Because of your support, students have been able to enjoy snacks as rewards during classroom games, contests, and learning activities, which has been a wonderful motivator and morale booster.\r\n\r\nKindergarten students especially loved using some of the items during our science explorations. They were able to dissect fruit snacks and talk about different flavors and textures while learning like true young scientists. Many students also had the chance to try Nutella for the very first time, which made earning prizes even more exciting. Items were also used to celebrate BINGO wins, Valentine week treats, club snack, and in engineering challenges to name a few other ways your impact reached students. \r\n\r\nItems like the cereal and granola bars have also been incredibly helpful in the mornings for students who need something small to help them focus right before lunch. Having both snacks and candy prizes available has allowed me to celebrate student effort while also quietly supporting students who may be facing food insecurity. \r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a classroom where students feel encouraged, supported, and excited to participate.

Students use them to practice sentence building, grammar, and revisions, and the ability to use both sides allows us to maximize learning while minimizing waste. The double-sided number lines have been just as impactful in math, helping students visualize number relationships, solve problems with confidence, and build a stronger foundation in numeracy.\r\n\r\nIn addition to these instructional materials, the daily classroom tools you provided—such as the rotary cutter, flair pens, and stapler—have made a tremendous difference in our day-to-day routines. The rotary cutter allows me to prepare materials efficiently, the flair pens make lessons more engaging and organized, and the stapler helps keep student work and resources neatly assembled. These tools save valuable instructional time and help our classroom run smoothly.\r\n\r\nYour support goes far beyond supplies—you are directly contributing to a positive, well-prepared learning environment where students can focus, explore, and succeed.

This choice helps them stay focused, engaged, and excited about learning. The classroom mailboxes have also brought structure and independence to our routine.\r\n\r\nAs a first-year teacher, these resources have made such a big difference for me too. They've helped me create a classroom that runs smoothly and supports every student's learning style. The alternative seating has encouraged me to be more flexible and creative with my teaching, and the mailboxes have helped me stay organized while teaching my students responsibility at the same time. \r\nSeveral students who used to struggle with sitting still or staying focused have really benefited from the flexible seating. One student who often felt restless now loves using a wobble stool, which lets them move while still paying attention. Another student who used to lose papers constantly now proudly checks and organizes their mailbox every morning. Watching these changes has been so rewarding. It's amazing to see how a few new tools can build confidence, independence, and joy in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1753122888849,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-classroom-from-scratch-with-l/9462991/","projectTitle":"Building a Classroom from Scratch with Love!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10079418_orig.png?crop=2632,2632,x357,y796&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752524275345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10079418"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_86990","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":564,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":34,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.9,"schoolId":86990,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bodine Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bodine Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/oklahoma-city-school-district/bodine-elementary-school/86990"}
