Students were so happy seeing the items that were funded. The supplies we received from the project helped students to organize their worksheets in the folder and folders must properly placed in the holders. It is impressive to see the progress in organizational skills of students. The snacks and candies increased their motivation to be recognized as Scientists of the Week.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your support and I am hoping for continuous progress in my students' learning skills.","fullyFundedDate":1758574961772,"projectUrl":"project/plan-to-succeed-and-organize-to-achieve/9424990/","projectTitle":"Plan to Succeed and Organize to Achieve 2.0","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. BUNDOC","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp601747_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y665&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755544455136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/601747"},{"teacherId":9699619,"projectId":9465049,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to my orchestra program!

This was my fourth time I have tried Donors Choose, and I have to say I am very impressed with the generosity for our students. So thank you for making this happen.\r\n\r\nAs the boxes from Amazon and other vendors were being delivered throughout last couple of days, they were delivered to my classroom while class was going on. The students were so excited that our classroom store was being stocked. And we were getting additional supplies. The expressions of happiness and excitement on their faces was great. The conversations they were having - I have to get some of those, when are you opening the store, how many Marley Bucks for this or that. The excitement was incredible.\r\n\r\nThese items are incentives for my students to do well in class. Whether it is following the school norms or doing well on an assignment. They always have opportunities to earn Marley Bucks, which they can use to get what they want from our classroom store.\r\n\r\nI plan to keep the store stocked for the school year so that students have something to look forward too each day they come to class. As each day they can earn Marley Bucks with me. I also accept Marley Bucks from their other core teachers giving them additional monies to participate.\r\n\r\nAgain - Thank you and I hope you will support my class and myself again in the future as I will be back to continue this classroom store and supporting our (my) students.
