Our 5th graders have been busy using their study sheets on colorful paper and using our new headphones daily. \r\nMany of the resources I asked for are to simply keep our class running smoothly. When students have what they need, it makes learning a bit easier. \r\nFormer students have come to visit our classroom and are jealous of our new headphone options. They wish they had them last school year! Students are thankful for the opportunity to borrow a missing supply. They are respectful when using our new equipment as well. \r\nAs our school year progresses, students will continue to utilize the needed supplies that you were able to give to us. We will create projects about constellations using our new construction paper. I will continue to find supplemental resources to use with our 5th graders in math and science using the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card. Thank you again for your kindness. It is appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1746482314127,"projectUrl":"project/preparing-to-support-my-students/9287017/","projectTitle":"Preparing to Support My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Matteo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp514610_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1458240703028","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-matteo"},{"teacherId":8915252,"projectId":9523202,"letterContent":"Thank you for the thoughtful contribution to my project!

When they get five stickers by Friday, they can cash them in for prizes such as the toys that were also given as part of this project.\r\n\r\nThe students are thriving with all the correct tools needed to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1754530180311,"projectUrl":"project/primary-writing-supplies-and-more/9523202/","projectTitle":"Primary Writing Supplies and More","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rohland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8915252_orig.jpg?crop=284,284,x195,y256&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673646913498","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8915252"},{"teacherId":8978171,"projectId":9352374,"letterContent":"Thank you all so much for your generous donation to our classroom.

Your thoughtfulness has truly made a huge difference in our lives and daily classroom routines. We are very appreciative of the stools and benches that were purchased for our classroom. The benches and stools have provided flex and optional seating that a traditional classroom doesn't. We can work in pairs, play games with partners or small groups. The benches also provides a hub for sharing strategies and discussing our thinking. Last, but not least, the stools and benches have provided us with opportunities to be leaders and foster confidence through our fish bowl protocol. It has been so exciting to have other places to sit and complete work besides a desk. We can't wait to be assigned benches when we have to work in pairs or triads.\r\nOnce again, thank you from the bottom of our cushy stools and the luxe feel of our benches for everything that you have done for our classroom.
