These same students were able to experience glow day in 2nd grade as well, but to experience it as a third grader was completely different to them. They were extremely engaged and involved in the classroom transformation and I wouldn't have been able to do that without DonorsChoose.

The engaging nature of the centers has helped reduce off-task behavior and has created a focused, productive learning environment. \r\n\r\nThe Flip and Solve activity has been especially beneficial for helping students understand addition and subtraction. This activity allows students to actively engage with numbers by flipping cards or manipulatives and solving problems hands-on.\r\n\r\n Most importantly, they have made a positive difference in my students' learning and growth.\r\nYou have definitely provided high-quality support in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1761151772965,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-math-centers-make-independent-l/9446620/","projectTitle":"Engaging Math Centers Make Independent Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nieves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4090470_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719373051044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-nieves-gradek"},{"teacherId":4090470,"projectId":9462781,"letterContent":"I would like to express how grateful I am for your generous donation towards planner binders for my class.

Your donation has helped me as well. My morning routine of stamping smiley faces and checking for parent notes runs more quickly and smoothly, which in turn adds more learning time to our day.

Some students have already used the activitpies and I have noticed a difference in how quickly they are able to regulate their feelings.\r\n\r\nWhen students use the calming corner, they are taking charge of their feelings. This helps their brain and body calm down so they can make good choices, focus better, and be ready to learn. Learning how to regulate their emotions is a powerful skill that will help them in school and in life.","fullyFundedDate":1752110971874,"projectUrl":"project/students-mental-health-does-matter/9446483/","projectTitle":"Students' Mental Health Does Matter!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nieves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4090470_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719373051044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-nieves-gradek"},{"teacherId":7358570,"projectId":9375825,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for blessing my classroom with many reading and literacy centers. With these, my students have been able to achieve great comprehension, high frequency word and inferencing practice. Because of you, my students now have access to engaging and well-organized reading centers that are transforming the way they learn and grow as readers every single day.\r\n\r\nThe materials you helped fund — including privacy folders, vocabulary word games, inferencing flash cards, laminating sheets for their reading centers— have brought new energy and structure to our literacy block. My students are more excited than ever to dive into books and games that match their reading levels and interests. Furthermore they're building confidence as they practice reading in small groups and independently. Additionally, their privacy folders allow them to take their tests and quizzes peacefully without any distractions. \r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful changes I've seen is how these centers are fostering independence and collaboration. Students are not just reading — they're discussing, questioning, predicting, and supporting each other. It's incredible to watch them grow not only as readers but as thinkers and teammates.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, these resources provide opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. Your kindness has made a direct and meaningful impact on their education, and for that, I am truly grateful.\r\n\r\nAgain, on behalf of my second grade class.. we say thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1748344683966,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-benoits-reading-rockstars/9375825/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Benoit’s Reading Rockstars","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Benoit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7358570_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748306333983","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7358570"},{"teacherId":9866432,"projectId":9300428,"letterContent":"I have sat with my class and explained to them that we were spreading joy to students who do not get the same opportunity as them.
