Because of your generosity, our classroom now has a 15‑drawer rolling cart, which has made a big difference in how we organize and access curriculum materials. This cart has allowed us to keep supplies neat, labeled, and within reach, which saves time during lessons and helps our daily routines run smoothly.\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the rolling cart arrive, they were so excited and couldn't wait for me to set it up. They were even more excited when they realized how much easier it would be to find the tools and materials they needed. Students quickly began using the drawers responsibly, and we even turned organizing into a learning moment about planning, responsibility, and independence. What used to be a hectic transition between activities has now become seamless, giving us more time for meaningful learning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we're using this new organization system to continue to build stronger daily routines and reinforce positive classroom habits. The rolling cart doesn't just store materials, and it has become a visible part of our learning culture, supporting everything from literacy centers, math centers, and group projects. Your support has truly had a lasting impact on our classroom community, and we are so grateful for your belief in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1758801180121,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-organization/9672952/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Knapp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10236646_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759360945691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10236646"},{"teacherId":9936975,"projectId":9667173,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the supplies donated to my classroom.

Students who were previously hesitant with math are now eagerly engaging in activities with excitement and confidence. Your gift has turned a simple concept into a hands-on learning adventure that they look forward to every day.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the new headphones have been a game-changer in our classroom. Before your donation, many students struggled with broken or shared headphones, making it difficult to focus during digital learning sessions. Now, with their own working headphones, they are able to fully engage with educational programs without distractions. The calm, focused environment you've helped create allows each child to learn at their own pace.
