Your kindness has already made a monumental impact on our classroom, and I wanted to take a moment to share just how much your support means to us.\r\n\r\nA first-grade classroom is a whirlwind of energy, curiosity, and rapid growth. Our days are filled with the magic of learning—from discovering new phonics sounds and solving math problems to creating beautiful art and building incredible towers. With so much happening at once, a little bit of structure goes a very long way, and that's exactly what your donation has provided.\r\n\r\nThe beautiful 3-tier carts are more than just rolling shelves; they are now the heart of our table organization. This instant access and mobility have revolutionized how we transition between subjects. No more fumbling for materials—everything is right where we need it, which makes our time more efficient and our learning more fluid. For first-graders who thrive on routine and clear expectations, a smoother transition means more time for them to focus on the joy of learning.\r\n\r\nAnd the organization baskets? They are a complete game-changer! We've used them to create dedicated stations for our math tool boxes. The kids now know exactly where to find their materials and where to put them back. This may seem like a small detail, but for a six-year-old, the ability to independently find and use their materials is a huge step toward building responsibility and confidence. When they can manage their own space, they feel more in control of their learning journey. It empowers them to be active participants in keeping our classroom a clean, calm, and productive environment. This newfound sense of ownership is something we work on all year, and your donation has been an invaluable tool in that process.\r\n\r\nBeyond the practical benefits, your donation sends a powerful message to my students. It tells them that they are seen, that their education is important, and that there are people in the community who believe in them and are willing to invest in their future. This feeling of being supported and valued is perhaps the most important lesson of all. It fosters a sense of community and care that extends beyond the walls of our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtfulness has brought order to our world and joy to our hearts. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and for helping to create a space where my students can be organized, feel successful, and truly love learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746686360472,"projectUrl":"project/functional-first-grade/9271061/","projectTitle":"Functional First Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. M.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp187456_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706139612453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-manterola"},{"teacherId":187456,"projectId":8754481,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of headphones and books to my 1st-grade classroom. Your thoughtful support means so much to me and my students and will have a lasting impact on their learning and growth.\r\n\r\nThe headphones you provided will make an incredible difference in how my students engage with their lessons. Technology plays such an important role in education today, and having access to headphones allows my students to focus on individualized learning activities. Whether they're practicing phonics skills, listening to read-aloud stories, or participating in interactive math games, the headphones help create an environment where every child can concentrate and work at their own pace. Your gift helps ensure that all of my students have an equal opportunity to thrive in a setting that meets their unique needs.\r\n\r\nThe books you donated are equally impactful. Books are the gateway to imagination, creativity, and curiosity, and seeing my students' excitement when they explore a new story is one of the greatest joys of teaching. Your donation has added so much to our classroom library, and I know the students will treasure each and every book. They will now have the chance to dive into new adventures, discover fascinating facts, and connect with characters that inspire them. It's wonderful to see how books can light up a child's world, and your kindness has made that possible for my class.\r\n\r\nYour donation is more than just a contribution of materials—it's an investment in the success and happiness of these young learners. Every day, I strive to create an environment where my students feel supported, valued, and excited to learn. Your generosity has helped me provide them with tools that make their educational experience more meaningful and enjoyable. The headphones and books you donated will be used daily and will make a positive difference in their academic journey.\r\n\r\nI also want you to know how much it means to me personally to have the support of individuals like you who care about education and the success of our children. Teaching is truly a labor of love, and knowing that others are willing to contribute to my classroom reminds me of the kindness and generosity that exist in our community. It motivates me to continue giving my best to my students every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping to enrich our classroom and for supporting these young learners in their journey to becoming confident, curious, and compassionate individuals. Your generosity does not go unnoticed, and I hope you know how much of a difference you are making. I am so grateful for your thoughtful donation, and I know my students will benefit greatly from your kindness.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself and my 1st graders, thank you again for your incredible support!","fullyFundedDate":1727909346610,"projectUrl":"project/a-love-for-reading/8754481/","projectTitle":"A Love For Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. M.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp187456_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706139612453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-manterola"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_120986","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":853,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.7,"schoolId":120986,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jan Jones Blackhurst Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jan Jones Blackhurst Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/jones-blackhurst-elementary-opens-fall-2017-/120986"}
