Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\nMy students are using the new board games as a way to recharge and connect with one another during the school day. One of my favorite moments has been watching students who may not always interact during academic activities sit together, laugh, encourage each other, and enjoy a friendly game. Seeing their personalities come out and watching them build friendships reminds me that these simple moments can make a big difference in the classroom.\r\n\r\n**How did your students react when they first saw the materials?**\r\nThey were genuinely excited! Students immediately gathered around the games, looked at all the choices, and started talking about which ones they wanted to try first. It was exciting to see their faces light up at something purchased specifically to make their classroom experience more enjoyable.\r\n\r\n**What are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?**\r\nWe will continue using the games as part of our classroom routine while encouraging students to practice teamwork, patience, communication, and good sportsmanship. I hope these activities will give students opportunities to connect, reset when needed, and return to their schoolwork feeling more focused.\r\n\r\n**Thank you to our donors for thinking of my students and supporting their classroom experience. ** Your generosity has given them more than just board games—it has given them opportunities to laugh, connect, build friendships, and enjoy being together.

Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are using the new resources every day to create an organized, welcoming, and engaging classroom environment. The pencils, mechanical pencils, colorful paper, dry-erase markers, and chart materials are being used during daily lessons, guided practice, independent work, and classroom projects. The storage trays and printer stand have also helped us keep important materials organized and easily accessible.\r\n\r\nThe Kleenex tissues and hand sanitizer are being used daily to help maintain a clean and healthy classroom. Students use tissues as needed throughout the school day, and hand sanitizer is available before and after classroom activities, especially when sharing materials or working together. Having these supplies readily available helps students take responsibility for personal hygiene while keeping our classroom environment comfortable and ready for learning.\r\n\r\nOne special moment was seeing my students use the colorful materials to complete classroom activities and projects. Having access to a variety of supplies allows students to express their ideas, participate more actively, and take greater ownership of their work.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new materials in our classroom. They especially enjoyed seeing the colorful paper, new writing supplies, and classroom decorations. Several students immediately asked when they could begin using the new supplies. Their excitement showed me how something as simple as having fresh, engaging materials can make students feel valued and more enthusiastic about coming to class.\r\n\r\nThe students also appreciate having a classroom that feels organized, comfortable, and inviting. The Kleenex and hand sanitizer have been especially helpful because they are supplies students use throughout the day. Students know they can access what they need without leaving the classroom, which helps minimize interruptions and allows us to stay focused on instruction.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using these resources during lessons that require students to read, write, discuss, and demonstrate their understanding. Students will complete classroom activities and projects that allow them to practice academic skills both independently and collaboratively.\r\n\r\nWe will also continue using the graph and array chart, dry-erase board, colored paper, and writing supplies to make learning more interactive and accessible. The classroom hygiene supplies will continue to support a clean and comfortable learning environment throughout these activities.\r\n\r\nThank you to the DonorsChoose community for investing in my students and helping provide the resources they need to learn, participate, and grow. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in our classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1777979694089,"projectUrl":"project/new-classroom-new-school-same-district/10253026/","projectTitle":"New Classroom, New School, Same District, Same Mission: To Educate","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tyesha Fulmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9585061_orig.jpg?crop=756,756,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752725852212","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9585061"},{"teacherId":3014809,"projectId":10171249,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!

The binders and tab dividers are helping students keep their notes, assignments, and important materials organized. The rulers, protractors, and compasses have been especially helpful during hands-on math activities where students are learning to measure, construct, and identify geometric figures. Highlighters are also helping students identify important information and key concepts as they work through lessons.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new supplies and immediately began looking through the materials. They were especially excited to have their own organized supplies to use in class. I heard comments such as, \"We have everything we need!\" and \"Now I don't have to worry about not having a ruler.\" Seeing their excitement reminded me how something as simple as having the right school supplies can make students feel prepared, valued, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue using these resources as students build their academic and organizational skills. Students will apply what they are learning through class assignments, hands-on activities, and independent practice. As they continue working with these materials, my goal is for them to become more confident, organized, and independent learners. Because of the generosity of our donors, my students now have resources they can use throughout the school year to support their learning and growth.

These calculators mean so much to my students and me. Over the past few weeks, I've watched them engage with math in a completely different way. Many donors use technology at home but may not see firsthand how it transforms learning in a classroom. These calculators have made complex problems feel manageable, students who once felt discouraged by multi-step equations are now working through them with confidence. What excites them most is the immediate feedback; they can check their thinking in real time rather than waiting until I grade their work.\r\n\r\nI've noticed some remarkable shifts in particular students. One student who typically avoids math altogether has started staying after class to explore the calculator's graphing features on her own. Another group of usually quiet students has become vocal problem-solvers, bouncing ideas off each other as they use the technology to visualize solutions. It's not just about having a better tool, it's about giving every learner a chance to think differently and discover that math can actually make sense to them.","fullyFundedDate":1777979693943,"projectUrl":"project/project-calculators-special-education/10247860/","projectTitle":"Project Calculators (Special Education)","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mulligan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9765772"},{"teacherId":2658250,"projectId":10011768,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting reading in my classroom. The books that you have donated will expand my classroom library to include diverse writers and characters. Reading independently for a sustained time period not only improves reading comprehension, but it also improves reading stamina, vocabulary and writing skills. In order to encourage students to read more, we need to make it engaging. \r\nHaving books in my library written by writers and featuring characters that \"look like\" my students encourages students to take a chance on reading. Often times, when students can identify with a writer or character, they learn that reading can be enjoyable. Getting students addicted to reading is the first step in improving skills that will translate into every class for the rest of their academic careers and beyond.\r\nYour donation has changed the face of my classroom library for the better and students have noticed.

Giving to my project, \"Plot in Pictures\" is so generous and kind. My students were beyond excited to receive new books for our classroom library. I have many students who have already checked those books out from the classroom library and who are reading and discussing them with their classmates. In fact, one student was so excited to read Jarrett J. Krosoczka's new book that he jumped up and grabbed it before anyone else was able to take it.\r\nI teach in a school where many students don't have the means to get books or have a parent take them to the public library. In addition, my school doesn't receive funds for the school library, so these books are needed. Proximity to books within the classroom is everything in growing life-long readers. These books will especially help my students who are learning English and who overall struggle with reading. Now, my students have a new selection of voices that they can read, internalize, and learn from.\r\nAgain, thank you.
