Students use them during small group instruction, interactive lessons, math problem-solving, and literacy practice. Writing on whiteboards allows them to practice skills, make corrections easily, and build confidence without fear of making mistakes.\r\n\r\nThe colored pencils have added creativity and engagement to our classroom. Students use them for illustrating writing assignments, completing projects, annotating texts, and organizing their notes in meaningful ways. Adding color helps them better understand and retain information while also encouraging artistic expression.\r\n\r\nSheet protectors have become an essential organizational tool. We use them to preserve frequently used materials, create reusable practice sheets, and keep important resources clean and accessible. This has helped us extend the life of our materials and reduce waste.\r\n\r\nAnchor chart paper has been especially impactful. It allows us to create visual learning guides that remain posted around the room as reference tools. Together, we build charts for reading strategies, math problem-solving steps, vocabulary development, and classroom expectations. These visual supports empower students to work more independently and reinforce learning long after the lesson ends.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom is better equipped to support hands-on, engaging, and organized learning. Your support truly enhances the educational experience for every student. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in our students' success. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment to education.","fullyFundedDate":1764719884510,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9835383/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haq","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7456223_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1641267128776","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-haq"},{"teacherId":7456223,"projectId":9834436,"letterContent":"What an exciting day it was seeing my students' faces filled with excitement as the numerous amount of boxes were being delivered to our classroom.

Now, they didn't have to worry if they forgot their snack at home. \r\n\r\nHaving a working snack has made such an impact in our classroom. The snacks have helped my students remain focused, whereas before I would catch them falling asleep, or just checked out since lunch was still so far away.
