Thank you for believing in my students, supporting our classroom, and helping make our learning environment even more positive, motivating, and joyful. Your kindness truly makes a difference, and I cannot express enough how much it means to us.\r\nIn a 2nd grade classroom, students are learning so much more than reading, writing, and math. They are learning how to work through challenges, build confidence, solve problems, and treat others with kindness. They are learning how to manage big feelings, stay focused, and make good choices even when something is difficult. These are big goals for little learners, and every day they work hard to grow in all of these areas.\r\nThe Treasure Box you helped fund will be a special part of our classroom community. It will be used as a fun and meaningful way to celebrate positive behavior, hard work, responsibility, and personal growth. Whether a student is showing perseverance during a tough assignment, demonstrating kindness to a classmate, improving their focus, or meeting a personal goal, the Treasure Box will allow us to recognize those moments in a way that feels exciting and rewarding for them.\r\nFor many students, having something tangible to work toward can be a powerful motivator. Your donation is helping create a system that encourages students to make great choices, stay engaged, and take pride in their accomplishments. It also helps build a classroom culture where students feel seen and celebrated—not just for being \"perfect,\" but for trying their best and continuing to improve.\r\nThe items in our Treasure Box will be age-appropriate, fun, and varied so every student can find something they are excited about. Even more importantly, it will be a tool that helps students connect positive actions with positive outcomes, strengthening the habits that support both academic success and emotional growth. It will also help create a classroom environment where encouragement and positivity are at the center of everything we do.\r\nBecause of you, my students will experience the joy of being rewarded for their effort, their kindness, and their determination. You are helping us create memories and build confidence that will last far beyond this school year. Your support reminds us that there are people out there cheering for our students and believing in their potential.\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and for investing in my classroom. Your support is helping shape not only stronger students, but stronger future citizens. We are so grateful for you, and we cannot wait to put this Treasure Box to use in our classroom every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1766174225147,"projectUrl":"project/treasure-box-goodies/9953693/","projectTitle":"Treasure Box Goodies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gillespie (G)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6545196_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y756&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588815289505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-brookegillespie"},{"teacherId":1544941,"projectId":9428749,"letterContent":"My students and I are extremely thankful for your generous donations that made yet another project possible.
