Your kindness has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, and I am truly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nThe small flashlights you donated have completely transformed our reading time. My students light up—both literally and figuratively—when they are able to use them during reading activities. Something as simple as a flashlight has made reading feel exciting and special, especially for students who are still building confidence with books.\r\n\r\nThe small zipper pouches have been a game changer for organization. Each pouch is filled with picture cards and letters that students use daily to practice sounds and CVC words. Having their materials neatly organized and easily accessible has helped students stay focused and independent during literacy centers.\r\n\r\nYour donation of the stackable paper tray desk organizer has provided us with a clear and consistent turn-in location for student work. This has helped my students build responsibility and classroom routines while keeping our learning space organized.\r\n\r\nThe mixed plastic storage bins and baskets are now home to our phonemic awareness manipulatives. Students are able to quickly grab what they need for sound work, which keeps lessons moving smoothly and maximizes instructional time.\r\n\r\nOne of my students' favorite items has been the 5-pack of multicolor plastic art trays. We use these for practicing writing letters by placing sand in the trays, creating a multisensory learning experience. I've watched students who once struggled to remember letters smile with pride as they trace them in the sand and confidently say the sounds aloud.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my classroom is a more engaging, organized, and supportive learning environment. Your donation didn't just provide supplies—it created moments of confidence, excitement, and growth for my students. Thank you for believing in our classroom and for helping make learning more meaningful every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1762705192686,"projectUrl":"project/title-classroom/9876689/","projectTitle":"Title Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10342269"},{"teacherId":10298169,"projectId":9786211,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom.

It has made such a difference on the amount of noise in my classroom which helps with my sanity. The stools for my small group table has also been such a good fit. They work perfectly for my students. \r\nMy students have really enjoyed the new learning game that were donated. With the weather getting cold I am sure they will become even more enjoyed. They love playing them and are learning at the same time. \r\nYour donation is greatly appreciated by myself and my students.
