The headphones, testing dividers, clipboards, and other supplies have already made a big difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe headphones allow students to work independently and stay focused when completing lessons and assignments. The testing dividers have created a quieter, more focused environment where students can concentrate and do their best without distractions. The clipboards have also made it easier for students to move around the classroom and complete activities in different learning spaces.\r\n\r\nOne special moment was seeing my students get excited about having materials that made them feel prepared and ready to learn. They were eager to use everything and took pride in having their own classroom tools.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our current lessons, students are using these resources during independent work, assessments, reading activities, and small-group instruction. These materials are helping us create a more organized, focused, and engaging learning environment.

Your generous donation has helped create a welcoming and comfortable reading space that my students are excited to use every day.\r\n\r\nThe new books give my students the opportunity to explore different genres, build vocabulary, strengthen reading comprehension, and practice important skills such as identifying main ideas, key details, character traits, and story elements. Having a variety of books available also allows students to choose texts that interest them and encourages them to read more often.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become a more enjoyable experience. Students love choosing a book, finding a cozy spot on the pillows, and getting lost in their stories. I have especially enjoyed seeing students who may not always choose to read become excited when they find a book that interests them.\r\n\r\nMy fifth graders truly appreciate having a classroom library that feels like a special place just for them.

Your generosity provided our students with new books, a bookshelf, and comfortable seating that have completely transformed our reading space into a place where students want to spend time.\r\n\r\nOur school library has not yet opened for the school year, so our students have not had the opportunity to visit the library and choose books there. Because of your support, however, they have still had access to a variety of books right in our classroom. This has made such a difference! Our students are continuing to work toward and reach their reading goals because they have books available to read every day.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts has been seeing how eager our students are to read. I had been told that motivating this particular group of students to read had been challenging in the past. This year, I am thrilled to see them happily picking up books, finding stories that interest them, and making reading a regular part of their day. Watching students become excited about reading is one of the greatest rewards a teacher can experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a classroom where books are accessible, reading is encouraged, and students can discover the joy of getting lost in a good story.

My students were super excited to complete hands on science experiments both inside the classroom and outside the classroom. \r\n\r\nOut of the STEM kits, they really enjoyed learning that hot sauce can in fact clean a dirty penny, and that Pop Rocks and Pepsi won't actually make your tummy blow up! These were super fun, hands on experiences that we wouldn't have been able to complete without your help. \r\n\r\nTheir favorite project of all was building the wind powered cars. Not only did they complete the build of the cars with minimal to no help, they learned about how wind powered vehicles work. They also had fun racing them in class as well. \r\n\r\nAgain, I really can't thank you enough for helping me give these fantastic kiddos these fun, hands on experiences in class.","fullyFundedDate":1773692160815,"projectUrl":"project/future-inventors-at-work/9906184/","projectTitle":"Future Inventors at Work!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Holland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7640537_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701060207388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7640537"},{"teacherId":6013003,"projectId":9520147,"letterContent":"I want to thank everyone that donated to my project.

These activities have increased student engagement and encouraged curiosity, collaboration, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nArt supplies have supported self-expression and fine motor development while enhancing academic learning across subjects. Students used a variety of materials to illustrate scientific observations, design structures, and represent mathematical thinking through creative projects. Together, STEAM and art resources have helped create an inclusive learning environment where students can explore concepts in multiple ways and build confidence as learners. These materials have fostered innovation, strengthened foundational skills, and inspired a lifelong interest in discovery and creativity.","fullyFundedDate":1763474846088,"projectUrl":"project/all-things-steam/9858415/","projectTitle":"All Things STEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9553253_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737315335132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9553253"},{"teacherId":9553253,"projectId":9723757,"letterContent":"The Warm Hearts and Hands initiative has had a meaningful impact on my students by meeting both their emotional and physical needs. Through donated hats and mittens, students have been able to stay warm and comfortable during cold mornings and outdoor activities, allowing them to focus better on learning rather than on discomfort. Many students came to school without proper winter gear, and receiving these items helped them feel cared for, valued, and included.\r\n\r\nThe Book Buddies program has supported literacy while also providing emotional comfort. Students were excited to receive their own reading companion, which increased motivation to read and participate in literacy activities. For some children, their Book Buddy became a source of security and confidence, especially during independent reading or transitions. This simple gift encouraged a positive connection with books and helped foster a love of reading.\r\n\r\nTogether, Warm Hearts and Hands has created an environment where students feel supported not only academically, but personally. By providing warmth, comfort, and encouragement, this program has strengthened relationships, improved classroom morale, and reinforced the message that school is a safe and caring place for every child.","fullyFundedDate":1763474855163,"projectUrl":"project/warm-hearts-for-the-holidays/9723757/","projectTitle":"Warm Hearts for the Holidays","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9553253_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737315335132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9553253"},{"teacherId":8945793,"projectId":7474691,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our students have been able to explore new books that have opened doors to experiences far beyond what many of them have encountered before. As a Title I school, many of our students have had limited opportunities to travel or experience different cultures and perspectives. These books have allowed them to imagine new places, meet diverse characters, and realize there is a much bigger world waiting for them.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an interactive and engaging experience. Students read independently, with partners, and as a whole class while practicing important literacy skills such as making predictions, identifying themes, drawing conclusions, building vocabulary, and making connections between the text and their own lives. We also encourage meaningful discussions where students share their ideas, ask questions, and learn to appreciate different perspectives.\r\n\r\nSome of our students have especially connected with these new books because they see opportunities and experiences they had never considered before. They eagerly talk about the places they have read about, the challenges the characters overcome, and the dreams they now have for their own futures. Watching students become excited about reading while expanding their understanding of the world has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour support has done so much more than provide books—it has inspired curiosity, strengthened literacy skills, and helped our students believe that their futures can extend far beyond the community they know. Thank you for making these meaningful learning experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1695266699372,"projectUrl":"project/fantastic-fall-reading-school-year-2023/7474691/","projectTitle":"Fantastic Fall Reading School Year 2023!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hannible","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8945793_orig.jpg?crop=1102,1102,x0,y124&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688257003559","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8945793"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79650","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":613,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.5,"schoolId":79650,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Amy B Seibert Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Amy B Seibert Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/panama-buena-vista-union-school-district/amy-b-seibert-elementary-school/79650"}
