Your donation has allowed me to replenish favorite items and introduce exciting new rewards that have truly energized our students.\r\n\r\nWith your help, I was able to stock the store with a variety of fun and motivating items—cute pencils, fidgets, squishies, puzzle erasers, small plushies, and other treats. The students were thrilled to see all the new merchandise and couldn't wait to spend the tickets they had earned through positive behavior, effort, and participation.\r\n\r\nThe store has become a joyful and encouraging part of our classroom community. Students are not only motivated to earn tickets but also take pride in making thoughtful choices and celebrating their hard work. Your generosity has helped me create a positive learning environment where students feel seen, appreciated, and excited to succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you again for bringing smiles, motivation, and a little extra magic to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1758855252272,"projectUrl":"project/earn-it-spend-it-our-student-store-nee/9481394/","projectTitle":"Earn It, Spend It: Our Student Store Needs You!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp38844_orig.png?crop=1256,1256,x0,y159&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565225853928","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsannagin"},{"teacherId":38844,"projectId":9472628,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing classroom supplies, snacks, and storage materials to help us start the school year strong! Your donation has made a huge difference in both the organization and creativity of our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe supplies you provided have been used in countless projects and assignments. In science, students created colorful foldables to represent the characteristics of living things and designed \"cell wanted\" posters to showcase their understanding of cell structures and functions. In math, they used the materials to create \"To Go containers,\" which helped them apply their learning about surface area and volume in a hands-on, meaningful way.\r\n\r\nThe snacks you provided have helped students stay focused and energized throughout the day, creating a caring and supportive learning environment. The new storage boxes have also transformed how our classroom runs—each table group now has their own organized supply bin, which keeps projects running smoothly and helps students take responsibility for their materials.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are more engaged, organized, and ready to learn each day.

Your donation has made an incredible difference in my classroom.\r\n\r\nWith the new 3D supplies, my students have been able to bring their learning to life in exciting, hands-on ways. In math, they designed and printed different geometric shapes to explore volume, surface area, and symmetry. In science, they created models of cell parts to better understand how structures relate to their functions. And during free time, students used the printer to make fidget toys—giving them a creative and calming outlet during the day.\r\n\r\nIt has been wonderful to see their pride and curiosity grow as they watch their designs transform from digital models into real objects they can hold and examine. The 3D printer has truly become a tool for imagination and deeper understanding in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and making innovative learning possible.

The majority of my students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Most of their families prioritize necessities over school supplies. At the beginning of the year, many students do not have the basic supplies to do their work and I always find myself spending a lot of money buying what they needed. Because of generous donations this year, I didn't have to spend as much of my own money. I was able to give any student any supplies they needed to use in my class and at home. The students are relieved that they don't have to ask their families to purchase supplies for them and they aren't shamed because they cannot afford to purchase them on their own.\r\n\r\nHowever, even with the donations, I still quickly started to run out of supplies and materials to use in my class. Thanks to your generous donation, I was able to refill those supplies and provide the students anything they need. It was a relief not to have to run to the store and get more materials for my students.\r\n\r\nWe will continue to use the supplies for the rest of the year and I anticipate that I will have enough to start my next school year as well.

My current and future students appreciate your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1743003444180,"projectUrl":"project/basic-supplies-to-finish-the-year/9188037/","projectTitle":"Basic Supplies to Finish the Year","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp38844_orig.png?crop=1256,1256,x0,y159&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565225853928","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsannagin"},{"teacherId":5876706,"projectId":4864679,"letterContent":"Thank you all for your donations to our classroom.

Having a safe storage cabinet that I am able to lock our items ensures that our student's supplies stay in the classroom for their use. As well as having new binders and markers for the students to use is amazing, as they are able to have a binder for all 4 core subjects.

The Bambu multicolor 3D printer is going to bring the concepts I am teaching to life and make learning math, coding, and science more engaging and hands-on. \r\n\r\nAlthough I've only had a for a short time, I've already started experimenting with it and looking for ideas on how to use it with my students. For an upcoming unit on DNA, I've printed some 3D models of the double helix to demonstrate how the different proteins bond together. I will also be creating some models where the students will build DNA strands with protein pairs. They'll get to learn why only certain proteins can pair together. \r\n\r\nTeaching about the cell is also a big part of my curriculum and can be a hard concept to learn. I've started to print a buildable cell model so students can learn about the organelles. Completing the cell model while learning about the organelles will help the students remember the functions of the organelles more easily.\r\n\r\nIn the future, I hope to find ways to have the students design their own materials to aid their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation!","fullyFundedDate":1733252999019,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-students-in-math-science-and/8979360/","projectTitle":"Engaging Students in Math, Science, and Coding With 3d Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp38844_orig.png?crop=1256,1256,x0,y159&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565225853928","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsannagin"},{"teacherId":9766345,"projectId":8804485,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contributions to our classroom!
