Vacuuming regularly keeps the floors clean so children aren't breathing in allergens that can make them cough or sneeze. An air purifier works all day to filter the air, catching tiny particles like pollen, dust, and even some bacteria. When the air and floors are cleaner, children get sick less often and can focus better on learning and playing.\r\nThank you for helping us keep our classroom a clean, healthy place for all of our Pre-K students. Your support makes a big difference in creating a safe environment where our children can learn, play, and grow. We truly appreciate everything you do for our little learners.","fullyFundedDate":1697656626993,"projectUrl":"project/combating-sickness/7920732/","projectTitle":"Combating Sickness!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fischer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6892261_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y493&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671724252257","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6892261"},{"teacherId":7261076,"projectId":9537368,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for being part of this project. It has allowed me to implement a classroom management system that has worked really well for the diverse set of learners that I have. Having a classroom made up of first graders to sixth graders was going to be a very daunting task, especially a classroom of students who struggle with learning to begin with. \r\n Having the opportunity for students to be able to learn and work and then have a break with hands-on toys that they can use to create and imagine has been great. Students are so inundated with technology constantly and do not have the chance to learn and imagine and create. This has allowed them to not only get their work done but be imaginative as well. \r\n You have also provided these materials to a low-income school that does not have the resources to provide these materials. It is a blessing to get all of these supplies that would usually come out of my own personal salary. It was unexpected and I am very grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1754910723225,"projectUrl":"project/a-classroom-of-learning-and-exploration/9537368/","projectTitle":"A Classroom of Learning and Exploration At All Times","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Copto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7261076"},{"teacherId":7261076,"projectId":8944544,"letterContent":"I have been able to use the lamination paper and markers to improve instruction and make materials that are more permanent and able to be used for many kids.

The ABC magnetic board provides an educational activity as well as one that can calm students down if they have high energy. The orange exercise ball is also great for indoor recess, and it provides a sensory experience for my students who have autism. The laminating sheets have been great for me to make activity folders. I use the Velcro tabs to make items that can be used again and again for repeated review and drill. \r\n\r\nI've noticed that since these resources have arrived, students are more engaged in their learning. They are able to have hands on activities to explore.
