The addition of a large laminator and Cricut vinyl cutter has opened up exciting new possibilities for both instruction and student engagement.\r\n\r\nWith our new laminator, we're able to preserve anchor charts, visual aids, reference materials, and so they can be used all year long. This means students have consistent access to high quality, durable learning supports that help them review concepts, build confidence, and take ownership of the space.\r\n\r\nThe Cricut vinyl has helped us create a more organized, visually inviting classroom that supports independent learning. Students walk in each day seeing work they helped design, and that sense of ownership has boosted morale and engagement.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made our classroom not only more beautiful but also more functional, supportive, and student centered. Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their learning environment. Your generosity will have a lasting impact throughout the school year and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1755738359473,"projectUrl":"project/welcoming-classroom-increased-engageme/9558674/","projectTitle":"Welcoming Classroom = Increased Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1863910_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1501999432386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/yvettehall"},{"teacherId":362430,"projectId":9196591,"letterContent":"This project has transformed our classroom into a true community of readers. Since adding new books to our library, students are more excited than ever to pick up a book and dive into reading. Our shelves are now filled with stories that reflect their interests, cultures, and imaginations, which has helped even reluctant readers find something they love.\r\n\r\nStudents are sharing book recommendations with one another, talking about characters and plots, and spending more time reading both in class and at home. The variety of genres such as: graphic novels, mysteries, fantasy, and realistic fiction has made reading feel like an adventure instead of an assignment.Beyond improving literacy skills, this project has boosted confidence, focus, and classroom engagement.

Many couldn't believe they would get the chance to build such a famous landmark right in our classroom. As we worked on the project together, students used teamwork, problem-solving, and patience to piece together the cathedral brick by brick.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was when a small group noticed details in the stained glass sections and connected them to what we had just learned about Gothic architecture. That moment of discovery turned into a class discussion about why churches like Notre-Dame were so central to medieval communities.\r\n\r\nThese resources truly made history come alive. Students were not only learning from the textbook but also experiencing history in a tangible way that deepened their curiosity. The timing was especially powerful—while we were building, the real Notre-Dame Cathedral was preparing to reopen after its devastating fire. This connection helped students see history as living and resilient, not just something in the past.","fullyFundedDate":1726689018095,"projectUrl":"project/history-come-alive-with-legos-notre-dam/8519159/","projectTitle":"History Come Alive with Legos: Notre-Dame de Paris","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cuevas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3011681_orig.jpg?crop=2943,2943,x188,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1579329698071","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cuevas33"},{"teacherId":362430,"projectId":8846168,"letterContent":"I am overjoyed to share that thanks to your generosity, our project Books for Bright Futures: Ignite a Love for Reading! has been fully funded!

Your support sends a powerful message that their curiosity, growth, and dreams matter, and that there is a community cheering them on.\r\n\r\nThe new books will open doors to worlds they've yet to imagine, introduce them to characters they can relate to and learn from, and spark conversations that will deepen their critical thinking and empathy. For many of my students, this will be the first time they have such a variety of engaging, high-quality books at their fingertips. I can't wait to watch them dive into these stories, share recommendations with each other, and grow as readers and individuals.

Your contribution has brought an exciting and surprisingly powerful piece of technology into our classroom, and I want to share just how much of a difference it's making.\r\n\r\nThe microphone ball is a game-changer for classroom discussions. With the microphone ball, passing it around turns into an engaging, active part of the discussion. It amplifies each student's voice so everyone can hear, and it encourages even the quieter students to participate. Whether we're doing a whole-class debate, sharing ideas in a circle, or reviewing for a test, this tool keeps students focused, collaborative, and eager to join in.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for the kids is honestly, the throwing part! There's something about tossing the mic to a classmate that makes participation feel fun and less intimidating. It breaks up the formality and adds a sense of play to learning, which makes a big difference, especially for students who might otherwise stay silent. They love the fact that it's soft, safe, and built to be thrown around. It feels like a tech-powered game of catch.\r\n\r\nI'm thankful to introduce this tool into my instruction. The microphone ball has become a bridge for connection, confidence, and learning. Thank you again for helping make this possible. Your generosity truly echoes through our classroom, every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1733099175093,"projectUrl":"project/a-microphone-ball-to-amplify-all-student/8567868/","projectTitle":"A Microphone Ball to Amplify All Student Voices","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1863910_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1501999432386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/yvettehall"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30719","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":588,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.5,"schoolId":30719,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wright Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wright Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/el-monte-city-school-district/wright-elementary-school/30719"}
