The rolling carts and storage trays have made our math and science centers run so much smoother. Instead of scrambling for materials, my students can easily find what they need, which means we spend more time learning and less time transitioning. This simple shift has allowed me to focus on teaching and supporting students in small groups, and it has helped my classroom feel calm and structured.\r\n\r\nThe personal supplies you provided—pencil pouches and folders—have been a huge success. My students are so proud to have their own place to keep their materials, and it has built their independence in ways I didn't expect. Many of my students face challenges outside of school, and having ownership of their own supplies has given them a sense of responsibility and confidence. I've already seen them take more pride in their work and take better care of their materials because they feel like they belong in this space.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest highlights has been our new light-up letter board. We use it daily to share motivational quotes, celebrate student achievements, and highlight classroom goals. My students love walking in each morning to see what's posted—it sets a positive tone for the day and reminds them that their effort matters. Your support has truly made our classroom not just more organized, but more inspiring. Thank you for giving my students the tools and encouragement they need to keep striving toward their dreams.","fullyFundedDate":1747176391509,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-4th-grade-organized-motiv/9258885/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into 4th Grade: Organized, Motivated, and Ready to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3505843_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507753740460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/laci-moore"},{"teacherId":5000880,"projectId":6493648,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students are more motivated and excited than ever!
