Your support has provided my students with valuable tools that help make learning more engaging and accessible. The iPad is used throughout the day to support English language development through reading activities, vocabulary practice, translation tools, and interactive learning programs. Students are always excited when it is their turn to use the iPad, and it has become a highly motivating resource in our classroom.\r\nThe timer has also made a positive impact on student learning. Many of my English learners benefit from clear expectations and structured work periods. Using the timer helps students stay focused, manage their time, and transition smoothly between activities. It encourages independence and helps students develop important organizational skills that support their academic success.\r\nOne of the most exciting outcomes has been seeing students become more confident and engaged in their learning. Whether they are practicing new vocabulary on the iPad or challenging themselves to stay on task during timed activities, these tools help create a positive and productive learning environment. Thank you for investing in my students and supporting their growth. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and makes a difference every day.","fullyFundedDate":1769178233873,"projectUrl":"project/tech-time-tools-for-focused-learning/9939283/","projectTitle":"Tech & Time Tools for Focused Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Singuay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10175762_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755135551025","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10175762"},{"teacherId":399100,"projectId":9919734,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing my fourth grade classroom with a fabulous binder storage center. My students keep their AVID binders on one of the three spacious shelves. Now they have easy access to their materials and our classroom is much more organized because their binders are in one central location instead of being spread throughout the room in random bins.\r\n\r\nThe binder storage center has helped my students become more confident learners. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, and my students have really taken charge of their learning this year. They regularly set academic and social goals for themselves. We celebrate growth and progress as students achieve their milestones. Future goals for my fourth graders include being college-bound and working hard to achieve anything they put their minds to!\r\n\r\nThanks again for enriching my class with a binder storage center. This binder storage center has improved my students' self-confidence and will continue to be a central part of my classroom in years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1769178230628,"projectUrl":"project/binder-storage-for-self-confidence/9919734/","projectTitle":"Binder Storage for Self-Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doerr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp399100_orig.jpg?crop=388,388,x53,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556939620888","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-doerr"},{"teacherId":5288363,"projectId":10057688,"letterContent":"A New Level of Comfort and Professionalism\r\nThe arrival of our new classroom resources has completely transformed the atmosphere of our learning environment. When the students first saw the Avalon Water Cooler and the organized station with the new cup dispenser, there was a collective sigh of relief. One of my students immediately said, \"It feels like a real office in here now!\" These materials have sent a clear message to my class: their comfort and their time are valued. We've already seen a huge decrease in students needing to leave the room for water breaks, which means more consistent instructional time for everyone.\r\nThe impact on our daily workflow has been just as significant. During a recent project where students had to assemble their research portfolios, the Swingline Electric 3-Hole Punch and Bostitch Electric Staplers were the stars of the show. Instead of a long line at my desk or struggling with old, jammed manual tools, students were able to independently and efficiently finalize their work. It was a proud classroom moment to see them taking such ownership of their professional presentation, moving through the \"finishing station\" with ease and returning to their desks to peer-review each other's work.\r\nLooking ahead, our next step is to use this newfound efficiency to dive into our End-of-Year Portfolios. With the new heavy-duty floor mats keeping our space clean and defined, and the water station keeping everyone hydrated, we are ready to tackle our most challenging lessons yet. Thank you for providing the \"little things\" that make a massive difference in how my students show up to learn every day!","fullyFundedDate":1769395353227,"projectUrl":"project/hydrated-minds/10057688/","projectTitle":"Hydrated Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lozano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5288363_orig.jpg?crop=1255,1255,x0,y158&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769203730411","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5288363"},{"teacherId":399100,"projectId":9645821,"letterContent":"Thanks again for your donation of a standing desk for my fourth grade classroom. The standing desk we received is so cool!!!! It has an innovative button in the front that students can press to make the desk higher or lower according to their height. They use the standing desk every day! Since I have a large class I have been keeping the standing desk in the back of our room near our large group table. Instead of having 8 kids crowded at the table during group time, I send some of them to the standing desk to complete their work. They love using it!