Your support has made a real difference in our classroom, and I'm thrilled to share the impact you've had on my students.\r\n\r\nWe've already put everything to good use! For example, in a recent social studies project on Missouri's geography, students used the colored pencils and markers to draw three things found in Missouri and their favorite activity to do in Missouri. They also used the coloring materials to color homecoming posters for a parade. They used the clipboards to move around the room during group work for science lessons. The whiteboards have been an incredible tool for math centers, allowing students to quickly work through problems and explain their thinking to peers. The headphones have also been a game-changer during our independent reading and learning station times. Students are now able to listen to audiobooks, educational videos, and personalized instruction without distraction.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're going to be starting a science unit on magnets and electricity. Students will be doing group activities around the room using the clipboards. Additionally we are starting multiplication where the whiteboards will be utilized for math facts. I'm excited to see how the tools you provided will continue to foster creativity, collaboration, and confidence in their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping bring joy, color, and functionality into our classroom. Your support has helped create an environment where students feel excited to learn and express themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1750084052799,"projectUrl":"project/ms-murphys-3rd-grade-classroom/9363597/","projectTitle":"Ms. Murphy’s 3rd Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Murphy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10038142_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748910767691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10038142"},{"teacherId":9931127,"projectId":9129994,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation to my classroom through Donors Choose.

The new headphones are helping students stay focused during independent reading and online practice. The highlighters are supporting them as they learn to pull out key details from texts, which strengthens their reading comprehension. And the motivation rewards—like bookmarks and punch cards—are bringing such joy to the classroom, encouraging students to work hard, stay on task, and celebrate their growth. These items may seem simple, but they make a world of difference for children who often come to school without the supplies they need.
