Your kindness and willingness to give truly made a difference for my third-grade students, and we are very grateful. Even though the math journals were not available at the time of purchase, I was still able to use the funds meaningfully by ordering snacks for my students instead, and it was such a welcome surprise for them.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have made a big difference for students who feel hungry before lunch or after-school programs. Many of my students come to school ready to learn, but sometimes they are distracted because they are hungry or have not had enough to eat. Having snacks available has helped meet a real need in our classroom and has allowed students to feel more comfortable and supported throughout the school day. When students know they can have something small to eat, it helps them stay calm, focused, and ready to participate in lessons and learning activities.","fullyFundedDate":1758202715934,"projectUrl":"project/math-journals/9575444/","projectTitle":"Math Journals","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2212826_orig.jpg?crop=946,946,x81,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565469329870","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2212826"},{"teacherId":2212826,"projectId":9574867,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of laminating sheets for our third-grade classroom.

Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in my third graders' learning and confidence.

What was once slow or frustrating for many students is becoming more natural and comfortable. Typing has given students a new way to express their thinking clearly and completely. Some students who struggled with handwriting are now able to show what they truly know because typing removes that barrier. I see students take pride in their work as they type full sentences and paragraphs, reread their responses, and make corrections on their own.

Technology plays a huge role in helping me create those supports — and your gift of toner refills made it possible to print in full color again.

Our new visual schedules, task cards, and learning games are now clear, colorful, and exciting to use. Students eagerly point to their picture cues, match colorful shapes, and follow visual directions with more confidence. One of my students, who usually struggles to stay focused, now lights up when he sees his bright red and blue sorting cards — he immediately knows it's time to \"match and learn.\"\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is that they can now see themselves reflected in their routines — each color-coded chart and personalized picture board helps them understand what comes next and builds their sense of independence.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me use technology in a way that truly supports accessibility, communication, and joy in learning.
