It created an environment of care and calm during a high-stakes time. The brief mental breaks and quick energy boosts offered by the snacks helped alleviate test anxiety and improve focus. The fun prizes and Pilot Erasable Pens acted as great motivators and a celebration of their hard work. Your gift told every student, in a tangible way, that they were supported, cared for, and that we believed they could succeed.

The new materials address both the large-scale and individual needs of our students. The Algebra Charts and Dry Erase Markers have turned our vertical boards into true collaborative workspaces, allowing students to show their team work and practice problem-solving in a public, low-stakes way. The new Heavy Duty Electric Three Hole Punch is a game-changer for classroom efficiency, making it easy for students to organize their math binder papers quickly, which in turn reduces frustration and keeps them focused. The Multiplication Chart Stickers on their desks serve as immediate reference tools.\r\n By funding these tools, 3Mgives has helped us build a structure for success that will benefit this generation of \"Algebra Architects\" and those who follow.

Thanks to your support, my students and I received the 3-Drawer File Cabinet, Plastic High Capacity Hanging File Folders, and the 100-pack of Letter Size File Folders in 10 Pastel Colors! Even though it took 3 hours to assemble the wooden like file cabinet before the start of this school year, it is working well. I thought I selected metal one.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this donation is already being felt. The new file cabinet has immediately solved a long-standing organization challenge. We now have a secure, efficient place to store important documents, curriculum materials, and student work. This means less time searching for materials and more time focusing on teaching and learning.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most exciting change is how these supplies are helping my students directly. The brightly colored hanging and manila file folders are a huge step up from the supplies we had. They are now being used to create personalized student portfolios, organize group projects, and manage individual learning packets. The different pastel colors don't just look nice—they serve as a fun, visual way for students to color-code and take ownership of their own work and classroom organization system.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just organizational tools; it has given us a calmer, more efficient, and more engaging learning environment.\r\nThank you once again for being a vital part of our classroom community and for investing in the success of my students. We are all incredibly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1746785391600,"projectUrl":"project/organize-to-optimize-streamlining-class/9097289/","projectTitle":"Organize to Optimize: Streamlining Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valluri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9243326"},{"teacherId":9243326,"projectId":9324249,"letterContent":"Your support for the Pages To Walls: Building Math Minds project has had a profound and lasting impact on our SEI 7th-grade math students. Your contribution moved beyond providing simple school supplies; it created an enriching environment where mathematics is viewed not as a challenge to be endured but as an exciting field to be explored.\r\nBy providing ten copies of To Ace Math in One Big Fat Notebook to our SEI students, you have empowered them with a valuable tool for independent summer learning. For many of these students, who are also mastering a new language, the prospect of tackling complex math concepts on their own can be intimidating. The enthusiastic reception of these books is a testament to their desire to learn and their appreciation for resources that make that learning possible. This gift extends the classroom into their homes, allowing them to build a stronger foundation at their own pace and ensuring they return in the fall with increased confidence and skills.\r\nMy students brought some of their friends from other class and asked if I have more copies to share, need some more please in my next project.","fullyFundedDate":1746785607469,"projectUrl":"project/pages-to-walls-building-math-minds/9324249/","projectTitle":"Pages To Walls: Building Math Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valluri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9243326"},{"teacherId":7640669,"projectId":8783835,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation that enabled my classroom to get important supplies and materials. My students were amazed to see the various packages arriving and couldn't wait to see what was in them, especially once they realized that the items were for them to use. \r\n\r\nThe day to day supplies such as Expo markers, dry erase erasers, and disinfecting wipes have enabled the students to make their math visible daily whether on a small dry erase board or on poster size boards. They are much more likely to try the math problems knowing that can easily erase work that isn't correct and start over again. These supplies are used on a daily basis so having a supply to draw upon has a huge impact. Just the other day, small groups of students were working together to solve Pythagorean theorem problems and using the markers to illustrate the problem and show the math needed to solve the question asked.\r\n\r\nThe set of classroom headphones has been such a great addition to our classroom. The students use them a couple of times a week whether while working on their online math program or taking a test with text to speech capability. Sadly, before your generous donation, the classroom only had a couple of pairs available and students wouldn't want to wear them as they felt conspicuous; now all students were them and none of them feel different. \r\n\r\nSome of the other supplies have made our classroom much brighter! The students can't wait to create new vocabulary cards on the bright cards, add the magnetic tape, and add it to our vocabulary wall. They have also enjoyed the larger post-it notes to not only solve problems but to then display them for gallery walks .\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous donation of the materials. They are used daily and have made an impact on the students knowing that donors like you are helping to make their learning easier.","fullyFundedDate":1735657712265,"projectUrl":"project/math-listening-seeing-practicing/8783835/","projectTitle":"Math - Listening, Seeing, Practicing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Senier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7640669"},{"teacherId":8917073,"projectId":8796160,"letterContent":"Through your generosity, I have been able to create a care closet in my classroom.

This cart allows students to go and retrieve what they need without asking or being embarrassed. \r\n\r\nMany of the students are low-income and are extremely grateful to have access to the care closet.

Your contribution is truly appreciated, and it will have a significant impact on both my students and my teaching.\r\n\r\nHaving enough copies of this classic novel means that every student in my class will be able to engage with the story in a meaningful way. The Outsiders offers rich opportunities for discussion, analysis, and reflection on important themes such as identity, belonging, and the challenges of growing up. By reading this novel together, my students will not only develop their reading skills but also gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.\r\n\r\nYour donation makes it possible for my students to experience the joy of reading a novel as a class, where we can explore the characters' experiences, learn from their struggles, and connect the lessons of the book to our own lives. It fosters a sense of community within our classroom, as the shared experience of reading the book opens the door to thoughtful conversations and valuable learning moments.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I am always striving to provide my students with diverse and impactful literary experiences. Your support allows me to do that, and I'm excited to see how the students will grow and engage with the material.
