With your help, I was able to get a class set of headphones. Many of my students come in with headphones at the beginning of the year, but they tend to disappear or get broken soon after. By having a set in my room to loan out, I can ensure that students have what they need to hear the videos we watch in class. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, the pencils are helpful for those who need something to write with. Let's face it, can teachers really ever have too many pencils???\r\n\r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1750106803964,"projectUrl":"project/class-supplies/9415695/","projectTitle":"Class Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dalton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9862907_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x240,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733340493797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9862907"},{"teacherId":9707678,"projectId":8705320,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your contributions towards some new supplies for our makerspace collection. I have enjoyed collaborating with more teachers than ever this year and providing students with a creative way to practice what they are learning in their classes.\r\n\r\nI worked with 7th grade math classes to review 3D shapes and then give students a chance to work in small groups to create a pyramid or cube using the 3Doodler pens funded by all of you. The Legos I originally selected were not available so instead I was able to prepare for a fun snowflake lesson for next school year by selecting a Brain Flakes Kit which are good quality interlocking plastic discs. Until then, it has been on of the choices for students to pick when they are in here for free choice maker space time and it is usually one of their favorite things to work with. Lastly, with remaining funds from the cancellation of the Legos, I selected a shaking tabletop that I am inspired to make use of after watching an episode of Lego Masters use something on a bigger scale to test out the durability of the builders creations.\r\n\r\nAgain, I sincerely thank all of you for your help towards expanding what I can offer when collaborating with teachers. All students have been engaged and enjoying their time with our new tools to use for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1733256043798,"projectUrl":"project/maker-space-rebuilding/8705320/","projectTitle":"Maker Space Rebuilding","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9707678"},{"teacherId":9862907,"projectId":9121668,"letterContent":"As we prepare for the end of the school year, the storage items have been incredibly helpful in our classroom. We have moved all the notebooks into crates, which makes them easier to find and prevents damage. We haven't set up the tables yet because I want to wait until next year to avoid storage issues over the summer. For now, the boxes allow the tables to be laid flat, with other items placed on top of them. The accordion folders have been used to organize all the extra copies and assignments, making them ready for make-up work or for storage at the end of the year. Thank you all once again for your support in helping our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1745248126824,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-storage/9121668/","projectTitle":"Classroom Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dalton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9862907_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x240,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733340493797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9862907"},{"teacherId":9325093,"projectId":8714462,"letterContent":"Because of you, I have been able to package more than 100 bags of snacks to send home with students with food insecurity at home. Along with that, I have been able to serve my entire school by providing snacks to those who don't get enough to eat at home as well as being sure they have something to eat when they are hungry. Being hungry isn't something a middle school student should have to ever experience, and because of your kindness and generosity, students at WIMS are not facing this struggle. The difference you are making is massive and so very appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1734098750766,"projectUrl":"project/wims-classroom-pantry/8714462/","projectTitle":"WIMS Classroom Pantry!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Overcash","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9325093_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697122124285","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9325093"},{"teacherId":9862907,"projectId":9051788,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping get these world atlases for my classroom. My students were excited when they showed up this afternoon and asked what we would be using them for. When I told them that they would be using them to look up where we are learning about and information about the countries, which is listed in this version of the atlases, they were all smiles. Being able to provide them with an easier way to look up information and to be able to physically see where we are learning about is something many have never been able to do. Until now I have had to display the maps on our classroom tv at the front of the room and then try to located what was needed, often it was extremely hard for some to see. This will help them out big time.
