These new books will help them grow vocabulary, practice comprehension, and develop a true love of reading. Most importantly, they will help our children feel valued for who they are and the languages they bring to school.\r\n\r\nYour generosity restores more than shelves—it restores joy, confidence, and opportunity.

In addition to this initial excitement, it provides a constant reminder to my students that our classroom is a safe space where they should feel happy and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAs I continue in my practice, I would love to continue enhancing my classroom spaces in similar ways the rug achieved.

With this project, my goal was for students to use their own ideas and imagination to create exciting and motivating projects and classwork. When the boxes arrived, the students were beyond excited—especially when they saw the tiny plush animals and colorful building pieces. Several hugged the plushies right away, and others immediately started planning what they wanted to create. The clear storage bins, pantry organizers, and rope basket have allowed us to set up labeled learning stations across the room. Now students can independently access building materials, math manipulatives, mini plush reading buddies, and sensory items without clutter or confusion.

Through your donations, our class had a successful start to the school year with the essential materials. This included graph journals, rulers, poster paper, and folders. These little things add up to a significant impact on our learning. They help create the routines needed for students to find their classwork, feel a sense of belonging in our academic setting, and take ownership of their learning.\r\nAs fifth graders, we are learning to become more precise with measurements. We are making calendars each month by measuring whole inches and fractions of inches. This ensures that each day of the month receives the exact same area. The rulers were essential tools for this task!\r\nWe also studied the early American civilizations: the Maya, the Aztec, and the Inca. Through this unit, we learned about the similarities and differences between these groups of people, with respect to their farming methods, their architecture, and their social classes. Students used the file folders to make their own codices, inspired by the Maya record-keeping system.","fullyFundedDate":1755696531220,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9526019/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Griselda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5650136_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533793534872","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5650136"},{"teacherId":9122382,"projectId":9625284,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed in ways that my students immediately felt and appreciated.

Our new standing bookcase storage rack has become a favorite spot—students love choosing their center box, and it has helped keep our room organized and calm.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was seeing my students' faces when they first saw the scented markers and dot markers. They gasped, cheered, and instantly asked, \"¿Podemos usarlos hoy?\" These simple tools have made writing, word work, and art projects so much more exciting.The sheet protectors, dry erase sentence strips, erasers, and pencil sharpeners have already improved how we practice writing and math.

In first grade, reading is not just about sounding out words—it's about developing critical early literacy skills that help students become confident and joyful lifelong readers. These texts have allowed us to introduce essential skills such as understanding story structure, identifying characters' feelings, asking and answering questions about the text, making predictions, and learning new vocabulary in meaningful ways. Reading in our classroom is now more vibrant than ever. Our students read in small groups, with partners, and independently. They curl up on pillows, spread out on carpets, and share books with friends. We practice \"turn and talk,\" where students discuss story events or character choices with a partner. During whole-group read-alouds, students eagerly raise their hands to share their thinking. These books make those moments richer—they spark curiosity, laughter, and real conversation.","fullyFundedDate":1755696530733,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-books/9623304/","projectTitle":"Fresh Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9122382_orig.jpg?crop=4000,4000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706590960205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9122382"},{"teacherId":2351877,"projectId":9626575,"letterContent":"With your generous donation, we were able to provide more than 300 young artists with the tools and opportunities they needed to use creativity as a way to tell their stories, express their ideas, and deepen their learning. Because of you, art is not simply an \"extra\" in our school—it is at the heart of how our students learn, explore, and make sense of the world. Your support allows us to integrate art with science, history, and literacy, helping students see connections across subjects and experience learning in meaningful and memorable ways.\r\n\r\nIn our community, where resources are often scarce, the materials you provided made a profound difference. Many of our students would not otherwise have access to high-quality art supplies or opportunities to explore different forms of creative expression. Thanks to your generosity, every student—regardless of their background or financial circumstances—has had the chance to create, experiment, and shine. The tools you helped us secure encouraged students to take creative risks, refine their artistic skills, and discover unique ways of communicating their ideas. For many children, these opportunities become moments of confidence and pride that carry into their academic work and personal lives.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting projects your donation made possible this year was our Space Week Art Exposition. Students in grades three through five created imaginative dioramas depicting their own original space habitats. To strengthen the connection to science, students had to consider what an organism needs to survive: food sources, shelter, environmental conditions, and basic survival structures. Using Model Magic and other sculptural materials purchased with your support, they designed creatures capable of living in the habitats they envisioned. Students then built elements such as imaginary food systems, protective structures, and environmental features to complete their miniature worlds.\r\n\r\nThe project is also connected to language arts. After building their dioramas, students wrote stories describing how their creatures live, adapt, and interact within their habitats. They described the daily routines of their imagined organisms, the challenges they faced, and even the cultures of their tiny alien communities. Their narratives were clever, humorous, and sometimes surprisingly thoughtful. This interdisciplinary blend of art, science, and writing allowed students to feel ownership of their learning and to see how creativity can deepen understanding across subjects.\r\n\r\nSpace Week itself holds special meaning for our school. We celebrate it each year in honor of Dr. Ronald McNair, the first African American astronaut. As part of the celebration, students learn about his life, his achievements, and his extraordinary perseverance. For the children in our multi-racial community, Ronald McNair represents the power of determination, curiosity, and the courage to follow your dreams—even when those dreams seem impossible. Having the opportunity to honor his legacy through creative work makes the week especially memorable.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our art room has become a space where every child can be an innovator, a storyteller, and a problem solver. Students use art not only to understand scientific concepts but also to fuel their writing, broaden their perspectives, and consider the world in new ways. Whether they are sculpting with clay, exploring texture with rubbing plates, creating colorful collages, or building imaginative worlds out of mixed media, you have provided them with materials that match their passion, excitement, and potential.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for helping us create a learning environment where creativity thrives. Your gift continues to inspire joyful learning every single day, and we are deeply grateful for the difference you've made in the lives of our young artists.","fullyFundedDate":1755662866620,"projectUrl":"project/sparking-creativity-through-art-stations/9626575/","projectTitle":"Sparking Creativity Through Art Stations for Young Storytellers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hamilton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2351877_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1455853435138","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/artinsteam"},{"teacherId":10192265,"projectId":9628194,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for you wonderful donations and contributions to my classroom. The new easel and the storage unit have made a great difference in our TK classroom! My students truly got full of excitement as they saw the double-sided easel, as it's a new tool for our learning and it struck their curiosity. They gathered around, eager to what I presented to them but also excited to get to write, draw, and show what they knew. It has quickly become one of the most loved tools in our room. We use it daily during circle time, small-group lessons, and interactive writing activities. One of my favorite moments was watching students come up during our phonics lessons, and circle the letter we are learning from our poem of the day or write the letter on the board. \r\nThe five-compartment storage unit has also transformed how our classroom runs. With everything clearly organized and accessible, my students are learning to take responsibility for their materials. We have placed this storage unit near our \"kitchen area \" so now students have their kitchen materials more organized, as well as we are able to organize e a fruit station there too. It's wonderful to see them proudly retrieve and return items on their own—it's a small but meaningful step toward independence.\r\n\r\nThese new resources have made our learning more hands-on, engaging, and collaborative.
