Your generous donation provided essential supplies such as hand sanitizer, Kleenex, and disinfectant wipes that will help us keep our classroom clean, comfortable, and ready for learning.\r\n\r\nIn a classroom filled with students, germs can spread quickly. Having these supplies readily available allows students to clean their hands, take care of themselves when they aren't feeling well, and helps us regularly disinfect the surfaces we use every day. These may seem like small items, but they make a big difference in creating a healthier classroom environment.\r\n\r\nI am especially grateful that these supplies allow us to be proactive. Instead of worrying about running out of basic hygiene supplies, we can focus our attention where it belongs—on learning. Students know they have access to tissues and hand sanitizer when they need them, and I can keep commonly touched surfaces clean throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping keep our classroom stocked, healthy, and ready for another great school year!","fullyFundedDate":1788815843224,"projectUrl":"project/germs-stop-here/10502122/","projectTitle":"Germs Stop Here","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McQuay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3657209_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467216838664","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3657209"},{"teacherId":3657209,"projectId":10535741,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom and helping me create a positive, welcoming environment for my students! Your generosity provided tickets for our positive reward system, fun reward stickers, and a variety of classroom bookmarks—and these simple items have made a bigger impact than you might expect.\r\n\r\nOur reward tickets give me a way to recognize students when they demonstrate positive behaviors, make good choices, participate, show kindness, or put forth extra effort. Students enjoy earning tickets and working toward classroom rewards, but the most important part is that they know their positive choices are noticed and appreciated.\r\n\r\nAnd yes, even junior high students still love stickers! The reward stickers have become a fun way to celebrate students' accomplishments and give them a little something tangible to take with them. Sometimes a small recognition can make a student's entire day.\r\n\r\nThe bookmarks have also been a wonderful addition to our classroom. They encourage students to keep reading and give them something useful to take with them as they work through books and other texts. Having a variety of designs allows students to choose something that fits their personality.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources help me build a classroom culture centered on encouragement, positivity, and celebrating growth. Thank you for helping me create an environment where students feel seen, valued, and motivated to do their best.","fullyFundedDate":1788267437368,"projectUrl":"project/creating-classroom-culture/10535741/","projectTitle":"Creating Classroom Culture","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McQuay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3657209_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467216838664","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3657209"},{"teacherId":3657209,"projectId":10502144,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my students through your generous donation! Your gift provided a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card that allowed me to purchase supplemental resources specifically designed to strengthen my students' skills in research, MLA citation, and journalistic writing.\r\n\r\nThese resources have already become valuable tools in our classroom. My students are learning how to conduct effective research, evaluate and use credible sources, properly cite information, and incorporate research into their own writing. These are important skills not only for producing quality writing in class but also for success throughout their academic careers.\r\n\r\nYour support allowed me to purchase an Associated Press style guide for our student journalists. Having access to AP style resources gives students a professional reference they can use as they write and edit articles for our school publications. They are learning that journalism involves more than simply telling a story—it requires accuracy, clarity, consistency, and careful attention to details.\r\n\r\nI am especially grateful that your donation provided resources that students can use throughout the school year and beyond. The skills they are developing will follow them into future English classes, college, careers, and any situation in which they need to communicate information accurately and effectively.","fullyFundedDate":1787438038491,"projectUrl":"project/supplemental-resources-for-learning/10502144/","projectTitle":"Supplemental Resources for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McQuay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3657209_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467216838664","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3657209"},{"teacherId":3657209,"projectId":10381309,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my students by funding our classroom library project! Your generosity provided my students with class sets of *Where the Red Fern Grows* and *To Kill a Mockingbird*, giving them the opportunity to experience these important works of literature through their own classroom copies.\r\n\r\nThese books are more than just reading assignments. They give my students opportunities to connect with characters, explore difficult choices, discuss important themes, and think critically about the world around them. Having enough copies for students to read together has made it possible for us to have meaningful discussions and dig deeper into the texts without students having to worry about sharing or not having access to a book.\r\n\r\nAs we read Where the Red Fern Grows, students explore themes such as friendship, loyalty, perseverance, and loss. To Kill a Mockingbird gives us opportunities to examine courage, empathy, justice, prejudice, and the importance of seeing situations from another person's perspective. These discussions often lead students to make connections between the literature and their own lives and experiences.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping put meaningful books into their hands.
