Your contribution may seem small to some, but to us, it has made a tremendous impact on our daily learning. Because of you, I am now able to print high-quality materials that support differentiated instruction, student engagement, and meaningful academic practice.\r\n\r\nBefore this donation, I often had to limit what I printed, prioritize only the most essential items, or spend my own money to provide students with the resources they deserved. Now, I can give my students access to vibrant worksheets, individualized assignments, anchor charts, reading passages, assessments, and parent communication without worry. The look on my students' faces when they receive materials created just for them is priceless—they feel supported, prepared, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nSomething as simple as printer ink has allowed our classroom to run more efficiently and has opened the door for creativity and innovation. From printing leveled books for struggling readers, to producing math centers, phonics cards, and behavior visuals, your donation touches every part of our day. It helps ensure that each student receives what they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour generosity shows my students that there are people outside our school who believe in their potential and care about their education. That message alone inspires hope, confidence, and curiosity.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom, in my teaching, and most importantly, in my students' futures. Your support means more than you know, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758899295301,"projectUrl":"project/print-learn-repeat/9690405/","projectTitle":"\"Print, Learn, Repeat!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Norris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8891902_orig.jpg?crop=512,512,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696733860529","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8891902"},{"teacherId":8891902,"projectId":9661655,"letterContent":"M\r\n\r\nI am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generosity and support of our classroom. Thanks to your kindness, we now have a beautiful classroom rug that has completely transformed the energy, structure, and community of our learning space. Your donation did more than purchase an item—it created a foundation for connection, comfort, and belonging.\r\n\r\nBefore the rug arrived, our students did not have a central gathering place. Whole-group lessons felt scattered, morning meetings were cramped, and transitions were often chaotic. Many students had difficulty knowing where to sit or how to organize themselves during instruction. But the moment we unrolled the rug, everything changed. Our classroom felt like a home. The rug instantly became the heart of our room—a place where learning happens, friendships grow, and students feel grounded and ready to engage.\r\n\r\nIt may seem like a simple addition, but for my students, the rug is a powerful symbol. It represents safety, structure, and joy. Each day begins with morning meeting on the rug, where we greet one another, share stories, and set intentions for the day. Students sit crisscross with smiles on their faces, proud of having a space that feels like it was made just for them. The rug gives them physical and emotional stability; it helps them understand that they have a place in our classroom, and more importantly, a place in our community.\r\n\r\nInstruction has changed dramatically as well. Mini-lessons are now more focused because students have defined personal space. They listen better, collaborate more, and transition smoothly. Small-group time, read-alouds, and math talks all take place on the rug, turning lessons into interactive experiences instead of passive moments. Students who once struggled to engage now raise their hands eagerly, excited to be part of the learning happening at \"their spot.\"\r\n\r\nThe rug has also become a safe sanctuary for emotional moments. When a student feels frustrated, overwhelmed, or needs a quiet place to reset, the rug has become that comforting space where they can breathe and regroup. It is more than fabric—it is a tool for self-regulation and emotional grounding.\r\n\r\nYour donation has had a profound and lasting impact. Many of my students come from homes with limited space or challenging circumstances. Having a clean, comfortable, colorful rug to sit on each day feels like a luxury they may not experience anywhere else. You gave them a gift that says, \"You deserve a beautiful learning environment.\" That message alone builds confidence and dignity in ways that will ripple far beyond this school year.\r\n\r\nAs an educator, your support reminds me that I am not doing this work alone. You saw a need, believed in our mission, and acted. Because of you, our classroom feels warmer, calmer, and more connected. The rug will support hundreds of lessons and countless memories for years to come.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of every student who now has a place to learn, grow, and feel at home—thank you. Your generosity has made our classroom complete, and we will forever be grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1756947216578,"projectUrl":"project/gather-round-a-rug-for-building-commun/9661655/","projectTitle":"Gather ’Round: A Rug for Building Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Norris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8891902_orig.jpg?crop=512,512,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696733860529","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8891902"},{"teacherId":6510069,"projectId":9650517,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of mirror panels, the beautiful wooden library shelf, and our new math cart!

During a recent project where students created self-portraits, they were thrilled to have access to such a diverse range of skin tones. Initially, there was an air of excitement and curiosity as students unwrapped the materials, with many exclaiming about the variety of shades available. It was heartwarming to see students of all backgrounds find colors that closely matched their own skin tone, allowing them to express their identities more authentically in their artwork. This immediate reaction fostered discussions about diversity and representation, nurturing an inclusive atmosphere where every student felt valued.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the next steps for my students involve deepening their understanding of cultural identity through art. Building on the self-portrait project, we will be exploring various artists from different cultures and backgrounds, creating collaborative murals that reflect the diversity within our classroom. This not only encourages creativity but also promotes conversations about heritage and acceptance. Our upcoming lessons will involve research and discussions about the artists we've studied, leading to a final exhibition where students can showcase their work to the school community. This journey from expression to exhibition will empower students to not only appreciate their individuality but also celebrate their peers, creating a richer learning environment for everyone involved.","fullyFundedDate":1732559946519,"projectUrl":"project/artistry-of-all-shades-empower-creativi/8791314/","projectTitle":"Artistry of All Shades: Empower Creativity Through Diversity!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Norris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8891902_orig.jpg?crop=512,512,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696733860529","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8891902"},{"teacherId":8668336,"projectId":8819805,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in donating A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Goosebumps series to our 4th-grade classroom!
