Because of your generosity, my students were able to enjoy an end-of-year celebration that honored their hard work, growth, and perseverance. When students first saw the celebration materials, snacks, and decorations, they were filled with excitement and smiles. Many of my students come from Title I households, and for some, this was the first time they experienced a classroom celebration like this. One student shared, \"This feels special,\" which made the moment even more meaningful.\r\n\r\nWe used these resources to create a positive and inclusive celebration where students reflected on what they learned, shared memories with classmates, and practiced social skills like taking turns, expressing gratitude, and celebrating one another. For my English Language Learners, the celebration also provided natural opportunities to practice speaking and listening in a relaxed, joyful setting. Students proudly talked about their favorite lessons, projects, and goals they accomplished throughout the year.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will carry this sense of accomplishment with them as they transition to the next grade. Celebrating the end of the year helps students see that their effort matters and that school is a place where they are valued and supported. Thank you for helping my students end the year feeling confident, proud, and excited for what comes next. Your kindness helped create memories they will always remember.","fullyFundedDate":1714411969149,"projectUrl":"project/lets-celebrate-the-end-of-the-year/8315980/","projectTitle":"Let's Celebrate The End Of The Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7785180_orig.jpg?crop=477,477,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618534884008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7785180"},{"teacherId":7785180,"projectId":8232471,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping us refill our classroom supplies. Because of your support, my students now have the basic materials they need every day to learn, create, and participate fully in class. When the new supplies arrived, my students were excited to see markers pencils, paper, and learning materials ready for them to use. Several students said, \"We have new supplies!\" and eagerly got to work. For many of my students, especially those from Title I households, having their own materials at school helps them feel prepared, confident, and included.\r\n\r\nWe use these supplies daily during reading, writing, math, and hands-on learning activities. Students use paper and pencils to practice writing sentences, solve math problems, and draw pictures to support their understanding—an important strategy for English Language Learners. Having enough supplies allows me to focus on teaching instead of worrying about sharing or running out, and it gives students the freedom to fully engage in lessons without interruption.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using these supplies as we work on building reading comprehension, writing complete sentences, and solving math problems with visuals and models. These materials support both academic learning and language development, helping students express their ideas and show what they know. Thank you for making sure my students have the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed every day. Your generosity truly makes a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1709732285840,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-refill-our-supplies/8232471/","projectTitle":"Help Us Refill Our Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7785180_orig.jpg?crop=477,477,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618534884008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7785180"},{"teacherId":7785180,"projectId":7501221,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting flexible seating in our classroom. Because of your generosity, my students now have more ways to sit, move, and learn in a way that works best for them. Many of my students are English Language Learners and come from Title I households, and having choice in seating helps them feel comfortable and included. When the new seating arrived, students were excited to try the teacher chairs, wiggle seats, scoop rockers, and bench table. They proudly asked, \"Can I try this one?\" and were eager to get started with learning.\r\n\r\nWe use flexible seating throughout the day during reading, writing, math, and small-group instruction. The wiggle seats and scoop rockers allow students to move their bodies while staying focused, which is especially helpful for students with attention and sensory needs. The teacher chairs and bench table create inviting spaces for partner work and small groups, where students can practice speaking, listening, and collaborating. I have noticed that students are more engaged, stay on task longer, and feel more confident participating in lessons when they are seated in a way that supports their bodies.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using flexible seating as they work on reading comprehension, math problem solving, and language development. These seating options support independence and self-advocacy, as students learn to choose what helps them learn best. Because of you, my classroom is a space where all students feel comfortable, valued, and ready to learn.

Many of my students are English Language Learners and come from Title I households, and school can sometimes feel overwhelming. When my students first saw the new calming corner—with the bean bag chair, soft rug, weighted lap pads, and calming tools—they were excited and curious. Several students immediately wanted to sit quietly and explore the space. One student said, \"This helps my body feel calm.\" It was clear right away that this space would help students feel safe and supported.\r\n\r\nWe now use the calming corner every day. Students choose it when they feel frustrated, tired, or unsure how to express their feelings in words. The breathing posters, feelings mirror, and mindful maze boards are especially helpful for my English learners because they provide visual and hands-on support. Students can point to a feeling, practice breathing, and calm their bodies without needing a lot of language. After spending a few minutes in the calming corner, students are better able to return to learning and participate with confidence.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue learning how to name emotions, practice self-control, and use strategies to calm themselves during lessons and transitions. These skills support both learning and language growth. Because of you, my students know they have a safe space in our classroom where they are cared for and understood. Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to feel calm, included, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1678451989456,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-calming-corner/7197447/","projectTitle":"Classroom Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7785180_orig.jpg?crop=477,477,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618534884008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7785180"},{"teacherId":1023147,"projectId":9975853,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding my project!

The different density of the liquids was invisible until we added food color of their choice. Students activate the reaction dropping pieces of alka seltzer into the bottle, noticing bubbles rising up thru the mineral oil but asked why didn't all the bubbles pop? Their observations led to more questions. What happens if we use a whole seltzer tablet? Why are some bubbles smaller than others? What happens if we screw the cap on the bottle? Can we use another oil? Their I wonder questions were sparked as they watch the chemical reaction.

When our new rugs arrived, my third graders' faces completely lit up. They couldn't believe that these cozy, colorful spaces were just for them. The large rug has become the heart of our classroom, where we gather for morning meetings, read-alouds, and math talks. The smaller rug has turned into a calm corner where students can read, reflect, or take a quiet break when they need it.\r\n\r\nAlmost right away, I noticed a change in the energy of our room. Students naturally gravitate toward the rugs to collaborate, share ideas, and listen during lessons. During our current unit on narrative writing, they love to spread out on the big rug with their notebooks, sharing stories with partners or sketching storyboards. The space feels open, inviting, and full of life, exactly the kind of environment that helps young learners feel safe and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nNext, we're working on building stronger reading stamina and writing fluency. The rugs have become our \"thinking spots,\" where students feel comfortable taking creative risks and supporting one another. They're already looking forward to using the rugs to watch a movie together during our Halloween class party. I'm so grateful for how this project has helped transform not just the look of our classroom, but the way we learn and connect each day.\r\n\r\nA big, heartfelt thank you to all of you from me and my third graders.

The snack boxes have been a huge hit, too—having healthy treats available helps keep everyone energized and focused.\r\nThe new magnetic draw and write chart has quickly become one of our favorite teaching tools. We use it daily to model complete sentences, vocabulary, and grammar in an interactive way. My students love taking turns writing on the chart, which helps them practice spelling and sentence structure while building confidence with their English skills. The name plates, timer, and clean-up materials have made our daily routines smoother, and the wipes and air fresheners help keep our classroom fresh and inviting.\r\nThanks to your support, my students not only have the tools they need to learn, they feel prepared, cared for, and motivated to do their best.
