The smiles on my students' faces when they saw the new games and activities is something I will never forget. \r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to create their new Breakout accounts. They quickly went into detective mode, looking for clues and trying to crack the codes. Students were collaborating and helping each other. I love using Breakout in my class as students are working on their problem solving skills and thinking critically. \r\n\r\nThe Legos and clip connect materials are a class favorite for a lot of my students. Students started creating right away and were so proud to show off their finished products.

Your contributions have made a tangible difference in our students' education by providing us with a valuable new resource.\r\n\r\nHow We're Using Our New Resources\r\nThe student clocks you funded are a fantastic tool for our whole grade level. These clocks help us make learning how to tell time more interactive and engaging for every student. Now, each child has their own clock to use, which has been a game changer. We can work together as a class, and every student can actively participate in the lesson by moving the hands on their own clock. This hands on approach makes a sometimes tricky concept much easier to grasp.\r\n\r\nDuring a recent lesson on telling time to the nearest five minutes, I asked a question, and I saw all the students excitedly manipulate the hands on their individual clocks. Instead of just a few students raising their hands to answer, everyone was actively engaged, showing me their answers on their own clock faces. This kind of active participation shows me that they're truly understanding the lesson and building confidence in a fun way.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they first saw the boxes of clocks. Their eyes lit up, and they immediately wanted to get their hands on them. The best part has been seeing how each student takes ownership of their clock, practicing with it during our lessons and even using it to challenge their friends.","fullyFundedDate":1746785656763,"projectUrl":"project/tick-tock-its-math-oclock/9226003/","projectTitle":"Tick-Tock, It's Math O'Clock!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stuff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9051062_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721336793994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9051062"},{"teacherId":9051062,"projectId":9045001,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous contribution to our project. Your support has been instrumental in preparing our classroom for a successful school year, and I wanted to share with you a more personal look at how your donations have been put to use.\r\n\r\nThis project was mainly for me, the teacher, to get the classroom ready for my students. I have been using the new laminator, cutter, and label maker to create materials that are durable, organized, and engaging for my students. I've taken some pictures of me using the new equipment, and I'm excited to share them with you.\r\n\r\nThe laminator protects and preserves my teaching materials. I've laminated everything from flashcards and learning games to classroom signs and student work. This means that when students use these materials, they'll last all year long, and they won't get ripped or damaged. This saves me time and allows the students to handle the materials without me worrying about them getting destroyed.\r\n\r\nThe cutter allows me to create precise, clean cuts on everything from construction paper to card stock. This makes my lesson materials look professional and neat, which is important for creating a welcoming and organized learning environment. I've used it to make bulletin board letters, shape cutouts for geometry lessons, and more. This makes it easier for me to prepare materials that are ready to use and look great.\r\n\r\nThe label maker has been a game changer for organizing our classroom. I've labeled everything from supply bins and book baskets to student desks and cubbies. This makes it easy for students to find what they need and put things back in their proper place. A well organized classroom helps us all stay focused on learning, and it teaches students the important life skill of staying organized.\r\n\r\nWhile the kids haven't been in the classroom with this new gear yet, they've already seen the impact! The materials I've been creating are more colorful, engaging, and professional-looking than ever before. For them, the most exciting part will be seeing the new learning games, puzzles, and interactive displays I've been able to create. They'll also be excited about the clear, easy-to-read labels that help them take ownership of their classroom space.","fullyFundedDate":1746785924479,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-support-a-thriving-classroom/9045001/","projectTitle":"Tools to Support a Thriving Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stuff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9051062_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721336793994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9051062"},{"teacherId":9051062,"projectId":8581728,"letterContent":"Thank You for Making a Difference in Our Classroom!\r\nI am thrilled to share the incredible impact your generosity has had on our classroom! Thanks to your support, our new classroom rug has already become a centerpiece of our learning environment, fostering a warm and inviting space where students come together to learn, share, and grow.\r\n\r\nWhen the rug was first unrolled, their excitement in the room was palpable. The students were amazed and immediately claimed their favorite spot. Some said, \"It feels like home!\" while others were eager to sit down and dive into our morning circle time.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the rug for so many activities it's where we gather for morning meetings, story-time, group discussions, and collaborative projects. Recently, during our science lesson on habitats, students worked in small groups on the rug, sharing ideas and building dioramas to represent different ecosystems. It's heartwarming to see how this one addition has transformed our classroom dynamic, creating a shared space for curiosity and connection.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, this rug will continue to be the hub of our classroom. Whether it's brainstorming during writing workshops or playing educational games, the possibilities are endless. Most importantly, it has given my students a sense of community and belonging, which is so essential for their growth.\r\nThank you for being a part of our journey and for making such a meaningful contribution to our learning space.
