With their own seat sack, each student has a personal space to store folders, notebooks, and small supplies. This helps keep desks uncluttered and materials easy to find, which means students can transition more quickly and stay focused during lessons. The added organization has helped our classroom feel calmer, cleaner, and more efficient.\r\n\r\nWe are truly thankful to have these seat sacks as part of our learning environment. They help students build responsibility and independence, and the excitement they showed when they first received them was priceless. Our first graders love having a special place just for their things, and we appreciate how these simple tools make such a positive impact on our daily routines. Having seat sacks has been a blessing for our class, and we are grateful for the support that made them possible.","fullyFundedDate":1756317982361,"projectUrl":"project/help-first-graders-stay-organized/9486425/","projectTitle":"Help First Graders Stay Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marruffo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4633527_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503716708308","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/patricia-marruffo"},{"teacherId":4221004,"projectId":9427185,"letterContent":"We are fortunate to have a dedicated dance room at our school, but as our program continues to grow and new opportunities arise, we often find ourselves on the move.

It not only empowers them to take on responsibility but also helps nurture future leaders.\r\n\r\nWe frequently transition between our classroom, the Multi-Purpose Room, the Performing Arts Center, and various locations across campus, including blacktops and fields for school-wide performances.

Their eyes lit up at the sight of the golden microphones—instantly turning every reading or sharing moment into a celebration. These microphones have become a classroom favorite, helping even my quietest students find their voice and speak with pride. The new pencil dispenser has been another unexpected joy; students love choosing their pencils each morning, and it has turned what used to be a small frustration into a moment of independence and responsibility. From the folders and notebooks to the calming fluorescent light covers, every item has made a visible difference in how my students engage, focus, and feel throughout the day.\r\nWhat I love most about my students is their heart. They face challenges with courage and still greet every opportunity with enthusiasm and kindness. Thanks to these resources, they are learning in a space that reflects the calm, caring environment they deserve. The integrity incentives have been powerful motivators, helping students celebrate both their academic and personal growth. Every time they earn recognition for their hard work and integrity, I see their confidence bloom. Your generosity has not only provided supplies—it has created joy, calm, and pride in learning. My students know they are valued, and that belief is helping them grow into their best selves.","fullyFundedDate":1753811802519,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success-supplies-comfort-an/9468667/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success: Supplies, Comfort, and Character","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coppi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/849494"},{"teacherId":8112760,"projectId":9294036,"letterContent":"We are thankful for your donations.

You don't know how much it means to me as a 2nd year teacher as well as my class of 28 students.\r\n\r\nLast year, my first year as a teacher, my dream was to create a classroom library for my 3rd graders. We were fortunate enough to get that project funded. I received a lot of book donations from veteran teachers. However, I realized that students want specific books. If they are not interested in it, they don't want to read. This year, I had the same dilemma. My students wanted specific books and genres, so I decided to create another DonorsChoose project. I asked my students what type of books they wanted to see in our library. The projected was fully funded and when I told my class about it, they were so surprised. They couldn't believe strangers who have never met them before wanted to grant their book wish list. You all have made my class feel so special with your donations.

The tools and resources you provided have helped us focus on literacy, creativity, and emotional regulation while making learning exciting and accessible for all students. Here's how these items have impacted my classroom: The addition of resources like the SVANTTO Pen Scanner and the OCR Digital Highlighter Pen Reader has been life-changing for students with dyslexia and other reading challenges. These tools allow them to access text in ways that match their individual learning needs, building their confidence and independence. The Orton Gillingham Educators' Guide and Blast Off to Reading! provide structured, evidence-based lessons that help me teach foundational skills like decoding and phonics to struggling readers. The decodable books, such as Kingston and the Magic Stone, offer students opportunities to practice these skills while enjoying stories that capture their imagination. The Mochi Squishies, Monkey Stringy Balls, and Stretchy Bendable Men have provided students with sensory tools to manage stress and anxiety, making them more focused and ready to learn. These sensory supports have also encouraged a calmer and more inclusive classroom environment. The classroom posters, like We All Grow at Different Rates, remind students of the importance of persistence and self-acceptance, creating a space where everyone feels supported.","fullyFundedDate":1728312609175,"projectUrl":"project/empower-young-minds-reading-materials-a/8496803/","projectTitle":"Empower Young Minds: Reading Materials and Back-to-School Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weinberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2555060_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699467858161","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2555060"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_109284","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2370,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.8,"schoolId":109284,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pinecrest Academy - Cadence on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pinecrest Academy - Cadence","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/pinecrest-academy-cadence-opening-fall-2016-/109284"}
