The binders have transformed the way students collect and track their work. We launched our first \"Writing Portfolio Day\" last week, and students were so proud to slide their drafts, reflections, and final pieces into their new binders. For many of them, it was the first time they could clearly see their growth as writers laid out in one place. Having a dedicated binder for each student has also made our writing conferences smoother and more meaningful because all their work is now collected and easy to access.\r\nThe gel pens quickly became a class favorite. Students use them for editing, revising, and annotating text, and the excitement they showed when they opened the box was unforgettable. One student said, \"Now editing feels official!\" These pens have helped students take more ownership of their writing, and they are genuinely more motivated to revise their work because the tools feel special and purposeful.\r\nThe wall decals have added beauty and calm to our learning space, turning a plain section of the hall or wall into a bright, inviting space where students enjoy reading and writing.","fullyFundedDate":1755872801617,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-our-space-to-life-with-organiza/9571340/","projectTitle":"Bringing Our Space to Life with Organization, Creativity, and Comfort","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Lee-Angry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7209678_orig.jpg?crop=688,688,x19,y31&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1607738706803","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sleeangry"},{"teacherId":3729807,"projectId":9715744,"letterContent":"Your contribution to our Project Based Learning experience has been so impactful. Students have learned so much about pollution and their impact on the natural resources in their environment. We have tested water for nitrates and phosphates to measure human impact on water sources in our community. We've spent time outside staring into the sky so they can simply slow down to look for clear skies and smell the air for unwanted or harmful fumes. My students have sorted through trash to decide how we can reduce our impact in order to recycle our compost, rather than just throwing everything away. This experience, with your help has been invaluable! I'm so grateful, and they are too!

The STEM Stories Paperback Library has already become a favorite resource. Students can't wait to check out books that blend storytelling with science, technology, engineering, and math. During our first \"STEM Story Spotlight,\" students gathered on the carpet to listen to a read-aloud and immediately began discussing the characters' challenges and the science behind the solutions. Many students who once hesitated to choose nonfiction are now confidently browsing the STEM basket with excitement and curiosity.\r\nThe giant jungle tree decals completely changed the atmosphere of our reading corner. When students walked in and saw the tall, colorful tree stretching across the wall, the room filled with gasps and cheers. Several students said it \"felt like a real reading jungle,\" and many asked if they could sit under the tree during independent reading time. The Reading Corner decals helped define the area even more, making it clear that this is a special place dedicated to books, imagination, and quiet exploration. Students now gravitate toward the space naturally, and their engagement during reading time has noticeably increased.","fullyFundedDate":1758202730853,"projectUrl":"project/growing-readers-in-our-stem-reading-g/9665754/","projectTitle":"Growing Readers in Our S.T.E.M Reading Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Lee-Angry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7209678_orig.jpg?crop=688,688,x19,y31&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1607738706803","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sleeangry"},{"teacherId":10174059,"projectId":9585308,"letterContent":"The colored printer has been such an exciting addition to our classroom. Having access to color printing allows me to create engaging visuals, anchor charts, and hands-on activities that capture my students' attention in ways black-and-white copies simply couldn't. Many of my students are visual learners, so seeing bright colors on charts, reading passages, or learning games helps them stay more focused and motivated. It also allows me to create individualized materials that support different learning levels, making lessons more accessible and meaningful for all.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is being able to see their own work printed in color. When they complete projects, assignments, or even classroom jobs, printing them in color gives their work a polished and professional look that they are so proud of. The rewards and treats have also added to their excitement—students are motivated to work hard, follow expectations, and do their best, knowing they can earn special incentives. This combination of learning tools and positive reinforcement has created an encouraging and joyful classroom environment.\r\n\r\nI've especially noticed that some of my quieter students, who don't always speak up, have really responded to the new printer. When their artwork, writing, or projects are printed in color and displayed, they beam with pride and feel more confident in sharing with the class. It has given them a voice and a way to shine. This technology has truly helped bring out the best in my students by making learning more engaging, personalized, and rewarding.","fullyFundedDate":1758216552046,"projectUrl":"project/motivating-excellence/9585308/","projectTitle":"Motivating Excellence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10174059"},{"teacherId":7209678,"projectId":9407661,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our Ruby Bridges Social Justice project was a powerful success.

Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\nOur students have jumped right into using the LEGO Robotics kits as part of our STEAM challenges. One of the first projects we did was a coding and engineering task where students designed and programmed a robot to move through a simple obstacle course. They worked in teams to brainstorm, test, and adjust their designs—truly practicing the engineering design process. The best part was seeing them cheer each other on as their robots finally made it across the finish line after several tries!\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nTheir faces lit up the moment the boxes arrived. Many of them had only seen LEGO Robotics in videos, so having the kits right in front of them felt like a dream come true. There were shouts of \"Wow!\" and \"I can't wait to build something!\" One student said, \"I feel like a real engineer now!\" It was pure excitement and curiosity.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?\r\nOur next steps are to take the skills they've learned with movement and coding and apply them to real-world problem-solving challenges. Students will be designing robots that can simulate tasks such as moving supplies, picking up objects, or navigating through a model of our school. This connects directly to our work in science and engineering standards while encouraging collaboration and creativity. We're also planning to showcase their projects during our school's STEAM Night so families and the community can see the incredible work donors like you made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1733260928398,"projectUrl":"project/building-tomorrows-innovators-lego-spi/8943488/","projectTitle":"Building Tomorrow's Innovators: LEGO Spike for Robotics Exploration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ross","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9116132_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y77&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690331587633","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mross1908"},{"teacherId":7209678,"projectId":9463100,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom now has a warm, inviting space that instantly draws students in.
