Having fresh notebooks, pencils, and whiteboards has transformed our daily routines—students are eager to participate, take ownership of their work, and practice important skills in writing and math. The restocked art supplies have also opened new opportunities for creative projects, which my students absolutely love. They beam with pride when they can express themselves through colorful drawings and designs to go along with their academic work.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating and interactive materials have been especially exciting for my students. Many of them learn best when they can move or have choices in how they work, and the new seating options have given them that freedom. Our classroom games and manipulatives have also created moments of collaboration, where students problem-solve and celebrate together. These resources not only make learning fun, but they also foster teamwork and communication—skills my students will carry with them far beyond this year.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students feel empowered, comfortable, and excited to learn each day.

The keepsakes provided through this project gave each child a chance to reflect on their growth, celebrate their classmates, and walk away with a tangible reminder of how far they have come. The highlight was creating the personalized posters—students lit up as they read the kind words their peers had written about them. This activity not only boosted their confidence, but also strengthened the sense of community in our classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments came when I handed each student their own copy of Oh, the Places You'll Go! with a personal message written inside. The room was filled with excitement as students flipped through their books, many sharing that it would be something they'd treasure and keep for years to come. Even students who sometimes shy away from reading were eager to open their books and read together. The message of resilience, growth, and dreaming big resonated deeply with them.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students left our classroom not only with keepsakes, but with a renewed sense of confidence in themselves and their futures. You gave them more than gifts—you gave them a lasting reminder that their journey matters, and that they have the strength and determination to achieve great things.","fullyFundedDate":1746785558922,"projectUrl":"project/cherished-keepsakes-celebrating-my-stud/9177666/","projectTitle":"Cherished Keepsakes: Celebrating My Students' Journey as Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McKee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9652805_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723519799225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9652805"},{"teacherId":9652805,"projectId":9177638,"letterContent":"With your generous support, my students have been able to dive into an expanded world of stories through our \"First Chapter Friday\" initiative. Each week, we explore the opening chapter of a new book, and the excitement is contagious. These new texts not only spark curiosity, but also introduce essential reading skills—like making predictions, identifying story elements, and building vocabulary. Students are learning how to discuss books with one another, make connections to their own lives, and think critically about what they read.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now feels like a shared adventure. During independent reading time, students eagerly gravitate toward the books they've discovered on Fridays, and many are challenging themselves with texts that push their comprehension skills further. One student in particular, who previously struggled to stay engaged with reading, now asks every Friday if she can be the one to read aloud with me. Another student proudly shared that he and his family checked out a book from the library after we previewed it in class—proof that the excitement is extending beyond our classroom walls.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, my students feel empowered to choose books that truly interest them, and they are building confidence as readers. The joy and ownership they now show when reading is remarkable, and I am so grateful for your support in making this possible. You haven't just given us books—you've given my students the opportunity to see themselves as readers, thinkers, and lifelong learners.","fullyFundedDate":1746786239325,"projectUrl":"project/first-chapter-friday/9177638/","projectTitle":"First Chapter Friday","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McKee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9652805_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723519799225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9652805"},{"teacherId":8371691,"projectId":8642412,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for the amazing mathematician materials we received!

The number blocks and manipulatives have helped them visualize numbers and better understand concepts like addition, subtraction, and patterns. The weight station has been an exciting hands-on activity that allows the students to explore measurement in a fun and interactive way, while the magnetic money has given them the opportunity to practice counting and understanding the value of coins in a real-world context.\r\n\r\nBecause of your thoughtful contribution, I've been able to teach math in a more interactive and engaging way, which has sparked a lot of excitement and curiosity in my students.
