The students have already made book bags for their take-me-home books. Having their own book bags that they decorated got them excited to take home their books to read.\r\n\r\nThe classroom door is decorated with the welcome signs, names of students, and positive messages. It's the first thing each child sees when they come to school. It makes our classroom a warm and inviting place to be.\r\n\r\nWe will continue to do lots and lots of integration with art, since the students love it and it helps foster creativity. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous donation!!!","fullyFundedDate":1748323104107,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-art/9152622/","projectTitle":"Learning Through ART!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Uyeda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3707521"},{"teacherId":8974624,"projectId":9158988,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom community. When the boxes of materials arrived, our students' faces lit up with excitement and joy. These materials have made a huge difference in our daily learning. Students practiced writing skills and math concepts using their kindergarten practice folders, were eager to play math games using our number charts, and motivated to complete tasks to earn prizes.\r\n\r\nWith the book binding tool, we created class books about the animals we learned about. This gave students a fun and meaningful way to develop their literacy and creativity. They were proud to read and share their book with others. Your support has sparked curiosity, encouraged hard work, and brought a new level of engagement to our classroom. We are truly grateful for your kindness and the positive impact you've made on our learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1741969160434,"projectUrl":"project/building-foundational-skills-at-school-a/9158988/","projectTitle":"Building Foundational Skills at School and Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Liu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8974624_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686124589644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8974624"},{"teacherId":7931226,"projectId":9154334,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project! Since we've received the supplies, the students have shown so much excitement about learning. The batteries were used to power hand-held electronic devices that allow students to practice their math skills. It is a fun way for students to learn, instead of doing paper and pencil exercises. And because the devices are battery-operated, the students can easily move around the classroom with them and work together in pairs or groups. They are thrilled to be able to practice their newly-learned multiplication facts this way!\r\n\r\nThe basic supplies of paper and a pencil sharpener are essentials in a classroom, and I couldn't teach without them. Although electronics are exciting, students still need to be able to demonstrate their knowledge using paper and pencils. We are constantly in need of sharpened pencils, and our new sharpener allows students to have their writing tool ready to go.\r\n\r\nFinally, the chair pads have been absolutely amazing! The level of noise in the classroom has decreased with the addition of these pads to the bottom of their chair legs. I can see how there is less distraction during transitions, which allows students to be more focused on their work. I'm sure the classrooms below us also greatly appreciate this too! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!","fullyFundedDate":1741808779097,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-learning-basic-supplies-for-the/9154334/","projectTitle":"Fueling Learning: Basic Supplies for the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shimomi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7931226"},{"teacherId":7931226,"projectId":8883527,"letterContent":"Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for your generous contributions to our classroom. Your donations have made a tangible and profound impact on the learning experience of our students, and I wanted to share some specific ways your support has made a difference.\r\nThanks to your donations of PE equipment and board games, we've been able to replace worn-out equipment and introduce exciting new activities. The new ball toss, tic tac toe, and connect 4 games have brought a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm to our classes. We also appreciate your donations of classroom supplies, like a pencil sharpener and flexible seating desks. With sharpened pencils, students can complete their work in a timely manner because they are focused on the task and not their dull writing tool. The new desks have allowed students to choose seating options that best suit their individual learning styles and needs. Our class was also able to do an amazing cultural craft with the art materials. We learned about dream catchers and their significance to Native American tribes.\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your partnership in our mission to promote health and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1729351311984,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-basics-materials-for-in-person-l/8883527/","projectTitle":"Back to Basics-Materials for In-Person Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shimomi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7931226"},{"teacherId":9752996,"projectId":8909804,"letterContent":"During free time and indoor recess, kids are able to play these games so they don't have to sit at their desks and do nothing. Especially during indoor recess, when I first started, I had no games at all. I was only able to let my students color or talk to each other. I felt bad that they were missing out on the fun parts of recess. \r\n\r\nMy students were very excited when they saw all the games. It was like opening Christmas presents. All the games came at different times so it was like Christmas for multiple days until all the games arrived.","fullyFundedDate":1730615747290,"projectUrl":"project/activities-for-the-kiddos/8909804/","projectTitle":"Activities for the Kiddos","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tayasu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9752996"},{"teacherId":3707521,"projectId":8878255,"letterContent":"Thank you for the STEM activities and lessons that the students are able to use to do hands-on, problem solving activities! \r\nWe have already set up stations for students. At each station, students are presented with different materials and different challenges for them to solve. Students were able to rotate to each station and solve these challenges through trial and error. Students were working individually, and in pairs or small groups. Through collaboration and communication, they were able to work together to be successful.","fullyFundedDate":1728960115960,"projectUrl":"project/spectacular-stem-students/8878255/","projectTitle":"Spectacular STEM Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Uyeda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3707521"},{"teacherId":9752996,"projectId":8791481,"letterContent":"My students and I are using every single thing that was purchased. Being a first year teacher, I was afraid that most of the supplies would come out of my own pocket. I will forever be grateful for organizations like this to help teachers fund the necessities for their class. My students love everything that I was able to get. I was able to give each student a eraser for dry erase markers when we do math problems on our desks. They love it because it can easily fit in their pencil boxes. \r\n\r\nEvery time a box got delivered to my class they would laugh because each time I would say that it felt like Christmas. Their eyes were so big each time I pulled out new supplies from the packages. It was like Christmas for them as well.","fullyFundedDate":1726641460014,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher/8791481/","projectTitle":"First Year Teacher!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tayasu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9752996"},{"teacherId":9806531,"projectId":8885933,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of my voice and speech therapy practice. Your generosity has made a tangible difference in the lives of my students, who are working hard to overcome a wide range of speech, language, and cognitive communication challenges. The resources you helped provide are already enhancing the quality of our therapy sessions and helping my students make meaningful progress.\r\n\r\nThe emotions photo cards have been especially effective for my students on the autism spectrum. Unlike other materials, these cards feature clear, focused images without distracting backgrounds, making it easier for my students to identify and understand different emotions. Seeing their confidence grow as they master these skills has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThe high-quality headphones have transformed how I assess and support my students with auditory processing disorders. By minimizing distractions, they allow for more accurate evaluations and focused engagement during interactive therapy activities. \r\n\r\nThe printer has been another game-changer. It enables me to create vibrant, customized materials that capture my students' attention and make therapy sessions more engaging. From colorful worksheets to visual aids, these materials bring lessons to life and keep my students motivated to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided tools that I didn't have access to before, and it is helping me practice at the top of my license with up-to-date, effective resources.
