Your kindness and investment in my students will make an immediate and lasting impact in our classroom every single day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students will no longer be confined to traditional, rigid desks. Having access to flexible seating—like bean bag chairs, wobble stools, and standing desks—gives them the freedom to choose a learning posture that suits their unique needs, helping them stay focused, engaged, and comfortable while they learn.\r\n\r\nYour support also ensures our classroom is fully stocked with everyday essentials that spark creativity and keep us safe. With glue sticks, my students can dive headfirst into hands-on art projects, STEM builds, and interactive science experiments that build both fine motor skills and critical thinking. Meanwhile, the cleaning and hygiene supplies you provided ensure that our space remains healthy, sanitized, and welcoming, allowing us to spend less time worrying about germs and more time focused on learning and growing.\r\n\r\nYou have not only provided physical resources, but you've also shown my students that a community of caring people believes in their potential.

The children have enjoyed coming in daily to check the growth. The day the seeds began to sprout after a weekend away the children were elated! I have heard from parents how their children want to begin hydroponic gardens at home. Parents are even excited to see the growth when pictures are posted on our ClassDojo. \r\n\r\nThe students are so excited to continue this project throughout the year. They continue to ask about growing various other types of seeds and comparing the growth of the hydroponic garden and more traditional methods. This truly has made them not only more understanding of how food grows but made them more adventurous hands-on scientists!","fullyFundedDate":1755707366250,"projectUrl":"project/lettuce-understand-how-food-grows/9278125/","projectTitle":"Lettuce Understand How Food Grows!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8914675_orig.jpg?crop=843,843,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1672878306003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8914675"},{"teacherId":10007639,"projectId":9441908,"letterContent":"I wanted to thank you again for your donation. My students were so excited to set-up their hydrophobic garden. I mean really excited!!! It was set-up in no time. They soaked seeds and soaked the sponges. They then planted the seeds in the sponges. Added the water to the tank and added nutrients in the water. They also labeled all the names of the seeds on the signs. The students are excited to watch their seeds grow. In addition, we worked in our student science workbook questions we would like to know. We uploaded 2 pictures.","fullyFundedDate":1757423403472,"projectUrl":"project/happy-healthy-hydroponic/9441908/","projectTitle":"Happy Healthy Hydroponic","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Follis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10007639_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y43&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756253773753","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10007639"},{"teacherId":2414007,"projectId":8963601,"letterContent":"Thank you for making our leveled library possible. In our kindergarten classroom, the new leveled books are being used during guided‑reading groups, literacy centers, and independent reading time so every child can choose texts that match their developing skills. One special moment came during a small‑group lesson when a child who usually avoids books surprised us by sounding out words from a level C text and proudly sharing the picture clues that helped them understand the story; the group celebrated with a simple book talk where classmates named their favorite part. When students first saw the baskets of new books they were excited and immediately gravitated toward titles that looked interesting .\r\n\r\nYour gift has given our kindergarteners books that meet them where they are, spark joy in reading, and build the confidence they need to keep growing.
