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. We are truly grateful to have you as a partner in our mission to foster academic excellence.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\nMs. E Rod's 2025-2026 Class","fullyFundedDate":1747063739422,"projectUrl":"project/to-math-fact-proficiency-and-beyond/9096720/","projectTitle":"To Math Fact Proficiency and Beyond!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. E Rod","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8252722"},{"teacherId":8277791,"projectId":8957718,"letterContent":"My students really appreciated the donations.

The new resources have become a vital part of their daily routines, both in the classroom and at home. Students who once struggled with high anxiety and low self-esteem now have tools, such as fidgets and sensory items, to help them self-regulate and stay focused on their learning.\r\n\r\nTeachers have observed a significant decrease in the need for students to leave class due to emotional distress. With these resources, students are learning how to manage their feelings while remaining engaged in their academics. Perhaps most inspiring are the stories students share about their newfound resilience. They are reporting more positive experiences and increased confidence in their ability to navigate challenging situations.\r\n\r\nOur next steps involve continuing to encourage students to explore these coping strategies independently and reinforce their skills through classroom discussions and lessons on emotional regulation. Your contributions have truly made a lasting impact on their well-being, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1731940464021,"projectUrl":"project/chill-thrive-kit-your-ultimate-welln/8743396/","projectTitle":"\"Chill & Thrive Kit: Your Ultimate Wellness Adventure!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Montoya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4829352_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506356376092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jirlisa-montoya"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74838","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":434,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.6,"schoolId":74838,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about S Ben Benavidez Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"S Ben Benavidez Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/parlier-unified-school-district/s-ben-benavidez-elementary-school/74838"}
