These bright, sturdy bins have completely transformed the space—bringing a fresh, colorful, and organized new look that immediately caught our students' attention. As soon as they walked in, they gasped, pointed, and started exploring shelves they hadn't visited before. One student, who rarely checked out anything beyond graphic novels, proudly walked up to me holding a biography and said, \"I can finally find things!\" The new organization has made it easier for students to navigate the library and has already led to an increase in book checkouts.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new bins daily to highlight genres, guide student choice, and support our current reading goals. Students are now independently discovering new categories—biographies are suddenly in high demand—and our reluctant readers are branching out in exciting ways. As we move forward with our independent reading units and genre exploration activities, these bins will continue to help students build confidence, curiosity, and a love of reading. Thank you again for making such a meaningful difference in our library and in the reading lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1760659748559,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-library-stay-organized-and-insp/9830109/","projectTitle":"Help Our Library Stay Organized and Inspiring!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mac","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10312631"},{"teacherId":7654541,"projectId":9518537,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our STEM program. Your donation will make a meaningful difference for our students—especially those with autism, ADHD, and developmental delays—by providing adaptive tools and sensory supports that help them thrive.\r\n\r\nWith items like noise-reducing headphones, adaptive scissors, wobble stools, and visual instruction cards, students will be able to focus, regulate, and actively engage in hands-on STEM activities like engineering, coding, and robotics. The addition of a mobile utility cart will also give them meaningful opportunities to build communication, math, and social skills while gaining confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nYour kindness helps create a classroom where every student feels supported, included, and empowered to learn.

As students explore simple and complex circuits, they develop a stronger understanding of how electricity flows and powers everyday devices. This hands-on learning fosters curiosity and problem-solving as students build, test, and troubleshoot their own projects. By connecting wires, switches, and power sources, students see abstract science concepts come to life in a concrete and engaging way, deepening their grasp of cause and effect and strengthening their critical thinking skills.\r\n\r\nBeyond content knowledge, circuitry has boosted student confidence, collaboration, and creativity. Working in teams, students communicate their ideas, share responsibilities, and celebrate their successes together. Many students who may not typically shine in traditional classroom settings thrive during these hands-on STEM challenges. Through circuitry, they are not only learning how things work—they are also discovering that they have the power to design, innovate, and create solutions. This sense of agency and accomplishment fuels their enthusiasm for STEM and builds a foundation for future learning in engineering and technology.","fullyFundedDate":1752167188887,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-learning-circuits-for-curious/9440648/","projectTitle":"Light Up Learning: Circuits for Curious Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hoban","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7654541_orig.png?crop=323,323,x0,y4&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751315134541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7654541"},{"teacherId":7651092,"projectId":8711502,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation big and small. My students have received so much enrichment from the supplies that they attained from this project. In the classroom we have been able to take creativity to a new level and they ate continuously growing in craftsmanship and creativity. \r\n\r\nStudents have been able to enhance skills in the area of drawing, painting, and sculpting. They have been excited about the unlimited possibilities in creating. It has also been quite an amazing experience to witness this as an art educator.\r\n\r\nThank you again from me and my students grom the bottom of our hearts!","fullyFundedDate":1726660918553,"projectUrl":"project/arts-materials-for-my-kiddos/8711502/","projectTitle":"Arts Materials for My Kiddos!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Graves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7651092"},{"teacherId":5861692,"projectId":8787692,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity. The high quality, durable headphones that were purchased replaced worn in-ear headphones that were deteriorating quickly. My students use computers on a daily basis to access a variety of reading and math learning sites, as well as for free-choice independent work like science and learning videos, and games for pleasure. The use of headphones enables students to work independently in a quiet classroom environment free of disturbance. \r\n\r\nThe students who are benefitting most from this project are those with learning differences who are easily distracted by others. These students are able to focus better since the headphones limit their exposure to what others are doing on their computers. \r\n\r\nThe students who are most excited by the use of the headphones are those with an interest in art and drawing. These students use the headphones to access videos in their free time and are learning to draw. They have used these videos to create all sorts of amazing drawing which currently decorate all areas of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1726660158515,"projectUrl":"project/hear-ye-hear-ye/8787692/","projectTitle":"Hear Ye, Hear Ye","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. PETERS","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5861692_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1537146684124","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5861692"},{"teacherId":8630296,"projectId":8693716,"letterContent":"I hope you are doing well! I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and share how your generous contribution is already making a difference in our classroom. The new resources have added so much value to our daily activities. One of the highlights has been using the **HP Officejet Pro 9125e All-in-One Printer**, which has made printing projects, worksheets, and materials for our classroom much more efficient. We've been able to create and print colorful, engaging resources, making lessons even more exciting for my students. The students also love the **ENJSD 3D Pin Art Toy**, which has quickly become a favorite sensory toy. It's helping them relax and focus during short breaks and has been a great tool for improving fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw these materials, their reactions were immediate and full of excitement. The **Peanut Free Snacks & Tree Nut-Free Snacks Variety Pack** has been a big hit during snack time, especially since many students have food allergies. They are so grateful to be able to enjoy safe, delicious snacks together, which has fostered a sense of inclusivity in the classroom. The **V8 Splash Berry Blend** and **Juicy Juice Boxes** have also been a welcome addition to our classroom, keeping the kids refreshed and hydrated throughout the day.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using the printer to print out assignments and class materials. The ** Coffee Table** has become a great storage solution, keeping our classroom organized and tidy. We also look forward to using the snacks and drinks as part of our wellness initiative, ensuring that students are fueled and focused for learning.
