These children are growing up so fast! Having multiple size options made everyone feel included. So, thank you!\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped build our 4th grade stronger in unity and teamwork.

Thanks to the folders you provided, my students are much more organized. Papers that used to live crumpled in the bottom of backpacks now have a home. I am still working with students on keeping them neat, but we're definitely headed in the right direction! \r\n\r\nPencils are now easily accessible because of the pencil holder, which means fewer disruptions, smoother transitions, and more time devoted to learning. In short, instructional time has been maximized, and chaos minimized!\r\n\r\nOf course, no good classroom story is complete without a bit of drama. Our old pencil sharpener, affectionately known as Pablo 1, was recently hospitalized after a tragic incident involving an eraser and metal. We've since welcomed our newly donated Pablo 2, who is thriving and sharpens like a dream. Students named him in honor of the original, and spirits are high. We're all rooting for Pablo 1's recovery, but Pablo 2 is doing an outstanding job, and we might just keep him!

Thanks to your donation, our students now have access to engaging, age-appropriate nonfiction content that sparks their curiosity and fosters a genuine love of reading. One of the most exciting outcomes we've seen is that students aren't just reading because they have to, they're reading because they want to.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped shift reading from a purely academic task to an enjoyable and enriching experience. Students eagerly look forward to each new issue, often diving into topics ranging from science and current events to history and environmental issues with enthusiasm. This kind of motivation is invaluable in building lifelong learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in resources that make a meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1754369867287,"projectUrl":"project/news-students-can-use/9476615/","projectTitle":"News Students Can Use!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Logan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/julialogan"},{"teacherId":6808348,"projectId":9476201,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generous donation of supplies! The students are loving them, especially the colorful pencil pouches. They've basically become prized classroom accessories. They were used to pencil boxes that would fall, crack open, and spill their contents; now they have the pencil pouches that zip! No more spilling.\r\n\r\nThe green pens were also a hit, maybe too much of a hit. I had to stop a few mini-Picassos from turning their notebooks into doodle galleries. But once we redirected that creativity, the pens have been great for editing, and the students are really getting into it.\r\n\r\nIt's been a fun and positive experience for all of us.

They get excited when they need to get their new pencil boxes with crayons, markers and other materials in them. The Jumbo Crayons are a favorite of the younger students who have difficulties controlling a regular pencil. They are able to grip the thicker crayons, draw/write with them, and have the crayons leave marks showing the work that had been done. The name tags hold the students QR codes for use on their chrome books and double as name tags when a substitute is there. \r\nMy students are increasing their writing and drawing skills with the materials you helped to get for our room. They enjoy showing off their skills. They are taking ownership in their learning. Their is already so much growth just from the beginning of the year. \r\nI really appreciate your donations, your help in making my classroom a better learning place for my students.

We are able to create smaller work spaces with less distraction for our students. When our music teacher has come in we are able to block off the materials that aren't going to be used by curious little hands during that time. Our speech therapist is able to pull students into an area with limited distractions. We are able to draw students into our calendar area when needed and lower the incidences of students wandering the room. \r\nMy student really like these dividers. Some have pulled the dividers around themselves to take breaks from everything. The students discovered they can hang papers on the dividers using the plastic clips at the top. They also like the challenge of trying to look around the edges and seeing what is going on.\r\nIn the future during rainy day recess we will use the dividers as part of our indoor play. The students like to hit balloons over the dividers like a person playing volleyball. Yes, the dividers were meant to improve our work area, but, they can also be used for fun. \r\nDonors, I want to say thank you again because these dividers have helped a lot in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1752091633717,"projectUrl":"project/creating-better-learning-spaces/9187776/","projectTitle":"Creating Better Learning Spaces","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wheeler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9179146_orig.jpg?crop=2236,2236,x249,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753114880053","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9179146"},{"teacherId":6808348,"projectId":9313618,"letterContent":"Your gift has allowed analytical reflections among our students. They opened up about their own past mistakes during this and prior years. Through our classroom discussions and acts of kindness, they recognized the importance of taking responsibility for their actions. \r\n\r\n Inspired by the book's message, our students wrote letters to next year's 4th graders. In their letters, they encouraged younger students to always try their best, to remember that it's okay to fail, and that each day offers a chance to restart. They shared the importance of showing kindness and standing up for others, even when it's not easy. \r\n\r\nThe students understood that making mistakes is a part of life, but holding ourselves accountable and striving to do better is what creates a person's character and dignity.

Your support has had a meaningful impact on my classroom.\r\n\r\nThe story has been a thought-provoking journey for our students. They've connected deeply with Roz's experience and shown remarkable empathy for her challenges and growth. It sparked powerful conversations about nature, how it could be annoying but essential for life, and why we should respect and take care of our environment. We spoke about the power of technology and, more importantly, what it means to belong and helping others feel included.\r\n\r\nThe excitement didn't stop here; the students are now eager to watch the movie adaptation. They are ready to compare the two and to think critically about how stories are told through different media.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping bring literature to life for our students.

This year, I am teaching two very diverse language arts classes. The physical magazine has allowed our students to annotate text, number paragraphs, highlight main ideas, circle repeated words, and identify text features. This has benefited not only our English learners but also our special education, kinesthetic, and visual learners. These skills are invaluable as they can be applied interdisciplinarily. In addition, they have allowed our students to access the content and engage in meaningful discussions. After their discussions, they could complete the assignments electronically using the Scholastic News online documents.\r\n \r\n Because of the high interest in the articles, students were engaged and wanted to learn more. One article that they favored was the one about the Moai statues. Some students were so interested that they researched more about them and even considered visiting the museum where two statues are kept. Some stated that they wanted to travel to Easter Island. The articles broadened their perspectives and introduced them to new places in the world that they may not have known about before.
