Your contribution made an immediate difference, and I am so grateful for the way you helped us build a classroom where students can create, connect, and recharge throughout their busy school day.\r\n\r\nThe two bean bags have quickly become one of the most loved additions to our room. Students use them as a cozy, calming space to self‑regulate, rest, or simply take a moment to breathe when they're feeling overwhelmed. This small corner has grown into a meaningful part of our classroom community—helping children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe paint and marker sets have also had a huge impact. My students have used them to create beautiful art projects that express their creativity and connect to our PYP units of inquiry. With these vibrant materials, they can bring their ideas to life, think critically, and demonstrate their understanding through hands‑on, meaningful work. Their artwork has filled our classroom with color, pride, and excitement.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources have helped us build a welcoming environment that supports academic growth, creativity, collaboration, and student well‑being every single day. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping us create a classroom where every child can shine. Your kindness continues to inspire them—and me—each day.","fullyFundedDate":1785256684090,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-to-learn-create-connect-and-re/10324395/","projectTitle":"A Place to Learn, Create, Connect and Recharge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fernanda Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058140_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753786173800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-gonzalez-kinder-class"},{"teacherId":1000990,"projectId":10123764,"letterContent":"Our new creative writing resources have quickly become the heartbeat of our classroom. Students are using the journals, mentor texts, and writing tools to dive into character development, experiment with poetry structures, and workshop short stories with one another. One of my favorite moments so far was watching a group huddle around a prompt card, debating whether their protagonist should take a risk or play it safe and realizing they were thinking like real writers, not just students completing an assignment.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the room lit up in a way I'll never forget. Students flipped through the fresh notebooks, ran their fingers over the colorful prompt decks, and immediately started pitching story ideas to each other. A few even asked if they could stay after school to start writing. Their excitement wasn't just about having something new; it was about feeling seen, supported, and trusted as creators.\r\n\r\nNext, we're channeling all that energy into a culminating project: a class anthology of original writing. Students are drafting, revising, and preparing to peer‑edit each other's work with the help of the new resources. Over the coming weeks, they'll choose their strongest pieces, refine them with intention, and learn how to format and publish their writing. Thanks to your generosity, they're not just learning the mechanics of writing, they're discovering their voices and building the confidence to share them with the world.","fullyFundedDate":1773400471702,"projectUrl":"project/inkwell-society-tales-from-the-quill/10123764/","projectTitle":"Inkwell Society: Tales from the Quill","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Calejo Mora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1000990_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1497549504180","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1000990"},{"teacherId":10058140,"projectId":9510429,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous support of my classroom rug project. Because of you, our learning environment has transformed into a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, focused, and truly at home. The three rugs you funded have made an incredible difference for my students.\r\n\r\nThese rugs allowed me to create a cozy corner that has quickly become a favorite spot for quiet reading, calming down, or simply taking a moment to reset. In our daily lessons, students from both of my classes—and even those who attend aftercare—benefit from the comfort and warmth the rugs bring to our room. Many children choose to work on the carpet rather than at their desks, and the rugs now serve as flexible seating options that help them stay engaged and comfortable.\r\n\r\nYour generosity turned our bare floors into soft, inviting spaces where imagination, friendships, and learning flourish. Thank you for believing in my students and helping us build a classroom environment where every child can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1755183503762,"projectUrl":"project/room-to-grow-cozy-rugs-for-curious-kind/9510429/","projectTitle":"Room to Grow: Cozy Rugs for Curious Kindergarteners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fernanda Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058140_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753786173800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-gonzalez-kinder-class"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74095","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":770,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.2,"schoolId":74095,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about ADA Merritt K-8 Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"ADA Merritt K-8 Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/ada-merritt-k-8-center/74095"}
