Your support provided essential supplies, including hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, eye wipes, colored pencils, and markers, all of which were used daily and made a meaningful difference in our students' learning environment.\r\nThe hygiene supplies—sanitizer, wipes, and eye wipes—helped us maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable classroom. Many of my students are more focused and at ease when they know their space is clean and that their basic needs are being met. Having these supplies readily available allowed us to minimize disruptions, support student well-being, and create an environment where students could focus on learning without worry.\r\nThe colored pencils and markers had an especially powerful impact on student engagement. Students used them regularly for math models, diagrams, graphic organizers, and creative activities. I saw students take pride in their work, slow down to add detail, and confidently explain their thinking using visuals they created themselves. For several students who struggle to express their ideas verbally or in writing, these materials gave them another way to communicate their understanding.\r\nOne moment that stood out to me was watching students choose to continue working during lunch and free periods simply because they were excited to finish or improve their work. When an administrator visited our classroom, she commented on how focused and engaged the students were and noted the creativity and care they put into their assignments. That level of engagement would not have been possible without the resources you provided.\r\nMost importantly, your donation helped foster a sense of pride, responsibility, and confidence among my students. By supporting both their physical needs and their learning tools, you helped create a classroom environment where students felt valued, supported, and motivated to do their best.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for investing in their success. Your generosity has had a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful for your support.\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\nBhargavi Nanduri","fullyFundedDate":1762266266175,"projectUrl":"project/6th-grade-essentials/9655710/","projectTitle":"6th Grade Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nanduri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10059207"},{"teacherId":6045235,"projectId":9353549,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and the students I teach with your generous donations.
