The hanging folder system has provided a visual resource for my students. Students can easily see the folder centers that they can use to complete assigned financial literacy centers. They look forward to completing the folder centers and it offers them choice which has also given them a sense of ownership! They are allowed to bring the resources home and work with their parents, too.

Your support has made an incredible difference in my students' learning experience. The indoor/outdoor recess equipment has been a game-changer, especially on days when the weather keeps us inside. The students were thrilled when they first saw the new materials—their faces lit up with excitement, and they couldn't wait to try everything out! Not only has this equipment kept them active and engaged, but it has also helped them burn off energy in a positive way, making our classroom time more productive.\r\n\r\nBeyond recess, your donations have fostered creativity and hands-on learning. The craft supplies allowed my students to bring their research projects to life by creating a school museum, which the entire school enjoyed. It was amazing to see their pride as they showcased their work. Additionally, the snacks have been a lifeline for many students, bridging the gap between breakfast and lunch and helping them stay focused. The toiletries and hair supplies have also been invaluable, ensuring that all my students feel clean, confident, and ready to learn—regardless of their circumstances at home.","fullyFundedDate":1732718992746,"projectUrl":"project/creativity-and-critical-thinking-through/8890102/","projectTitle":"Creativity and Critical Thinking Through Art, Play and SEL","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harvey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8977229_orig.jpg?crop=299,299,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677956253576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8977229"},{"teacherId":3239722,"projectId":9282047,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project this summer.

Students who were interested in the program checked out books before the last day of school. They are going to make such great progress and be prepared for the upcoming school year.

The students were over the moon excited when the games arrived!\r\n\r\nWhen my students entered the classroom, I had a board game on the table and the students immediately wanted to play. The Little Alchemist board game focuses on deductive thinking and gets harder as they move through the different levels. There are six levels of play. I knew my students would love the game and it would be a great addition to our thinking skills unit. I was surprised when they wanted to use recess time to play the game. It is so much fun watching them talk back and forth and explain concepts to their classmates. \r\n\r\nI am also teaching a Mars unit, and the Mars board game has really added to our unit in an enjoyable way! It provides an amazing hands-on experience. Students have a better understanding of what it would really take to transform Mars. They need to think about the importance of oxygen, food, weather control, water and more. The students need to work together as a team to make Mars inhabitable. \r\n\r\nI am so thankful to add these games to my classroom.
