They have helped keep our classroom organized and focused on learning! They have enjoyed taking turns placing their cushions on the cart after large group to keep our area clean. Our shelf in the art/writing area is PERFECT size for all the materials we use in this space. My printer has been a huge help! I have been able to print things right in my classroom anytime. The glue has been a huge hit! We have made so much slime! My kids can't believe they have a teacher that lets them play with slime! It's only the start of the year and we have had so much fun getting to know one another and learning along the way. With your help you have made it much easier with the materials you donated. Thank you so much for all you have done over the years! You have no idea how blessed I am to have your help.","fullyFundedDate":1752785006747,"projectUrl":"project/refresh-and-organize-in-2025-26/9441028/","projectTitle":"Refresh and Organize in 2025-26","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Savannah Elam","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9586643_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751391428507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9586643"},{"teacherId":9586643,"projectId":8487809,"letterContent":"The past year I was able to start the year out right and I had the supplies needed to do projects with my children.

The dog that lights up allowed him to focus on it and he would match his breathing to the light pulsing like it is intended with much practice. This was a lifesaver! In addition I was able to put all the other office supplies to good use throughout the year and for the first year... I DID NOT HAVE TO BUY EXTRA GLUE OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. (I bought other fun things. lol) \r\n\r\nThank you for all that you helped me purchase for my classroom! I was not expecting someone to be so helpful to someone they did not know.
