From the moment the brown boxes arrived to our classrooms, my students were filled with curiosity. They were elated to see all of the cool materials we now have in our classrooms that they can use. The joy on their faces was priceless.\r\n\r\nThe students got to work on their projects. It was a joy watching them be inspired by the materials they could use, along with the excitement of designing and building their projects.\r\n\r\nOne project our class worked on was to design and build a house that could withstand the force of a large fan. It was to simulate the story of The Three Little Pigs, where they needed to build a house strong enough to keep the pigs safe. They had a blast working on this project, along with some smaller projects they were able to work on.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my classroom.

Your support provided our students with important supplies including portfolios, paper, glue, Sharpies, and people cutouts that have already made a meaningful impact on student learning and creativity.\r\n\r\nOur students used the portfolios to safely store and organize their work throughout the year, helping them take pride in their progress and growth. The paper has been essential for daily independent practice activities, allowing students to strengthen their skills and build confidence during classwork.\r\n\r\nThe Sharpies, glue, and people cutouts were especially exciting for our students during our \"All About Me\" project. Students used these materials to creatively express their personalities, interests, families, and goals. This project helped students build classroom community, practice communication skills, and celebrate what makes each person unique. They were so proud to share their finished projects with classmates and families.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create engaging, hands-on learning experiences that our students truly enjoy.

Students created artwork of Abraham Lincoln using the Picasso style art. It has been truly special to watch them light up with excitement as they paint, draw, and create. These moments not only nurture their artistic skills but also build confidence, encourage problem-solving, and inspire a lifelong love of learning.\r\n\r\nYour contribution goes far beyond supplies—it brings opportunities, inspiration, and happiness to every child who picks up a paintbrush or markers.

We are using these resources every single day. Students now have their own paper to organize their thinking, draft ideas, and show their work without worrying about running out. The dry erase pens have been especially impactful during lessons—students use them on whiteboards to solve problems, brainstorm ideas, and explain their thinking in real time. One memorable moment was during a math lesson when students eagerly held up their boards, proud to show their answers and talk through how they got there.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the fresh paper and brand-new dry erase pens, their reaction was pure excitement. They couldn't wait to use them and were amazed that they each had access to tools that made learning feel more interactive and fun. Several students commented on how much easier it was to fix mistakes with dry erase pens and try again, which has helped create a classroom culture where learning from mistakes feels safe and encouraged.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these materials will continue to support our current lessons as students work through problem-solving activities, small-group discussions, and written reflections. The paper allows them to move from rough ideas to polished work, while the dry erase pens give them the confidence to take risks and share their thinking. Because of you, students are more engaged, more confident, and more willing to participate every day. Your support truly put learning tools directly into their hands, and that impact is felt in every lesson.","fullyFundedDate":1759198415293,"projectUrl":"project/paper-pens-and-possibility-building-a/9772805/","projectTitle":"Paper, Pens, and Possibility: Building a Foundation for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shimomi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7931226"},{"teacherId":3707521,"projectId":9775769,"letterContent":"Art supplies and writing tools have made a big difference in my second grade classroom by helping students express their creativity and build confidence in their work.

These changes give students movement options, quieter seating, and a cozy place to regroup.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials they were excited to try them and quickly found seats that helped them focus. The room is calmer during transitions and more students are choosing seating that fits their needs.\r\n\r\nNext steps: we will continue using these seating options during lessons and centers, and we'll encourage students to select the spot that helps them learn best.
