These stories are more than just colorful pages; they are a gateway to literacy that captures the imagination of our young readers like few other series can. Pete's \"cool\" and resilient attitude provides such a wonderful example for children, teaching them to keep moving forward and singing their song no matter what challenges they face.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has already brought so many bright smiles to our classrooms and library shelves. Because of your kindness, our students have the chance to fall in love with reading through groovy adventures and catchy rhythms. It is supporters like you who help us foster a lifelong passion for learning and ensure that every child has access to high-quality, engaging literature.","fullyFundedDate":1768103150084,"projectUrl":"project/favorite-book-characters/9991112/","projectTitle":"Favorite Book Characters","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C Yates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8115335_orig.png?crop=355,355,x0,y15&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633486786030","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8115335"},{"teacherId":8129654,"projectId":10018054,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support! Because of you, our students are enjoying new football nets and obstacle course equipment in PE, and it has made a huge difference in our classes.\r\n\r\nWe use the equipment during games, stations, and fitness activities. One of the highlights has been watching students go through the obstacle courses and practice their throwing skills with the football nets. They were so excited when they first saw everything, and they couldn't wait to try it out! It has helped students feel more confident, stay active, and have fun while learning.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to keep using these materials in future lessons and build even more skills through teamwork and movement.

It's hard to keep replacing pencils, when an eraser top will extend the life of the pencil.\r\n\r\nI included an anchor chart that I was able to make with the paper that was provided. The anchor chart will keep track of the students that turn in completed homework. When the chart is close to completion or 3 weeks, whichever comes first, I will draw a letter and number. Whomever is in that spot will get to spin the prize wheel. I will do this for four students at a time.\r\n\r\nThe other anchor chart that I included is for our science unit.

I work with children ages 3-12. The students were very excited to play the social emotional games to help them understand their own emotions as well as learning empathy about others' emotions.\r\n\r\nWith the workbooks, we work together through trauma, as well as every day stressors to learn not only coping skills but how to navigate life's tricky situations on their own. \r\n\r\nMany of my students experience sensory overload or underwhelm and this can cause what looks like behavior issues. With the sensory tools, I help students understand how to calm or elevate their senses to help them function in a healthy way in all environments.\r\n\r\nBeing able to laminate important information for reuse and safekeeping is so important to use for a lifetime. Also being able to laminiate student master pieces is so meaningful for students.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity in helping today's students, but so many more students to come.","fullyFundedDate":1770993908361,"projectUrl":"project/creating-peace-and-lifelong-learners/9988965/","projectTitle":"Creating Peace and Lifelong Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1475774"},{"teacherId":7962651,"projectId":9990779,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your incredible generosity. Because of you, our classroom has been transformed into a more inclusive, engaging, and sensory-friendly environment. Your contributions provided everything from the Pacific Playtents Sensory Tunnel and Theo the Therapy Dog to essential tools like Safety Scissors and Magnetic Learning Numbers.\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, the excitement in the room was electric! My students' eyes widened as we unpacked the Light-Up Bowling Set and the Giant Classroom Timer. The biggest \"wow\" moment, however, came when I expanded the Sensory Tunnel. A few of my more reserved students immediately gravitated toward it, realizing they finally had a dedicated \"recharge\" space that felt safe and fun. One student hugged Theo the Therapy Dog and didn't let go for the rest of the afternoon—the lavender scent and weighted feel provided instant comfort.\r\n One of my students, who usually struggles with the pressure of timed assignments, found the visual countdown of the timer much less intimidating than a ticking clock. When they used their buzzer to answer a question correctly, the look of pure pride on their face was priceless. It wasn't just about math; it was about the confidence that comes with having the right tools to succeed.\r\nWe will be using the Photo Nameplates to help students claim their personal space in the room.\r\nWe are also incorporating the Fidget Fun Kit into our daily \"Calm Down Corner\" rotations to teach self-regulation. Your investment in these Lakeshore and Kaplan materials has provided my students with more than just supplies—you've given them a classroom where they feel understood and supported.

Every student has been willingly helpful with clean up at the end of the day of both wobble stools, colorful stools, and headphones. All of the colorful materials are simply pleasant to the eye in the classroom.\r\nWe have been using all of the materials daily. Now with the multicolored headphones, every child has a pair of headphones to use with chromebooks on a daily basis. We have a tool table next to our computer card where students responsibly store them back to their spot. We use the dry erase markers DAILY and I feel as if these will last for the remainder of the year and possibly into next year. The thin dry erase markers are especially nice for detailed, whole group whiteboard work.\r\nThe magnetic book stands help me keep organized with the text that we use every day, which changes week to week. It is a nice place to showcase the focal texts every day, and a quick place to find them easily when needed. I am filled with gratitude for having received all of these materials.
