Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and I am so grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have access to the materials and flexible seating that help them feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn. For many of them, this means having supplies they may not have otherwise had and a classroom environment that truly supports their needs. These are things that might seem small, but they have a huge impact on their daily experiences and success.\r\n\r\nI wish you could see the smiles on their faces as they use these new resources. They feel proud, excited, and cared for—and that feeling carries into their learning every single day. You have helped create a space where students feel valued and motivated to do their best.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.","fullyFundedDate":1768167940903,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-third-grade-thinkers/9995482/","projectTitle":"Fueling Third Grade Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kaltsas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8513607_orig.jpg?crop=412,412,x0,y113&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707670907084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8513607"},{"teacherId":8116268,"projectId":10006962,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your incredible generosity and support of our classroom. Because of you, my students have been able to learn in a space that is more engaging, organized, and motivating—and they felt that impact immediately.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the excitement in the room was unforgettable. Students were especially thrilled about the flexible seating and classroom economy items. There were so many \"Can we use these today?!\" moments, and it created an instant sense of ownership and pride in our classroom. They truly felt like this space was made for them.\r\n\r\nWe have already begun using these resources in our daily learning. During our math and language arts block, students use the clipboards and organized supply systems to work independently and stay focused. Our \"I Have, Who Has?\" games have become a favorite way to review skills—students are engaged, listening closely, and excited to participate. The brain break activities have also made a huge difference, allowing students to reset and come back ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful additions has been our classroom economy system. Students are earning rewards for completing assignments, showing responsibility, and making positive choices. It has transformed the way they approach their work—they are more motivated, accountable, and proud of their progress. It has also helped build a strong sense of community, where students encourage one another to succeed.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue to use these materials to support both academic growth and social-emotional development. As we move into upcoming units, students will use these tools during small group work, independent practice, and collaborative projects. The structure and engagement these resources provide will help them stay focused, take ownership of their learning, and build confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom is not just a place to learn—it is a place where students feel supported, motivated, and excited to grow. Thank you for making that possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1768184324739,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-focus-fun-and-responsibilit/10006962/","projectTitle":"Supporting Focus, Fun, and Responsibility in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bradfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8116268_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699122488966","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8116268"},{"teacherId":7642727,"projectId":10034990,"letterContent":"Thank you for the supplies for my second grade and kindergarten small groups. Students have really enjoyed using the LCD writing boards for show downs. \r\nStudents have been able to use lots of new supplies for a multi-sensory experience. We have enjoyed using the seating cushions for our learning time at the carpet. The whiteboards and markers have been used alternately with the LCD boards to have show downs and the students love it. \r\nTheir favorite part of small group is the sand writing. With the clear trays and black sand, students have been able to practice fine motor skills while using a multi-sensory method of learning. We also use the green crayons to practice another multi-sensory approach with bumpy screens while repeating the letter name and sound. \r\nAs we continue our small group lessons for the remainder of the year, students are excited to start putting their new letter knowledge to the test with the POP for letters game.","fullyFundedDate":1768738058326,"projectUrl":"project/inspire-learning/10034990/","projectTitle":"Inspire learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hannel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7642727"},{"teacherId":7413165,"projectId":9994720,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project.

The quality of student writing has improved as they have continued writing throughout the year.\r\nWe have also been able to publish google slides in color with our new color printer. This has allowed students to take their slide shows home and share them with families in a book format.\r\nFinally, students have continued to grow academically through the use of computer support for ELA and math.

I wish you could have seen their eyes when they saw all the new white boards and erasers they got to use during our phonics block. To say they are grateful is an understatement. \r\n\r\nSince we just celebrated Nevada Reading Week last week, students got to use their new book bins to house their books for the week. They loved getting to use the bookmarks to save their spots, and having their own bin for their books made them excited each day to jump into reading! \r\n\r\nPersonally, I have been so thankful for all of the markers and pens we now have in the classroom thanks to your generosity.

When my students saw the new materials, they could not wait to use them! They eagerly awaited our future science and math lessons.\r\n\r\nMy students love being engaged in hands on science activities. Using the refrigerator and microwave to explore the properties of materials has made a big impact on how we are able to participate in lessons. Students enjoy wearing safety goggles and it helps them to understand the importance of protecting themselves. Also, the magnifying glasses have come in handy for so many lessons already. From investigating materials, to identifying different types of sand, to studying the affects of water on materials such as chalk, students are able to examine the models up close!\r\n\r\nThe books are helping my class to enjoy and appreciate nonfiction books. They are able to learn and explore different subjects. The math games are also a lot of fun! Students are building their number sense while having fun and growing their math skills.
