This addition has truly transformed our learning space—making it more organized, engaging, and functional for both whole-group and small-group instruction. Our morning meetings now flow more smoothly, and students stay focused and excited to participate as we write, draw, and explore new concepts together.\r\n\r\nThis whiteboard has also helped me better structure lessons, model writing and problem-solving, and provide clear visuals that support every child's understanding. It's amazing how one tool can make such a big difference in daily routines and overall learning. We are so grateful for your kindness and support in helping us create a more effective and interactive classroom environment. Thank you again for investing in our students' learning and success!\r\n\r\nMy students and I use our new whiteboard every single day! During morning group, we gather together to review our schedule, sing our welcome song, and discuss the weather—using the whiteboard to draw pictures, write names, and chart ideas. During small group lessons, it's become an essential tool for teaching early literacy and math concepts, allowing students to come up and write letters, count objects, or match shapes. One of my favorite moments was seeing their faces light up the first time they realized they could help \"teach\" by writing or drawing on the new board—it instantly made them feel proud and included in our learning process.\r\n\r\nRight now, our class is working on identifying letters in our names and recognizing patterns in numbers. The whiteboard has made it easy to visually track progress and make learning more hands-on and interactive. Next, we'll be using it for story sequencing and phonemic awareness games, which will build on the skills we're developing now. The enthusiasm and engagement this resource has sparked are incredible—thank you again for giving us a tool that truly supports collaboration, creativity, and joyful learning!","fullyFundedDate":1746786392622,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-a-clean-slate/9116111/","projectTitle":"We Need a \"Clean Slate!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cordeiro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9067376_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723635387166","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9067376"},{"teacherId":9067376,"projectId":9119173,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations that allowed us to add a wonderful collection of new books to our preschool classroom! Our shelves are now filled with stories that celebrate diversity, kindness, and self-awareness, along with fun seasonal and holiday favorites. These books have already become a beloved part of our daily routine—encouraging curiosity, compassion, and a love of reading in our young learners.\r\n\r\nThe joy on our students' faces as they explore the colorful pages and discover new characters has been priceless. At just 3–5 years old, they are beginning to build the foundations for empathy and understanding, and your support helps make those meaningful lessons come to life.

When the toys first arrived last year, my students were so excited to open the boxes. I still remember their faces—they were smiling, clapping, and eager to try everything right away. They enjoyed playing together, building with the blocks, and using the toys to practice numbers and letters. It made our classroom feel so alive, and I could see how much learning was happening through their play.\r\n\r\nNow, a new school year has started, and my new students are enjoying these same toys too. It is wonderful to see that the resources are not only for one group, but they continue to help more children each year. Recently, the students were counting and sorting shapes together, and they were so proud to show me what they could do. These materials are making learning fun and meaningful for them.\r\n\r\nWe are very grateful for your support. Because of you, both last year's students and this year's students are learning and growing in such a joyful way.
