My students were SO EXCITED when they saw the bright, colorful caddies on our tables! They immediately noticed them and had to get their hands on everything. They love the little laptop erasers the most. They pull them apart and put them together throughout class. It's almost like a fidget. It has been one less thing for them to worry about when we start class. Everything they need is right there at their fingertips. They don't have to get up to get scissors, glue, or colored pencils. Everything is there at their fingertips on their tables. The caddies have also evolved in each of my rooms. My middle schoolers have since added colored pencils to the caddies so they are ready to go when we need color in our diagrams. My primary classroom has added dry erase markers and erasers to their caddies. I have whiteboard tables in that room and support personnel push into that room to work with small groups. They have everything they need to work out math problems on their tables. The clorox wipes are handy to help clean those tables since that room doesn't have a sink.\r\n\r\nIt's been a great addition to the classroom and has added teaching time by taking out the time it takes to get all the little things ready to get class started.\r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support, it's greatly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1763603154909,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-and-stocked-pencil-caddies-help/9780515/","projectTitle":"Colorful and Stocked Pencil Caddies Help with Student Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Simmons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8114962_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721875021923","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8114962"},{"teacherId":8114962,"projectId":9848944,"letterContent":"Slime is always a huge hit with kids of all ages. My students have loved being able to make different kinds of slime. We made 3 different batches with 3 classes. We used basically the same recipe but made a few tweeks. Each batch turned out differently. It was really cool for them to see how such a small change made such a different kind of slime. \r\n\r\nThrough this activity we were able to learn the science behind how slime is created. They learned how important it is to follow directions exactly as they are stated, otherwise things don't always work out as planned. Plus the excitement of making slime motivates them to make better choices in the classroom. \r\n\r\nWe are planning on making glow in the dark slime next. They can't wait.

These resources offer students structured and unstructured opportunities to move, laugh, and engage in healthy play—both indoors and outdoors.\r\n\r\nThe new equipment encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and sportsmanship as students learn rules, cooperate with partners, and participate in friendly competition. It also supports physical fitness by getting students up and active in ways that are fun and accessible for all skill levels.\r\n\r\nBy offering a variety of games, the project helps ensure that every child can find an activity they enjoy. This increases participation, boosts confidence, and helps students build friendships across classrooms and grade levels. The games also provide teachers with more engaging options for PE classes, recess, and brain breaks, improving overall classroom readiness and behavior.","fullyFundedDate":1767245470175,"projectUrl":"project/wiggles-to-words-learning-through-play/9944036/","projectTitle":"Wiggles to Words: Learning Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burdick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9333101"},{"teacherId":9333101,"projectId":9942929,"letterContent":"Providing winter boots and coats to students in need creates an immediate and powerful impact on their well-being, confidence, and ability to learn. Warm, properly fitting winter gear ensures that students can safely travel to and from school, even in harsh weather. This reduces absences, increases punctuality, and helps students stay focused on learning rather than discomfort.\r\n\r\nBeyond physical warmth, this project fosters dignity and confidence. When students feel comfortable and included, they participate more actively in class and with peers. Families facing financial hardship experience relief knowing their children are protected during the winter months, easing stress and freeing up resources for other essential needs.\r\n\r\nOverall, this project supports not just warmth—but opportunity, safety, and a stronger, more compassionate school community.","fullyFundedDate":1767245470541,"projectUrl":"project/winter-gear/9942929/","projectTitle":"Winter Gear","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burdick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9333101"},{"teacherId":9418431,"projectId":9758090,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support in providing a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card for our classroom. This resource has allowed me to access high-quality digital and printable learning materials that support students through interactive, technology-based instruction. Using classroom technology, students can engage with lessons that include visual supports, audio directions, and hands-on digital activities, making learning more accessible and meaningful for a wide range of learners.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about these new resources is how interactive and engaging they are. Lessons feel more like games and challenges rather than traditional worksheets, which increases motivation and participation. Students enjoy receiving immediate feedback and being able to work at their own pace.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who typically struggle with attention or confidence have especially benefited from this technology. The clear structure, visuals, and interactive elements have helped them stay focused and experience success. Your support has truly enhanced how my students learn each day.

We are using these resources daily to support students during learning time, especially during long instructional blocks and small-group work. One meaningful moment was during a reading lesson when students were able to enjoy a snack while working through a challenging text. Having a snack available helped them stay focused, calm, and ready to learn without distractions caused by hunger.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, they were genuinely excited and relieved. Many expressed gratitude and immediately felt more comfortable and supported in the classroom. Knowing their basic needs were being met created a positive, caring atmosphere that carried into their learning.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using snack time to support focus during reading, math problem-solving, and collaborative projects.

The light table has also been a powerful tool for exploring counting, sorting, and early science concepts in an engaging way.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to explore, ask questions, and dive right into learning. The glowing light table instantly captured their attention and motivated even reluctant learners to participate.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using these materials to build structures, explore measurement, and engage in collaborative STEM challenges that encourage critical thinking and creativity.
