Your generosity has already made a noticeable impact, and I wanted to take a moment to share what a difference you've made for my students.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is stocked with the essentials many people don't realize we run out of so quickly — pencils, paper, erasers, paper towels, and other daily supplies. These may sound simple, but in a middle school classroom, they are truly the backbone of learning. Having these materials readily available has removed the stress and embarrassment for students who don't always have what they need. Now, instead of worrying about supplies, every student can focus on participating, writing, thinking, and learning.\r\n\r\nI've already seen an increase in student confidence and engagement. Students are eager to jump into activities because they know they are fully equipped. The basic supplies you funded have created a calm, productive learning environment where all students feel prepared and included — and that is priceless.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the work we are doing every day. Your generosity didn't just fill our supply cabinet — it filled our classroom with opportunity, dignity, and excitement for learning. We are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759265420568,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-basics-for-a-bright-start/9434455/","projectTitle":"Classroom Basics for a Bright Start","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brubaker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9720285_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725324728786","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9720285"},{"teacherId":9720285,"projectId":9249683,"letterContent":"The binders have been an incredible tool for helping my students stay organized and take ownership of their learning. Each binder serves as a personal hub where students can keep all of their materials in one place, including their journals, notes, and class handouts. Having a designated space for everything means fewer lost papers and missing assignments, which is a common challenge in middle school.\r\n\r\nThe binders also include a pencil pouch with basic supplies, ensuring that students are always prepared for class—even if they aren't able to bring materials from home. This consistency allows us to spend more time learning and less time tracking down missing items.\r\n\r\nBy keeping everything in one organized spot, my students are able to build habits that will help them not just in English class, but across all subjects. These binders give my students the tools to stay focused, responsible, and confident in their work.","fullyFundedDate":1746645290302,"projectUrl":"project/better-learning-one-binder-at-a-time/9249683/","projectTitle":"Better Learning, One Binder at a Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brubaker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9720285_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725324728786","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9720285"},{"teacherId":9720285,"projectId":8929805,"letterContent":"This year, my classroom is bursting with readers! More than ever, my students are devouring books, eagerly requesting new titles, and sharing their excitement with their classmates. Thanks to your generosity, they now have access to books they genuinely want to read—stories that ignite their curiosity, deepen their thinking, and strengthen their love for reading.\r\n\r\nThese books do more than just fill our shelves; they fuel discussions about character development, themes, and writing techniques. They challenge my students to think critically, infer meaning, and connect literature to their own lives. Whether it's a thrilling mystery, a thought-provoking historical fiction novel, or a fantasy adventure, each book brings new opportunities for growth and engagement.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom isn't just a quiet, solitary activity. It's a shared experience. Students excitedly recommend books to one another, jot down reflections in their reading journals, and engage in lively discussions about plot twists and character decisions. They ask thoughtful questions, make predictions, and even challenge each other's interpretations.\r\n\r\nI have students who, at the start of the year, claimed they weren't readers—but now, they're eagerly finishing one book and reaching for the next. One student, who had never finished a book on his own before, proudly told me he stayed up late to finish a novel in one sitting. Another keeps a running list of books she wants to read next, inspired by the stories she's discovered on our shelves.\r\n\r\nYour donations aren't just giving my students books—they're giving them a lifelong love of reading.
