I am deeply grateful for your support and for your commitment to the health and well-being of my students. Your kindness has made a meaningful and lasting impact on our classroom, especially during flu season.\r\nMy 15 students are full of curiosity, excitement, and energy. Each day, they come to school eager to learn, explore, and make new discoveries. At the 3K level, students are developing important academic, social, and emotional skills. Being present in the classroom is essential for this growth. When students are healthy and able to attend school consistently, they can fully engage in lessons, build routines, and form strong connections with their peers and teachers.\r\nIn a 3K classroom, children are still learning about personal space, hygiene, and self-care. Because of this, germs can spread quickly, particularly during flu season. Illness often leads to frequent absences, disrupted routines, and missed learning opportunities. It can also impact teachers, making it difficult to maintain the consistency and stability that young learners need to feel safe and supported. These challenges can be stressful for students, families, and educators alike.\r\nThe air purifier you helped provide has been incredibly helpful during this flu season. Knowing that the air in our classroom is being continuously filtered gives us an added layer of protection against germs, viruses, and allergens. This has helped create a healthier classroom environment where students can remain in school and focus on learning rather than being sidelined by sickness. It has also provided reassurance to families, knowing their children are learning in a space that prioritizes health and safety.\r\nWith cleaner air, my students are better able to concentrate, participate in activities, and enjoy their time at school. They are able to build friendships, follow daily routines, and feel comfortable in their learning environment. The air purifier also supports teacher health, which helps ensure that students experience consistent instruction and familiar faces each day. This stability is especially important for young children who thrive on predictable schedules and strong relationships.\r\nYour donation represents far more than a piece of equipment. It represents care, compassion, and a belief in the importance of student wellness. By supporting this project, you have helped create a classroom where students can learn, grow, and thrive, even during flu season.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in their health and education. Your generosity has truly made a difference, and we are sincerely thankful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1758856757321,"projectUrl":"project/clean-air-for-learning-help-us-build-a/9751633/","projectTitle":"Clean Air for Learning: Help Us Build a Healthier Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9304034_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695665622391","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9304034"},{"teacherId":9304034,"projectId":9623890,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous support of our classroom. Because of you, my 15 amazing 3K-SCIS students will walk into a learning environment that is safe, welcoming, engaging, and filled with opportunities to grow. Your kindness and belief in our students mean more than words can fully express.\r\nMy students are at a very special stage in their lives. At three years old, they are full of curiosity, energy, and a strong desire to explore the world around them. Every day, they come to school excited to learn, ask questions, and discover new things. Creating a classroom that supports this natural curiosity requires more than just lessons—it requires a clean, organized, and nurturing space where students feel safe, valued, and motivated. Your donation has helped make that possible.\r\nBecause of your generosity, we are able to provide essential cleaning supplies such as hand soap, Lysol, a vacuum, and a mop. These items play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy classroom environment. A clean classroom helps prevent the spread of germs, keeps students healthy, and allows them to focus on learning without unnecessary disruptions. Knowing that my students can learn and play in a clean and sanitized space gives me peace of mind and helps families feel confident sending their children to school each day.\r\nYour support also allows me to purchase laminating sheets and Velcro dots, which are invaluable tools for early childhood education. These materials help me create durable, interactive learning visuals that can be used again and again. From hands-on matching activities to visual schedules and learning centers, these resources support different learning styles and help students better understand routines, letters, numbers, and social skills. The ability to reuse these materials ensures that your impact will last well beyond this school year.\r\nIn addition, the prize box items you helped provide will play a meaningful role in encouraging positive behavior and reinforcing hard work. For young learners, positive reinforcement is incredibly powerful. Small rewards can boost confidence, build motivation, and help students develop important social-emotional skills such as perseverance, responsibility, and self-control. These moments of celebration help students feel proud of their accomplishments and excited to continue learning.\r\nYour donation is not just about supplies—it is about opportunity. It is about creating a classroom where students feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and grow. It is about supporting their academic, social, and emotional development during one of the most important stages of their lives. Because of you, my students will have the tools they need to thrive today and build a strong foundation for the future.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for choosing to invest in their education. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our classroom and on each child who walks through our door. We are incredibly grateful for your support, and we will carry your kindness with us every day as we learn, grow, and succeed together.","fullyFundedDate":1755747032005,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-for-a-clean-organized-and-t/9623890/","projectTitle":"Essentials for a Clean, Organized, and Thriving 3K Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9304034_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695665622391","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9304034"},{"teacherId":9304034,"projectId":9590676,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donation of exercise equipment for our 3K SCIS classroom. Your support has already made a meaningful difference in the lives of our youngest learners, and we are truly grateful for your kindness and belief in our students.\r\nOur 3K SCIS class is made up of energetic, curious, and unique children who are just beginning their educational journey. For many of them, movement is not only a source of joy, but also a critical part of how they learn, regulate their emotions, and connect with the world around them. Because of your donation, we are now able to provide structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate exercise opportunities that support the whole child—physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.\r\nThe exercise equipment you provided has transformed our exercise unit into an exciting and meaningful part of the school day. Our students now have access to tools that encourage safe movement, coordination, balance, and strength-building. These activities help develop gross motor skills that are essential at this age, such as jumping, stretching, pushing, pulling, and maintaining balance. For our students with special needs, these skills are especially important and often require intentional practice in a supportive environment. Your generosity has made that possible.\r\nBeyond physical development, this equipment supports social growth and emotional regulation. During exercise time, our students practice taking turns, following simple directions, waiting patiently, and celebrating each other's successes. Movement activities also help our children release energy, reduce stress, and improve focus—making them more ready to participate in circle time, small group activities, and learning centers. We have already seen students become more confident, engaged, and motivated as they explore the new equipment.\r\nPerhaps most importantly, your donation sends a powerful message to our students and families: that they are valued, supported, and worthy of investment. Even though our children are only three years old, they are already benefiting from the care and generosity of people who believe in their potential. That sense of community and support is something we carry with us every day in the classroom.\r\nOn behalf of our students, families, and staff, thank you for making our exercise unit possible. Your contribution is helping lay a strong foundation for healthy habits, positive learning experiences, and joyful moments that our students will remember.
