Your support means so much to us, and the items you provided—laminating sheets, command hooks, packing tape, dry erase markers, and more—are already making a big difference in our day-to-day learning environment.\r\n\r\nThanks to your contributions, we're able to create durable and long-lasting visual aids that help our students better understand and engage with the material. The laminating sheets, in particular, allow us to reuse learning tools over and over again, which is both practical and cost-effective.\r\n\r\nThe command hooks and packing tape have helped us keep our space neat and well-organized, allowing the children to easily access materials and fostering a calm, inviting classroom atmosphere. And the dry erase markers are a daily essential for both instruction and interactive activities with the students.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and generosity are truly felt in every corner of our classroom. Thank you again for supporting our young learners and helping to create a space where they can grow, explore, and thrive.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nDeAnna Roberts\r\nPreschool Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1748369626758,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-to-support-classroom-structure/9314681/","projectTitle":"Supplies to Support Classroom Structure","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Roberts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8276319_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1658369367264","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8276319"},{"teacherId":9937898,"projectId":9193425,"letterContent":"I can not thank you enough for donating to my classroom!

Story time has become one of the most anticipated parts of our day, and it's been inspiring to see how engaged the children are with these stories—laughing, asking questions, and even retelling them in their own words.\r\n\r\nYour contribution goes far beyond just books. These stories are helping us build a love for reading, encouraging empathy, imagination, and resilience.
