When the boxes arrived, the students were absolutely thrilled. Seeing the brand-new supplies made them feel incredibly valued and excited to learn. \r\n\r\n Here is a quick peek at how your investment is already changing the way we learn every day: \r\n\r\nInteractive Learning: We are using the whiteboard to teach and make students participate anywhere in the room and even in small groups. The presentation clicker allows me to move around the room and give immediate feedback to students.\r\n\r\nOrganization: The 9-cube storage system has given students a dedicated home for their supplies. Transitions are seamless, and no learning time is wasted.\r\n\r\nDaily Momentum: Having a steady supply of #2 pencils, erasers, and Velcro mounting squares means students can write and revise without interruption, while our schedules and targets are neatly displayed on the magnetic hooks.\r\n\r\nHealth & Energy: The disinfecting wipes are keeping our surfaces sparkling, and the fruit snacks are providing a crucial energy boost for students who need a little extra fuel to stay engaged.\r\n\r\n These resources continue to support our current classroom projects and lessons in reading, writing, math and collaborative learning. As we move forward, we are excited to continue building a classroom where students feel supported, engaged and motivated to learn everyday. \r\n\r\nYour kindness has truly made a lasting impact on our student's learning experience, and we are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1768576334998,"projectUrl":"project/where-organization-meets-collaboration/10018726/","projectTitle":"Where Organization Meets Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Infantado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8463944"},{"teacherId":6314788,"projectId":10194221,"letterContent":"When the delivery boxes first arrived, our classroom buzzed with pure Pre-K joy. Seeing the bright sensory stepping stones and the giant tunnel sparked audible gasps, with one student shouting, \"It's a whole playground inside a box!\" We put these materials to work immediately for our Field Day, turning our outdoor space into a vibrant gross motor wonderland that kept the children active and laughing all morning.\r\n\r\nA truly magical moment occurred at our new obstacle course station when one of our more hesitant students was nervous about crawling through the tunnel. Two classmates immediately ran to the far side, peeking in and shouting words of encouragement until the student successfully scrambled through to a chorus of cheers and high-fives on the sensory stones. It was a beautiful display of peer support and confidence-building that went way beyond just physical exercise.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these resources will be daily staples for recess and structured play. Our next steps are to integrate the sensory stones into math and literacy lessons—like counting or naming letter sounds as we jump from stone to stone—while using the catching games during small-group time to practice essential social skills like cooperation and turn-taking.

Students made steady progress throughout the year and became much more confident in problem solving, math discussions, and independent thinking. Many of them began the year hesitant to participate, but by spring they were volunteering answers, explaining their thinking, and even helping classmates. Watching their confidence grow alongside their scores was one of the most rewarding parts of the year.\r\n\r\nThe board games and Kindle readers played a huge role in that success. The games made math feel fun and helped students practice important skills without the pressure of traditional worksheets. The Kindle was especially motivating because students were able to read fun math related stories that connected learning to real life and kept them engaged. These resources helped create a positive learning environment where students actually looked forward to math group each day.

One of our favorite activities so far has been creating small vehicles. Students worked in teams to build cars, test how far they could roll, and then improve their designs. It was incredible to watch them problem-solve together—adjusting wheels, strengthening structures, and explaining their thinking in both English and Spanish.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate! Students' eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to start building. Many of our bilingual learners, who are sometimes hesitant to participate, jumped right in and began sharing ideas with their classmates. The hands-on nature of these materials gave them the confidence to express themselves, collaborate, and take risks in their learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are beginning a new engineering challenge focused on building bridges and ramps. Students will use the materials to explore concepts like balance, stability, and design while continuing to strengthen their language skills through discussion and teamwork. Thanks to your generosity, our students are developing not only STEM knowledge, but also confidence, creativity, and a love of learning that will stay with them far beyond our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768122277585,"projectUrl":"project/successful-bilingual-learners/9992962/","projectTitle":"Successful Bilingual Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rivera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6953292_orig.jpg?crop=721,721,x0,y168&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1573608727803","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6953292"},{"teacherId":8083463,"projectId":10019873,"letterContent":"On behalf of my 5th grade class, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of reading books and math manipulatives.

Having access to engaging, grade-level reading materials gives every student the opportunity to grow as a reader and discover the joy of getting lost in a great story. For many of our students, these books may be some of the first they can truly call their own.\r\nThe math manipulatives have been equally transformative. Seeing abstract concepts come to life through hands-on learning has made a remarkable difference in how our students understand and connect with mathematics. What once felt challenging is now approachable — and even fun.\r\nYour contribution reminds our students that their community believes in them and values their education.

Some of my students have families who live in Central and South America, and hearing them express how they make connections with their classmates about similarities or differences is the kindest gift.\r\n\r\n\r\nBeing part of a 50/50 dual language immersion program means my students need to keep their areas organized. This can get quite overwhelming with notebooks, pencil cases, and Chromebooks. However, the donated book bins have saved my students and me lots of hassle in terms of ensuring their workspaces allow them to work efficiently and maintain their supplies neatly tucked away in the classroom.\r\n\r\nLastly, place value pocket charts have allowed me to carry through differentiated lessons and provide visual aids for my students who need that picture-to-word connection. As previously mentioned, my classroom is a dual language, and I specifically teach the Spanish portion of my partnership. Student recall of place value and numbers in both languages is an important concept that they have been able to grasp with the help of such materials.","fullyFundedDate":1768078196059,"projectUrl":"project/bilingual-bookworms-and-mathematicians/9991419/","projectTitle":"Bilingual Bookworms and Mathematicians","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gómez Ochoa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10162588_orig.jpg?crop=3009,3009,x376,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767852187363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10162588"},{"teacherId":5354686,"projectId":10011068,"letterContent":"Your donations have helped immensely with differentiating small groups and having students work on their team work and problem solving skills.

One of the most exciting moments was during our \"Skills Stations\" rotation, where students practiced throwing, catching, dribbling, and striking. With enough equipment for everyone, all students were actively engaged instead of waiting turns. I watched one of my quieter students successfully catch a frisbee for the first time and immediately light up with confidence—that moment was priceless. These materials have allowed me to create more structured, skill-based lessons where every child is moving, learning, and improving.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new equipment, their faces said it all—pure excitement! They were eager to jump in, explore, and try everything. Many students commented on how bright, colorful, and \"professional\" the equipment looked. It instantly elevated their enthusiasm and pride in our PE program. Even students who are sometimes hesitant to participate were more willing to join in because the materials felt new, fun, and inviting.\r\n\r\nThe next step is building on these foundational skills through small-sided games and teamwork challenges. Students are now applying their throwing, catching, and movement skills in game-like situations such as mini soccer, frisbee challenges, and cooperative team activities. We are also focusing on communication, teamwork, and sportsmanship—key life skills that extend beyond PE. As we continue, students will set personal fitness and skill goals, track their progress, and reflect on their growth. These new resources are helping us create a more inclusive, engaging, and active environment where every student can succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1768170060536,"projectUrl":"project/having-fun-while-learning-to-stay-health/9990381/","projectTitle":"Having Fun While Learning to Stay Healthy and Fit","teacherDisplayName":"Teacher Graville","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4129492_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1480900277630","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4129492"},{"teacherId":3092235,"projectId":9991270,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.
