The new books have expanded our classroom library, giving students greater access to high-interest texts and encouraging a stronger love of reading. Fresh classroom supplies and privacy folders have helped students stay focused and confident in their work, especially during independent tasks and assessments.\r\n\r\nHands-on materials have had a powerful impact on student learning and collaboration. Students are using them to build, problem-solve, and think creatively while strengthening teamwork and critical thinking skills. These materials have made learning more interactive and enjoyable, helping students stay motivated and excited to participate each day.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the new teacher desk has improved classroom organization and efficiency, allowing for smoother daily routines and better support for students. Overall, this project has created a welcoming, well-equipped classroom where students feel supported, inspired, and ready to learn.

The bookshelves helped organize our growing collection of books, making it easier for students to find reading materials that interest them and encouraging independent reading. With books clearly displayed and accessible, students were more motivated to explore new genres and take ownership of their learning space. The addition of new headphones also supported focused learning, allowing students to engage with digital lessons, audiobooks, and enrichment activities without distractions.\r\n\r\nThe new pencils and board games further strengthened our classroom community. Having an ample supply of pencils reduced interruptions and ensured that all students were prepared to learn each day. Meanwhile, the board games provided meaningful opportunities for collaboration, problem-solving, and social skill development. Students learned to take turns, communicate respectfully, and think critically while enjoying structured play. Together, these resources created a more organized, engaging, and supportive classroom where students felt excited and equipped to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1698832711709,"projectUrl":"project/a-few-new-things-for-our-class/7978366/","projectTitle":"A Few New Things For Our Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7830296_orig.jpg?crop=1154,1154,x122,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620164297917","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7830296"},{"teacherId":7830296,"projectId":9196594,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom library.

Students are more motivated to complete reading activities and are spending more time engaged in our reading lessons.

Because of you, my classroom now has a library that truly belongs to my students—a space filled with stories, ideas, and opportunities they didn't have before. Your support did more than add books to shelves; it created excitement, confidence, and a love of reading that I see growing every single day.\r\n\r\nBefore this project, many of my students had limited access to books that reflected their interests, reading levels, and backgrounds. Now, they walk into the classroom and immediately gravitate toward the library, eager to explore. I see students recommending books to one another, talking about characters, and choosing to read during free moments. For some, this is the first time reading has felt enjoyable instead of intimidating. That shift alone has been incredibly powerful.\r\n\r\nThis library has also changed the way learning feels in our classroom. Students are more engaged during lessons because they have texts they can connect to. Our discussions are richer, our writing is stronger, and students are more willing to take risks because they feel supported by the stories they read. Reading is no longer just an assignment—it is becoming part of who they are as learners.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, your donation has had a meaningful emotional impact. The library is a calm, welcoming space where students can reset, reflect, and feel safe. Some students use reading as a way to manage stress or emotions, while others see books as windows into experiences beyond their own. These moments of quiet focus and personal connection are priceless, and they happen daily because of you.\r\n\r\nWhat means the most to my students is knowing that people they have never met cared enough to invest in their education. When I told them their classroom library was made possible by donors, their faces lit up. They feel seen, valued, and encouraged. That sense of support builds confidence and motivates them to work harder, try new things, and believe in themselves.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your kindness has left a lasting impact that will extend far beyond this school year. Every book opened, every conversation sparked, and every student who discovers a love of reading is part of your legacy. My students and I are deeply grateful for your generosity and for helping us build a classroom where learning truly comes alive.","fullyFundedDate":1634622205486,"projectUrl":"project/book-nook-necessities/5895426/","projectTitle":"Book Nook Necessities!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Petersen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8122658_orig.jpg?crop=3009,3009,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634596904738","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8122658"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83044","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":193,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":62.9,"schoolId":83044,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Panaca Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Panaca Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/lincoln-public-schools/panaca-elementary-school/83044"}
