The Play-Doh has become a favorite for hands-on learning during our word study and math activities — students love sculpting arrays and spelling words in a fun, tactile way. The Expo dry-erase markers are used constantly during math problem-solving and small-group instruction, allowing every student to confidently share their thinking and erase mistakes with ease as they learn.\r\n\r\nThe FrogTape has helped us transform our classroom space, making learning stations and anchor charts organized and engaging. The glue sticks have been perfect for interactive notebooks and craft projects, keeping our classroom running smoothly without the usual \"sticky situations.\" The snack packs of Goldfish and Cheez-Its have provided much-needed nourishment for students who need an extra boost during our busy school days — your contribution helped ensure that every child could focus on learning rather than hunger.\r\n\r\nWe also can't forget the fidget toys and squishies, which have been a wonderful tool for students who need a moment to self-regulate or refocus. These simple items have helped foster a calmer, more inclusive learning space where every student can thrive.\r\n\r\nFinally, our shared reading of The Hundred Dresses has sparked meaningful discussions about kindness, empathy, and standing up for others — lessons that go far beyond the classroom walls. Watching my students make those connections has been incredibly rewarding, and it's all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just supplies; you've given my students the tools, comfort, and inspiration to learn with joy every single day. From the bottom of my heart — and from all of my students who benefit daily from your kindness — thank you for believing in us and investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1756057766454,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-needed-for-amazing/9605088/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials Needed for Amazing Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Myers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5709264"},{"teacherId":6664428,"projectId":8875554,"letterContent":"I am greatly humbled by your kindness and generosity.

We have started on both Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. The students absolutely love both.\r\n\r\nThrough this donation, I have been able to spread a love of reading to my students who have enormous potential and imaginations.

Your contribution has made a significant difference in the lives of my students with reading disabilities.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my classroom is now equipped with decodable chapter books specifically designed to meet the unique needs of struggling readers. These books simplify the learning process by focusing on phonetic patterns and gradually increasing in complexity, providing my students with the tools they need to build confidence and proficiency step by step.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these resources is already evident. I have seen my students engage more enthusiastically with reading, taking pride in their progress and embracing challenges with determination. The relatable stories and accessible format of these books have not only motivated them to practice their skills but also sparked a genuine love for reading—something many of them had struggled to find before.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we are creating an inclusive classroom environment where every student feels empowered to succeed. Your generosity has helped bridge the gap for my students, allowing them to move closer to their same-age peers in literacy skills and academic achievement.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us build a foundation for lifelong learning.
