Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in the learning experiences of my students.\r\n\r\nThe crayons, pencil boxes, easel pad, and other classroom supplies we received have given my students the tools they need to learn, create, and participate more confidently each day. Having their own supplies helps students feel prepared and responsible for their learning while allowing them to fully participate in hands-on activities.\r\n\r\nThe crayons have encouraged creativity and self-expression through drawing, coloring, and classroom projects. The pencil boxes help keep students' materials organized and easily accessible, which allows us to spend more time learning and less time searching for supplies. The easel pad has also become a valuable resource for whole-group lessons, brainstorming, demonstrations, and interactive learning activities.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these supplies help create a classroom where students feel excited, supported, and ready to learn. Simple classroom materials can make a tremendous impact, especially when they allow every child to participate and have the resources they need.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students are not only receiving school supplies—they are receiving opportunities to explore their creativity, build confidence, practice important skills, and enjoy learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make our classroom a happier, more engaging, and better-equipped place to learn.

Your donation of stools for our small-group learning area has already made a meaningful difference in the way students transition and participate during instruction. Having lightweight, non-bulky seating allows students to move into small groups more quickly and efficiently, maximizing valuable instructional time. The stools also provide students with more space to work comfortably with their classmates and teacher, creating an environment that encourages collaboration, discussion, and hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nI am also incredibly grateful for the donation of graduated cylinders for our science activities and labs this school year. These materials will provide students with opportunities to participate in hands-on scientific investigations, practice measuring liquids accurately, make observations, collect data, and apply what they are learning in meaningful ways. Having access to real science tools makes lessons more engaging and allows students to experience science beyond a textbook or computer screen.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped me create a classroom that is more functional, flexible, and engaging for my students. From providing seating that supports effective small-group instruction to supplying the tools needed for exciting science experiments, each donation directly contributes to our students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting our classroom. Your donations are not simply providing classroom materials—they are creating opportunities for students to collaborate, explore, investigate, and develop a love for learning. We are truly grateful for your kindness and for helping us make this school year a successful and memorable one!","fullyFundedDate":1784323241679,"projectUrl":"project/learning-launchpad/10369425/","projectTitle":"Learning Launchpad","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tejera-Cerezo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10530434_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783096886921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10530434"},{"teacherId":10530434,"projectId":10340609,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations that made it possible to provide our students with quality headphones for this academic school year. Your support has made a meaningful difference in our classroom and has provided students with an essential learning tool that they will use throughout the year. Many of our students have limited access to technology and reliable internet at home, making the technology and resources available at school especially important to their academic success.\r\n\r\nTechnology is incorporated into our classroom instruction on a daily basis. Students regularly use laptops to complete assignments, participate in interactive lessons, practice important skills, watch instructional videos, and access educational programs that provide individualized learning opportunities. With 25 or more students using devices at the same time, trying to learn without headphones can quickly become distracting and overwhelming. Having individual headphones allows students to listen carefully, concentrate on their own assignments, and work at their individual pace without interfering with the learning of their classmates.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students now have access to durable, high-quality headsets that we hope will continue benefiting students for years to come. These headphones have helped create a quieter, more focused, engaging, and meaningful technology-based learning environment.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation helps ensure that students have access to the tools they need at school, regardless of what resources may be available to them at home. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping provide our students with opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. Your generosity is truly appreciated, and the impact of your donation will be felt far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1782161907690,"projectUrl":"project/need-sound-to-make-learning-profound/10340609/","projectTitle":"Need Sound to Make Learning Profound","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tejera-Cerezo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10530434_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783096886921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10530434"},{"teacherId":10530434,"projectId":10335286,"letterContent":"Receiving all of the generously donated items has made a tremendous impact on my ability to start the school year prepared and ready to support my students. Approximately 85% of the students in my combined classes came to school without essential supplies, including composition notebooks, folders, and glue sticks. These materials are necessary for setting up classroom journals, organizing daily assignments, and creating homework folders that help students stay organized and responsible for their learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of these donations, I was able to provide my students with the supplies they needed from the very beginning of the school year, regardless of whether they were able to bring materials from home. Instead of students starting the year feeling unprepared, they were able to immediately set up their journals and homework folders and participate fully in classroom activities. I am truly grateful for the generosity of every donor who helped ensure that all of my students could begin the school year equipped, organized, and ready for success.","fullyFundedDate":1781400905864,"projectUrl":"project/preparing-students-to-sail-into-success/10335286/","projectTitle":"Preparing Students to Sail into Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tejera-Cerezo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10530434_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783096886921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10530434"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98539","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1113,"numTeachers":108,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.9,"schoolId":98539,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gateway Environmental K-8 LC on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gateway Environmental K-8 LC","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/gateway-environmental-k-8-lc/98539"}
