These will last a long time since I laminated them. I needed to order a replacement for the calendar refill and I chose little white board erasers. We have used these many times with pages placed inside plastic sheet protectors. Students of all ages love any lesson that uses these erasers and markers.

It is hard to believe that it is almost time to swap out the desk calendar pages with the 2026 refill that you provided.

These stools give my students the ability to wobble a little while we work together at my small group table. The great thing about these stools is the padded tob making them much more comfortable to use them hard plastic tops.

The moment the new resources arrived, my students' eyes lit up with excitement. The snacks have provided a simple but powerful way to keep them focused and energized throughout the day, and the centers have quickly become a highlight in our routine. They now walk into class eager to see what activity is waiting for them, and the sense of joy and curiosity has been contagious.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments came when we introduced our literacy center. Students who are often shy about reading began participating with more confidence, eager to share their answers with their peers. The hands-on resources gave them the freedom to learn in creative ways, and I could see the boost in their engagement and self-esteem almost immediately. The snacks have also had an impact, ensuring that no child is distracted by hunger and that each one can bring their full attention to learning.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to use these resources, my next step is to expand on student-led group work. The centers have laid the foundation for collaborative learning, and I am excited to watch students grow not only in their academics but also in teamwork and problem-solving. Your generosity has truly created a lasting, positive impact, and I am deeply grateful for the way you have invested in our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1746787344714,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-with-snacks-engaging-cen/9130661/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds With Snacks & Engaging Centers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8824944"},{"teacherId":378508,"projectId":9366187,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to fund You Can't Have STEAM Without Art. The art teacher and I have the rolling carts for the large paper rolls in our shared closet. We have been using the paper a lot and they were almost empty. It is amazing to look in the closet now and see these new rolls ready to be used this school year! I spent many hours this summer trying to clean our plastic trays that were used for crayons on individual tables. Now we have these perfectly clean ones to hold other supplies. I am excited that we have these new rolls of filament to make 3D prints. Students love to take these small models home with them and to give me ideas they would like to print. The Play-Doh was not available, so I was able to order some magnetic building sets for the students to create awesome designs.
