The resources you guys provided are used every single day. My students were so excited when I first showed them all the amazing donations we received. My personal favorite is the mobile whiteboard. I use this a lot during morning meetings, small groups, and as an accessible way for my students to reach the whiteboard.\r\n\r\nYour donations are helping me get my students more engaged, but they're also giving me peace of mind. Because of your donations, I did not have to worry about buying folders out of my own pocket. You were also able to provide my students with quality materials to ease their learning.\r\n\r\nMy student favorite item is electric pencil sharpener because they just put the pencil in and it lets it out when it's ready to go. They don't have to stand there guessing when the pencil is ready. It is also one of my favorites because it allows me to give my students more freedom to take charge of their own materials. Thank you once again for the amazing donation.","fullyFundedDate":1758899051541,"projectUrl":"project/brighten-our-classroom-daily-tools-for/9740877/","projectTitle":"Brighten Our Classroom: Daily Tools for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Caceres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9737346_orig.jpg?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727468973788","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9737346"},{"teacherId":9737346,"projectId":9351113,"letterContent":"We love all our new materials although we haven't reached our shapes unit yet, my students have started to explore different shapes through math centers.

You have not just given my classroom materials to use during this early stage of their life. You have gifted them the chance of opportunity.\r\n\r\nWhenever my students get a chance at the shape center, they jump for joy- literally. My students love using manipulative to learn paired with a great worksheet.

This project was for prizes for my students as an incentive for doing well in occupational therapy.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come from low income homes, and therefore don't necessarily have the privilege to receive small prizes frequently. My students are so excited to be able to choose a prize or treat from the new prize box when they complete their work for the day. The smiles on their faces are priceless! They are so excited to show their choice to their friends! Additionally, I see a big improvement in their motivation and work performance, when they know they will receive a prize at the end of the session. Today my students selected the prizes of their choice and were so excited! \r\n\r\nOnce again, THANK YOU for your kind donations!

The new resources have noticeably increased student focus during both small-group lessons and independent practice. With a clear, engaging workspace, students are more able to break math tasks into ordered steps—identifying numbers and operations, modeling solutions, and checking their work—so they develop stronger, more consistent problem‑solving habits. The tactile, visual nature of the materials helps students move from concrete manipulation to abstract thinking, which is especially helpful for ENL learners who benefit from multi‑sensory supports.\r\nIn addition to strengthening math reasoning, the light table materials provide frequent opportunities to practice letters and numbers through tracing, arranging, and sequencing activities. Students use translucent letter and number tiles to build words, reinforce phonics, and practice numeral formation, increasing both confidence and independence. The light table has become a hub of curiosity and collaboration, reducing off‑task behavior and allowing more time for targeted instruction—an outcome made possible by your generosity. Thank you for investing in tools that are already transforming learning in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758992509869,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-learning-table/9753293/","projectTitle":"Light Up Learning Table","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4085_orig.jpg?crop=1184,1184,x296,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666499442579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacher-ms-g"},{"teacherId":4085,"projectId":9743073,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to provide personal water bottles for our students. Having their own labeled bottles ensures easy access to water throughout the school day, which supports proper hydration, overall wellness, and better focus in class. Personal bottles reduce interruptions for students who would otherwise leave activities to find water, and they prevent mix-ups and waste during gym class, recess, and outdoor play — helping students stay engaged and safe while forming healthy hydration habits.\r\nBecause of your support, all of my students now have durable, easy-to-clean, leak-resistant bottles sized for everyday school use. Teachers and coaches have already noticed fewer water-related breaks and smoother transitions during lessons and activities, and students take pride in caring for their bottles.

As soon as students arrive each morning they run to this new favorite spot, settling in together; it's now the place they choose first. The rug and chairs have also become our regular location for class meetings and comprehension discussions, where students gather comfortably to share ideas. While we have other bean bags, the chair-style seats are clearly their top pick. Students frequently request to meet in small groups on the rug, and they often ask to grab a book and read there as soon as they finish a task. Your support has created a warm, welcoming space that encourages focus, collaboration, and a deeper love of reading — we couldn't be more grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1760107370703,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-up-and-read/9692702/","projectTitle":"Cozy Up and Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4085_orig.jpg?crop=1184,1184,x296,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666499442579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacher-ms-g"},{"teacherId":1416161,"projectId":9837415,"letterContent":"Thank you for generously sponsoring language-based comprehension workbooks that will help stimulate my students' imagination and creativity.

With fully functioning pens, lessons have become far more interactive and efficient. Examples of activities we’ve used the pens for include:\n\nSmall-group problem-solving stations where up to four students collaborate on math problems directly on the board, explaining their reasoning to peers.\nGame-style review rounds (team buzzers and quick-write challenges) that turn formative assessment into an energetic, confidence-building routine.\nShared writing workshops where students draft, edit, and rearrange parts of a story together, modeling author’s craft in real time.\nInteractive read-aloud follow-ups where students annotate text features and locate evidence to support comprehension answers.\n\nThese activities are strengthening academic skills and classroom routines. Students are practicing clear communication, applying critical thinking when finding textual evidence, and developing collaboration habits as they take turns leading and supporting peers. The precision of the pens also improves handwriting and fine-motor control during demonstrations, which translates to neater student work when they transfer ideas to paper.\nBecause of your generosity, our smart boards are once again a reliable, engaging learning hub.

Students watched larvae grow, pupate, and emerge as adult ladybugs, recording changes each day and turning simple curiosity into hands‑on scientific inquiry. The experience had powerful effects: several children who were once afraid of insects now gently allow ladybugs to walk on their hands, and many more have begun asking new questions about habitats, growth, and other living things. Along the way they practiced age‑appropriate science skills and tools—observing carefully, making simple records, and discussing their findings—which strengthened their confidence and ability to think like young scientists. Caring for the ladybugs also fostered empathy and responsibility, and the shared classroom experience created memorable conversations at school and at home.","fullyFundedDate":1743082348672,"projectUrl":"project/magical-ladybug-transformation/9168032/","projectTitle":"Magical Ladybug Transformation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4085_orig.jpg?crop=1184,1184,x296,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666499442579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacher-ms-g"},{"teacherId":7235741,"projectId":9761048,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous and kind donations that brought my project \"Handwriting is Fun\" to life.
