Thanks to your support, we have been able to enrich the learning environment for my first-grade students in ways that will have a lasting impact on their educational journey.\r\n\r\nThe stackable stools, bag chair pockets, and 5-tier file organizer have already made a remarkable difference. The students are absolutely thrilled with the new seating arrangements, which help them stay focused and comfortable during lessons. The bag chair pockets have helped them keep their materials organized and accessible, fostering independence and responsibility in a way that has energized their learning. The file organizer has been a game-changer in keeping our classroom tidy, ensuring that everything is easily accessible and that time spent searching for materials is kept to a minimum.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, I want to express our heartfelt thanks for your kindness. Your support goes beyond providing material goods—it creates an environment where my students feel valued, and that makes all the difference. You've not only invested in classroom supplies, but you've also invested in their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your contribution has had a direct, positive impact on these young minds. Your generosity is inspiring, and we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1755715203570,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-and-storage/9477899/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating and Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stevenson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3125915_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657961703563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tracy-oram"},{"teacherId":10186345,"projectId":9618654,"letterContent":"Oh my!!! My students were giggling and jumping up and down for joy when I showed them the materials that were donated. I can't thank the donors enough for their generosity. The rainbow rings were birds flying, the bean bags were kangaroos hopping, the bubbles were aquarium bubbles rising, the scarves were gliding swans. The students even decided to add an alligator to the mix so the slap stick was brought out for some more musical sound effects fun! It was the \"Carnival of the Animals\" come to life. \r\n\r\nThe materials are also wonderful for so many other uses. They have been wonderful to have, especially for the Autistic Support classes that I teach. Those students respond well to manipulative use and it creates more engagement opportunities. I've also used the scarves for songs of falling leaves and windy days. The rainbow rings were fun to use to sing \"Wheels on the Bus\" in a unique way. The slapstick will be getting some use during our holiday program during the song, \"Sleigh BAG\" to get that horse and sleigh feeling. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity. You've brought so much joy to the students and to me as well. Lessons become even more vibrant and engaging when the students can hold the instruments and/or manipulatives in their hands and can make the lesson come alive. We've had so much fun using the donations and I constantly finding new ways to use them in my music curriculum. Blessings to you all.","fullyFundedDate":1756575817030,"projectUrl":"project/carnival-of-the-animals-come-to-life/9618654/","projectTitle":"\"Carnival of the Animals\" Come to Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mohutsky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10186345"},{"teacherId":229540,"projectId":9313139,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to this project.

The storage containers are perfect for keeping supplies like pencils, markers, and glue organized, which helps students access materials more efficiently. They can also be used for sorting center activities or as turn-in bins for student work, making daily routines smoother.\r\n\r\nThe visual timer is a great addition for classroom management. It provides students with a clear understanding of how much time they have left for tasks, transitions, or breaks. This is especially useful for helping students stay on task and manage their time independently, fostering responsibility and focus during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic clips will be perfect for displaying student work on the whiteboard or metal surfaces. They can also be used to rotate vocabulary words, anchor charts, or job assignments. These tools will help create a more organized and visually engaging classroom environment, while also celebrating student success.","fullyFundedDate":1746785582044,"projectUrl":"project/support-a-clutter-free-classroom-help-u/9159695/","projectTitle":"Support a Clutter-Free Classroom: Help Us Get Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cassy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8532117"},{"teacherId":3125915,"projectId":8653393,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations ot my classroom.
