Since our desks were on wheels, they would often move around during lessons, group work, and independent practice. Having the stoppers has made a big difference in helping our classroom feel more organized, safe, and focused. Students are now able to work at their desks without constantly needing to adjust or move them back into place.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the stoppers, they immediately noticed how much easier it was to sit and work comfortably. Many students were excited that the desks stayed in place, especially during partner work and activities where they needed to write, use calculators, or work with materials. This helped students focus more on the lesson instead of being distracted by moving desks.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our students are to continue using our improved classroom setup during math lessons, review activities, and collaborative projects. With the desks staying in place, students can participate more smoothly in group discussions, problem-solving tasks, and hands-on learning. Your donation has helped create a more comfortable and productive learning environment for my students, and we are very grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1770226660487,"projectUrl":"project/steady-desks-steady-minds/9942676/","projectTitle":"Steady Desks, Steady Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Iraggi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10372448_orig.png?crop=566,566,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764775604632","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10372448"},{"teacherId":10372448,"projectId":9943536,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping provide batteries for our classroom calculators. This may seem like a small resource, but it has already made a big impact on our students. With working calculators available, students are able to fully participate in math lessons, practice multi-step problems, check their work, and build confidence when solving challenging questions. The calculators have been especially helpful during our review lessons and NJSLA-style practice, where students need to focus on problem-solving strategies rather than worrying about whether they have the right tools.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw that the calculators were ready to use, they were excited and relieved. It created a smoother classroom routine because students could get started right away without sharing limited materials or waiting for a calculator that worked. One specific moment that stood out was during a lesson on volume, where students were able to use the calculators to support their computations while still explaining their reasoning and showing their steps.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our students are to continue using these calculators during our current math units, review activities, and practice assessments. Having reliable calculators helps students feel more prepared and independent, especially when working through rigorous, real-world math problems. Your donation has helped remove a barrier for our students and has made our classroom more supportive, prepared, and ready for learning. Thank you again for investing in our students and their success.","fullyFundedDate":1769191993279,"projectUrl":"project/math-powered-by-aa-energy/9943536/","projectTitle":"Math Powered by AA Energy”","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Iraggi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10372448_orig.png?crop=566,566,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764775604632","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10372448"},{"teacherId":10369610,"projectId":9941504,"letterContent":"Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom. With these new resources, I've been able to design more differentiated learning experiences that meet students where they are and support a variety of learning styles. For example, during a recent reading and response project, students were able to choose how they demonstrated their understanding—some used hands-on materials to build story maps, others used visual aids to illustrate key themes, and a few opted for written reflections with the support of organizational tools you provided. This flexibility has allowed each student to engage more deeply and confidently with the content. When the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate—students were eager to explore, ask questions, and begin using them right away. It created a renewed sense of energy and curiosity that has carried into our daily learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to support student-centered learning as we move into our next unit. Students will be working on collaborative, project-based activities where they can apply skills in ways that feel meaningful to them, whether through creative expression, problem-solving, or structured analysis. Because of your support, I can continue offering choices that empower students to take ownership of their learning while ensuring everyone has access to the tools they need to succeed. Thank you for giving our classroom not just supplies, but opportunities—for confidence, creativity, and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1770647632683,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-futures-with-tools-that/9941504/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Futures With Tools That Inspire Young Minds.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tobiasz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10369610"},{"teacherId":2469180,"projectId":10144980,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom library project. Your generosity has truly made a difference in my class' learning and excitement around reading.\r\n\r\nThe new books you provided are more than just stories—they are powerful tools for teaching. With these texts, scholars are building essential skills like comprehension, making predictions, identifying character traits, and citing text evidence. Series like these also help my class practice fluency and stamina, as they are motivated to keep reading book after book. We're able to introduce lessons on story structure, theme, and even vocabulary in a way that feels engaging and meaningful to them.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active and joyful experience. My scholars spend time reading independently, discussing books with partners, and sharing recommendations with each other. You'll often see them fully immersed, laughing at funny moments, or rushing to tell a friend about an exciting part they just read. These books have helped create a true reading community.\r\n\r\nSome of my scholars, especially those who were previously reluctant readers, are now the most excited. I have scholars who immediately gravitate toward series like Dog Man and The Bad Guys, and they can't wait to get their hands on the next book. Others are discovering new favorite authors and genres, which is helping them build confidence and a genuine love for reading.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my class can see themselves as readers—and that is something that will stay with them far beyond our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1773861637688,"projectUrl":"project/-turning-pages-growing-minds/10144980/","projectTitle":"📖 Turning Pages, Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2469180_orig.jpg?crop=394,394,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692296963459","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2469180"},{"teacherId":9745561,"projectId":9902823,"letterContent":"We are beyond grateful for you!
