The excitement they showed while exploring the materials sparked deeper conversations, creative problem-solving, and a renewed eagerness to participate. These donations didn't just supply our classroom—they opened doors, inspired new ideas, and reminded our students that their learning matters and that there are people who believe in their potential. \r\n\r\n\r\nMany of the materials, such as the whiteboard on wheels and the who, what, where writing cards, helped improve student engagement and motivation to work on their writing. I was able to utilize the resources in small groups and station rotations, where students practiced their writing skills at various hands-on centers. Every little resource helps a student feel more connected to their learning, and you were part of their success!","fullyFundedDate":1760627549553,"projectUrl":"project/we-all-deserve-to-be-readers-/9828654/","projectTitle":"We All Deserve To Be Readers !","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gauding","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10312006"},{"teacherId":7678297,"projectId":9816090,"letterContent":"I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom.
