Because of you, my first grade students were able to experience the joy of receiving Christmas gifts, something that many of them do not often get to experience. Many of my students come from low-income households, so this project truly meant the world to them.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in our classroom was unforgettable. Students could hardly wait to open their gifts. They were eager to try everything right away, especially their new gloves, and kept talking about how excited they were to take their gifts home. Several students shared how they couldn't wait to show their families what they received.\r\n\r\nOne especially meaningful moment was when the students noticed that everyone received the same book, How to Catch an Elf. They were thrilled! We read the book together as a class, and students followed along in their own copies; It was such a special experience. \r\n\r\nThank you for making this holiday season brighter for my students and for reminding them that they are valued and supported.","fullyFundedDate":1763474821430,"projectUrl":"project/christmas-gifts-for-my-students/9897454/","projectTitle":"Christmas Gifts for My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ferreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10351389"},{"teacherId":8252722,"projectId":9096720,"letterContent":"On behalf of the Mighty Bengals from Benavidez Elementary in Parlier California, please accept our deepest gratitude for your recent and generous donation. Your support makes a tangible difference in our classroom, and we are thrilled to share exactly how your contribution has immediately benefited our learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe utilized your gift to establish a brand-new Math Fact Station—a crucial, high-impact resource for students mastering essential foundational math skills. This station is designed to provide consistent, engaging, and organized practice for students across multiple grade levels. Mastering these core facts is critical for future success in more complex mathematical concepts, and your donation made this vital resource possible.\r\n\r\nThe Math Fact Station is now fully equipped and operational, providing students with everything they need to succeed. This includes a dedicated supply of paper copies for daily practice and assessment, ink to ensure materials are always clearly printed and readily available, and a durable organizer that keeps the entire system tidy and accessible. Having these supplies centralized and restocked means I can spend less time managing materials and providing more time for students to earn their way into the Math 400 Club. Not to mention, students can easily grab what they need to reinforce their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your commitment to students' education. The Math Fact Station is a direct result of your generosity and will continue to build confidence and fluency in math for many young learners.
