When my students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement. The coat rack instantly transformed our dress-up area into an organized, welcoming space where imaginative play could truly flourish. Watching them take turns, assign roles, and create their own stories has been a beautiful reminder of how creative and resilient they are. The bilingual positive stickers have been especially meaningful, students proudly beam when they receive encouragement in a language they understand. During testing moments, the sensory stickers have helped calm anxious hands and refocus busy minds in ways that truly make a difference.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards are now part of our daily literacy routine. Students eagerly practice handwriting, sight words, and sentence building with confidence, knowing they can try again and learn from their mistakes. This simple tool has encouraged independence and risk-taking in learning. The snacks have also been essential, when a child is hungry, learning is hard. Having food readily available has helped students stay focused and ready to participate fully in lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we are continuing to build strong literacy foundations while encouraging creativity through purposeful play. Students are working on collaborative storytelling projects in our dramatic play area and transferring those ideas into writing during whiteboard practice. At the end of the year, the small gifts will help them reflect on how much they've grown and remind them that they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for. Thank you for helping us create a classroom filled with joy, compassion, and opportunity. Your support is making a lasting impact on my students' confidence and success.","fullyFundedDate":1764429867513,"projectUrl":"project/helping-them-shineone-sticker-snack-/9835448/","projectTitle":"Helping Them Shine—One Sticker, Snack & Smile at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wagner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10239711_orig.jpg?crop=2056,2056,x1042,y1599&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756926679113","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jennica-wagner"},{"teacherId":10239711,"projectId":9677868,"letterContent":"When our Donors Choose project was fully funded, it immediately transformed the energy in our classroom. The students were thrilled when they first saw the new materials, wide-eyed at the art supplies, excitedly inspecting the flashlights for reading time, and genuinely grateful for the snacks that now help them stay focused throughout the day. One unforgettable moment was our very first \"flashlight reading session.\" Students gathered around the room, lights dimmed, lamps glowing softly, and each child reading with their own flashlight. Several students who usually struggle to stay engaged were completely absorbed in their books, proudly sharing passages with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThese new resources have already become part of our daily routines. Snacks allow hungry students to stay alert and ready to learn, the stuffed animal has become a comforting support tool during tough moments, and the gift bags are helping us prepare for upcoming holiday activities. As we move forward with our current projects, students will use the art supplies and show off their creativity. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom feels calmer, more inviting, and more supportive of every learner. Your contributions didn't just provide materials; they boosted confidence, joy, and a sense of belonging for each child.","fullyFundedDate":1757522201478,"projectUrl":"project/learning-with-light-love-and-laughter/9677868/","projectTitle":"Learning with Light, Love, and Laughter!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wagner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10239711_orig.jpg?crop=2056,2056,x1042,y1599&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756926679113","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jennica-wagner"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126021","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":287,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.9,"schoolId":126021,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Escuela Smart Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Escuela Smart Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/toledo-public-schools/escuela-smart-academy/126021"}
