Teaching has its challenges and funding is definitely one of them. Your donations helped add to the resources available in our room. These resources give my students choices, choices that assist them in opening up their imagination and creativity. \r\n\r\nInitially my thought was these resources would help a few of my students with sensory issues, however I have found that every single one of my students love all of the items purchased with your donations. They have learned to share and also work together to create their visions. Each time I presented them with one of the new additions to our classroom, their eyes lit up and they immediately wanted to try them out. \r\n\r\nI have included photos of my students busy using some of the resources you helped me to purchase. It makes me so happy to watch them engaged and working cooperatively with one another.","fullyFundedDate":1758808076560,"projectUrl":"project/my-littlest-learners-need-help/9741610/","projectTitle":"My Littlest Learners Need Help","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Santana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3884875_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473683213927","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-g-santana"},{"teacherId":300,"projectId":9415602,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for helping me help my students keep their math books and notebooks organized. Each student has a slot of their own. They keep their workbook and notebook there. It allows them to know where to find their book. It allows me to know who has their book. It also keeps everything neat. Last year, the students used a bin to put their books in, and students had a hard time keeping their books organized. The covers ripped off and books got lost. \r\nHaving this new, neat organization, allows everyone to be focused and ready to work right away. That is amazing!

We sometimes talked about issues going on in school, or at home or with friends. Other times they played games with friends. \r\nThank you, again, for providing the supplies needed to make our morning meet ups happen.","fullyFundedDate":1743908212272,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-drinks-hot-or-cold/9231181/","projectTitle":"Keeping Drinks Hot or Cold","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nolan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp300_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1465609568644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nolan-kasal"},{"teacherId":8165264,"projectId":7006565,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom library! Your support has made a lasting impact on our students' reading experiences.\r\n\r\nSince the arrival of the chapter books, our library has been full of excitement and energy. The books have barely spent a day on the shelves; they've been in constant rotation among students who eagerly swap titles, offer recommendations to classmates, and share their favorite parts. It's been incredible to witness their enthusiasm for reading grow each day.\r\n\r\nMany students have found new favorite authors and series thanks to your generosity. These books have not only helped improve reading skills, but they've also sparked joy, curiosity, and a true love of reading that will stay with them far beyond this school year.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our class, thank you again for your kindness and belief in the power of books.

Now that it is warmer, they like iced tea and pink lemonade. \r\nWe are all so thankful we have the supplies to provide a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels happy and accepted.
