Although I was unable to get some of the original items I requested due to supply issues, I was able to get replacement items that will still make an impact on my classroom and students. The pencils, pens, highlighters, post-it notes, and glue sticks will allow my English 3 and AP Lit students to be meaningfully engaged in reading and responding to literature. \r\n\r\nNo matter their background, resources, or ability- all students will be able to participate in making their thinking visible with these resources. Having them available for students to use at their table groups and at the supply station ensure that no student will have to be afraid to admit they don't have supplies of their own. Everyone can access the strategies equally. The students respect the items and take care to use them appropriately- they appreciate the genorosity of the donors to help them be successful! we use these items daily to journal, read and annotate, respond to texts, and make sense of notes in our interactive notebooks. Students are organized, their brains are using psychological principles to learn and remember, and they feel a sense of belonging. \r\n\r\nBecause of these materials, I don't have to worry about students not engaging with our texts and strategies. The students learn more when they don't have to worry about not having a pencil. Their brains benefit from color coding, interactive annotations, using postit notes to discuss their ideas in a quick write, and having tangible evidence to make their thinking visible. Donors like the Bezos Family Foundation make supplies one less worry I have a teacher, and one less thing for me to spend my own resources on. I willingly buy things for my classroom to make it comfortable and inviting. This support helps me use my resources in a wider impact!","fullyFundedDate":1781723106013,"projectUrl":"project/clean-comfortable-and-inclusive-classro/10259462/","projectTitle":"Clean, Comfortable and Inclusive Classroom to Change Lives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Limoges","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10460749_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773195352407","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10460749"},{"teacherId":10445227,"projectId":10126866,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of snacks and classroom supplies for our students. Your kindness and support made a meaningful difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe snacks were especially appreciated during ISASP testing. They helped our students stay energized, focused, and encouraged as they worked hard on their assessments.\r\n\r\nThe classroom supplies were also put to great use during our World War II project. Students were able to use the materials to enhance their learning, be creative, and bring what they were studying to life.

My students have diverse academic, social, and sensory needs, so having a variety of resources available allows me to adapt instruction and create an environment where students can engage with content in ways that work best for them.\r\n\r\nI see these materials being used every day in my classroom. A student may use a highlighter to identify the most important information in a reading assignment, a calculator to work through a math problem, or markers and crayons to create a visual representation of something we are learning. These simple materials often make a significant difference in how my students engage with the content. I have found that when students can physically interact with the material, they are more willing to participate and are often better able to demonstrate what they know. The laminated resources will also allow me to create visual supports and activities that students can use repeatedly, giving them opportunities to practice skills and build confidence over time.","fullyFundedDate":1772470267502,"projectUrl":"project/student-materials-and-sensory-needs/10126120/","projectTitle":"Student Materials and Sensory Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Saia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10444900_orig.jpg?crop=578,578,x0,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772478316904","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10444900"},{"teacherId":10165622,"projectId":10119179,"letterContent":"Because of your generous donation, our Freshman House is now equipped with the supplies our students and teachers need to be successful. Teachers no longer have to worry about shortages or making do with limited resources—something as simple as access to basic materials like tape is no longer a barrier to instruction.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful additions has been the printer. We were able to convert it into a sublimation printer, which now allows us to create Freshman House merchandise in-house. This has been a powerful tool in building a sense of community and pride, helping students feel like they are part of something larger than themselves.\r\n\r\nYour support has also allowed us to provide essential items for students who may not otherwise have access to them. With an ample supply of pencils, deodorant, whiteboards, and other materials, students can focus on learning without the stress or stigma of not having what they need. This creates a more inclusive environment where every student feels supported and valued.","fullyFundedDate":1772157882510,"projectUrl":"project/fill-our-freshman-house/10119179/","projectTitle":"Fill Our Freshman House","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jaques","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10165622"},{"teacherId":9431139,"projectId":10057689,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding my Nurse Office Restock project.
