The \"All About Me\" posters became a favorite activity, giving every student the chance to proudly share their story while helping us build a stronger classroom community. The colored masking tape and Zeüs magnetic tape dispensers are now part of our daily routines, keeping our materials and learning spaces organized in ways that make sense for all learners.\r\n\r\nThe whistles have been a simple but powerful tool for safety during recess and drills, while the bug zapper rackets quickly solved the distraction of pesky insects so students could stay focused. Students even take pride in using the carpet sweepers to keep our room tidy, showing responsibility and care for their shared space. And when we moved supplies for an outdoor activity, the collapsible wagon became an instant favorite—students loved helping load it up and seeing how it made moving everything so much easier.\r\n\r\nWith your generosity, we've built a classroom that feels more organized, welcoming, and student-centered. These tools aren't just items—they've become part of how we learn, create, and grow together. Our next step is to continue using them in larger projects, like rotating centers, outdoor STEM activities, and community-building lessons that keep my students excited to learn every day.","fullyFundedDate":1747070895875,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-boost/9346413/","projectTitle":"Classroom Boost","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7242583_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1591661000725","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrmartinez20"},{"teacherId":7242583,"projectId":9118438,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have the essential supplies they need—glue sticks, markers, crayons, colored pencils, #2 pencils, earbuds, composition books, and graphing paper—to thrive in their learning. These tools have already made a difference. For example, students used their new composition books to begin journaling projects, while graphing paper has been a huge help in practicing math concepts. Earbuds have allowed them to focus on independent lessons without distraction, giving them more confidence in their work.\r\n\r\nThe reaction when they first saw the materials was priceless! Students were excited to organize their supplies, share crayons and markers for group projects, and dive into math practice with fresh resources. Having their own set of tools gave them a sense of pride and ownership, which immediately showed in the way they approached their work.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these supplies will continue to support both creativity and academic growth. My students are preparing to use them in upcoming science projects and math problem-solving activities, building both skills and confidence.

Students are already using the new resources—colored pens, Sharpie markers, folders, and pencil pouches—to stay organized and bring creativity into their work. The multiplication flash cards have been a huge hit, and we've been using them in fun group games that build confidence and fluency in math.\r\n\r\nThe excitement when students first saw the supplies was unforgettable—their faces lit up as they dug into the bins of fresh materials. Many couldn't wait to organize their own space with the caddies and folders, while others jumped right into using the colorful cardstock and masking tape for class projects. These simple tools gave them a sense of ownership and pride in their learning.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using the supplies to launch collaborative projects where students design their own learning stations and create interactive displays to share their knowledge. Because of you, they feel equipped, motivated, and ready to take on the challenges of a new year.

The impact on our students has been incredible. When they first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate—students gasped, cheered, and couldn't wait to get started. The Legos brought a sense of wonder and energy that transformed our classroom into a space full of curiosity and creativity.\r\n\r\nWe used the Legos as part of a STEM project focused on architecture and engineering. Students researched famous buildings, bridges, and works of art, then used the Lego kits to design and build their own versions. One group recreated the Golden Gate Bridge, carefully thinking through support structures and balance, while another group designed an original museum inspired by their favorite artists. These hands-on activities deepened their understanding of structural design and opened their eyes to careers in engineering, architecture, and art.\r\n\r\nNext, our class will explore how to incorporate basic coding and robotics using Lego-compatible technology. Your donation didn't just support one project—it sparked an ongoing journey of exploration and learning.
