Your support means the world to my students and me, and we are incredibly grateful that you care so deeply about their education.\r\n\r\nWhen the packages arrived, I surprised the class with a special unboxing. I had them sit in a semi-circle and opened the boxes one by one. They had no idea what was inside, and their faces completely lit up as each new material was revealed! After I explained how we would use everything, their excitement grew even more.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students will now be conducting hands-on STEM projects every Monday. Some of these challenges will span two weeks. For instance, they will compete to build the tallest tower using 100 cups, and they will use aluminum foil to design boats, testing their engineering skills by seeing how many math counters their boats can hold before sinking.\r\n\r\nI cannot wait to capture these moments and share pictures of your donation in action very soon!","fullyFundedDate":1791483984876,"projectUrl":"project/stem-materials-for-5th-grade/10668652/","projectTitle":"Stem Materials for 5th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Melluso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1758444_orig.jpg?crop=754,754,x0,y110&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1789668701606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-melluso"},{"teacherId":10309582,"projectId":10252741,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Latin club.

They couldn't wait to examine the Lakeshore Giant Geometric Shapes and gasped when they spotted the tub of sensory squishy toys and snack packs sitting next to our new math tools. For many of my learners, math can feel abstract and intimidating, but seeing bright, tactile manipulatives immediately turned their hesitation into eagerness. They kept asking, \"Are these really for us?\" and were thrilled to know people out in the world cared so much about their learning.\r\nWe have already put these fantastic resources to work in our daily math rotations. During a recent geometry lesson, instead of just staring at 2D drawings in a textbook, students gathered in small groups to hold the giant 3D prisms, pyramids, and cylinders to physically count their faces, edges, and vertices. In another station, we used the magnetic coins, play currency, and magnetic fraction circles to set up interactive math challenges. One memorable moment was watching a student who normally struggles with counting money confidently lay out dollar bills and magnetic coins to make exact change, beaming with pride as his teammates cheered him on.\r\nLooking ahead, our next step is to expand these hands-on tools into a full financial literacy and design project. Students will use the play money and fraction circles to budget for a simulated classroom store and practice partitioning wholes, while using the 3D shapes to construct and calculate the volume of mini architectural models. The squishy toys and snack packs continue to serve as fantastic motivators during focused independent work. Your generosity has transformed our math block into a vibrant, interactive experience, and we are so grateful for your investment in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1782512646235,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-classroom-thrive/10287863/","projectTitle":"Help My Classroom Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Walshver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10105333"},{"teacherId":6740676,"projectId":9587913,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom through Donors Choose.
