It's written to clearly answer every prompt, show gratitude implicitly, and vividly bring donors into your classroom.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nThe impact of my DonorsChoose project has been felt immediately and deeply in my classroom. The resources provided—pencils, pencil sharpeners, Clorox wipes, headphones, zipper pouches, party favors used as incentives, laminating pouches, whiteboard cleaner, and a jellyfish lamp—have transformed both our daily routines and the overall learning environment. These items may seem small on their own, but together they have created a classroom that is more organized, engaging, and supportive of student success.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are using these new resources every single day. The pencils and sharpeners ensure that students are always prepared to learn without interruptions. Instead of stopping instruction to search for supplies, students can independently sharpen a pencil and stay focused on their work. The zipper pouches have helped students stay organized by keeping their materials in one place, which has been especially helpful for students who struggle with organization. Headphones are being used during independent work time, assessments, and digital learning activities, allowing students to concentrate and work at their own pace without distractions. The Clorox wipes and whiteboard cleaner have helped us maintain a clean, healthy learning space, and students take pride in helping keep our classroom tidy.\r\n\r\nOne specific classroom moment that truly highlights the impact of this project occurred during a recent reading and writing lesson. Students were working on a creative writing project where they drafted, revised, and published short stories. Using the laminating pouches, I was able to preserve their final drafts, turning their work into durable \"published\" pieces that we displayed around the room. Students used the headphones to listen to calming background music while writing, which helped many of them stay focused and relaxed. When they saw their laminated stories displayed, their faces lit up with pride. One student said, \"It feels like I'm a real author.\" That moment alone made the project incredibly meaningful.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and contagious. The jellyfish lamp was a huge hit and instantly became a calming centerpiece in our classroom. Students were fascinated by the gentle movement and soft light, and it has since become part of our calm-down corner. When students feel overwhelmed, they can take a short break near the lamp to regulate their emotions before returning to learning. The party favors used as incentives also brought big smiles. Students were motivated to work hard, follow expectations, and support one another, knowing their efforts would be recognized in a positive way.\r\n\r\nThrough their contributions, donors truly received a peek into our classroom. These resources are not just supplies; they are tools that support learning, responsibility, motivation, and emotional well-being. Every time a student grabs a pencil, puts on headphones, wipes down a desk, or earns a small incentive, your generosity is part of that moment.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students involve continuing our current lessons with even more confidence and engagement. We are moving into collaborative projects that require organization, focus, and creativity—skills that are now better supported because of these materials. Students will continue to use the headphones for differentiated instruction, the laminator to showcase their work, and the calm classroom tools to support positive behavior and emotional growth. These resources will have a lasting impact throughout the school year and beyond.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, my classroom is a more welcoming, functional, and inspiring place to learn. My students feel supported, valued, and excited to come to school each day. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in our classroom and in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1768583999231,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-learn-incentives-to-succeed/9994974/","projectTitle":"Tools to Learn, Incentives to Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Feldman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5262204_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522436171345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/marci-feldman"},{"teacherId":9095250,"projectId":8235250,"letterContent":"Having my project funded has made a meaningful difference in my classroom and for my students. The past two classes I have taught have greatly benefited from being able to use their own headphones during class. We use them daily, and this has been especially impactful since many of my students are in need of basic supplies. Having consistent access to their own materials has helped them stay focused and engaged in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe privacy folders have also been incredibly helpful during testing. Many students are able to concentrate much better, which allows them to truly demonstrate what they know. Creating a calm, supportive testing environment has made a noticeable difference in their confidence and performance.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and for supporting my classroom.

They come to practice excited about their lesson in soccer. When they saw the goals instead of having to use cones to play with they just kept kicking the balls into them. Speaking of the balls they now can each practice with a ball, making the drills so much easier to do especially when we are working on individual skills like shooting and dribbling. I love seeing their faces light up at everything they are able to do now. When it comes to kicking, passing, dribbling, and just enjoying the game of soccer you have done it for these kids.","fullyFundedDate":1744032815808,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-hearts-through-after-school-cl/9068125/","projectTitle":"Capturing Hearts Through After-School Club Soccer","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pfister","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5168604_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x281,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634699421069","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5168604"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55314","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":609,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.4,"schoolId":55314,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wing & Lilly Fong Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wing & Lilly Fong Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/lilly-wing-fong-elementary-school/55314"}
