My students were so excited to see all of the new supplies, especially the colorful markers, classroom caddies, and pencil dispenser. They immediately wanted to know when they could start using them!\r\n\r\nThese resources have made a noticeable difference in our daily routines. Students use the markers for vocabulary activities, graphic organizers, reading responses, and creative literacy projects. The caddies and pencil dispenser keep materials within easy reach, allowing students to quickly get what they need and begin working without losing valuable instructional time. The organizers, magnetic holders, electric stapler, and three-hole punch have also helped us keep student work and instructional materials organized and ready to use.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest improvements has been during our literacy activities and small-group rotations. Students can now gather their materials more independently, transition between activities more smoothly, and spend more time focused on learning.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue building student independence and responsibility as we use these supplies throughout the school year. As we begin more reading, writing, vocabulary, and collaborative projects, these materials will continue helping my students stay prepared, creative, and engaged.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping us create a classroom where they have the tools they need to learn and succeed. Your generosity is making a difference in our classroom every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1758634515531,"projectUrl":"project/setting-students-up-for-success-with-ess/9658843/","projectTitle":"Setting Students Up for Success with Essential Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loraine Enriquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9448710_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720485908172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9448710"},{"teacherId":5417792,"projectId":10181060,"letterContent":"These supplies have made a positive impact on our classroom by helping create a cleaner, healthier, and more supportive learning environment. The disinfecting wipes have helped us maintain sanitized desks and shared spaces, while the Tide stain remover pens have been useful for quick cleanups during the school day so students can remain comfortable and focused on learning.\r\n\r\nThe snacks and treats have also played an important role in supporting student motivation and classroom incentives. Students were rewarded for their hard work and academic growth, including achieving 71% learning gains in reading. Providing snacks and positive incentives helped encourage participation, celebrate success, and build an engaging classroom environment where students feel recognized and supported.","fullyFundedDate":1776173870853,"projectUrl":"project/bright-little-lights/10181060/","projectTitle":"Bright Little Lights","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5417792_orig.jpg?crop=1466,1466,x5,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740159314674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5417792"},{"teacherId":4787826,"projectId":9444863,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. The supplies donated have been working so well for my students. \r\n\r\nI have been able to print projects for my students in color for them to see their amazing work. Each day, they are thinking of something new to do so they can print and see their work. The erasers are always great for students who make many mistakes and need extra erasers. They all really love the smelly bookmarks! I have used them as incentives, which has gotten them reading more and more. \r\n\r\nThe item(s) that my students have been most excited about are the expo markers, the smelly pencils, and the laminating pouches. Anytime we need to work on whiteboards, they love using the vibrant colors. Whenever they bring me personal art to hang, they always ask if I will laminate it before I hang it because it is \"too precious to mess up\". I love using the pencils as incentives/rewards. It has turned into being a competition to see who can get the most scented pencils.\r\n\r\nI am truly grateful for all you have done to help the learning and excitement continue in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1761925691781,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success/9444863/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4787826_orig.jpg?crop=563,563,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668699314502","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4787826"},{"teacherId":9449635,"projectId":9557905,"letterContent":"I am truly grateful to have a printer in my classroom.
