The games we received—especially Connect 4 and the playing cards—have quickly become student favorites. Now, when students finish their classwork, they love grabbing a game to unwind, connect with their classmates, and reset their brains before moving on to the next task. These simple additions have transformed our classroom environment, giving students a positive, low-stress outlet that builds community and keeps them excited to be here.

Having all our documents, videos, and agendas in one place has made lessons run so much smoother.

The TPT gift card has allowed me to select resources that challenge them to think critically, make meaningful connections, and engage more deeply with our texts. As we begin this unit, students are already both captivated and horrified as they experience the personal narrative of someone who endured the Holocaust. Watching them grapple with the reality of this history—through authentic voices and powerful storytelling—has been profoundly moving. Your support has made it possible for my students to learn with empathy, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.","fullyFundedDate":1755811725592,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-the-story-of-night-alive/9592118/","projectTitle":"Keeping the Story of Night Alive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Galayda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8399529_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719018830451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8399529"},{"teacherId":9780788,"projectId":8831181,"letterContent":"I would love to start thank you again for your generosity.\r\nAfter the Hurricane Helene.
