The supplies have been a huge help for my English Learners to stay organized during our work time. The small rainbow baskets have been pivotal for my youngest students. Baskets are packed with supplies for the activities of the day and students can grab their basket and be organized right from the start with what they need. In addition to the baskets, the rainbow rotating art supply organizer has been something all my students really love. They know when they go to the table with this organizer, they have everything they need ready for them! Inside the art organizer, students can find the colored pencils, Colors of the World crayons, and rulers. They have been extremely important in our classroom to complete all of our crafts. In the first few weeks, students created flags of their home country and created a mini self portrait to hang in our class to represent where we all come from. These supplies have already been well used and cherished.\r\n The bilingual books have been very popular with my students. They were so excited to see books in their native languages that they could allow them to practice reading in English, but also read to their peers in their first language too. It has been so special watching them enjoy reading these books. They especially love practicing their reading on the cushions that were purchased! The Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Card has also been so helpful to support my students' reading skills. I have been able to purchase different sound sorts and vocabulary games to help students practice new words in English and practice their decoding. I have used the construction paper to help make some of these games as well. \r\n Finally, I feel so thankful for the cleaning supplies that were purchased. We jump right into sick season in the fall, and having a supply of wipes and hand sanitizer help us all stay healthy so we can come to school each day ready to learn. I can't thank you enough for all of these donations. They have helped my students stay healthy, organized, and encouraged to learn each and everyday.","fullyFundedDate":1787331413782,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-basics-essential-supplies-for-e/10482427/","projectTitle":"Back to Basics- Essential Supplies for English Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ernst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10591897_orig.jpg?crop=195,195,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786669088284","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10591897"},{"teacherId":9679800,"projectId":10255328,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity! Kindergarten is a big transition for many young students. It can bring up a lot of big emotions for them to have to learn about and understand effective ways to work through their emotions. Because of your donations, I have been able to provide more sensory and emotional regulation tools and strategies for these students. They have loved learning about and using these tools every day in our classroom! Some of their favorites include the sensory/fidget tools. We also frequently use the hand held mirrors with the emotion pictures to help our student recognize the facial features on their own faces as they see the emotional faces on the pictures.

My students use the new supplies every day during our lessons. We use the markers to practice math on our whiteboards, and the new erasers mean we no longer have to use tissues or paper towels to clean them. The tissues and hand sanitizer are especially helpful as we head into flu season and help us keep our classroom clean and keep us healthy. I am especially excited about the cursive book because I can copy it for each student and continue using it with future classes for years to come.\r\n\r\n My students absolutely love the new resources, especially the new table and stools. Since the table is tall, it can be used as a standing desk, giving students the choice to sit or stand while they work and helping them find what feels most comfortable for them. The Sharpies and felt tipped pens are also a wonderful new addition as they are great for classroom projects and adding color to our posters. They have also loved having new colors to use, and they get excited to see which color I will use to correct and star their papers each day.\r\n\r\n We are already planning our next project using these materials. Each month, our school focuses on a different social-emotional learning theme. In October, my students will create posters about the theme using the new markers and other supplies. We plan to display the posters in the hallway so other students and teachers can read them and learn how they too can show the same positive behaviors. Thank you again for making these resources possible for my students! Your generosity is truly making a difference in our classroom and helping my students feel supported, comfortable, and ready to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1778253831387,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-thrive-flexible-seating-and-su/10269511/","projectTitle":"Tools to Thrive: Flexible Seating and Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10087357_orig.jpg?crop=1815,1815,x129,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778085676735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10087357"},{"teacherId":9916796,"projectId":10209308,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in supporting \"Our Vibrant Classroom.\" Your donation to our Teachers Pay Teachers resources has made an immediate, transformative impact on my third graders.

I especially love that students who may not always feel confident with traditional academic activities can experience success through coding. They can build a path, test their idea, make a mistake, laugh, make a change, and try again. Those moments are where some of the best learning happens.\r\n\r\nMy goal is for our library to be a place where every child feels comfortable exploring something new. These mats will help me create experiences where students are not just following directions—they are thinking, creating, collaborating, and discovering what they are capable of doing.\r\n\r\nI want my students to leave the library excited to tell someone, \"Look what I made!\" Your support will help give them those moments of pride and excitement while building skills they will carry with them long after they leave our library.","fullyFundedDate":1778010971389,"projectUrl":"project/coding-our-way-hands-on-learning-with-s/10231515/","projectTitle":"Coding Our Way: Hands-On Learning With Sphero Indi Mats","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Doucette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp843023_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506381378207","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsdoucette"},{"teacherId":7226095,"projectId":10240912,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my third-grade classroom.

They were able to research, create, illustrate and present facts about the Constitutional Convention simulating what they conflict and resolutions that occurred during the famous meeting.\r\n\r\nI have also purchased many different Bingo games to review and reinforce many different standards. In the spring my students have really enjoyed playing a coordinate plane Bingo game. These resources have been been engaging while also being instructional.
