Project\" provided essentials that my multilingual students and I greatly benefited from having this school year. The supplies arrived at the beginning of the 2nd quarter of our school year, and our 2nd-quarter bulletin boards were already prepared by the time of arrival. However, the background paper, border, and colorful letters will be used for our 3rd quarter bulletin board displays.\r\n\r\nAll 40-students have been happy to receive the stickers as rewards. They have been so thrilled with the familiar scratch-and-sniff scented stickers after completing their writing practice activities and final copy papers. In addition, the larger stickers with the motivational phrases are also well received by the students. They have said, \"There are so many cute stickers.\" They have a hard time picking their favorite sticker reward.\r\n\r\nWe are thankful for the pencil sharpener because we do a lot of writing. Students are always thrilled by how quickly they can sharpen their pencils now. Previously, they had to wait until the next day for a sharpened pencil because I was borrowing a pencil sharpener from a colleague.\r\n\r\nMany thanks for your kindness and generosity! We appreciate all of you for your contributions.","fullyFundedDate":1761313248663,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-go-preparing-for-success/9589786/","projectTitle":"Ready. Set. Go!

It has been an honor and a pleasure to continue working with this group of students for a third year. By providing access to these materials, I can push my students beyond the standard curriculum and offer a deeper, more interactive learning experience. I will be able to help students develop confidence, creativity, and collaboration in fun and meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nYour support directly impacts our learners and empowers them to explore, experiment, and discover with confidence. I am deeply grateful for your investment in their growth and for believing in the importance of meaningful STEM education.\r\n\r\nThe students have already had a wonderful time exploring and learning. With the LEGO bricks, they practice engineering design by brainstorming, building, testing, and improving their creations, often working together to solve STEM challenges. With logic puzzles, students strengthen their reasoning skills through pattern recognition, sequencing, and strategic thinking. Through our additional STEM activities, they continue developing teamwork, communication, creativity, and resilience.\r\nThese are just a few examples of how your contributions have positively impacted engagement and learning in our science curriculum. Once again, thank you sincerely for your continued support of my 2nd-grade math and science classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755731222501,"projectUrl":"project/stem-adventures-learning-playing-and/9482377/","projectTitle":"STEM Adventures: Learning, Playing, and Exploring in Second Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. T.

They couldn't wait to dive in and start their book club adventures.\r\nThese books have been invaluable in helping my students improve their comprehension while providing reading material that matches their instructional level. My students were in need of engaging, captivating books, and your donations have provided just that, enabling them to continue excelling in their reading journey.\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students have been able to discover new vocabulary words. Just the other day, they excitedly shared how they encountered words like \"mayhem,\" \"chaos,\" and \"negotiate\" in the story they were reading. With these books, I was able to introduce these terms and guide my students to explore their meanings through context.\r\nThe Dory Fantasmagory and Mia Mayhem series has become a particular favorite for different groups of students! My students are reading with great enthusiasm, eager to get to the next book in the series.\r\nBy supporting this project, you've helped my amazing second graders develop a lifelong love of reading and empowering them to reach new academic heights.
