The supplies that I asked for are things that were used to help us organize or have what we need on a daily basis. Headphones are an important resource in my room that we use daily for our Reading and Math independent work. Because we use them everyday, they wear out and need to be replaced several times throughout the year. This project helped me to have new headphones ready for my incoming class to use. Each student was given a pair to keep in a ziplock bag with their name so that they didn't have to share with others. The dot labels helped to organize my library better so that it is easier to put books back where they belong. The ink was used to print out labels and vocabulary cards to go with our Reading curriculum. The tooth holders have been a hit with my students too. We have aleady had to use five so far this year!\r\n\r\nThank you so much again for supporting my class and our project for these supplies.

I have been using Scholastic News and Science Spin for years and I know that my students always love them. Every month we receive four different Scholastic News magazine sets and one Science Spin set. We spend a few days on each magazine going over the vocabulary, videos, the magazine articles, and finally the review game. I also print out the worksheets that go with each magazine to reinforce what we learned and to practice different Literacy skills.\r\n\r\nI have been using these magazines for many years and all of my students have thoroughly enjoyed them. They get to learn about different things such as back to school and classroom community subjects, learn about authors, different animals such as squirrels getting ready for winter, and an issue about Fall which also corresponds with what we were learning during Reading class.. I will continue to use the magazines for the rest of the year to support our Literacy skills and to help my students understand different Science and Social Studies topics.","fullyFundedDate":1751466387794,"projectUrl":"project/learning-with-scholatic-news-and-science/9382664/","projectTitle":"Learning With Scholatic News and Science Spin Magazines","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kohr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2007379_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1456707343809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-kohr"},{"teacherId":2007379,"projectId":9266420,"letterContent":"I want to start by once again saying THANK YOU so much to everyone who supported my project for pouches filled with supplies for my students to start out the year. Having the essential tools and supplies needed for school at the beginning of the year helps to start on the right foot because many of my students do not always bring in supplies. My students loved being able to pick out their own pouches and the color varities that they came in.\r\n\r\nHaving essential supplies such as pencils, erasers, and colored pencils is something that is needed on a daily basis to be a successful scholar. Having extra pencils on hand also helps to keep my classroom running smoothly because if they loose their pencils, they know where they can get new ones without effecting their learning. The pencil pouches have been mostly successful in keeping my students supplies organized too in their desks. Being able to find their supplies in a timely manner also helps with the efficiency of my classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting my project and my students!

I can gladly say that my students LOVE the treats that I picked out for them. I explained to them that these were healthy snacks that would help them focus in class and also give them good vitamins.\r\n\r\nMy students love the variety of treats to choose from such as the granola bars, mixed nuts, peanuts, almonds, goldfish, fruit snacks, and much more. The fruit snacks that I got in this project are covered in yogurt so they are extra yummy. When I get new snacks I tell students to pick something they might not have tried before and if they don't like it they can get something else. This allows them to be curious about new things but at the same time will be able to get something that they do like. They think that all of the snacks taste great (especially the honey roasted peanuts) and can't believe that they are all so healthy.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity!

During independent work, our students can now block out distractions, allowing them to truly focus on reading comprehension, digital learning assignments, and online testing. For students who need a quiet space in a bustling room, these headphones provide the perfect individual learning environment, helping to reduce anxiety and boost productivity.\r\n\r\nThe place value charts and reusable pocket holders have completely revolutionized our daily math warm-ups and practice sessions. This allows them to quickly wipe away mistakes, experiment with numbers, and practice concepts like regrouping and decimals in a low-stakes, interactive way. The bright, new markers are durable and visible, making peer-to-peer collaboration much easier.\r\n\r\nThese items are not simply supplies; they are investments in student independence, focus, and engagement. The pocket holders and place value charts will be used daily for years to come, minimizing paper waste and maximizing learning time. The headphones will provide essential support during the most important instructional and assessment periods.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and providing the high-quality tools they deserve. Your generosity has truly elevated our learning environment and will continue to impact student success long after this school year ends.","fullyFundedDate":1755785302110,"projectUrl":"project/math-tools-for-building-bridges-and-fill/9579583/","projectTitle":"Math Tools for Building Bridges and Filling Gaps","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Menoken","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7999252_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632672423345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/a-menoken"},{"teacherId":4091543,"projectId":9681262,"letterContent":"Your generous donation has made our Breast Cancer Awareness event a truly wonderful experience!!!

Technology is a very important resource that I use in my classroom to meet all of my students needs. The one thing that I was missing was more headphones to replace the ones that get broken from our everyday use.\r\n\r\nThe headphones are so useful because it not only helps to keep the noise level down but also helps my students to focus while they are doing their interventions. Every week my students have to complete at least 60 minutes in Lexia for their Reading intervention, their ILC for Math, Prodigy, Epic, and Splashlearn. The headphones have been helping them to focus more on their tasks and to get less distracted. When they are done with their classwork, they get to go to other websites that they can use to practice their reading and math skills. On Epic, they can listen to stories and watch videos on different topics. On Splashlearn and Prodigy, they get to play games and complete extra Math lessons that help reinforce what I am teaching them in class. These headphones make it possible for them to be engaged learners in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for providing my classroom with these invaluable resources that they use everyday!","fullyFundedDate":1744032914750,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-to-help-us-quietly-learn/9159294/","projectTitle":"Headphones to Help Us Quietly Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kohr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2007379_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1456707343809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-kohr"},{"teacherId":2007379,"projectId":9086034,"letterContent":"Thank you to everyone who supported my project and my students for a new vacuum and sprays to keep are classroom carpet fresh and clean.

Having paper is an essential supply that all teachers need. We have started new curriculums in the past few years and there are so many resources that we need to copy to have for small groups and whole group classwork that paper runs out very quickly. Copying other resources such as weekly homework and things like field trip forms also take up a large amount of paper each month. Thanks to this project I have been able to have enough copy paper in the classroom to print out all of the resources that I need daily to have a successful classroom. \r\n\r\nHaving cleaning wipes is another resource that my classroom goes through quickly. We use them twice a week to clean all desk and door surfaces to keep the germ count low. The crayons were a big hit with the kids because many of my students did not come to school this year with all of the supplies that they would need.
