The supplies you helped provide have already made a big difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe Expo markers have been especially helpful during small group work and student-led activities. Students are much more engaged when they can share their thinking on whiteboards and work through problems visually. The highlighters are great for close reading and help students focus on key ideas. Even the tissues play a role—keeping students comfortable and cared for so they can stay focused on learning.\r\n\r\nThese materials have helped students feel more prepared and confident. They've supported all learners in the room, especially those who need a little extra structure to stay on task. I'm truly grateful for your support—because of you, our classroom is a better place for every student who walks in.","fullyFundedDate":1753918150438,"projectUrl":"project/prepared-spaces-create-safe-learning-env/9472176/","projectTitle":"Prepared Spaces Create Safe Learning Environments","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8484963_orig.jpg?crop=1658,1658,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657580174599","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/loralie-baum"},{"teacherId":8484963,"projectId":9344977,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project! Because of you, my students are diving into history with excitement, creativity, and curiosity.\r\n\r\nWhen I plan my lessons, I always try to find a balance between making them meaningful and fun. I've learned that giving students a chance to do something hands-on really helps them understand and remember what we're learning—especially in history, where so much of the content is completely new to them. Thanks to your donation, we now have access to chalk pastels, colored pencils, construction paper, and Flair pens—materials that help bring the ancient world to life.\r\n\r\nJust this past week, the students designed panels for our classroom \"cave\" as part of our early humans unit. They were thrilled to get their hands on the new materials and turn blank sheets into artwork inspired by the cave art we had studied. We explored the animals, symbols, and techniques used by early humans, and then they used that knowledge to create their own interpretations. Watching them make those connections—turning what they read into something they could see and touch—was incredibly powerful. It's moments like that which make teaching so rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour support doesn't just provide supplies—it helps create lasting learning experiences. As we continue through the year, students will use these tools to explore ancient civilizations, write like Egyptian scribes, try Chinese brush painting, and so much more. With your help, they aren't just reading about history—they're living it.","fullyFundedDate":1751055868887,"projectUrl":"project/learn-history-through-art/9344977/","projectTitle":"Learn History Through Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8484963_orig.jpg?crop=1658,1658,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657580174599","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/loralie-baum"},{"teacherId":8484963,"projectId":9450998,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support!
