Students are more motivated, more collaborative, and more eager to learn. It's inspiring to see them take ownership of their learning space and discover which environments help them do their best thinking.\r\n\r\nYour donation has created a classroom that truly supports the diverse needs of every learner. I am incredibly grateful for your belief in my students and for investing in their growth. Your generosity will make a lasting difference in their daily school experience.","fullyFundedDate":1748924459003,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-helps-students-succeed/9112502/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Helps Students Succeed in Math Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Everhart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9923119_orig.jpg?crop=1387,1387,x0,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739495562526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9923119"},{"teacherId":8310154,"projectId":9222577,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has become a more organized, calm, and productive space. The storage bins, cube organizers, literature sorter, and pencil parking station have made a huge difference in the way materials are stored and accessed by students. With clearly labeled spaces for everything from notebooks to center supplies, my students can now find exactly what they need without interrupting learning time. The HOOBRO literature organizer now serves as a student mail center, where kids independently collect their work and forms each day—building personal responsibility and classroom community.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first walked into the room and saw the new organizers set up, their faces lit up with excitement. One student said, \"It looks like a real learning lab now!\" We used the cube organizer and collapsible bins to create clearly designated zones for reading materials, math games, and SEL activities. The plastic storage bins are perfect for rotating center supplies, so students can grab a bin and get to work without extra instructions. The pencil parking chart has been a game-changer—no more scrambling for pencils or distractions caused by lost supplies. These small changes have added up to big improvements in student focus, independence, and overall classroom flow.\r\n\r\nNow that everything has a place, students can spend more time learning and less time looking for materials. As we head into our next unit on informational writing, students will be using labeled bins to access reference texts, graphic organizers, and writing tools quickly and independently. The organization you helped us achieve isn't just about tidiness—it's helping students become more confident and self-sufficient learners. Thank you for making that possible!","fullyFundedDate":1743607690737,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-for-everything-keeping-our-clas/9222577/","projectTitle":"A Place for Everything: Keeping Our Classroom Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8310154_orig.png?crop=478,478,x0,y71&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686839337713","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8310154"},{"teacherId":8310154,"projectId":9229082,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a more organized, inviting, and enriching learning environment. The chair storage pockets have made a huge difference in classroom organization and student independence. With everything from notebooks to personal reading books neatly stored behind their chairs, my students are able to access their materials quickly and easily. This has drastically cut down on transition times and helped us maximize our learning minutes. It has also created a sense of ownership over their supplies, which has been especially helpful for my younger learners developing responsibility and routine.\r\n\r\nThe bilingual \"VÁMONOS\" book series and the SEL book set have become classroom favorites. These beautifully written and illustrated texts have opened up rich discussions, especially during read-alouds and literacy centers. With the \"VÁMONOS\" series, my English language learners feel seen and valued—they light up when they hear stories told in both Spanish and English, and they're more willing to participate in class. The SEL books, like Just Ask and The Name Jar, have sparked important conversations about identity, empathy, and inclusion. These texts have helped students not only build reading comprehension and vocabulary, but also critical social-emotional skills that will serve them beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nReading in our room is joyful, inclusive, and full of discovery. Students are constantly reaching for these new books during independent reading time, and several have told me that these are the first books they've truly connected with. Thank you for helping foster that love of reading—and for giving us the tools to support every learner in feeling at home in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746785251817,"projectUrl":"project/bilingual-brilliance-books-and-tools-fo/9229082/","projectTitle":"Bilingual Brilliance: Books and Tools for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8310154_orig.png?crop=478,478,x0,y71&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686839337713","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8310154"},{"teacherId":8310154,"projectId":9369869,"letterContent":"When our new math materials arrived, my students' eyes lit up with excitement.

The hands-on math kits, fraction strips, and domino sets have already transformed our math lessons into more interactive and engaging experiences. Instead of just solving problems on paper, my students are now building, sorting, and playing games that make math concepts come alive.\r\n\r\nOne of the first activities we tried was using the magnetic fraction strips to compare fractions. Students who normally shy away from math were suddenly eager to participate, moving the pieces around and explaining their thinking to classmates. The bingo games and flash cards have been a hit during math stations—students love practicing their facts while still having fun. The privacy folders have also given my students more confidence during independent work, creating a focused space for them to succeed.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are not only learning math skills but also building collaboration, problem-solving, and confidence. These resources will continue to support us throughout the year as we dive deeper into multiplication, division, and fractions.

If they did not eat enough and are still hungry, they know exactly where to go. I am not able to provide them a nice snack to be able to finish the school day.\r\n\r\nI am so excited for Halloween. I have 2 big bags of candy for my trick or treaters (aka my students). On top of all of these amazing moments, I have now started a STEM after school club for students to work on a science project.
