Oh my goodness! What a gift these clickable dry erase markers has been. We do at least half of our work each day on white boards at the carpet area in the classroom. Previously, students dry erase markers would dry out constantly due to lost caps or the lack of hand strength to close the cap completely.\r\nNow that students each have a clickable dry erase marker, we have had no dried out markers.

My students were so excited to open the boxes and see the snacks, stickers, and emotional support stuffies.\r\nFirst graders seem to always be hungry. Many of them come to school hungry and do not have snacks provided from home. Having the snacks for those students has been so helpful.\r\nWe named the emotional support stuffies Fred and George. When kids are feeling upset, they can take one of the weighted stuffies to sit with for comfort. This little bit of weighted snuggle buddy helps students re-regulate and feel better.\r\nThank you again for your support of education.","fullyFundedDate":1765210470751,"projectUrl":"project/feeling-loved-promotes-learning/9780133/","projectTitle":"Feeling Loved Promotes Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp502020_orig.jpg?crop=403,403,x206,y10&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603408842642","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/502020"},{"teacherId":5932173,"projectId":9199368,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed in the most meaningful way. What may look like a simple desk, stylish accessories, and a VIP sign has become something so much bigger — a symbol of excellence, kindness, and possibility.\r\n\r\nThe VIP seating area has quickly become one of the most powerful motivational tools in our classroom. Students light up when they earn the opportunity to sit in the VIP space. It is no longer just about completing assignments; it is about demonstrating perseverance, showing kindness to classmates, and taking pride in their work.\r\n\r\nThe organized workspace and stylish supplies make students feel valued and special. When they sit at the VIP desk, they feel important. They sit taller. They focus longer. They write more thoughtfully. They truly take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nWhat has touched me most is watching students cheer for each other when someone earns the VIP seat. It has shifted the culture from competition to celebration. They see that excellence isn't just about grades — it's about effort, integrity, and kindness.\r\n\r\nAs a fifth-grade teacher, I constantly look for ways to build both academic growth and character development. This project has supported both in a tangible, joyful way.","fullyFundedDate":1743027312596,"projectUrl":"project/vip-seating-rewarding-excellence-and-ki/9199368/","projectTitle":"VIP Seating: Rewarding Excellence and Kindness!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Childers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5932173_orig.jpg?crop=373,373,x101,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1638304960576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-heidi-childers"},{"teacherId":8479662,"projectId":9983282,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for choosing to support the project I created.

We began the year with a focus on explicit, systematic instruction in letter names and sounds. The little kid mirrors have been instrumental in helping my students visualize correct sound formation. As we advanced, we utilized materials from the Science of Reading kits to systematically teach segmenting and blending words. Now, my students are mapping phonemes to graphemes (sounds to letters) and confidently reading the beginner BOB books you provided.\r\nMy English Language learners, along with the rest of my students, are experiencing remarkable growth through these engaging, hands-on learning tools. They are building confidence, mastering decoding skills, and most importantly, developing a love for reading because they are empowered to do it themselves.\r\nThank you for investing in the Science of Reading and, more importantly, in my students' futures.","fullyFundedDate":1749137079905,"projectUrl":"project/read-play-learn-inspiring-young-read/9115277/","projectTitle":"Read, Play, Learn: Inspiring Young Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rusoff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5629998_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746447478015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5629998"},{"teacherId":4805512,"projectId":9829649,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our Oregon 5th Grade Class!
