Because of your generosity, my students will soon have access to resources that will support both their academic growth and our positive classroom community.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrive, I know my students will be thrilled to see the flexible seating donuts. They will have the opportunity to choose comfortable seating options that will help them stay focused and engaged during independent reading, small-group instruction, and other learning activities. I can't wait to see the excitement on their faces as they experience a classroom designed with their success in mind.\r\n\r\nThe Shifting the Balance (Grades 3–5) professional resource will strengthen my reading instruction by providing practical Science of Reading strategies that I will incorporate into daily literacy lessons. These new instructional practices will help my students build stronger foundational reading skills, improve comprehension, and grow into more confident readers throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nThe glow party supplies will also play an important role in celebrating students' positive behavior through our PBIS program. As students work together, demonstrate responsibility, and make positive choices, they will earn exciting classroom celebrations that recognize their hard work. These celebrations will help build motivation, strengthen our classroom community, and create lasting memories that reinforce the importance of kindness, perseverance, and teamwork.\r\n\r\nIn the coming months, these resources will become part of our everyday classroom experience. My students will use them to learn, collaborate, and celebrate their achievements while continuing to grow both academically and socially. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where every child will have the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine. Your generosity will make a lasting difference in their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1786068609289,"projectUrl":"project/learning-growing-and-glowing/10420656/","projectTitle":"Learning, Growing, and Glowing!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bailey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10396594_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777329752781","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-bailey-class"},{"teacherId":10396594,"projectId":10261466,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom supply project and helping us prepare for a successful school year.

From chair bands that help students stay focused, to personalized name tags that build classroom community, to special pens used for our \"Pen Party\" rewards, every item has already made a positive impact on our students' daily experience.\r\n\r\nThese supplies may seem simple, but they play a huge role in helping students feel excited and ready to learn. The chair bands have been especially helpful for students who benefit from movement while working, allowing them to stay focused during lessons and independent work time. The name tags have helped students quickly learn one another's names and build stronger classroom connections, creating a welcoming environment from the very beginning of the year. Our students are also highly motivated by the Pen Party rewards, which encourage responsibility, effort, and positive classroom behavior while making writing activities feel extra special and fun.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported, motivated, and prepared to succeed.

Students eagerly dive into each chapter, excited to discuss characters, make predictions, and connect with the story. Your generosity has helped create an environment where reading feels exciting, meaningful, and fun.\r\n\r\nBeyond building a love for reading, these novels have introduced important literacy skills and rich academic conversations. Students are learning how to identify themes, analyze character development, make inferences, and support their thinking with evidence from the text. The books have also sparked tremendous curiosity about Greek mythology and history, encouraging students to explore connections between ancient myths and the modern world. Reading in our classroom now includes lively discussions, partner activities, creative projects, and thoughtful reflection.\r\n\r\nMany students have opted to read Percy Jackson during free time, and some are diving into the rest of the series. Seeing students connect so deeply with literature has been incredibly rewarding.

The students immediately noticed how much brighter, more organized, and more welcoming our classroom felt.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboard has quickly become one of the most-used tools in our classroom. Students use it during math rotations, partner activities, and class discussions to share their thinking and work together. The new markers and supplies have also made independent work and creative projects so much more engaging. One of the students' favorite moments was getting to enjoy a fun warm treat together using the microwave during a classroom celebration — it made our classroom feel even more like a community.\r\n\r\nThese resources continue to support our students every single day. As we move into our final projects and end-of-year activities, students are using the materials during collaborative learning, writing projects, review games, and hands-on activities.

They have also been practicing blending three-letter words using the Crayon CVC and Elves pop-it game, which has made learning both fun and effective.\r\n\r\nAdditionally , the flexible seating has been a game changer in our classroom.

These wobbly stools are created so kiddos who need to move while learning can do so in a safe manner and my kiddos loved them! \r\n This project also helped me purchase a couple of replacement headphones for our listening center.

The accessible seating has been a huge benefit for seating choices during small group work in my classroom. My students have control and choices around what chair they will benefit from the most. It's provided an opportunity to discuss personal choice and self-advocacy for what each student needs on any particular today. This important social-emotional skill has been supported by the materials provided and it's made such a positive impact in the classroom. The puzzles, storage systems, and individual materials for my classroom have enabled me to extend their learning with quality materials and offer hands on materials during small group work.\r\n When the materials arrived, the students were so excited to jump in and start using them. An entire day of center choices was available because of the variety of materials sent for our kindergarten students. The materials are all such high quality and came so nicely organized that my entire classroom takes such great care of them and uses the storage systems to continue caring for the materials in a way that works for everyone. Many of the materials are asked to be brought out every week as well. \r\n As my kindergarten students continue learning new skills, related to social-emotional needs and outside of those needs, and mastering our curriculum, hands on and open-ended materials are ones that can be used far beyond one moment of time. We foster creativity and self-reflection in the classroom and a continuation of materials that support those skills are always something we work on creating or providing for the entire classroom. These types of materials are also accessible for all capabilities and strengths or challenges for each individual student, regardless of what skills are currently being worked on.","fullyFundedDate":1768153225217,"projectUrl":"project/accessible-seating-support-sel/9995073/","projectTitle":"Accessible Seating Support SEL!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10108208_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754141327254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/arryell-rodriguez"},{"teacherId":10405034,"projectId":10024807,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of the colored printer!
