We had to use the opposite side of used copying paper, and teachers and parents had to purchase paper for a two month period. We reached out to Donors Choose for help, and we got a response immediately. Thank you. The paper helped us get through this period, and we have some on reserve in case we run out again. We appreciate you seeing the importance of our need, and using your resources to help. This contribution made our jobs as teachers less stressful. It took one more burden off of our load.

We are trucking along in our STEM classroom and my goal of a hybrid classroom is stronger because of your support. Students have clear systems to keep their CER outlines available to them. As a means to combat AI in the classroom I have put more of an emphasis on outlining and their thought process. It has been so helpful to have them outline their work before writing. My hope is that it won't simply be a check against cheating but honestly teach them that their thinking matters the most, not just the end product. The goal is to help them not simply rush to produce a product. I think that is applicable when they will need to use AI in the future to support their job function. Thank you again for helping me to organize my classroom which helps students organize their thinking.","fullyFundedDate":1776732190132,"projectUrl":"project/organizing-essentials-for-our-stem-class/10188818/","projectTitle":"Organizing Essentials for our STEM Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Daley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9015419_orig.jpg?crop=1081,1081,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683227126940","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-daley-obryant"},{"teacherId":6685587,"projectId":10153147,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving my students an exciting classroom library. This year, one of my goals as a teacher is to provide my students with more choice in the classroom. While we continue to read and study texts as a whole class, students now have the opportunity to choose books to read independently throughout the year. It's important that my students are able to choose from books that encompass a wide range of voices and cultures. Some students are drawn to stories that remind them of their own, to voices that, in some way, represent their own backgrounds. Others, though, are drawn to stories that open new worlds for them, that help them learn about lives unlike their own. Because of your generosity, both of these options are now available to my students.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, an exciting classroom library helps inspire a love of reading in my students. Each time a student wanders over to my bookshelves at the end of class to peruse the books, to ask for a recommendation, or to show a book to a friend, I'm thankful for the donors that helped make these moments possible.","fullyFundedDate":1773868012564,"projectUrl":"project/books-books-books/10153147/","projectTitle":"Books!
