We have so many markers that will last us most of the year. The dry erase markers have come in handy, and is allowing us to make less copies for intervention, because we can use dry erase sleeves. Thank you also for the notebooks. Children can organize the subject per spiral. Thanks also for the homework folders. It is a great way to communicate to parents.\r\nThank you so much for donating supplies to my classroom. Everyone in the class has their own notebook, folder and dry erase markers. This has made it so we can complete more projects and interactive lesson during the school day.. The dry erase markers have been being used daily during reading and math.

In particular, the ability for students to input their responses directly has been instrumental in identifying strengths and areas for growth, especially within the science curriculum.\r\n\r\nYour support has made it possible to integrate meaningful technology into our lessons, and I am truly appreciative of the positive difference it is making in my students' education.","fullyFundedDate":1754021214827,"projectUrl":"project/help-i-am-new-to-6th-grade/9405761/","projectTitle":"Help!

My students and I are using the air dry clay to create small art projects. It's great for them since it's easy to shape without tools and does not require an oven for it to harden. Students are able to create and decorate their projects easily in the classroom and it will be ready for them to bring home at the end of the day. The clay not only fosters creativity, it also helps them with their emotions and helps them to be less anxious. Similarly, the squishy toys are a hit with my students. They are happy when given one and they play with it throughout the day as a fidget to help keep their focus in class.\r\n\r\nThe students were really excited when they saw the materials and look forward to receiving the items. The tooth fairy boxes are also loved by my students. When students lose a baby tooth, they look forward to receiving a special box to bring their tooth home. We will continue to use the items throughout the school year to help the students be happy, calm, and ready to learn. \r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1750256193056,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-and-support-for-learning/9177864/","projectTitle":"Comfort and Support for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4804175_orig.png?crop=755,756,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1667602730091","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4804175"},{"teacherId":8310006,"projectId":9133337,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to this project.

My students use individual whiteboards throughout the school day. My students needed new markers to use daily during instructional time because we had few of them. \r\n\r\nIndividual whiteboards enhance learning and engagement in the classroom because students participate frequently by writing down their ideas and answers during a lesson.\r\nThis is particularly beneficial for shy or quiet students who may not like to participate in front of a whole group. When using white boards I can provide students with instant feedback and students can correct mistakes in real time. Students enjoy doing math on whiteboards.\r\n\r\nThank you!

The headphones have made a huge difference by helping my students focus in a noisy classroom. With many students working on different activities and using technology, having their own pair of headphones have allowed them to hear lessons clearly and stay on task. This has reduced distractions and helped them fully engage with interactive lessons, educational videos, and online activities. The ability to focus and access content at their own pace have made a big impact on their learning and success.\r\n\r\nMy students are special because they are kind, eager, and determined to learn despite the challenges they face. Many of them come from low-income families and cannot afford things like headphones, yet they always show up with a positive attitude and a strong desire to succeed. They support each other and are resilient, which makes me so proud to be their teacher. These headphones have helped them take the next step in their educational journey and feel more confident in their abilities.","fullyFundedDate":1742920512596,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-4th-grade/9103122/","projectTitle":"Headphones for 4th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Teacher Montajano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp275830_orig.png?crop=1776,1776,x144,y19&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738422774559","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/275830"},{"teacherId":275830,"projectId":9092354,"letterContent":"These fidget toys and writing tools have been essential for our classroom because they have helped students concentrate, focus, and ultimately learn.
