The book bins and storage containers have helped us organize classroom materials so students can quickly access what they need and work more independently. The scissors and washable markers are being used during hands-on lessons, interactive notebooks, and creative projects across subjects. The scented pencils have been especially motivating during writing time and are used as positive rewards for effort and focus.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were so excited—especially the colorful bins and scented pencils! They immediately noticed how much easier it was to find their supplies and stay organized. Many students shared how the new materials made their work feel \"more fun\" and helped them stay focused.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using these resources as we work on collaborative projects, writing assignments, and daily classroom routines. Having organized spaces and reliable materials allows us to spend more time learning and less time searching for supplies. Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to succeed and feel proud of their classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1765824387189,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success/9955435/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rivera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7275566_orig.jpg?crop=398,398,x12,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1592442269195","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7275566"},{"teacherId":3078791,"projectId":9468816,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in bringing this project to life! As a school psychologist working with students from kindergarten through eighth grade, I see every day how big emotions can make learning difficult. Thanks to your support, my students now have a welcoming, calming space filled with meaningful tools to help them feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe new social-emotional learning books, fidget tools, flexible seating, and art supplies are already making a difference — students are using them to express emotions, manage stress, and re-engage in learning. Even the cleaning supplies are helping us keep our space fresh and inviting for everyone who visits.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped transform my office into more than just a room — it's now a refuge where students can breathe, reflect, and build the emotional skills they need to grow both in and out of the classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this project and in my students.
