The excitement was instant the moment my students saw the materials—eyes wide, hands bouncing with anticipation, and smiles that could light up the whole school. We got to use the new resources right away during a winter-themed STEM challenge, and it was incredible watching my little scientists collaborate, problem-solve, and proudly test their creations. These materials made it possible for them to explore real-world science concepts in a hands-on, meaningful way that keeps them fully engaged.\r\n\r\nYour generosity created opportunities my scholars wouldn't have otherwise experienced. Several students who can sometimes feel hesitant in academic settings absolutely shined during our STEM activities. The new supplies helped them step into leadership roles, ask deeper questions, and show confidence in their thinking. Their reactions—gasps, giggles, and even a few \"WOW, we get to use THIS?!\"—showed just how much your support means to them.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our class has a stronger foundation for STEM learning moving forward. These materials will continue to support upcoming lessons in engineering design, scientific exploration, and collaborative problem-solving all year long. Thank you for giving my students the chance to learn in ways that spark curiosity, build resilience, and make school feel magical.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\nMrs. Young & the First Grade Scientists","fullyFundedDate":1763595366764,"projectUrl":"project/holiday-stem-magic-for-first-grade-scien/9898675/","projectTitle":"Holiday STEM Magic for First Grade Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1923851_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x82,y256&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628457365818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsyoung0"},{"teacherId":1923851,"projectId":9629435,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our \"Buckets of STEM Fun for Curious Minds\" project! Because of your generosity, our classroom now has Legos, magnetic tiles, and wooden blocks that have quickly become my scholars' absolute favorite way to wrap up their day. Every afternoon during dismissal, you can find them joyfully building cities, towers, and tiny inventions—hands busy, minds focused, and smiles everywhere.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their excitement was priceless. They immediately began imagining habitats, designing animal homes, and creating scenes inspired by our nonfiction unit. These hands-on tools have turned abstract ideas into something real and touchable for them. During indoor recess or choice time, they collaborate, problem-solve, and proudly share the stories behind their creations. Their confidence and creativity have grown so much in such a short time.\r\n\r\nYour support gave my students a space to explore, engineer, and dream every single day. Our next steps include using these materials for writing prompts, science extensions, and STEM challenges that build on their love for constructing.

From the very first day it was set up, this space has been making a powerful difference in our classroom. It offers scholars a safe and inviting place to pause, breathe, and work through their feelings so they can return to learning with a clear mind and a calm heart.\r\n\r\nOne of my scholars has always had a hard time managing big emotions. In the past, when he became overwhelmed, he would sometimes hit himself in the head and had difficulty controlling his big emotions. Since introducing the Calm Corner, I have watched him choose to go there instead. He sits quietly, uses the tools, and focuses on his breathing. The transformation has been incredible. His episodes are less frequent and far less intense, and he is learning to recognize his feelings before they get too big. Watching him return to his seat calmer, more confident, and ready to participate has been such a beautiful thing to witness.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students more than a comfortable spot to rest. You have given them a space to practice self-control, emotional regulation, and healthy coping strategies that they can carry with them into every part of their lives. Thank you for believing in our scholars and for helping to create a classroom where every child feels safe, supported, and valued.","fullyFundedDate":1746786378882,"projectUrl":"project/calm-corner/9312356/","projectTitle":"Calm Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bentley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8369917_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747853663939","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8369917"},{"teacherId":1923851,"projectId":9319446,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping make our Hawaiian Aloha 1st Grade party a huge success!

In pre-K grade through first grade a good pencil is literally everything. It matters so much more than people realize. At this foundational level, our scholars are learning how to write, developing stamina in writing, and learning what to write. They are also moving developmentally from the process of learning how to write to the process of writing to learn. A proper pencil should be the least of their worries, but often it is the most. Proper pencils are hard to come by. They can be costly and the amount of pencils scholars go through in a week, a month, a quarter, a semester and then a year is shocking! I would actually love to see the statistics. Thank you so much for giving my scholars one less thing to stress about so that they can prioritize their learning and academic growth. It really does mean more than you could ever know to both the scholars and their dear teacher.
