We were close to our last ream of paper. You have provided a life resource line to our classroom and it was used towards our interactive notebooks. These items have provided alot of hands on interaction and be able to show and display their work with their peers. We used a lot of our materials towards Math and Reading. \r\n My students were surprised and grateful for all the items that we were able to use, especially with the holidays coming up. \r\n My upcoming projects I am wanting to do is STEAM project challenges. These are great ways to connect to a students curiosity and spark ideas to become future engineers. \r\n Thank you again for your wonderful donation.

They noticed that there were brand new books and wanted to take them home or read, but the impatience of someone reading it and having to wait was not their favorite part. The students like the fact that there are books that they enjoy reading and that catch their interest. \r\n The students enjoyed the notebooks because many are using spiral notebooks and not compositions, and it helped many of our students who needed the following materials for each class subject. They are using the chisel, dry-erasers, and erasers. Each of them has a group caddy that they have these materials in, and they are curious about the new item and weren't sure if they could use it. I had to remind them that it belongs to them. These students don't have many items that they call theirs, and they misplace them here and there, but they know that we have more to cover them throughout the year. \r\n The students haven't been able to start the new essential standards, but I am trying to request more books in my library and be able to get an upgrade for the students. We want to continue to do hands-on projects for our class in all subject areas. I am also trying to start a robotics project for my group with upgraded equipment.","fullyFundedDate":1755096654215,"projectUrl":"project/4th-coming/9569049/","projectTitle":"4th Coming","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. P.

Many of them immediately wanted to touch, explore, and try them out. We began using the resources right away in our Life Skills lessons incorporating them into activities like sorting and matching, cooking simple recipes, and practicing daily routines. For example, during a recent cooking activity, students used the new kitchen tools to prepare a healthy snack together. One student, who is usually hesitant to join in, proudly measured and mixed ingredients with minimal prompting, smiling the entire time.\r\n\r\nThese resources have made our classroom more engaging and hands-on, helping students develop independence, communication, and fine motor skills in a fun, supportive way. The Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation's generosity has allowed us to turn everyday tasks into meaningful learning opportunities, and our students are gaining confidence as they practice skills they can use at home and in the community.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue building on these lessons by creating weekly themed projects like \"Healthy Breakfast Week\" and \"Clean & Tidy Day\" so students can apply these skills in different real-life contexts. Your support has made this possible, and we are deeply grateful for the lasting impact it will have on our students' learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746785937965,"projectUrl":"project/guiding-little-hands-manipulatives-for/9303482/","projectTitle":"\"Guiding Little Hands: Manipulatives for Lifelong Skills\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Montes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9438096_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y268&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707864867798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9438096"},{"teacherId":9438096,"projectId":9301154,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students and staff, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our Little Treasures: End-of-Year Gifts From the Heart project.

The students enjoyed seeing the caddy materials that were given. The students love using the earphones; they use them to help them concentrate when the classroom gets loud. They can plug in and maintain their focus. Each student had their own individual earphones to use daily, and if they passed their assessment, they were able to receive one of the awards that you have given. All the expo markers are used for their individual and group work activities, and the highlighters were great for our writing and reading subject areas. \r\n The students were curious to know if the earphones were something they could use, not only in the classroom but also in other enrichment classes. They are very honest about taking them to other classes if needed. They love the earphones and different highlighter options that are given. The students are taking responsibility within their groups. \r\n The next step that are class is taking is our next essential standards, we want to have STEAM/STEM-based projects. Each STEAM/STEM challenge will have requirements of its own. The students were able to create their own rollercoaster and zipline, and they were able to solve the given problem with their group members. We are trying to complete one challenge a week to help students with their creativity and hopefully see an engineer in the near future.","fullyFundedDate":1754495366765,"projectUrl":"project/ready-to-rumble-4th-grade/9377487/","projectTitle":"Ready to Rumble 4th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. P.

This printer has allowed us to create vibrant, high-quality visual supports, student artwork prints, and personalized communication aids that make learning more accessible for our non-verbal students. Now, students can see their artwork transformed into professional-quality prints, giving them a true sense of pride and accomplishment.\r\n\r\nOne of our students, was overjoyed when he saw his colorful painting printed for the first time. He held it up proudly, showing his classmates—a moment of pure joy that would not have been possible without this printer. Another student, who struggles with verbal communication, now has access to customized picture communication boards, allowing her to better express her needs and participate more actively in class.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is making an immediate and lasting impact in our classroom. Art is no longer just an activity—it has become a voice for our students, a bridge to connection, and a source of confidence.
