The supplies we received—including markers, clay, Magna-Tiles, clipboards, whiteboards, and other essential classroom materials—have had an immediate and lasting impact on my students' learning, confidence, and enthusiasm for school. Your donation did far more than provide materials; it gave my students new ways to express themselves, collaborate with peers, and actively engage in their education.\r\n\r\nThe markers and whiteboards have become daily tools for learning across all subjects. Students use them to practice writing, solve math problems, brainstorm ideas, and explain their thinking. Having individual whiteboards has made learning more interactive and low-pressure, allowing students to take academic risks without fear of making mistakes. This has been especially powerful for students who may feel hesitant to participate verbally. They now confidently share answers, revise their work, and learn from errors in real time. The markers, in particular, have encouraged creativity and pride in work, helping students feel excited to show what they know.\r\n\r\nThe clay has opened the door to hands-on, sensory-based learning that supports a wide range of learners. Students have used it to build models, represent story elements, explore shapes and structures, and express emotions through art. For many students, especially those who benefit from tactile experiences, the clay has helped them focus, regulate emotions, and deepen understanding. It has also fostered creativity and problem-solving, as students plan, build, and revise their designs. The joy and concentration I see during these activities is a testament to how meaningful hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nThe Magna-Tiles have become one of the most impactful resources in our classroom. Students use them during math, science, and free exploration to build structures, explore geometry, and practice collaboration. These tiles encourage teamwork, communication, and perseverance as students work together to solve challenges and bring ideas to life. Through play-based learning, students are developing critical thinking skills, spatial awareness, and confidence in their abilities. Magna-Tiles have also helped create an inclusive classroom environment, as students of all ability levels can participate and succeed together.\r\n\r\nClipboards have made learning more flexible and dynamic. With clipboards, students can work around the room, outdoors, or in small groups without being confined to desks. This has been especially beneficial during observation activities, partner work, and movement-based lessons. Students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning, and engagement has noticeably increased. Learning feels active and purposeful rather than passive.\r\n\r\nThe additional classroom supplies you provided have helped create an organized, well-equipped environment where students have what they need to succeed. When students have access to quality materials, they feel valued and supported. This sense of care directly impacts their motivation, behavior, and academic growth.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a meaningful difference in the daily experiences of my students. Because of you, learning is more creative, collaborative, and joyful. My students are building confidence, developing skills, and discovering a love of learning that will stay with them far beyond our classroom. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. We are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1763351192250,"projectUrl":"project/a-little-of-this-and-that/9899220/","projectTitle":"A little of This and That","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10352289"},{"teacherId":10099012,"projectId":9637896,"letterContent":"My students absolutely love working in their notebooks, and I have seen a noticeable improvement in both their writing skills and penmanship. Having access to these materials has encouraged them to take pride in their work, slow down, and focus on neat, thoughtful writing. They are fully utilizing all of the supplies on a daily basis and are excited to write in the classroom—something that has made a huge difference in their confidence and motivation as learners.\r\nThese notebooks have transformed our writing time into a moment students genuinely look forward to. Many students now choose to write independently, practice letter formation, and express their ideas more clearly than before. I am truly impressed by their enthusiasm and growth, and this project has had a meaningful impact on their learning experience. Thank you for supporting my students and helping create a classroom where writing is joyful and empowering.","fullyFundedDate":1760658895214,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-young-authors-creating-our-ow/9637896/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Young Authors: Creating Our Own Book!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10099012"},{"teacherId":10099012,"projectId":9511536,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous donations to our classroom!

Our class has enjoyed every single book we've received, and all the supplies you provided have already been put to great use in our daily learning.\r\nOne of the biggest highlights for my students has been our cozy reading corner. It has quickly become one of their favorite places in the room. They love curling up with books like The Pigeon, Grumpy Monkey, Creepy Crayon, Cat in the Hat, and so many more. It has been wonderful watching them build a love for reading, explore new stories, and share their excitement with one another.\r\nYour generosity has helped create a warm, engaging, and inspiring classroom environment.
