As a first-year teacher, one of my biggest dreams has been to create a classroom that feels like more than just a place where students come to learn. I want it to feel like a second home—a place where my students feel safe, loved, welcomed, encouraged, and excited to come each day. A place where they can be themselves, make memories, build friendships, and know that they matter. Because of your generosity, that dream is becoming a reality!\r\n\r\nThank you so much to everyone who donated items to our classroom. From games, snacks, prizes, classroom supplies, and organizational items to all of the wonderful things pictured, every single donation means more to me than you could ever imagine. These items may seem like simple things, but to my students, they represent fun, excitement, opportunities to connect with one another, and a classroom filled with people who care about them. I cannot wait to see the smiles, laughter, and memories that come from using these items throughout the year!\r\n\r\nAnd while the items pictured are already making such a difference, there are also SO many flexible seating options that were donated that are not even pictured! Having different seating choices will allow my students to find a space where they feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn. Whether they need a cozy spot to read, a comfortable place to work, or simply a little change of scenery, these options will help make our classroom feel even more welcoming and special.\r\n\r\nOne of my biggest goals this year is to create an environment where my students know that our classroom is their space, too. I want them to walk through the door each morning and feel like they belong. I want them to know that it is okay to have a hard day, that their accomplishments will be celebrated, that their voices will be heard, and that they will always have someone cheering them on. I want our classroom to be filled with kindness, laughter, encouragement, and so much love.\r\n\r\nAs a first-year teacher, there are so many things I am learning along the way, and I know this year will be full of challenges, growth, and unforgettable moments. But having a community of people who are willing to support me and my students makes this journey so much more meaningful. Your generosity has taken so much of the stress off my shoulders and has allowed me to focus on what matters most: creating the best possible experience for my students.\r\n\r\nEvery donation, no matter how big or small, is helping me build something truly special. You are not just donating supplies or classroom items. You are helping create a home away from home for a group of amazing kids. You are helping make learning more fun, building connections, encouraging creativity, and showing my students that there are people in this world who believe in them and want to see them succeed.\r\n\r\nI hope you know how much your kindness means to me. I wish I could adequately express the gratitude I feel for each and every person who has contributed. My heart is so full, and I am beyond blessed to have such a wonderful community supporting my first year of teaching.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me turn our classroom into a home. Thank you for investing in my students. Thank you for making this first-year teacher's dream come true. I cannot wait to see all the wonderful things this year holds for our classroom family! ❤️","fullyFundedDate":1790273838270,"projectUrl":"project/making-our-classroom-home/10438612/","projectTitle":"Making Our Classroom Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10574824"},{"teacherId":10379219,"projectId":10201694,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! Because of your generosity, my students now have access to new resources that are helping make learning more engaging, hands-on, and meaningful. When the materials first arrived, my students were excited to see something new in our classroom and couldn't wait to explore them. We have been using the resources during our lessons to work together, ask questions, practice new skills, and make connections to what we are learning. It has been wonderful to see students who may sometimes hesitate to participate become more excited and confident when they can learn through hands-on experiences.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching my students work together on a classroom project using the new materials. They were eager to share ideas, solve problems, and help one another, and I could see their confidence growing as they worked. Your donation has given my students more than just classroom supplies—it has given them opportunities to explore, create, and take ownership of their learning. As we continue our current lesson/project, students will be using these resources to build on what they have already learned, complete their work, and share their learning with others. Thank you for investing in my students and helping make these learning experiences possible!","fullyFundedDate":1785331538527,"projectUrl":"project/3rd-grade-fun-and-learning/10201694/","projectTitle":"3rd Grade Fun and Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kessler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10379219_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776287084279","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10379219"},{"teacherId":10378861,"projectId":9951023,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing my classroom and students with the tools they need for creative success. Your generosity made a meaningful impact—students were genuinely surprised and inspired by the kindness of individuals they have never met. It was a powerful reminder to them that there is great goodwill in the world.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, every student in grades K–12 now has access to reliable, high-quality materials. Simple items, such as properly functioning scissors, have made a noticeable difference in their ability to create with confidence and ease. As we prepare for upcoming art shows, the double-sided tape has been especially helpful for mounting and displaying artwork with care and professionalism. Students take great pride in seeing their work displayed throughout the school. This visibility not only celebrates their creativity but also boosts their confidence and motivates them to continue exploring and creating. The laminating pouches have also been incredibly versatile, allowing us to create reusable paint palettes, preserve reference materials, and develop durable classroom resources.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the games you provided have generated a great deal of excitement. Students are already looking forward to a special end-of-year game day, which will serve as both a celebration and a reward for their hard work.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your generosity and support of our classroom. Your contributions have made a lasting difference in our students' learning experiences and creative growth. We wish you all the best in your own creative endeavors.","fullyFundedDate":1768598936371,"projectUrl":"project/artist-in-training/9951023/","projectTitle":"Artist in Training!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Seieroe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10378861"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76336","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":425,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"26.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":91.7,"schoolId":76336,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sebeka School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sebeka School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/sebeka-independent-school-district-820/sebeka-school/76336"}
