Having access to everything they need has made such a positive difference in the classroom. Now, instead of worrying about whether they have the right materials, students can focus on learning and doing their best work. With their new fun erasers and colorful markers, they are more engaged and excited to participate, especially during UFLI lessons. The joy and confidence these supplies bring are truly inspiring. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for everything you have done to support our classroom and our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1753882407252,"projectUrl":"project/the-supply-squad-needs-you/9388155/","projectTitle":"The Supply Squad Needs You!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6868928"},{"teacherId":9380582,"projectId":9524855,"letterContent":"The morning that my students walked into my classroom and saw that the wobbly stools had been delivered, they were filled with so much joy and excitement. So many of my students use them during breaks, they also use them at the back table during small group time. They sit on them correctly. They do not spin or stand on them. They promised to keep them nice and in good shape so that next year I can take them with me for the new group of second graders. \r\n\r\nThe expo markers have been great during the use of UFLI and working at the back table. The markers that were provided by the school have already dried out and when students noticed we have EXPO markers they were super excited and began to feel relieved that their markers would get dried out so quickly. \r\n\r\nThe snacks have been a great incentive while working with me at the back table or answering really hard questions during math lessons and UFLI Lessons. The cheezits have been great for two of my students that had the stomach bug. They sat well on their belly until they were picked up to go home.
