My students were thrilled to dive into the new materials, and as a teacher, seeing their faces light up with curiosity and confidence is a gift I cannot thank you for enough.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these resources was immediate. Our new notebooks have quickly become a classroom favorite; the students look forward to our daily journaling time and are so proud to show off sentences they've written all on their own! Additionally, the whisper phones have made reading a fun, interactive experience, while the decodable books have been an absolute game-changer. There is nothing quite like the look of pure pride on a child's face when they realize, \"I can actually read this book!\"\r\n\r\nFor my more reluctant learners, the multisensory letters and tools have been the key to unlocking their interest. By making literacy tactile and engaging, these students are now eager to participate, and I have seen significant academic growth and progress across the board. We feel truly blessed by your generosity. You haven't just provided supplies; you have provided the building blocks for a lifelong love of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1761850346851,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-today-leaders-t/9813029/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers Today, Leaders Tomorrow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barnes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10069493_orig.png?crop=1290,1290,x0,y511&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753123162068","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10069493"},{"teacherId":10069493,"projectId":9812936,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible generosity in funding our classroom transformation project. Our circle time area has truly become the heart of our classroom—a vibrant, welcoming space where we gather to read, sing, and share ideas. The new chairs have provided the students with the comfort they need to focus, and having a dedicated, professional chair for myself has made our group sessions feel more structured and intentional.\r\n\r\nThe \"amazing\" learning station whiteboard has been the absolute centerpiece of our daily instruction. This multi-functional easel allows me to display our weekly \"Big Books\" and anchor charts in a way that every child can see and engage with. During phonics, the dry-erase surface is an invaluable tool; I can model writing and provide immediate visual aids that bring our lessons to life. In fact, the impact was so immediate that my principal even commented on the difference it made during an observation, noting how much the visual aids improved student engagement and clarity during phonics instruction.\r\n\r\nBy creating this inviting and purposeful environment, you have helped us build a space that supports collaboration, creativity, and focus for every single learner.

Before your gift arrived, we struggled to find a quiet, organized spot for focused learning. Seeing the students' faces light up when they realized they finally had a dedicated area to work with our new paraprofessional was a moment I wish I could have shared with you. This space has become the heart of our classroom, providing a sense of structure and importance to the hard work our students do every day.\r\n\r\nThe impact on our paraprofessional has been equally transformative. Having a dedicated table and storage cart has allowed her to conduct meaningful, high-quality instruction without the physical strain of sitting on the floor or the stress of managing a disarray of materials. With everything she needs organized and at her fingertips, she can focus entirely on the students. We are already seeing the fruits of this organized environment in our data; the academic growth our students have shown since having this consistent, professional space is truly remarkable.

Our little learners were so excited to get new materials that they enjoy using everyday. The new resources have definitely instilled a new love of learning about science and nature! We have used so many of these resources and they love all of them! The new resources have been so engaging for our children and they have learned to be patient and wait for their turn to use the resources, such as the view finders and using the sink and float items in the sensory table, as well as the Design and Drill ABC's and 123's. \r\n\r\nThe science area of our classroom was in need of an upgrade of new resources. It was an area that the children did not interact much with at all. But now, with new materials it has increased the interest of the science area and the children truly enjoy playing and learning with the new items.\r\n\r\nOur classroom is truly grateful for your dedication and support for our project and other projects that you have supported.

Eyes widened, smiles grew, and asked what the massive boxes were for. Once I was able to open and put them together. Many students began sharing with one another, while others asked thoughtful questions about how the wobble stools worked and why we were introducing them into our classroom. Their enthusiasm was not just about having something new but about feeling trusted and supported as learners. Several students expressed that they felt \"more like real readers\" when sitting on the wobble stools because the freedom of gentle movement helped them stay absorbed in their books. This excitement carried into our first group activity using the stools, where students eagerly gathered in circles and demonstrated increased collaboration, focus, and engagement. It was clear that the addition of these stools transformed the atmosphere of our classroom into a space that felt more responsive to their needs.\r\nAs our current lessons continue to build on collaborative group work and deeper reading comprehension, the wobble stools will play a crucial role in supporting students' next steps. We are beginning a multi-week novel study in which students will engage in book discussions, whole group reading, and small-group analysis. The ability to sit comfortably while maintaining movement will help them participate more meaningfully and stay attentive during longer conversations. Additionally, as we move into writing responses to our reading, the stools will provide a stable but flexible seating option that encourages focus during drafting periods. Our donors not only provided a seating resource but also gave my students the chance to experience learning in a way that supports their bodies and minds. We are sincerely grateful for this gift, which has already made a lasting difference in our classroom community and will continue to support our students' academic growth throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1757093165414,"projectUrl":"project/seating-flexibility-seat-choices-for-fo/9566159/","projectTitle":"Seating Flexibility: Seat Choices for Focused Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McCoy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9636427_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755447480677","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9636427"},{"teacherId":9668335,"projectId":9505786,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your generous donation of Art Supplies, daily writing supplies and sensory items.

Our children look forward to using these items in the art area and in their daily work. \r\n\r\nOur class has been able to produce more art on a daily basis due to having these specific art supplies. For that reason, we are truly grateful to be able to have these items to make our self expression easier and more successful in the classroom. Art is an area that the children are able to have fun with and express their feelings on a daily basis and with having an assortment of supplies, it makes it easy and fun. \r\n\r\nThe children have also enjoyed the Kinetic Sand, the Science Funnels, Play Foam \r\nSand ABC, Sensory Ice Cream Set in our Sensory Table.

Instead of only hearing about ideas, they are touching, building, and experimenting—making learning more meaningful, memorable, and fun.\r\n\r\nThese resources have already made a noticeable difference. Students who once struggled to understand abstract concepts are now able to use manipulatives to visualize and practice skills with confidence.
