Before this project, I only had enough storage space for about half of my students. This meant that many students had to keep their belongings in less convenient places, which often made our classroom feel crowded and made it difficult for students to keep track of their things. Thanks to your generosity, every student now has their own designated space for storing personal belongings, folders, books, and other classroom materials.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they saw the new cubbies! They immediately wanted to find their own space and begin organizing their belongings. Having a designated place for their things has helped students become more independent and responsible for keeping their materials organized. It has also made transitions throughout the school day smoother because students know exactly where to put their belongings and where to find them when they need them. We are now able to focus more of our time and energy on learning rather than searching for misplaced materials or navigating crowded storage areas.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, my students will be using their cubbies every day as they participate in reading, writing, math, and science activities. Your support has helped create a more organized, welcoming classroom where every student has a place of their own. Thank you for making this simple but meaningful change possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1782500574238,"projectUrl":"project/smart-storage-solutions-for-student-succ/10348063/","projectTitle":"Smart Storage Solutions for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. King","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10533086"},{"teacherId":10533086,"projectId":10341547,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my third-grade classroom! Your generosity has provided my students with comfortable and flexible seating for independent reading and work time, engaging materials that help them build oral language and write detailed sentences and paragraphs, and popular chapter book series that are helping to ignite a genuine love of reading. These resources have made our classroom a more inviting and engaging place to learn.\r\n\r\nWe are using these resources every day during independent reading, writing workshop, and small-group instruction. One of my favorite moments has been watching students gather in their flexible seating with their chapter books, completely absorbed in their stories and eager to tell a classmate or me about what they are reading. During writing instruction, we are also using our new materials as hands on tools to build strong sentences. Students are learning to expand their thinking, use more descriptive language, and turn their ideas into detailed sentences and paragraphs. Your support is helping my students see themselves as readers and writers, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities you have given them. Thank you for investing in their learning and helping make our classroom a place where they can grow, explore, and discover the joy of reading and writing!","fullyFundedDate":1782133112124,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-and-creative-reading-and-writin/10341547/","projectTitle":"Engaging and Creative Reading and Writing Tools to Inspire Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. King","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10533086"},{"teacherId":5556037,"projectId":9314353,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the supplies provided to our classroom community. We are using vertical boards for our learning extensively this year and the dry erase markers are an invaluable resource. Outside, kids have been creative with chalk drawings, and so appreciative of their selection of choices. The markers reflecting skin tones and hair colors have been met with smiles and delight, as we have only ever had crayons for such purposes, and markers are quite the fun item when you are 6! Thank you so very much. Your support makes our learning more fun, creative, and meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1746901980869,"projectUrl":"project/basic-supplies-needed/9314353/","projectTitle":"Basic Supplies Needed!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zimmermann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5556037_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647009381690","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5556037"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43650","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":320,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":56.9,"schoolId":43650,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Robert J O'Brien STEM Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Robert J O'Brien STEM Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/east-hartford-public-schools/robert-o-brien-elementary-school/43650"}
