The supplies from this project helped us have a successful celebration for all the hard work the students have been doing all year reaching their goals. We were worried because it rained all day the day before the event and the weather called for more rain and possible snow for the day of the event. Doing egg hunts can be done in the gym, but they are not as fun. It was not raining on the day of the event, however, the ground was very soggy and the grass was wet. The sky was overcast and a cold wind was blowing. We were going to do it in the gym.....\r\n\r\nI am not kidding, at 12:30, 30 minutes before the event, the sun came out and the wind stopped! We were able to be outside. The kids had a blast and were so excited that they all were able to get a horse cup as well as all the other prizes.\r\n\r\nThe student council students (three 5th graders and one 4th grader) did an amazing job being leaders. They planned the event, and filled the eggs and prize bags. After hiding the eggs, they were in charge of getting the classes, explaining the rules and handing out the prizes.\r\n\r\nThank you again for being so generous and supportive to our students!","fullyFundedDate":1772331664827,"projectUrl":"project/egg-ceptional-scholars-celebration/10060647/","projectTitle":"Egg-ceptional Scholars' Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Proctor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2529459_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483025808392","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/susann-proctor"},{"teacherId":9285958,"projectId":10032748,"letterContent":"Hooray for new books! New books always bring so much excitement, and these have definitely done so, too! Since it was sponsored in conjunction with Mo Willems, we had lessons with Elephant and Piggie and the kids thought it was so cool that the author of those books gave us new books. \r\nThe first graders particularly were excited for the Fly Guy books. Their teachers uses those books in class on a regular basis, so being able to check out more of those from the library has been a real treat. \r\nWe are truly so grateful for the support and the new books in our library!","fullyFundedDate":1769177497660,"projectUrl":"project/shelf-care/10032748/","projectTitle":"Shelf Care","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachael","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9285958"},{"teacherId":9285958,"projectId":9402917,"letterContent":"This project has been so fun, both for me and for the kids! My main goal with this project has been to show the wide variety of ways to enjoy reading, and I do feel this has done that. The e-readers have introduced the younger kids especially to audiobooks, and that has been a treat for them. After story time, I'll let either just sit in one of our cozy corners with these (thanks again to Donors Choose!) or they'll even listen to them while they do a craft or project. As a fan of audiobooks myself because of the way I can enjoy reading while getting work done, this has been wonderful to see. \r\n\r\nThe mysteries have been a fun group brainstorming warm up that I use in my writing classes. The students enjoy taking the information from the story to try to solve the mystery before finishing and seeing if they got it right. It's been a great way to reinforce skills like recognizing text evidence, inferencing, etc. \r\n\r\nSo, thank you for providing fun ways to read and learn!","fullyFundedDate":1761830800075,"projectUrl":"project/having-fun-isnt-hard-when-youve-got-a/9402917/","projectTitle":"Having Fun Isn't Hard When You've Got a Library Card!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachael","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9285958"},{"teacherId":2529459,"projectId":9927285,"letterContent":"The Little Spot of... books donated to our classroom have made a powerful impact on my students' social-emotional learning. Through these engaging stories, students are learning how to identify, understand, and express their emotions in healthy ways. The books have sparked meaningful conversations, helped students build empathy, and provided tools they can use to manage their feelings both in and out of the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe stories give our students language for their emotions, help them recognize feelings in themselves and others, and support important social-emotional skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and communication. For many of our students, having concrete, visual stories like these is essential—and your kindness made that possible.\r\nYour donation has created a more supportive learning environment where students feel seen, understood, and ready to learn.

Using the materials, students explored traditional designs, patterns, and structures while also applying STEM skills such as measurement, geometry, problem-solving, and basic engineering. This approach helped students see clear connections between ancestral knowledge and modern STEM fields.\r\n\r\nAs students created projects inspired by cultural practices—such as weaving patterns, beadwork designs, or model structures—they learned how math, science, and engineering have always been part of Indigenous knowledge systems. The supplies made abstract STEM concepts more accessible and engaging, allowing students to experiment, test ideas, and learn from mistakes in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the donated supplies reinforced cultural pride and confidence. Students recognized that their heritage is rooted in innovation and scientific thinking, which increased their interest and participation in STEM activities. Overall, the supplies enriched learning by honoring cultural identity while building critical thinking, creativity, and STEM skills in a meaningful and memorable way.","fullyFundedDate":1763914464789,"projectUrl":"project/american-indian-cultural-stem/9890691/","projectTitle":"American Indian Cultural S.T.E.M.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Proctor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2529459_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483025808392","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/susann-proctor"},{"teacherId":2529459,"projectId":9714211,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for fully funding our project!

My students are already talking about which rewards they're saving up for, and it's wonderful to see them so engaged, proud, and determined.\r\n\r\nThe class store is also strengthening my students' goal setting and decision making skills.

I printed them in color and used the laminating pouches to make them more durable so they can be used again and again.\r\n\r\n The Kleenex, hand soap and Clorox Wipes may seem simple, but they make a huge difference in keeping our classroom clean, healthy, and comfortable for learning.\r\n\r\nYour support helps create a classroom where students feel cared for, excited to learn, and ready to do their best each day.

The kids and I have been having a wonderful time incorporating these activities into library time. \r\n\r\nAnother fantastic aspect of this project is I have been able to utilize some of these items for small interventions that I do.

They love how the magnetic pen brings up the little balls to the surface of the letters they trace. Then they are able to push the balls back down as they trace the letters with their fingers. The younger students also love the blocks as they practice using pinching fingers, and lacing the caterpillar through the holes.\r\n\r\nAll of the students love the Kinetic Sand and the other sensory bins with the colored rice and water beads.
