As a first year teacher, making sure my classroom is a place for my students to grow academically with the materials they need is very important to me. The storage that you have helped me to utilize for my classroom has been very helpful to me for storing extra supplies for students, decorations, prizes and more. \r\n\r\nWith some of the storage bins purchased, I was able to have bins of extra supplies for my students to use if they need it. As an ELA teacher, we do a lot of writing, highlighting and drawling. There is bins in my classroom for extra colored pencils, pencils, markers, crayons, scissors, lined paper, and glue sticks. I also have flexible seating in my classroom such as my bean bag chair in my library corner that my students use daily and love.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are very grateful for your generous donation, thank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1750656876771,"projectUrl":"project/storage-keeps-a-classroom-organized/9420649/","projectTitle":"Storage Keeps a Classroom Organized","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058580_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y370&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751729837249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10058580"},{"teacherId":183161,"projectId":9293226,"letterContent":"Thank you for allowing my students to experience Scholastic News Magazines and Science Spin.

The digital kitchen timer allows students to manage their time during activities and practice sessions, so they can focus and work steadily. The gel pens and expanding file folders help them keep their work neat and easy to access, and the candy adds a little fun incentive during lessons. For example, during a recent math activity, students used the timer to complete a set of problems in small groups. Having the materials ready helped lessons run smoothly and kept students focused and motivated.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new supplies, they were excited to try them out and immediately wanted to put them to use. Even simple things like gel pens and folders made their work feel more organized and professional. Moving forward, we plan to continue using the timer for self-paced activities and encourage students to organize their projects in the folders. These resources are making lessons more interactive, helping students stay on task, and giving them small ways to celebrate their progress along the way.","fullyFundedDate":1757682705706,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-math-class-thrive/9690527/","projectTitle":"Help Our Math Class Thrive!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rubin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10194394"},{"teacherId":10194394,"projectId":9629977,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our math classroom has gained tools that make learning more engaging and efficient. The HP OfficeJet Pro printer and original HP ink cartridges help me prepare high-quality practice sheets, problem sets, and visual aids quickly, so students have the materials they need without delays. This allows lessons to run more smoothly and keeps students focused on solving problems and exploring concepts rather than waiting for handouts. With reliable printing at my fingertips, I can spend more time supporting students and guiding their learning during class.\r\n\r\nThe Post-it Dry Erase Whiteboard Film has added a new way for students to explore math ideas. They can work on the walls and tables to show their thinking and solve problems, which makes lessons feel more interactive. Students enjoy having a space where they can try different approaches and make changes easily. It has also encouraged more participation, as students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and working together. This new tool has made math more engaging and has helped students think through concepts in a hands-on way.","fullyFundedDate":1756773318887,"projectUrl":"project/successful-math-class/9629977/","projectTitle":"Successful Math Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rubin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10194394"},{"teacherId":1174531,"projectId":8768576,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the passports and stamps! I'm so excited to use them with my students for our new EL Literacy curriculum. Our first Module is about libraries around the world so we can \"stamp\" our passport when we read about each different country. \r\n\r\nOur second Module is all about Frogs. We can use our passports and stamp them when we read about a frog and what country it can be found in. \r\n\r\nMy students thought this concept was pretty neat because many of them do not have a real passport and have never traveled outside of our country. \r\n\r\nThis is a really great activity and will help my students with understanding their reading and social studies (geography and maps).","fullyFundedDate":1735510704519,"projectUrl":"project/around-the-world-in-180-days/8768576/","projectTitle":"Around the World in 180 Days","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Warren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1174531_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457787930286","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1174531"},{"teacherId":1174531,"projectId":8982824,"letterContent":"My students love their seat sacks!

They are really sturdy to hold all of our materials, also. \r\n\r\nI am going to continue using the seat sacks next year, as I will be in the same classroom.
