The tissues you provided may seem simple, but they are used daily and truly make a difference in keeping our classroom running smoothly. The bottom-loading water machine has been a game changer—students no longer have to miss instruction time to leave the room for water, which helps keep them focused and present during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe hot water maker has added such a special touch to our classroom community. On colder days, we've been able to enjoy hot cocoa together, and we've even used it to celebrate student birthdays with donuts and warm drinks. When students first saw these additions, they were genuinely excited and felt cared for. It created a sense of comfort and belonging that goes beyond academics and helps build stronger relationships in the classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are able to stay in class, stay engaged, and feel valued every single day. As we continue preparing for important academic goals and state testing, having these resources in place allows us to maximize our time together and maintain a positive, focused learning environment. Thank you for supporting not just our learning, but also the community and care that make our classroom a place where students want to be.","fullyFundedDate":1763474831949,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-focus-classroom-needs-that-matt/9554670/","projectTitle":"Fueling Focus: Classroom Needs That Matter","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7446227_orig.png?crop=1242,1242,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679434481727","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7446227"},{"teacherId":7540368,"projectId":8977744,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a more engaging, motivating, and student-centered learning environment. The dry-erase boards have become a favorite tool for interactive lessons—students love using them to solve problems, share ideas, and collaborate in real time. These boards have made it easier for students to participate without fear of making mistakes, and they've helped build confidence and a stronger sense of community in the classroom.\r\nThe 3D printer has been the most exciting addition. Students are fascinated by the ability to design and create their own personalized rewards, from keychains to nameplates. It's not just a fun tool—it's a powerful motivator. One student who often struggled with staying on task has become one of our most focused learners, driven by the opportunity to earn time designing on the printer. This technology has sparked creativity, encouraged goal-setting, and given students a tangible way to celebrate their achievements.","fullyFundedDate":1739366809673,"projectUrl":"project/rewarding-success-building-a-positive-c/8977744/","projectTitle":"Rewarding Success: Building a Positive Classroom Culture","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Leyva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7540368_orig.jpg?crop=1072,1072,x0,y121&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600493430847","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7540368"},{"teacherId":8278513,"projectId":9349420,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!
