Because of you, our classroom has been transformed in ways that truly impact student learning every single day. When the deliveries arrived, my students could hardly contain their excitement—box after box after box filled with materials they knew were meant just for them. Seeing their faces light up as they realized these tools were going to be used in their own classroom was priceless. The markers, whiteboards, and multiplication charts have already become an essential part of our daily routine, and the sense of ownership and pride my students feel when using them has made a noticeable difference in their motivation and engagement.\r\n\r\nAcademically, your donations have helped build confidence and deepen understanding, especially during small group instruction. The whiteboards and markers allow students to actively explain their thinking, show their work, and correct mistakes in real time without fear. This has encouraged more students to participate, take risks, and express their understanding out loud. I am seeing students who were once hesitant now confidently solving problems and explaining their strategies to peers. The multiplication charts have been especially helpful in strengthening fact fluency, giving students a visual support that empowers them to work independently and accurately. These tools have created a collaborative learning environment where students feel supported and successful.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has also supported our classroom in ways beyond academics. With the Clorox wipes provided, students are taking responsibility for keeping their learning space clean and safe by wiping down materials each day. This routine has helped reinforce healthy habits while ensuring we can continue learning in a safe environment. In addition, the snacks you donated have brought so much joy to our classroom community. Students are highly motivated and enthusiastic during classroom games and activities, knowing they can earn a snack for their hard work and teamwork. The friendly competition has been incredible to watch, and the excitement is contagious. The clear favorites among the students have been the Takis and Oreo cookies—those treats never fail to bring big smiles! Thank you again for believing in my students and investing in their success. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1756985918958,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-basics/9551522/","projectTitle":"Back to School Basics!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McIntyre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9693979_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x221,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724206763085","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9693979"},{"teacherId":2209115,"projectId":9791125,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing paper towels and gloves for our cafeteria.
