In addition, my students are currently learning how to create slides to share what they have learned and create 3D models for our class 3D printers. The new mice help them with the small details, and using the right-click makes the whole process easier and more efficient. As you can see, these are handy tools.\r\nThank you for opening your heart and helping my kids. Please continue donating to classrooms around the country. Our kids need this support.

The students could not wait to organize their things inside their Lakeshore book bins their way. They chose to organize by language, subject, or type of material.\r\n\r\nDue to the new organization system students are able to find their materials faster and are able to access them at all times. We are able to transition to different groups with ease as they just have to take their bins wherever they need to. Students are able to chose to work wherever they want throughout the day and take their bins with them. Since all of their materials are kept in their bins they have more space when working with hands on materials like in math. \r\n\r\nThe shelves have allowed students to have their own permanent/safe spot to put their bins into on a daily basis. Sometimes students prefer to leave their bins in the shelf and refer to it as needed. This has helped with students social emotional needs as well since they have a specific spot on the shelf we have eliminated disagreements over where to put our things.","fullyFundedDate":1755710785953,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-stay-organized-and-ready-to-lear/9581536/","projectTitle":"Help Us Stay Organized and Ready to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Espinoza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4808475"},{"teacherId":1233978,"projectId":9443823,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom.

It was amazing to watch them problem-solve side by side, celebrating each other's creations and learning how to collaborate in new ways.\r\n\r\nThe life science kits and anatomy models have also transformed our lessons. For many of my students, science can feel abstract, but getting to touch and see the concepts has made all the difference. During our first plant kit activity, students were thrilled to plant seeds and talk about what they needed to grow. One student proudly announced, \"I'm a scientist now!\" and the whole group clapped for her.\r\n\r\nThese resources are helping my students with disabilities shine in their own unique ways. They are exploring science more deeply, building problem-solving skills, and most importantly, gaining confidence in themselves as learners.

Having these simple tools has made such a difference — my students feel proud walking into class knowing they have what they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting moments was opening up the new science kits. Since we don't have a formal science curriculum, these kits brought science alive in a way my students had never experienced before. During a recent lesson, we worked on a hands-on experiment about plants, and my students were buzzing with excitement as they made predictions and shared discoveries. It was incredible to watch them see themselves as scientists for the very first time.\r\n\r\nThe board games have also been a huge hit! We've started using them during small-group time, and they've quickly become a favorite way to practice teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Students who are usually shy have found their voices while playing, and everyone is learning how to celebrate each other's successes.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just provide supplies — it gave my students confidence, joy, and opportunities to explore new worlds of learning.
