Your kindness and willingness to contribute to our students' learning experience means more than words can truly express. Every donation, no matter the size, has a meaningful impact on the daily lives of our students and helps create a classroom environment where they can feel supported, inspired, and excited to learn. Your generosity allows us to provide valuable materials, resources, and opportunities that may not otherwise be possible, and for that we are incredibly thankful.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students are able to engage in hands-on learning experiences that encourage creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and confidence. The materials and resources provided through your donations help bring lessons to life and make learning more meaningful and enjoyable for every child in our classroom. Whether it is books, classroom supplies, educational games, technology, flexible seating, art materials, or other learning tools, each item contributes to building a positive and enriching learning environment where students can thrive academically and socially.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing students become excited about learning and gain confidence in their abilities. Your generosity directly supports those moments of growth and discovery. When students have access to engaging resources and a welcoming classroom atmosphere, they are more motivated to participate, ask questions, and challenge themselves. Your support helps us create opportunities for students to work together, problem solve, and develop important lifelong skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn addition to supporting academics, your donations also help create a sense of belonging and encouragement for our students. Many children come to school with different experiences and needs, and having access to quality classroom materials helps ensure that every student feels included and valued. Your kindness sends a powerful message to our students that there are people in the community who believe in them and care about their success. That encouragement can make a lasting impression on a child's confidence, motivation, and overall educational journey.\r\n\r\nYour generosity not only impacts our classroom today, but it also helps shape the future of our students. The experiences and opportunities you provide contribute to building a strong foundation for learning, growth, and success. As educators, we strive to create meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity and a love of learning, and your support makes that possible. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in helping us provide the best possible education for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1768166235820,"projectUrl":"project/educational-games-to-reach-student-learn/9994223/","projectTitle":"Educational Games To Reach Student Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Musovska","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9348382_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701443692494","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9348382"},{"teacherId":9348329,"projectId":10004540,"letterContent":"The supplies that were donated have been used almost every day in our classroom.

Many of them have been working extra hard to practice their reading, writing and math skills.

The flexible seating options have allowed students to choose spots that work best for their bodies and their learning styles. During our small group rotations and independent work time, I've seen students settle in more quickly and stay engaged longer. One moment that really stood out was during a reading block when a student who typically struggles to sit still chose a flexible seat and stayed focused through the entire lesson. It may sound small, but for that student, it was a huge win.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new seating, their reactions were priceless. There was so much excitement, but also a sense of pride. They immediately started talking about which seats they wanted to try and how it made the classroom feel \"different\" in the best way. It created an instant sense of ownership and responsibility. We took time to talk about expectations, and they have truly risen to the occasion. They treat the space with care because they know it was something given to them.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these seating options are helping us build stronger routines around independence, collaboration, and focus. Students are learning how to make choices that support their learning, which is such an important life skill. Whether they are working on reading comprehension, math problem solving, or collaborative projects, they now have a learning environment that supports them fully.

The snacks and supplies have helped create a space where students feel comfortable, welcomed, and excited to stay after school and learn. One of my favorite moments was during a recent practice when students were deep into a game, quietly strategizing, while others gathered around to watch and give respectful feedback. Having snacks available might seem small, but it has made a huge difference. Students are more focused, patient, and willing to stick through longer matches while building their skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw everything, they were genuinely excited. There were lots of \"Wait, this is for us?\" moments, which always gets me a little. It gave them a sense of pride and ownership over the club. They weren't just participants anymore, they felt like they were part of something special. Even students who were initially hesitant have started showing up consistently, drawn in by the welcoming environment and the relationships they are building.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we are preparing for more structured tournament play, including scrimmages with other schools and our upcoming district competition. Students are working on strategy, sportsmanship, and managing their emotions during both wins and losses, which, let's be honest, is half the battle at this age. Your support is helping these students grow not just as chess players, but as confident, thoughtful individuals. Thank you for helping create a space where they feel seen, supported, and motivated to keep learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764688968702,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-minds-through-chess-snac/9776796/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Minds Through Chess & Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9367401_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767896625545","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9367401"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82970","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":663,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":69,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":38.5,"schoolId":82970,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Myrtle Tate Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Myrtle Tate Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/myrtle-tate-elementary-school/82970"}
