As a NYC teacher, I have limited resources and support from the admin and parents when it comes to supplies for the students. Last year, roughly 60% of the students were coming to school daily with no supplies. Each day, we would give out 20 plus pencils and countless sheets of loose leaf paper that would end up in tables or on the floor. \r\n\r\nI wanted to be able to provide notebooks for each student. Headphones where also part of the project because 90% of the work was computer based and many students benefitted from watching videos that models the topic and solution process. \r\n\r\nThe other materials were also needed to run lessons and small groups with the students. Once again, THANK YOU all who have supported my projects.","fullyFundedDate":1777905068346,"projectUrl":"project/replace-classroom-supplies-and-necessiti/10239287/","projectTitle":"Replace Classroom Supplies and Necessities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trimmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7557849_orig.jpg?crop=179,179,x70,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726595777491","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7557849"},{"teacherId":3431267,"projectId":8147660,"letterContent":"When the new supplies arrived, my students were so excited to unpack everything—especially the glitter pens, scratch paper, and clay bead kit!\r\n\r\nHaving these resources has made a huge difference in our daily learning.

The students really enjoyed this and they collaborated on the design and colors. \r\n\r\nWe are using the Cricut to create classroom displays, student project titles, labels, and visuals connected to our math learning. It has helped students take more pride in their work because their projects look polished and ready to share. These materials also give students a chance to be creative while showing what they know.

Through this experience, my students had the opportunity to step into leadership roles by designing and delivering thoughtful lessons to younger elementary students. They collaborated to create engaging, age-appropriate activities that encouraged empathy, inclusion, and positive communication. This hands-on experience helped them grow not only as leaders, but also as compassionate members of our community.\r\n\r\nThe materials you helped provide—such as stickers, buttons, and snacks—played an important role in bringing the project to life. These items were more than just supplies; they became powerful tools for connection and reinforcement. My students were especially excited to use them as part of their lessons, offering younger students tangible reminders of the importance of kindness. Seeing the joy on the children's faces and knowing they could leave them with something meaningful made the experience even more impactful for my students.\r\n\r\nWhat stood out most was how deeply my students embraced their roles as mentors. Some who are typically quieter in the classroom truly shined while leading small group discussions or helping younger students participate in activities. They took pride in modeling kindness and responsibility, and many expressed how rewarding it felt to make a positive difference in someone else's day. Thanks to your support, this project not only benefited the elementary students we visited, but also helped my students grow in confidence, empathy, and leadership. We are incredibly thankful for your contribution in making this experience possible.","fullyFundedDate":1770846304130,"projectUrl":"project/sharing-smiles-and-kindness-in-our-commu/10070897/","projectTitle":"Sharing Smiles and Kindness in Our Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mazzie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7956967_orig.jpg?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758903257009","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msncali"},{"teacherId":7557849,"projectId":9473343,"letterContent":"Thank you all once again.
