Your thoughtful contribution has made a meaningful difference in both our classroom environment and my students' daily experiences.\r\n\r\nThe Social Emotional Learning materials have provided valuable opportunities for students to build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and develop essential skills such as emotional regulation and resilience. These resources have supported important conversations about feelings, empathy, and problem-solving. During a recent class activity, students used the SEL tools to reflect on their emotions and share strategies for managing challenges — a powerful moment of growth, connection, and mutual understanding.\r\n\r\nThe reusable supplies have also become an integral part of our classroom routines. Having durable, reliable materials allows students to fully participate in hands-on learning activities, collaborative projects, and daily practice without interruption. These resources promote responsibility, creativity, and engagement while helping maintain a well-equipped and sustainable learning space.\r\n\r\nWhen students were introduced to the new materials, their reactions were filled with excitement and appreciation. They immediately recognized that these tools were designed to support their learning and well-being. It was truly heartwarming to witness their enthusiasm and sense of pride.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to play a vital role in fostering a supportive, inclusive, and engaging classroom community. Students will use them to strengthen social-emotional skills, collaborate effectively, and approach learning with confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' growth, well-being, and success. Your generosity has created a lasting and positive impact that extends far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1766034373320,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-social-emotional-l/9937327/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials: Social Emotional Learning & Reusable Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Delgado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8153217_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1635132641557","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/delgado13"},{"teacherId":8153217,"projectId":9638589,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom. Because of your thoughtful contributions, my students now have access to new headphones, dry erase markers, and headphone jack adapters — resources that are already enhancing our daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe headphones and adapters have made a tremendous difference in helping students fully engage with technology-based instruction. Students can now clearly hear lessons, directions, and feedback during online programs and independent learning activities without distractions. During a recent digital math lesson, I observed students working with greater focus and confidence, able to concentrate on their tasks in a way that simply wasn't possible before.\r\n\r\nThe dry erase markers have also become an essential part of our classroom routines. Students use them daily for problem-solving, practicing skills, brainstorming ideas, and participating in interactive lessons. Something as simple as having reliable materials has increased participation and encouraged students to take academic risks. I've seen students eagerly volunteer answers, revise their thinking, and collaborate more freely during whiteboard activities.\r\n\r\nWhen these materials first arrived, the excitement in the room was immediate. Students were genuinely thrilled and expressed how special it felt to receive new supplies. Their enthusiasm and appreciation were a powerful reminder of how meaningful your support truly is.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to support student engagement, collaboration, and active learning. Whether through technology-based lessons, small-group instruction, or hands-on whiteboard activities, your generosity is helping create a classroom environment where students can thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and their learning.

Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful difference for my students.\r\n\r\nWith our new chairs, students now have comfortable, flexible seating that allows them to stay focused and engaged throughout the day. Something as simple as proper seating has had a powerful impact — students are able to settle in more quickly, participate more actively in lessons, and collaborate more effectively with their peers. During a recent small-group activity, I noticed students leaning in, fully immersed in discussion, without the usual distractions caused by discomfort. It was a wonderful moment that highlighted how your gift is supporting both learning and classroom community.\r\n\r\nWhen the chairs first arrived, the excitement was truly heartwarming. Students immediately noticed the change and expressed how \"new\" and \"special\" the classroom felt. Several students commented on how comfortable they were, and many took extra pride in taking care of our refreshed learning space.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these chairs will continue to support student-centered learning experiences. As we move into upcoming collaborative projects, reading circles, and hands-on activities, students will benefit from an environment designed for comfort, movement, and engagement. Your donation is helping create a classroom where students can focus on what matters most — learning, growing, and feeling valued.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and contributing to a positive, supportive learning environment.
