils, to the colored paper and sentences strips and even the stickers almost every day since we've received these awesome gifts. For our math lessons lately they've been doing lots is multiplication and division practice so the graph paper has been a huge help in keeping their work organized. It has also helped with teaching them area and how to count the little squares. They've been having a blast with that unit! The colored pencils have also been a huge help in labeling their work, we use different colors for different topics depending on the lesson and they've enjoyed having these. We all also loved the math bingo, it was a huge hit!! It was such a fun day to learn and play with them and we used the stickers as prizes, which they also really enjoy. I appreciate being able to give them a little something for their hard-work. \r\n\r\nWith these supplies my students are definitely set up for success moving into quarter 3. We will continue to use the graph paper, colored paper, and colored pencils to organize our work. We also will begin using those sentence strips for fractions, which should be a lot of fun. \r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your support and my kiddos can't thank your enough.","fullyFundedDate":1757538872220,"projectUrl":"project/3rd-grade-math-stars/9461601/","projectTitle":"3rd Grade Math Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Madril","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8372548_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783489366330","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmadril"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58174","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":570,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.2,"schoolId":58174,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Westwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Westwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/alhambra-elementary-school-district-68/westwood-primary-school/58174"}
