Our classroom has four brand new, sturdy bookshelves for our classroom library thanks to you. \r\n\r\nThe shelves help organize all the different books and resources so that students can easily access books of interest to them or that relate to what we are learning. \r\n\r\nEach month, I rotate the books displayed on top of the shelves to coordinate with heritage months like Hispanic heritage month (mid-September to mid-October) and Native American heritage month (November) or to connect to themes or topics like beginning of the year themes.\r\n\r\nMy fourth graders are always asking if they can go look at books in the library and I don't have to worry about the shelves collapsing anymore. The shelves help foster their love of reading and learning. \r\n\r\nI hope to create more opportunities for them to explore the classroom library more in the coming months!\r\n\r\nI truly cannot thank you enough for helping my classroom environment be more organized and accessible.

Because of your generous donation, we now have a classroom TV, and it has already made such a big difference.\r\n\r\nWe've been using it to bring our lessons to life in fun ways. Educational videos help explain more difficult concepts. The kids are more excited to learn, and it's been amazing to see their curiosity grow.\r\n\r\nThe TV has also added a lot of energy and joy to our daily routine. We use it for movement breaks and dancing, which helps us reset and stay focused throughout the day. It has become one of the students' favorite parts of our schedule, and they look forward to those moments as much as any lesson.\r\n\r\nWe also display student work, share morning messages, and celebrate birthdays and classroom milestones. The TV has truly helped us build a stronger and more connected classroom community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support.

They were all eager to enhance our learning with better technology. Our shared space is used for ESL instruction and special education services. Now, our classroom is more interactive and exciting for our students with multisensory approaches to learning, specifically with technology.\r\n\r\nIn preparation for our Thank You package, we began to discuss what it means to be a \"donor\".

This not only allows educators to maintain a portfolio of creative and educational achievements for themselves but also provides a lasting keepsake for students and their families. The ability to share these preserved pieces creates a sense of pride and accomplishment for everyone involved.\r\n\r\nCreation of Supplementary Materials: Teachers are empowered to create and utilize supplementary materials more efficiently. By laminating teaching aids, parents, and learning resources, educators can ensure these materials withstand regular use in the classroom. The durability offered by lamination means that teachers can continually improve and adapt their instructional materials, leading to a more enriching learning environment.\r\n\r\nSturdy Awards and Certificates: Awards and certificates given to students become much more durable when laminated. Instead of flimsy paper that may rip or crumble, these commendations will be sturdy and long-lasting, making it easier for students to cherish their achievements. This enhancement boosts the excitement and value of receiving recognition, fostering a culture of motivation and encouragement within the school.","fullyFundedDate":1731540009580,"projectUrl":"project/operation-learning-preservation/8917535/","projectTitle":"Operation Learning Preservation","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Demma","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1060237_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1591535045198","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1060237"},{"teacherId":1060237,"projectId":8533649,"letterContent":"After many failed attempts, I was unable to secure the TV that my original proposal was funded.