\r\n\r\nWe recently completed a fraction sorting activity where students arranged cards according to whether a fraction was greater than or less than one whole. They used the table to keep their cards organized as they reasoned about each fraction's value with a partner. I have many students with ADHD, so this desk is also a perfect place for them to work because they are not confined to a seat. They can listen to the lesson and participate while standing up. My students enjoying reading to each other at the standing desk as well. \r\n\r\nThanks again for your kind donation and know that you have made such an incredible positive difference in my fourth grade class. Now all my teacher friends want a standing desk for their own classroom:) Wishing you only the best!","fullyFundedDate":1762901398097,"projectUrl":"project/super-standing-desk/9645821/","projectTitle":"Super Standing Desk","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doerr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp399100_orig.jpg?crop=388,388,x53,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556939620888","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-doerr"},{"teacherId":399100,"projectId":9616935,"letterContent":"I wanted to let you know that my fourth grade class has loved having a comfy new rolling chair! They use it all the time when we do student-led math groups. Student \"teacher-leaders\" sit in the chair and use the computer to direct their peers in math-related review. Recently the students used the chair to read to the class during our read aloud time. It can be lowered or made higher depending on each child's height. The mesh backing is very supportive and I know that this chair will last for many years because it is made from high quality materials.\r\n\r\nThanks from the bottom of my heart for providing this rolling chair for my classroom. I mentioned that my school never provided me with a teacher chair. I had been using a hard, uncomfortable student chair to teach from prior to your donation. Most of my lessons happen in the front of the room by our Promethean board, so now that I have this fabulous rolling chair I can easily adjust the height and am feeling more relaxed as I teach. As you know, this job is stressful, but rewarding. Having this rolling chair makes my job teaching easier because by posture has improved because I am no longer bending down to reach the table to share work on our document camera. I also really enjoy using it to roll to different areas of the room when I need to quickly grab a worksheet or redirect a student without getting up. I use the chair as an incentive. Today was one of my students' 10th birthday and he proudly sat in the rolling chair the entire day.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a kind and generous person. Know that your donation has made a positive impact in my fourth grade classroom and that this chair will be used for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1762881011705,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-rolling-chair/9616935/","projectTitle":"Comfy Rolling Chair","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doerr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp399100_orig.jpg?crop=388,388,x53,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556939620888","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-doerr"},{"teacherId":10175762,"projectId":9592077,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our ELD classroom through \"Learning Starts Here: Supplies + Safety.\" Your donations have helped create a safe, organized, and welcoming learning environment where students can focus on building their English skills with confidence. When students first saw the new supplies and safety materials, they were genuinely excited and proud. Many asked if the materials were really for our class. Having consistent access to pencils, organized resources, and visible safety supplies helps them feel prepared and cared for every day.\r\n\r\nWe are already using these materials in our vocabulary, reading, and writing lessons. Students use the supplies to complete graphic organizers, annotate texts, and participate in collaborative speaking activities. Because we no longer have to worry about missing materials, we can focus fully on language development and academic growth. Your generosity has strengthened our classroom community and shown our students that people believe in their success.

The \"Good Vibes\" neon sign and LED strip lights immediately set a warm, welcoming tone, but the biggest reaction came from the changeable artwork frames. When my students realized their own drawings and crafts would be displayed in professional-style frames on our walls, their faces lit up with pride. One student told me, \"I feel like a real artist now!\" This project has turned our classroom from a standard workspace into a vibrant gallery that celebrates every child's unique voice.\r\nWe've already put these resources to work during our first major multicultural self-portrait project. Using the Crayola Colors of the World sets and the modeling clay, students created 3D representations of themselves and their heritages. The X-ACTO electric crayon sharpener was a massive hit—it sounds like a small detail, but having sharp, ready-to-use tools kept the creative flow going without the usual frustration of broken materials. To see them then carefully store their work in the new Storex project boxes and earn \"desk pets\" (animal erasers) for their focus was a beautiful moment of classroom community and pride.\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps are to use the 15,000-piece clay bead kit and LEGO Botanical sets to explore patterns and engineering in art. These materials aren't just \"supplies\"; they are rewards for hard work and tools for expression that many of my students wouldn't have access to otherwise. Because of your generosity, our classroom is now a place where students are excited to walk through the door and eager to see what they can create next.
