The look on their faces as we took them out of the boxes was priceless. They each got to label them with their name.\r\n\r\nAll of the teachers are so grateful as well because the students are missing fewer lessons. Since the students can all keep their water bottles on their desks and travel with them from class to class, they no longer have to miss out on instruction to go and get water. Our students are drinking more water and missing fewer lessons.

For many of them, holding and writing with these pencils made a huge difference right away. One student, who often struggles with grip, proudly showed me how much neater his handwriting looked. Small moments like this remind me of the importance of having the right tools in place to help children feel successful and confident. We've been using these materials daily during writing, math, and center time. The pencils allow students to write for longer without frustration, and the other supplies keep our classroom running smoothly. What may seem simple has led to a significant change in participation and independence. Students are now more eager to complete their work because they feel equipped and capable.\r\nAs we continue into our current lessons, these resources will remain a foundation for all the projects we do. From writing sentences to labeling drawings, every child has what they need to learn and grow. Thank you for providing us with these essentials. Your generosity is making sure my students have the tools to build strong learning habits every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757981290489,"projectUrl":"project/basic-essentials/9713465/","projectTitle":"Basic Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Facey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9810054"},{"teacherId":1479785,"projectId":8966859,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to this project.

I wanted to take a moment to share how your generous contributions have been making a significant impact in our classroom. The social-emotional texts and plush toys you provided have become invaluable resources for our students in learning to regulate their emotions and build their social skills.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment was when we introduced the cozy corner to the class. The students were immediately drawn to the plush toys, each one representing different emotions. As they explored the characters, I could see their excitement and curiosity grow. They started to discuss their own feelings and experiences in a way I hadn't seen before, using the toys as a bridge to express themselves. It was heartwarming to witness students who typically struggle with sharing their emotions opening up and supporting one another.","fullyFundedDate":1725412565583,"projectUrl":"project/developing-a-social-emotional-space-for/8366326/","projectTitle":"Developing a Social Emotional space for Students to Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Candelaria","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9526852"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_101926","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":533,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"10.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.3,"schoolId":101926,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-state-department-education/east-harlem-scholars-academy/101926"}
