Your kindness has already made a meaningful difference in our daily learning. The reading tools you provided are helping students stay focused and engaged during group work, allowing them to participate and collaborate actively. The fidgets have also become an important support—students use them to remain calm and focused during tests, group work, and independent work. It has made a noticeable impact on their confidence and approach to learning. \r\n\r\nThe headphones have been especially valuable during online learning tasks. Students can now work without distractions, hear instructions clearly, and stay on track with their digital lessons. In addition, the organizational items you funded have helped our classroom run more smoothly and efficiently, making it easier for students to find materials, transition quickly, and take responsibility for their learning space.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly created a more supportive, focused, and productive learning environment. We are so grateful for the care you've shown our class and for believing in the power of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1756460694105,"projectUrl":"project/organized-minds-focused-readers/9637411/","projectTitle":"Organized Minds, Focused Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walendziuk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9781484_orig.jpg?crop=369,370,x0,y18&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755828595100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9781484"},{"teacherId":3835884,"projectId":9102418,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our Chromebook charging station has truly transformed the way our classroom learns and stays organized!\r\n\r\nBefore we had it, keeping our Chromebooks charged and ready for lessons was a daily challenge; cords everywhere, low batteries, and lost learning time. Now, every student has access to a fully charged device each morning, and we can dive right into learning without delay.\r\n\r\nThe charging station has made our classroom run more smoothly and efficiently. Students have taken ownership of caring for their devices, and it's helped build responsibility and teamwork as they manage their Chromebook routines together.\r\n\r\nThis technology upgrade has continued to make a difference not only last school year but also as we've started this new one. It's amazing how something as simple as a charging station can bring so much structure, independence, and readiness to our daily learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us stay powered up, organized, and focused on what matters most!

Crayons and markers are used for projects. Dry-erase boards let us work out our math problems and equations. The materials given to students were of great help to parents who were not able to afford new supplies this school year. Students were very excited to receive all their materials inside their desks.\r\n\r\nThese supplies also help the students stay organized. Folders are color-coded based on the subject, pencil cases help keep their pencils, erasers, and sharpeners in one place, and they have enough notebooks to keep their notes in for each subject. Our math toolkits keep our anchor charts organized with sheet protectors for easy access to visuals on the skill we are learning. Math warm-up folders help us practice our basic facts and drills. It is essential that students, especially English Language Learners, be able to visually see the different ways that a problem can be solved and the steps they need to take.","fullyFundedDate":1726754107925,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-to-empower-future-leaders/8593569/","projectTitle":"Supplies to Empower Future Leaders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Núñez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5459912_orig.png?crop=773,774,x0,y20&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755730019575","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cristinanunez"},{"teacherId":3835884,"projectId":8519074,"letterContent":"I hope your new year is off to a great start!
