It has been so helpful to have supplies readily available for our students to do projects. Thank you so much for all the support these donations have made. Students love the winter materials and are super engaged in the learning because of it. The students enjoyed the gifts and prizes. They created ornaments to give as gifts for their families to hold as memories for years on end. Our students will be using some of the sticker crafts to help them develop more vocabulary while still having fun in their learning.

We immediately began incorporating the tables into our daily routines for art, fine motor tasks, and snack time. The students quickly discovered how easy it was to have their materials right in front of them without needing to move around the room—something that made them feel proud and independent.\r\n\r\nBefore these tables, we were constantly shuffling cube chairs up to standard tables or moving students from one workspace to another. Those transitions often created unnecessary frustration or sensory overload. Now, our students can stay comfortably in their own space, focus longer, and enjoy smoother transitions throughout their day. The difference in their engagement and calmness has been incredible to see.","fullyFundedDate":1690990190713,"projectUrl":"project/cube-chair-tables/7469348/","projectTitle":"Cube Chair Tables","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Michelle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7993126"},{"teacherId":7993126,"projectId":7212712,"letterContent":"When our students first saw the new magnets arrive, their eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity. They immediately began exploring how the different poles attract and repel, testing every surface they could find! The materials you funded have transformed our science lessons into hands-on investigations where students are not just learning about forces they're feeling them in action.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the magnets to build mini experiments on magnetic fields, create simple compasses, and test which classroom objects are magnetic. One of our favorite moments was when a student who usually hesitates to participate became the first to predict which materials would attract the magnet—and he was so proud when his hypothesis was right! These small but powerful experiences have boosted engagement, critical thinking, and teamwork.","fullyFundedDate":1680284665789,"projectUrl":"project/magnets-make-us-happy/7212712/","projectTitle":"Magnets Make Us Happy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Michelle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7993126"},{"teacherId":5441421,"projectId":9499186,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your generous donations! Thanks to you, my classroom now has the essential supplies we need to create and learn. The glue sticks, lined easel pad, dry erase markers, file folders, and Clorox wipes have made a world of difference for my students and me.\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to receive the composition and spiral notebooks. One student was so excited, he asked if he could label his own materials! It was a beautiful moment that showed me how much a small act of kindness can mean. The dry erase markers and lined easel pads have also brought so much joy, as my energetic students can now get up and interact with the lesson on the board.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I am also incredibly grateful. I can now create colorful and engaging charts and posters to present my lessons, making learning more fun and accessible for everyone. The Clorox wipes are also a huge help, ensuring that my classroom stays clean and disinfected for a healthy learning environment.\r\n\r\nThere are not enough words to express my gratitude for your kindness and generosity.
