Because of your kindness, my second graders will now have access to materials that truly elevate their learning experience. Your contribution doesn't just provide supplies, it opens doors, inspires curiosity, and helps my students feel seen and supported.\r\n\r\nWhen the resources arrived, my students were filled with excitement and pride knowing that someone they've never met believes in their potential. Your generosity makes our classroom a place where they can explore, grow, and feel confident in their abilities.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your investment in our learning community.

Your kindness and support have made an incredible difference in the daily experiences of my students, and I cannot thank you enough for believing in the importance of interactive, engaging education. Because of your generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a space filled with curiosity, creativity, and excitement for learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also had a tremendous impact on student motivation. Many of my students thrive when they can learn through doing, and these new materials give them that opportunity every day. The hands-on approach keeps them engaged and eager to participate, even in subjects they once found challenging. It has been amazing to see how much more confident and enthusiastic they've become. They now look forward to each lesson, asking what they'll get to build, test, or explore next. This sense of excitement and curiosity is something every teacher hopes to see—and it's all thanks to your generosity.\r\n\r\nBeyond academic growth, these materials have also encouraged important life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and creativity. Many of our activities now involve students working in small groups, which helps them learn to communicate effectively, listen to others' ideas, and solve problems collaboratively. When something doesn't work right the first time, they are learning to persevere, adjust their approach, and try again. These are lessons that extend far beyond the classroom walls—they are lessons that will serve them well throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nIt has also been wonderful to witness how these resources make learning more inclusive. Every student, regardless of their learning style or background, is able to find success through hands-on exploration. Some students who were once hesitant to participate now shine when they can physically engage with materials and demonstrate their understanding in new ways. Your donation has given every child the chance to feel capable, valued, and proud of their achievements.\r\n\r\nYour support reminds our students that there are people in the community who believe in them and care about their education. Knowing that others are invested in their success motivates them to work even harder and to appreciate the opportunities they've been given. As their teacher, I am deeply touched by your generosity and the positive example you've set for them. You have shown them that learning matters and that kindness can truly make a difference. \r\n\r\nFrom all of us—students and teachers alike—thank you once again for your incredible gift. You have not only provided materials; you have provided experiences that will stay with my students for years to come. Your generosity has made our classroom a place where learning is active, joyful, and full of discovery. We are so grateful for your support and for helping us create a learning environment that inspires curiosity and confidence every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1758832179523,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play-hands-on-kinderga/9579975/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play: Hands-On Kindergarten Adventures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7155707"},{"teacherId":10099382,"projectId":9512406,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution to my DonorsChoose Project, \"Ready for 2025: Classroom Essentials.\" Your support means so much to my students and me.

They grab a screen and get to work. They love the crisp new feeling and get to work right away. Only you and I know that they are actually doing work.

The students absolutely love to write on white boards, but the markers are just so expensive. It is not always possible to have that activity for students. When our markers arrived, the students were so excited. I gave each student a marker to put into their pencil boxes. They are so careful to click the lids so that they don't dry out! They have asked if they can come in at lunch recess to do math on the whiteboards. I love that they ask for something where they get more practice with skills. \r\n\r\nI also purchased disinfectant wipes. The students change classes all day. Getting sick is a real possibility.

With these resources, we've been able to access a variety of high-quality, engaging, and standards-aligned supplemental materials that enrich our core curriculum.

With snacks available for children who come to school hungry or without breakfast, students are better able to focus, learn, and participate throughout the day. A simple snack can help a young child feel cared for and ready to engage in their learning, rather than being distracted by hunger. These donations have helped ensure that every student has a more equal opportunity to succeed from the moment they walk through the door.\r\n\r\nIn addition to snacks, supplies like Clorox wipes, highlighters, pencils, and band-aids have helped create a cleaner, safer, and more organized learning environment. The wipes help us maintain a healthy classroom, especially during cold and flu season, while highlighters and pencils support essential learning activities. Having extra band-aids on hand allows us to comfort children quickly when minor injuries occur. These thoughtful contributions have helped meet daily needs and allowed me to focus more on teaching and supporting my students' growth. We are truly grateful for the generosity that has positively impacted our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1747873546786,"projectUrl":"project/meeting-basic-needs-ensuring-food-and-s/9194372/","projectTitle":"Meeting Basic Needs: Ensuring Food and Supplies for Kindergarten Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7155707"},{"teacherId":9834472,"projectId":8940857,"letterContent":"My students have benefitted from the new materials immensely!
