The 3M Laminator Kit With Every Size Laminating Pouch has allowed us to preserve anchor charts, vocabulary cards, and student-created reading tools so they can be reused throughout the year. Students use the Magnetic Notebook Paper and Magnetic Handwriting Paper to practice writing skills directly on the board during mini-lessons, while Sharpie Flip Chart Tank Permanent Markers and Sharpie Glam Pop Permanent Markers help us create bright, engaging visual notes. During a recent reading workshop, students designed laminated \"theme trackers\" to monitor character development—an activity that sparked thoughtful discussion and deeper comprehension.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, students were thrilled. The colorful markers, magnetic writing tools, and fun pencils immediately sparked excitement and motivation. The Enday #2 Pencils Bulk 300 Pack and BUSHIBU Cute Pencils for Kids ensured every student had a writing tool, removing a common barrier to learning. Basic supplies like TRU RED 8.5 x 11 Copy Paper and Staples Wide Ruled Filler Paper made it possible for students to draft, revise, and publish their writing with confidence. At the same time, the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Value Pack and Lysol Air Sanitizer Spray helped us maintain a healthy environment, which is especially important during cold and flu season. Students expressed pride in their refreshed classroom and appreciation for having the tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, your support has also helped meet students' basic needs so they can focus on learning. Snacks such as Pop-Tarts Toaster Pastries Variety Pack, Nabisco Fun Shapes Variety Pack, Mott's Fruit Flavored Snacks, and Slim Jim Smoked Meat Sticks provide quick energy boosts that help sustain attention during long learning blocks. Next, students will use laminated graphic organizers and magnetic writing tools to develop argumentative paragraphs in our current unit, moving from brainstorming to publishing polished final drafts. Your generosity has not only strengthened literacy instruction but has also created a supportive classroom environment where students feel prepared, energized, and ready to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1768583144084,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-learning/10019272/","projectTitle":"Healthy Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. V.

When the binders arrived, my students were excited to receive their own materials. Many had never owned a new binder before, and their faces lit up as they personalized them with pride. This simple gesture created a sense of ownership that positively impacted their attitude toward learning.\r\n\r\nWe used the binders to organize our science interactive notebooks, MAAP-aligned study guides, and weekly review packets. During our unit on heredity and reproduction, students tracked their progress on each learning target and reflected on their growth. One student remarked, \"This binder helped me stay on track—I finally felt like I wasn't behind.\" The added structure allowed for smoother transitions between lessons and helped improve student focus and confidence.\r\n\r\nAs we moved into our final projects, the binders served as personal portfolios for students to showcase their understanding in a culminating genetics assignment.
