For children in military families, life is often a series of 'hellos' and 'goodbyes.' Your donation has provided more than just school supplies; you have provided a sense of permanence and belonging. Seeing their faces light up as they realized these tools were \"theirs\" to keep and use in our classroom was a moment I won't forget. You've helped me turn this classroom into a true 'anchor' for them. \r\nThank you for investing in the future of my kindergarten students! Your support has equipped our classroom with the essential tools we need to dive into literacy and math with confidence. Because of you, my students no longer have to worry about what they are missing—they can focus entirely on being curious, creative, and kind. We are already using the new materials to write our first stories and explore new numbers. You have made a tangible difference in their education and their happiness.

For kindergarteners, a box represents more than just supplies; it represents a gift from someone who cares about their success. In a life where toys and furniture are often packed away in crates, having high-quality tools that stay right where they belong provides a profound sense of security.\r\n\r\nHaving enough supplies meant that no child had to wait or feel \"left out,\" which is so important for building confidence in a new environment. Because of your generosity, my students don't have to worry about the \"stuff\"—they can focus entirely on the \"magic of learning\" and the joy of being a kid.\r\n\r\nThey are so proud of their new supplies, and we are already using them to build a strong foundation for a year of learning and growth. Thank you for being a hero for our classroom! Your donation of essential supplies has sparked so much joy and creativity in our kindergarteners. It means the world to these resilient children to know that someone like you is rooting for their success. Thank you for making our classroom a bright, consistent place to learn!

These chairs have transformed circle time for students who struggle to stay seated. Now every child can participate fully, feeling secure and included. We've seen increased engagement, confidence, and belonging. \r\nWhat touches my heart most is seeing how these chairs have fostered a sense of belonging. My students understand that everyone learns differently and needs different supports, and these chairs have reinforced that message. The other children in the class have embraced the chairs as a natural part of our classroom, celebrating when their friends are able to join us for the whole circle time. \r\nBeyond the academic benefits, I've noticed improvements in my students' confidence and self-regulation. Having a designated, comfortable space during circle time has reduced anxiety for some learners and given them the security they need to take risks, try new things, and express themselves. These are skills that will serve them well throughout their educational journey and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1759593819294,"projectUrl":"project/chairs-that-care-supporting-preschool-l/9781488/","projectTitle":"Chairs that Care: Supporting Preschool Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gaw","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9371027"},{"teacherId":9344130,"projectId":9156433,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donation to our classroom project. Your support has provided us with resources that are already making a big difference for my students and have brought so much excitement to our room.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the lamination sheets to create reusable worksheets and activities. This means the students can now practice key skills with dry-erase markers, write down their answers, and then simply wipe them away to try again. It's a fantastic way to reinforce concepts and give them multiple chances to master a topic. We also used a portion of the funds to get containers for our treasure chest, which holds all the awards they earn.\r\n\r\nThe students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw the new materials! They were so excited about the idea of being able to write and erase their answers, and they loved the new, organized system for the treasure chest. They now get to choose which color bin they want to pick their treasure from, which has made getting an award even more fun.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has not only given us these wonderful new tools but has also brought a renewed sense of joy and engagement to our classroom.
