Because of your generosity, every student will have access to dependable pencils and sharpeners, as well as colored pencils and gel pens to support note-taking, organization, and creative assignments. With these supplies readily available, students can focus on learning instead of worrying about what they don't have.\r\n\r\nYour kindness helps create a prepared, confident, and engaged classroom where all learners feel supported.

Because of your generosity, my students are able to bring their learning to life in meaningful and creative ways. Students are using the instant photo printer to create visual stories, classroom displays, and keepsake projects connected to our lessons. The sticky-back photos allow them to design interactive journals, posters, and collaborative murals that showcase important cultural symbols such as lanterns, dragons, red envelopes, and wishes for the new year. This hands-on experience has helped students connect learning to culture while building creativity, collaboration, and pride in their work. The excitement and engagement in the classroom have been incredible to witness. Even better, the portable nature of the printer allows it to be used across multiple activities and future celebrations, making it a long-lasting resource for many students to come.

When they first saw the heat press and supplies, their excitement was contagious—they immediately began brainstorming kind messages and who they wanted to help. One of our first projects was designing T-shirts with encouraging words, and students carefully discussed how their words might make someone feel. They also created handmade cards, thoughtfully writing notes for nursing home residents and veterans, which led to meaningful class conversations about gratitude and service. Students worked together to assemble snack packs, making sure each one was prepared with care.\r\nThese resources have helped turn kindness into action. My second graders are learning that even small acts can make a big difference. Next, students will continue designing new items, reflecting on who they can help next, and writing about how their actions impact others. This project has built empathy, teamwork, and pride in giving back to our school and community.","fullyFundedDate":1765992373998,"projectUrl":"project/community-service/9946305/","projectTitle":"Community Service","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jamie Robinett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8261266_orig.jpg?crop=1602,1602,x493,y796&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1641318405305","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jamierobinett"},{"teacherId":7349606,"projectId":9303319,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project.

When students are physically comfortable, they are better able to focus, collaborate, and engage with our academic goals.\r\nThe LED strip lights will also help transform our classroom into a more welcoming and inviting environment. By softening the traditional fluorescent lighting, students will feel more relaxed and excited to enter our sixth grade space each day.

Through shared game play, students were given a unique opportunity to interact with older adults in a relaxed, joyful setting, helping bridge the generational gap in a natural and authentic way.\r\n\r\nAs students sat side by side with nursing home residents, they practiced communication skills, patience, and cooperation. Many students learned how to explain rules clearly, take turns respectfully, and adapt games to meet the needs of their partners. These interactions encouraged students to see beyond age differences and recognize common interests, laughter, and the simple joy of spending time together. For many students, this was their first meaningful interaction with seniors outside of their own families, broadening their perspective and understanding of the aging community.\r\n\r\nThe experience also helped students develop empathy and social awareness. They became more mindful of how their actions and words affect others and showed genuine kindness and care toward the residents. Students often expressed pride in being able to bring happiness to someone during the holidays, reinforcing the idea that small acts of generosity can have a powerful impact.\r\n\r\nOverall, the donated board games served as more than just entertainment—they became tools for connection. The experience strengthened students' social-emotional skills, promoted respect for older generations, and highlighted the importance of community service. By engaging in meaningful play with nursing home residents, students gained a deeper appreciation for relationships across generations and learned the value of giving their time, attention, and compassion during the holiday season.","fullyFundedDate":1761324587668,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-generations-holiday-board-game/9843964/","projectTitle":"Bridging Generations: Holiday Board Game Fun for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nichols","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8261355_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682990400703","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8261355"},{"teacherId":8261355,"projectId":9717904,"letterContent":"When the students first saw the materials, their faces immediately lit up with excitement.
