It allows us to store fresh snacks, fruits, cheese sticks, and other nutritious options that help students stay energized throughout the day. Many of our students rely on these snacks to help them refocus, especially during long learning blocks or after returning from recess. Having access to something healthy and refreshing has made a noticeable difference in their stamina, attention, and overall readiness to learn.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought comfort, stability, and a sense of belonging to our classroom — far beyond the physical item itself.

Students who once hesitated to pick up a nonfiction book are now eagerly diving into topics like animal adaptations, space exploration, historical leaders, and fascinating inventions. The variety of texts has allowed every student—no matter their reading level or background knowledge—to find something they can understand, connect with, and get excited about.\r\n\r\nThese books have strengthened our science and social studies learning as well. Students are now able to read deeply about the very concepts we explore during lessons. During our animal adaptations unit, students independently pulled books from the new collection to help them answer research questions. They have been using the text features you've helped bring into our classroom—captions, diagrams, glossaries, and maps—to build their comprehension and to share new facts during discussions. I have watched their confidence grow as they learn how to navigate informational texts like real researchers.","fullyFundedDate":1755711131162,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-the-world-through-nonfiction/9454689/","projectTitle":"Unlocking the World Through Nonfiction!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vicencio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9335356_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697738152962","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9335356"},{"teacherId":9335356,"projectId":9253049,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your incredible support of our classroom project, The Math Mastery Cart. Because of your donation, our math center has transformed into an organized, engaging, and highly effective space that truly supports every learner in our room.\r\n\r\nOur new 3-tiered storage cart has also been a game changer. Manipulatives are now clearly organized and easily accessible during small groups, which has made instructional time smoother, more efficient, and far more engaging. Students quickly grab the tools they need—number lines, counters, dry erase boards—and get right to work without losing learning time. This increase in organization has supported my students with disabilities and English language learners especially, giving them immediate access to materials that help them thrive.\r\n\r\nFinally, the brochure holder has added a special touch to our multiplication station. The multiplication fact pamphlets are now inviting, easy to find, and constantly used. Students visit the station excited to practice their facts, and the structured layout helps them stay focused and successful. Daily multiplication practice is essential in third grade, and your support has made this routine both accessible and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nThis project has not just supplied materials—it has strengthened our math culture.
