Thank you so much for your generous donation of markers, wipes, and air fresheners. Your thoughtful contribution helps create a cleaner, more organized, and welcoming environment for my students. Having these supplies readily available makes a meaningful difference in our daily routines and allows us to focus more on what truly matters and makes the learning more engaging.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your kindness and support.

The whiteboards and markers became an instant favorite. During a recent lesson on multiplying fractions, we used the hands-on kits and base-ten blocks, and it really clicked for a lot of them. I saw students who usually hold back start participating more because they could actually see what was happening, not just hear it.\r\n\r\nThe puzzles, fidgets, and small rewards have also helped more than I expected. They've made it easier for students to stay focused, especially during longer lessons. The stickers and treasure box have been great for keeping them motivated, and it's helped create a positive vibe in the classroom where effort matters. Even having enough pencils and supplies for everyone has made our day run smoother.\r\n\r\nNext, we're building on this by having students explain their thinking more and work through multi-step problems together. For example, they'll use the whiteboards and manipulatives to solve problems and then walk the class through how they got their answer. The goal is to keep building their confidence so they're not just solving problems, but actually understanding them.","fullyFundedDate":1774373069720,"projectUrl":"project/math-in-motion-hands-on-tools-to-power/9938025/","projectTitle":"Math in Motion: Hands-On Tools to Power Up Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Romero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9772776_orig.jpg?crop=268,268,x5,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764695023326","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/romeropds"},{"teacherId":8547455,"projectId":9291127,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in helping us receive a new carpet for our calming corner.

Throughout the passing of the year 2025, I, personally, went through a very difficult time. Even so, I never gave up on my students learning. \r\nMy students engaged on daily reading. We had before school meetings to read at their level in a slow pace. Once they mastered a level we celebrated with fruit salas, hot cocoa, and sometimes pares sent breakfast burritos. It was our way to have everyone involved. \r\nMost students enjoyed their free reading time during learning labs. They loved the vivid colors of the pictures, the vocabulary support at the end, and the fact that they could work with each other. I provided guidance and support as they advanced in their comprehension and acquired new vocabulary. \r\nTheir journey is not finished, but they continue moving forward to become better and smarter readers.","fullyFundedDate":1731464451941,"projectUrl":"project/making-it-happen/8936422/","projectTitle":"Making It Happen","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munoz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5858099_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662840106354","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5858099"},{"teacherId":8646656,"projectId":9406892,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution for my project \"materials for next year\".

They added such a fun and positive energy to our classroom and made a bigger difference than I could have imagined. It wasn't just about having a little treat — the snacks truly helped reinforce learning and increased my students' motivation in math. As soon as they knew there would be snacks involved, I could see a new level of excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes. They worked harder, stayed focused longer, and encouraged one another to do their best. The snacks created a sense of reward, accomplishment, and joy that made learning math feel like a celebration rather than a challenge.\r\n\r\nDuring our lesson, my students were more determined than ever to solve problems correctly. They pushed themselves to think carefully and to check their work because they wanted to earn that extra little recognition that came with the snacks. I noticed that many of my students, who usually hesitate or second-guess themselves, became more confident in trying new strategies and solving more difficult problems. It was amazing to see them light up when they realized that they could do it — that math isn't scary or boring, but something they can actually enjoy and succeed in.\r\n\r\nWhat stood out most was how the snacks transformed the atmosphere in the classroom. The energy level was high all period long. Instead of the usual quiet hum, there was a buzz of excitement and cheerful teamwork. My students were talking about math, sharing ideas, and cheering for each other when someone got an answer right. Even those who usually feel shy or less confident participated with smiles and laughter. I could tell they were proud of themselves and proud of their classmates too. The sense of community, encouragement, and positivity in the room was something truly special.\r\n\r\nThe best part was watching them realize their own potential. They discovered that with focus, effort, and a little bit of motivation, they could perform better than they thought they could. Some students told me later that they felt smarter and more capable than before, just because they tried harder and saw real results. That's exactly the kind of lasting impact I hoped for — helping my students see that success in math is within their reach.\r\n\r\nTo all my generous donors — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support made a real difference. You didn't just provide snacks; you helped create an experience that motivated my students, boosted their confidence, and showed them that learning can be both fun and meaningful. Because of your kindness, my students were excited, engaged, and truly happy while learning math. You have made a huge and lasting impact in my classroom, and we are all deeply grateful. Your generosity helped us turn an ordinary day into something extraordinary — a day filled with learning, laughter, and joy. Thank you for believing in the power of education and in the potential of every student.","fullyFundedDate":1758293776849,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-positive-reinforcements-got/9647660/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Positive Reinforcements!

Since Chromebooks are a big part of engagement and learning and can get pretty loud and distracting for students to hear so having headphones REALLY helps. \r\n\r\nThe little prizes work amazing as reminders to others who get their work done as a celebration. They love collecting them or showing them off to their friends and family members. \r\n\r\nThe scissors were very helpful as well since not only is it good for work related tasks, but also for use on opening breakfast items and other things.\r\n\r\nAs you know, I always appreciate what you (and dad) do to help support me and my everlasting journey in the teaching world.
