Students love their handy math notes copied on bright paper. Our new pencil sharpener is a huge hit! We love that we can send it around the class instead of students moving around. Having simple supplies, like glue, for example, make classroom life a bit less stressful. There is plenty of glue for everyone to use. Having pencils for everyone without the stress associated with not being prepared is fantastic. I have been able to purchase supplemental materials to support my math and science programs. These extra activities help keep students engaged and often give them an alternative to traditional worksheet activities. I was able to purchase task cards for each math standard, copied them onto my donated colored paper, and now I have a center activity that helps my students review or relearn specific tasks. I was able to create beautiful anchor charts to post around the classroom using the chart paper and markers. I am so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1777980032101,"projectUrl":"project/spectacular-student-supplies/10218561/","projectTitle":"Spectacular Student Supplies!","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":8978171,"projectId":10141753,"letterContent":"Thank you once again for your generosity.

What you have all given me and, more importantly, the students in my classroom cannot honestly be described in words. I have worked for this particular school for over two years and have been purchasing close to all the materials needed to run a functioning, cohesive classroom. The rugs you donated were so needed and beyond appreciated by the paraprofessionals in my classroom, the children in my classroom, the families of the children in my classroom, and me. The materials you supplied us with may have gone quickly; however, any help is huge help! Each morning, three of my students head straight to the reading corner where the Bojo rainbow rug lies and prior to that rug being there, few students ever went to that area of the room without being asked to. It is now the most popular room in the class. \r\n I teach an Autistic Support class with ten students, ages ranging from six to nine. They are very intelligent and notice everything. I loved the looks on their faces when they saw the new rugs and other supplies you donated to us. I wish I could post a picture of the kiddos because other pictures do not do what you have given us justice.\r\n I have always had a very difficult time asking for help, and I enjoy being the giver, so even writing this card is somewhat hard as it is out of my comfort zone. With that said, I am so gratful for your support and generosity. I am still in shock people are so kind to donate so much to a teacher and her class.","fullyFundedDate":1756103398703,"projectUrl":"project/special-ed-class-needs-your-help/9640795/","projectTitle":"Special Ed Class Needs Your Help","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jessica","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10214177_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755847056328","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10214177"},{"teacherId":514610,"projectId":9287017,"letterContent":"Your generous donations have helped our school year begin on the right foot.
