These items are needed by both myself and my students. With budgets being tight this year, they are things we would have had to do without.\r\n\r\nI spend a lot of my own money to make sure that I have the supplies I need as well as supplies my student need. My students frequently go without in life as my school serves a predominantly low income population. I would hate for that to extend to school supplies. \r\nIt is with heartfelt gratitude that I express my thank you for making these items possible.","fullyFundedDate":1788567484508,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-history-class/10577419/","projectTitle":"Help My History Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9167362"},{"teacherId":9617895,"projectId":10547760,"letterContent":"The resources from this project have given my students a welcoming space to take a break from the stresses of the school day and focus on their well-being. In our Wellness Club, students have been able to use the new materials for activities such as coloring, puzzles, games, journaling, and other relaxing activities. They were excited to see the variety of materials available and quickly began choosing activities that interested them.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts has been seeing students who may be quiet or stressed during the school day become more comfortable, relaxed, and willing to connect with others. The resources have helped create an environment where students know they can come in, unplug, and simply have some time for themselves.\r\n\r\nWe will continue using these materials throughout the school year during Wellness Club to support mindfulness, stress management, positive connections, and healthy ways to unwind.

The excitement and curiosity in the classroom made these lessons much more engaging and memorable.\r\n\r\nThese resources gave my students opportunities to experiment, make observations, and connect what they were seeing to the science concepts we were learning.

Instead of relying solely on worksheets or commercially produced materials, I have been able to make resources that are specifically designed for my students and the concepts we are studying.\r\n\r\nThe equipment has also increased student engagement.

It has allowed me to bring creativity, personalization, and hands-on learning into my science classroom while making learning materials more engaging and accessible.
