The materials arrived right before the Holidays! Twinkling, happily surprised eyes along with festive lights made the ambience full of curiosity and deliight. \"Who is getting a prize,\" they kept asking. Since, we were affirming effort and motivating learners, every student got a their own Stem Kit. We ended second quarter all energized and went out to Winter Break with a challenge. \r\nYour generous contribution made it possible for each of my students to make tangible connections to our reading about inventors and power sources. We were on break but the learning continued as students were sharing photos, making comments, and/or asking questions about their projects.\r\nThis project became much more than reading or science lessons. The investigation included the parents and siblings as well. When we came back in January the students were sharing their struggles, successes and formulated many more questions.\r\nYour generosity allowed me to affirm and motivate learners. These stem kits will also be used at the end of year presentations to younger students, which will help me get my next class curious about fifth grade.","fullyFundedDate":1763578432898,"projectUrl":"project/power-up/9699412/","projectTitle":"Power Up!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2782786_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1538376342400","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2782786"},{"teacherId":9472195,"projectId":9626745,"letterContent":"Thanks to the funding for classroom snacks, my students are able to stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day. We use the snacks during long instructional blocks and small-group work, especially during reading and math, when attention and stamina really matter. One standout moment was during a collaborative problem-solving activity—students who usually struggle to concentrate were noticeably more engaged, participating more confidently and working through challenges without frustration.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, their reactions were pure excitement and gratitude. It created an immediate sense of comfort and care in the classroom, helping build a positive learning environment. Moving forward, these snacks will continue to support our current lessons by ensuring students have the fuel they need to fully participate in hands-on projects, group discussions, and independent practice. Because of our donors, students can focus less on being hungry and more on learning, growing, and succeeding together.","fullyFundedDate":1762801059757,"projectUrl":"project/class-snacks/9626745/","projectTitle":"Class Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mason","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9472195_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708227649638","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/haileymason"},{"teacherId":9472195,"projectId":9405915,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support of our flexible seating project. Because of your donation, my students now have a learning environment that truly meets their needs, one where movement, comfort, and choice are part of every day. The new seating options have transformed our classroom into a space that feels welcoming, engaging, and empowering for all learners.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the flexible seating, I've already seen remarkable changes in my students. They are more focused, more eager to participate, and more confident when choosing where they learn best. Students who once struggled to sit still are thriving with wobble stools and floor cushions, while others show newfound independence as they select spaces that help them stay calm and productive. This shift has not only improved academic engagement but has also strengthened our classroom community by fostering collaboration and respect for each other's learning styles.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on my students and has given them a classroom where they feel supported, valued, and excited to learn. Thank you for believing in our school, our classroom, and the power of providing students with a space designed for success.

The very first day we rolled it in, my students gasped and immediately started whispering about all the ways they could use it. \r\n\r\nWhen the white board first arrived, my students were thrilled. Several of them took turns touching the smooth surface and testing out the markers, and a few even said, \"This is like a teacher board, but for us!\" Their excitement made the classroom feel extra energized that day.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using the whiteboard for collaborative lessons. In math, they'll use it to show multiple ways to solve word problems, and during writing, groups will plan stories together using the board as their brainstorming space. This whiteboard has already supported more movement, teamwork, and hands-on learning—and we are so grateful for the support that made it possible.","fullyFundedDate":1760446592747,"projectUrl":"project/writing-time/9455829/","projectTitle":"Writing Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8359214_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x510,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723528688735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8359214"},{"teacherId":8363608,"projectId":9427968,"letterContent":"My students and I are very thankful for your generous contributions to our class!
