The pencils, erasers, and cleaning supplies ensure that my students have a fully stocked, healthy environment to focus on their learning every day. Even more importantly, your support brought incredibly exciting new books, such as the Dog Man series, into our classroom library. You should have seen the smiles on my students' faces when we opened the boxes! These books are absolute favorites that ignite a lifelong love of reading. Because of your kindness, my students have the tools they need to succeed.

The sound wall cards and Fundations visuals support both whole-group and small-group instruction, helping students stretch words, identify sounds, and explain their thinking. The dry-erase phonemic awareness sheets have made practice more hands-on and engaging, allowing students to actively manipulate sounds and build confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were excited and eager to use them right away. They noticed the visuals immediately and asked to use the sound wall during independent work. Celebrating their effort with reading stickers has also motivated students and made practicing reading skills feel positive and rewarding.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue applying these tools as they decode and write words in connected text. These resources will remain a consistent support as students strengthen their reading skills, gain independence, and grow in confidence as readers.","fullyFundedDate":1766508427645,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-with-fundations/9966756/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers With Fundations & Sound Walls","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Liakos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8460771"},{"teacherId":2192983,"projectId":9675272,"letterContent":"The generous donations made to our DonorsChoose project have had a meaningful and lasting impact on my students and our classroom environment. Because of this support, every student now has a comfortable seat of their own. The new seating allows students to sit correctly and maintain proper posture, which is especially important as they learn to write letters and develop fine motor skills. Having appropriate seating has made a noticeable difference in both student comfort and focus during lessons.\r\n\r\nIn addition, every student in the classroom now has a new chair, ensuring that all students are included and treated equally. The chairs are easy to stack and put aside, which has helped us keep the classroom clean, organized, and presentable. This has made transitions smoother and has given students a sense of responsibility and pride in taking care of their learning space.\r\n\r\nWhen the chairs arrived, the students were beyond excited. They were eager to try them out and immediately noticed how much better they felt sitting and working at their tables. Many students expressed how thankful they were and were amazed that people they had never met were willing to give so generously to support their learning. Their excitement and appreciation truly showed how powerful this act of kindness was, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758406132764,"projectUrl":"project/have-a-seat-lets-learn/9675272/","projectTitle":"Have a Seat, Let's Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marotte","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2192983"},{"teacherId":9372984,"projectId":9789067,"letterContent":"The addition of personal whiteboards and headphones has made a noticeable impact on our classroom learning environment. Many families are familiar with technology at home, but these tools play a very specific and important role in helping students stay focused and engaged during instruction. The headphones allow students to work independently on online reading and math programs without distraction, making it easier for each child to work at their own pace. At the same time, the whiteboards provide a hands-on way to practice skills during lessons, helping students show their thinking quickly and confidently in a low-stress way.\r\n\r\nStudents have been especially excited about having their own materials. The whiteboards have become a favorite during math time. Students love being able to solve problems, erase, and try again without fear of making mistakes. The headphones have also brought a sense of ownership and responsibility, and students enjoy choosing quiet spaces where they can focus on their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and support. Your contribution has brought excitement, focus, and new learning opportunities into our classroom. Because of you, my students have the tools they need to feel confident and successful each day.
