In our school, the high cost of supplemental materials often means we have to go without the \"extras\" that make a difference in student retention. Because of your kindness, my students now have high-quality math journals that allow them to consistently refresh and practice skills from previous lessons. These journals have transformed our math block; instead of searching for scrap paper or losing track of past strategies, students now have a dedicated space to build a library of their own knowledge. It is incredibly rewarding to see their confidence grow as they flip back through their own work to solve new, complex problems using the foundations they've already mastered.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these materials goes far beyond just organization. For many of my students, having a brand-new journal that is \"theirs\" makes them feel like professional mathematicians. I've noticed that several students who previously struggled with math anxiety are now much more eager to participate because they have their past successes documented right in front of them. Reading and writing in math has become a daily habit, helping them articulate their thinking process more clearly. I could never have provided these essential tools without the help of the DonorsChoose community. Your generosity has truly shown my students that their education is worth investing in, and for that, we are all deeply thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1763571227122,"projectUrl":"project/math-helper/9834350/","projectTitle":"Math Helper","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Russini","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6311268_orig.jpg?crop=1931,1931,x326,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556929206809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eddyr"},{"teacherId":6311268,"projectId":9520173,"letterContent":"he start of this school year brought many challenges, as significant budget cuts left our classroom with almost no funding for the \"extras\" that make learning feel personal and engaging. However, the \"Let's Do This!\" project changed everything the moment our new resources arrived. When the students saw the packages, the atmosphere in the room shifted from uncertainty to pure excitement. These materials provided more than just physical tools; they sent a clear message to my students that they are valued and that their education is a priority for people they have never even met. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch students who were initially discouraged by the lack of supplies suddenly take ownership of their learning, using these new resources to explore subjects with a newfound sense of purpose and pride.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your generosity has created a ripple effect throughout our daily routines. These \"extras\" have allowed us to move beyond basic lectures and into hands-on activities that truly resonate with the kids. My students have become more collaborative and enthusiastic, often asking to spend more time with the project materials even after the formal lesson has ended. This experience has taught them about the power of community and kindness, showing them that even in the face of budget cuts, there are people willing to step up and support their dreams. As we move forward, we plan to use these resources to build a year-long portfolio of work that showcases their growth and creativity. Thank you for making my students feel seen and for proving to them that they truly matter.","fullyFundedDate":1754421048411,"projectUrl":"project/lets-do-this/9520173/","projectTitle":"Let's Do This!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Russini","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6311268_orig.jpg?crop=1931,1931,x326,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556929206809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eddyr"},{"teacherId":6311268,"projectId":9311889,"letterContent":"he \"Promotion Time!\" project was the perfect conclusion to an incredible school year, allowing us to send our students off to middle school in high style. My students have worked tirelessly all year long, and their dedication reflected in the high grades they achieved across all subjects. When the middle school care packages first arrived, the classroom was filled with excitement and a sense of pride. These resources weren't just school supplies; they were a tangible reward for their resilience and a reminder that their community believes in their future. Watching them open these packages was a specific moment of joy that I will cherish, as it validated all the long hours they put into their studies.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your generosity has provided these students with a lasting memory and the practical tools they need for their next academic chapter. They were deeply touched to know that people who have never met them were willing to fund our request and invest in their success. As they transition to middle school, these care packages serve as a bridge, ensuring they always remember the support system they had here. Our next steps involve a final promotion ceremony where students will officially receive their packages and reflect on their growth. Thank you for making this milestone so special and for showing my students that hard work is recognized and celebrated.","fullyFundedDate":1746565777523,"projectUrl":"project/promotion-time/9311889/","projectTitle":"Promotion Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Russini","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6311268_orig.jpg?crop=1931,1931,x326,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556929206809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eddyr"},{"teacherId":6311268,"projectId":9123982,"letterContent":"The \"Theater Matters\" project has completely transformed my classroom and sparked a passion for the arts that I haven't seen before. When the resources first arrived, my students were ecstatic; their eyes lit up as they realized they finally had the tools to bring their creative visions to life. We hit the ground running, using the materials to dive deep into the history of theater and the technicalities of staging a show. From the first day of our theater club, the energy was palpable. The students weren't just learning from a book; they were actively building sets, rehearsing scenes, and understanding the collaborative spirit required to make magic happen on stage. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my teaching career to see students who were once shy find their voices and lead their peers through complex rehearsals.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your generosity has extended far beyond our scheduled lessons. My students grew so attached to the project that they didn't want the classes to end, often staying late to perfect a scene or discuss the nuances of a character's history. This project has given them a sense of belonging and a safe space to express themselves. Looking ahead, our next steps involve a final showcase where students will apply everything they've learned about staging and performance for a live audience. This journey has taught them that their stories matter and that they have the power to command a stage. Thank you for opening this door for them and for showing them that their education can be as vibrant and dynamic as a live performance.","fullyFundedDate":1742927178709,"projectUrl":"project/theater-matters/9123982/","projectTitle":"Theater Matters","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Russini","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6311268_orig.jpg?crop=1931,1931,x326,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556929206809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eddyr"},{"teacherId":6734080,"projectId":7985626,"letterContent":"With your help I have been able to create a variety of visuals to use in our classroom for my PreK students.
