You helped me purchase items that help my students learn in a more efficient space. One item I received was a laser pointer/slide advancer tool. It is wonderful because it shoots a green laser that shows up on my flat panel. My previous pointer did not show up on the screen, but now I can point things out to my students even when I'm across the room. I can also advance slides in my lesson slideshows. It is very helpful! I also ordered a new laminator. This has been wonderful because it allows me to preserve some of my students' best work. I can hang them in the hallway and send them home to be kept forever. \r\nMy students are most excited about the cushions you purchased for them. The are really enjoying sitting around the room and getting cozy with them. They work with partners on the floor quite frequently, so the cushions are getting lots of use! \r\nAnother item my students are really enjoying are the portable floor desks. They can use these to write on and it gets them out of their seats for a while. Allowing students to move around and work in a new space really helps their focus, so thank you very much.","fullyFundedDate":1770105431790,"projectUrl":"project/restock-my-classroom/10002356/","projectTitle":"Restock My Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Loberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6964244_orig.jpg?crop=308,309,x0,y24&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693179530328","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6964244"},{"teacherId":9409136,"projectId":10011484,"letterContent":"I cannot express how thankful I am for your incredible generosity.

With your donation, I purchased lots of colored paper. Paper for making photo copies more interesting. Construction paper of all different colors: pastels to bright to holiday themes. Unfortunately, our school doesn't have a large paper supply, and certainly not in a variety of colors that enhance art projects. These materials have provided these luxury items to my first graders. Additional basic supplies to help my students learn that are very much appreciated were the dry erase markers, laminating pouches, and the Dr. Seuss pencils. \r\n As our school budget has decreased not only are my first grade students impacted by this donation, so will my students for next year.

Our butterfly pavilion was a total blast for all students. Students enjoyed exploring the lifecycle of a butterly while watching caterpillars go through the stages. We saw all eight butterflies emerge as we watched them in the classroom and then released them to the real world. Having the magnifying glasses has greatly improved our Science center with the ability for all students to be able to view plants, soils, ingredients, and insects at a more in-depth view. The insects that were donated to our class have encouraged all students to show an interest in the parts of each insect. \r\n\r\nWe truly are thrilled to have so many new things donated to our classroom to help all students succeed!","fullyFundedDate":1768069888522,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-fun-with-science/9990842/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating & Fun with Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zollars","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8115144_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657594915172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8115144"},{"teacherId":10402520,"projectId":10017254,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our \"Fun with Math\" project!
