The bilingual sense-making posters have already become a go-to resource during discussions, giving students the confidence to share their thoughts. The carpet circle seats have been a big hit—our youngest learners feel more at home in them, while older students enjoy the flexible seating options. The mini bean bags have been a fun and effective way to strengthen rhythm skills, while the larger bean bag chair has transformed our classroom environment. It now serves as a calm, sensory-friendly space where students, especially those with special needs, can reset and refocus, helping minimize disruptive behaviors and support whole-group learning.\r\n\r\nThe xylophones are one of the biggest joys in the room—students can't wait to play them during lessons (and sometimes even sneak in a few notes outside of them!). They're also excited to use the flashcards for group games and practice. Having a reliable printer has made an incredible difference, ensuring I can provide materials and resources promptly when students need them. Your generosity has brought comfort, creativity, and joy into our classroom, and my students feel that impact every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757292713654,"projectUrl":"project/making-music-come-alive-for-all-learners/9637320/","projectTitle":"Making Music Come Alive for All Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. T","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10212762"},{"teacherId":8804316,"projectId":9282573,"letterContent":"The generous supplies we received from you have made a huge impact on our 5th grade classroom. With new pencils, mini notebooks, and half journals, my students are better equipped to express their thoughts and creativity through daily writing activities. The colored paper and extra materials have added excitement and variety to our projects, making lessons more engaging and hands-on. These resources help ensure that every student has what they need to learn and participate fully, without worrying about missing supplies.

For many students, especially those navigating change—whether transitioning to a new grade level, school, or program—having tangible tools like folders to organize important information and tote bags to carry materials can ease anxiety and build a sense of readiness and pride.\r\n\r\nThese items may seem simple, but to a student, they represent much more than school supplies. They are symbols of support, encouragement, and the reminder that someone believes in their potential. We've seen firsthand how receiving these materials creates a moment of excitement and empowerment for students during what can otherwise be a stressful time.","fullyFundedDate":1733667683441,"projectUrl":"project/prepared-organized-in-2025/8981030/","projectTitle":"Prepared & Organized in 2025","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7487722_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y146&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647097534246","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7487722"},{"teacherId":7203126,"projectId":8679557,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to improving my classroom and instruction.
