We have used the Play-Doh during math lessons, especially during our unit on shapes. Students were able to use the Play-Doh to create and represent both 2D and 3D shapes, which helped deepen their understanding in a hands-on way.\r\n\r\nThe new cushions have allowed students to read comfortably around the classroom, creating flexible and cozy reading spaces. We have also been using the snacks, hand sanitizer, and tissues as needed when friends forget to bring them or are not feeling well.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were amazed! They could not wait to explore everything. After we discussed expectations and how to use each item properly, they were so excited to dive right in.\r\n\r\nAs a next step, we plan to use the cushions during our first Reading Camp-Out Day. Students will use the cushions along with blankets to build forts and enjoy reading together in a fun, engaging way.","fullyFundedDate":1769451542517,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-englands-donorschoose-wishlist/10046560/","projectTitle":"Mrs. England’s DonorsChoose Wishlist","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. England","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10414349"},{"teacherId":6699668,"projectId":10044102,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project, Keeping Students Warm, Safe, and Focused. Your generosity will make an immediate and meaningful difference in the lives of my students. Many of them come to school on cold mornings without hats or gloves, and some arrive hungry and unable to fully concentrate on learning. Because of you, they will have warm hats, gloves, and healthy snacks to meet these basic needs. When students feel physically comfortable and cared for, they are better able to focus, participate, and succeed. Your support shows them that their well-being truly matters and that school is a safe, supportive place where they are valued.\r\n\r\nIn addition to these essentials, the other materials you helped provide—such as Play-Doh, reward items, classroom supplies, learning resources like the CVC word game, a standing desk, and a presentation clicker—will keep students engaged and motivated throughout the day. The privacy shields, pocket sleeves, scissors, pouches, and sticky notes will help replenish and organize our classroom, creating an environment where students feel secure and immersed in learning. Every item you contributed plays an important role in building a classroom community where students feel warm, supported, and excited to learn. Thank you for investing in their comfort, confidence, and success.","fullyFundedDate":1768998685106,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-students-warm-safe-and-focused/10044102/","projectTitle":"Keeping Students Warm, Safe, and Focused","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Caban","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6699668"},{"teacherId":558165,"projectId":9533457,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating the clean, flexible seating to our classroom.

From the moment it arrived, it has made a noticeable difference in how we learn and engage together. When my students first saw the easel, their eyes lit up with excitement and they immediately began suggesting ways we could use it, from making lists of character traits to solving math equations. It quickly became a central hub for our daily lessons, and its mobility has allowed us to move it around the room to suit both small group and whole group instruction.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments came during a recent math lesson on using base ten blocks to represent numbers. Students placed magnetic base ten blocks on the easel to represent 3 digit numbers. I then rolled the easel to my small group table so that I could refer to those models while assisting a small group of students with their independent work. Currently, we're diving into character traits in ELA. Students are using the easel to generate a list of character traits to refer to as we discuss the characters in our current story in depth. Your gift has not only enhanced our lessons but also empowered my students to take ownership of their learning.
