We use the tissues, Clorox wipes, and hand sanitizer throughout the day, especially after sneezes, before snack time, and whenever little hands need a quick clean. These supplies help us keep our classroom clean and reduce the spread of germs, which is especially important for young learners who are still learning healthy habits.\r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the new supplies, they were excited and eager to help. They love being \"germ fighters\" and take pride in cleaning their tables and remembering to sanitize their hands. This project has also given us the opportunity to talk about staying healthy, washing hands, and taking care of ourselves and our classmates. Because of your generosity, students are missing fewer days due to illness and can focus on learning, playing, and growing together.","fullyFundedDate":1767216415734,"projectUrl":"project/clean-classroom-healthy-students/9718739/","projectTitle":"Clean Classroom, Healthy Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Farias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10040690_orig.jpg?crop=1411,1411,x28,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755190470663","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10040690"},{"teacherId":3284521,"projectId":9980533,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving our class a new whiteboard.

They have already changed the way my fifth graders learn. Students can try a math strategy, erase, and try again without fear of messing up a paper. During ELA, they draft sentences, practice new vocabulary, and revise quickly while I give fast feedback. Because many of my students are learning English, the tablets make it easier to take risks and share ideas right away. We use them for warm ups, exit tickets, partner talk, and small group practice. They also support social emotional learning by making mistakes feel normal and fixable. Plus, we are saving a ton of paper. Thank you for making this possible!
