My students and I have been using the new resources during art projects, literacy centers, math activities, and our seasonal classroom celebrations. These materials have helped create a warm, festive atmosphere that keeps students engaged and eager to learn each day.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments happened when we completed our first Fall-themed writing project. Students used the donated decorations and craft supplies to create their own pumpkin characters, and then wrote descriptive stories about them. Even students who usually struggle with writing were excited to participate because the materials made the activity hands-on and fun. One student proudly said, \"This is the best project we've ever done!\"\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the Fall and Halloween items, the room filled with gasps and excitement. They immediately rushed over to explore the decorations, crafts, and themed learning materials. Several students asked, \"Can we decorate today?\" and they couldn't wait to get started. The enthusiasm these materials sparked truly set the tone for a positive and joyful season.\r\n\r\nYour generosity allowed my students to experience Fall and Halloween in a meaningful, creative, and classroom-friendly way. These materials not only brightened our learning space but also supported academic activities tied to reading, writing, science, and math.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, we will continue using the donated resources throughout our seasonal units. Students will complete Fall-themed math centers, Halloween story writing, and hands-on craft projects that build fine motor skills and creativity. We will also be using the decorations and manipulatives during themed learning days planned for the upcoming weeks.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this season magical for my students. Your support has created memories, excitement, and learning opportunities they will remember long after the holidays pass.","fullyFundedDate":1758758723910,"projectUrl":"project/falling-into-fall/9700273/","projectTitle":"\"Falling Into Fall\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8070015_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631901922500","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8070015"},{"teacherId":8070015,"projectId":9700088,"letterContent":"The classroom materials and games donated through this project have already made a tremendous difference for my students. We have begun incorporating the new resources into our daily centers, small-group instruction, and hands-on learning activities. These materials allow students to practice essential skills—such as reading, math fluency, problem-solving, and teamwork—through interactive, engaging activities that feel more like play than traditional work.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments happened the first day we unpacked the items. As soon as the students walked in and saw the games and materials set up on the tables, their faces lit up. Several students gasped and excitedly asked, \"Are these for us?\" Others immediately gathered around and started discussing which activity they wanted to try first. One student who is typically hesitant to participate in group work was the first to volunteer for a new literacy game, and he stayed fully engaged for the entire rotation. These moments reminded me just how much access to the right tools can boost both confidence and motivation.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students the opportunity to learn through exploration, movement, and collaboration. The materials help them stay focused longer and allow me to differentiate instruction more effectively, ensuring that each child receives the support or challenge they need.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, we will continue using these resources to build more structured learning centers and expand our current project-based lessons. Students will be using the games to reinforce reading and math standards, practice communication skills, and participate in partner and group activities that strengthen social behaviors. We are also planning to incorporate the materials into upcoming thematic units, giving students even more chances to engage with hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has transformed our classroom in such a meaningful way. Thank you for helping create an environment where my students can learn, grow, and thrive every day.","fullyFundedDate":1758727937921,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-refresh/9700088/","projectTitle":"\"Classroom Refresh!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8070015_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631901922500","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8070015"},{"teacherId":8070015,"projectId":9700018,"letterContent":"The donated snacks have made an incredible difference in our classroom, and I am so grateful for your support. What may seem like a small contribution has had a tremendous impact on my students' focus, energy, and overall well-being throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the snacks arrived, the students were so excited. Several of them asked, \"Are these really for us?\" and you could see the relief and joy on their faces. Many of my students rely on classroom snacks to help them stay focused, especially during longer instructional blocks or on days when they may not have had breakfast. Having a consistent, reliable supply of snacks has helped prevent hunger from becoming a barrier to learning.\r\n\r\nOne moment that truly stood out was during a small-group reading activity. One of my students, who often struggles to stay engaged due to hunger and attention challenges, was able to participate fully after choosing a snack from the donated supply. It was amazing to see how such a simple act—providing something to eat—could help him feel ready to learn and confident in himself.\r\n\r\nThese snacks are being used daily to support students during morning work, intervention groups, and afternoon lessons when their energy tends to dip. Your donation ensures that every child has access to a small boost when they need it most, allowing them to stay focused, calm, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, your generosity will keep fueling our lessons, our growth, and our classroom community. Thank you for believing that meeting students' basic needs is essential to helping them thrive academically and emotionally. Your kindness truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757937262802,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time/9700018/","projectTitle":"Snack Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8070015_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631901922500","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8070015"},{"teacherId":10049998,"projectId":9434027,"letterContent":"This table has been the best, most frequently used item in our classroom.
