Students love our cozy corner and have been actively trying to earn their Good Behavior Stickers in order to get to relax in it during independent work time. They love the new stickers. I have students running to my room after school asking if they can have another reflection question so they can earn another sticker.\r\n\r\nIt is so nice having enough pencils for my students. The class runs smoother when we aren't struggling to get everyone supplies. The erasers help a lot with the longevity of the pencils as well as students aren't discouraged by pencils without erasers. \r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the new prizes they became much more invested in scoring well in our review games as well.","fullyFundedDate":1768106643350,"projectUrl":"project/help-supply-my-classroom/9994631/","projectTitle":"Help Supply My Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Seaber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7799953"},{"teacherId":127256,"projectId":10012131,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students now have the paper they need to bring their thinking to life. We are using the copy paper daily to print our student journals, where students respond to reading, reflect on their learning, and draft ideas for our Utopia Project. One of our favorite classroom moments was when students received their first printed journal pages and immediately began decorating, labeling sections, and proudly flipping through them like real authors. Having consistent access to paper has made writing feel more official and meaningful to them—it's no longer just an assignment, but something they own.\r\n\r\nStudents were genuinely excited when they saw the cases of paper arrive because they knew it meant more opportunities to create. They quickly connected it to our upcoming Utopia Project, where they are designing their own \"perfect societies\" and explaining the rules, values, and systems that would make them work. We are now using the paper to print color posters, planning pages, and final drafts so students can visually present their ideas in a way that matches their creativity. Many students who are usually quiet in class have become more engaged because they can express themselves through both writing and design.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building their Utopia projects by drafting, revising, and presenting their societies using journals and colorful displays. They will analyze how rules shape communities and connect this to our essential question about how challenges shape the future. Because of your donation, students can fully participate in this project without worrying about running out of materials. Your support has given them the tools to think deeply, write confidently, and showcase their ideas proudly—and that makes a lasting impact on how they see themselves as learners.","fullyFundedDate":1769633718759,"projectUrl":"project/the-paper-chase/10012131/","projectTitle":"The Paper Chase!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S.

The color printer has made a powerful difference in how students understand and engage with lessons. Instead of plain black-and-white worksheets, students now receive materials with color-coded annotations, visuals, and graphic organizers that help them better comprehend complex texts and ideas. Color allows them to see structure, patterns, and key information more clearly, especially during reading and writing activities. At the same time, the headphones have given students the ability to listen to audio readings, instructional videos, and digital tools without distractions, which has greatly increased their independence and confidence as learners.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how professional and \"real\" their work feels now. Seeing their projects printed in color makes them proud of their effort and more motivated to revise and improve their work. The headphones are especially popular because they give students a sense of control over their learning—they can replay directions, listen to passages again, and work at their own pace. Several of my students who struggle with reading or attention have shown the biggest growth. With headphones, they are able to fully concentrate on audio supports and digital lessons, and with color printouts, they better understand diagrams, charts, and examples that once felt confusing. Your donation didn't just provide supplies—it gave my students tools that help them feel capable, valued, and successful every day.","fullyFundedDate":1768166315141,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-classroom/10000507/","projectTitle":"Colorful Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S.
