They couldn't wait to try out the privacy boards, sharpen their pencils in our new sharpener, and test the elastic fidget bands. The privacy boards have already made a huge difference in writing and math. Students love having their own little space to focus, and several of them proudly called it their \"mini offices.\" The fidget bands have been a hit too, giving students who need to move a way to stay engaged without distracting others. Even the simple joy of having fresh pencils ready to go has brought a sense of pride and preparedness to our classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching the class settle into a quiet writing session with their privacy boards up and pencils sharpened, completely absorbed in their work. It felt like the room transformed into a community of young scholars. The cleaning supplies have helped us maintain a fresh and welcoming space, which makes everyone feel more comfortable and proud of their environment. As we move into our next big project, student research reports that these resources will continue to support focus, independence, and confidence. Your generosity has not only provided tools but has truly lifted my students' spirits, and we are so grateful for the peek you've given into our classroom journey.","fullyFundedDate":1763134711072,"projectUrl":"project/calm-clean-and-ready-to-learn/9618875/","projectTitle":"Calm, Clean, and Ready to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McMillan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7032522_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710864657196","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7032522"},{"teacherId":7874752,"projectId":9409156,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations to my classroom.

The whiteboards and whiteboard markers have tremendously supported their math learning. We have used the whiteboards and markers for our warm up activities to show quick answers. We have also used the markers to practice problems directly on our tables - the students really enjoyed this as it was different for them! The tissues are especially coming in handy now that sick season is starting. Fifth grade is when children's bodies start changing and those air fresheners are especially important during these winter months when the windows cannot be opened. \r\n\r\nMy students were super excited when they saw the boxes start to be delivered.
