The refresh at the beginning of the year helped my students get back into the swing of things! They use the name tags often as a reference to help them learn! They were so excited to come in and see that our classroom looked nice to start the new year! I feel that it helped them to be calmer and focus better in their work. Many of the fidgets and calming tools were a great help to them! They learned that when they start to feel big feelings, they can calm themselves!","fullyFundedDate":1740515444861,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-fresh-classroom/8991376/","projectTitle":"New Year, Fresh Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wheedleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9482742"},{"teacherId":9482742,"projectId":8951216,"letterContent":"My students were so shocked and amazed when I gave them their new items! I explained how although I was giving them the items, it was through the kindness of strangers that I was able to provide them! They were so amazed that people they didn't even know cared about them enough to send them things to help our classroom! They were so inspired by your generosity, we made little note cards with uplifting messages that they would place in various places in the community!

The students were extremely excited when I told them they were all getting brand new pencil pouches and headphones. They were especially excited about the headphones! They loved the bright colors and getting to choose which ones they wanted.\r\nThe pencil pouches will be used to replace the broken or lost ones they received at the beginning of the school year. This will help students keep better track of their pencils and coloring materials. The expectation is that these pencil pouches last them the rest of the year, along with all the materials they keep inside them!\r\n4th grade students in Maryland take the state test starting in April. Headphones must be used to listen to any videos or audios included on the test, but they can also be used as noise blockers to help keep students focused. This helps them do their best! Learning to be responsible is a big task in elementary school. I'm hoping that this second chance does the trick!","fullyFundedDate":1740512514843,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-headphones-are-broken/9090763/","projectTitle":"Help!

The students could not believe that they got their own mouse (for the classroom). \r\nWe teach technology skills but it is very difficult for students to right and left click using the mousepad on the laptops. It is much easier for them to do this using a mouse. Since our math program (and eventually MCAP) requires them to be able to drag and drop and right click onn certain things to access tools, it will help them a great deal by having these.","fullyFundedDate":1733407423380,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-attract-the-helpful-kind-of-mice/8950706/","projectTitle":"Help Us Attract the Helpful Kind of Mice!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wheedleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9482742"},{"teacherId":9482742,"projectId":8929440,"letterContent":"This group of students LOVE to write!

The snacks were very much appreciated but they were more ecited about the books, which surprised me for sure!\r\nBeing able to give student's books on their reading level helped them to be able to work on their own skills over the holdiay break. Each child was given a book along with a skill level card that told them what they needed to work on over the break. It helped to slow down any back slide that may have happened over the 10 day break.","fullyFundedDate":1733407425308,"projectUrl":"project/make-childrens-christmas-brighter/8967739/","projectTitle":"Make Children's Christmas Brighter!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wheedleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9482742"},{"teacherId":1862698,"projectId":8982629,"letterContent":"Every student in our building was able to chose 2-5 gifts for their loved ones this holiday season.
