This project wasn't just about gift bags — it was about sending my students into summer with confidence, pride, and tools to keep learning.\r\n\r\nWe have already started using many of the items in class. Students eagerly picked out their bookmarks and immediately tucked them into their favorite books during reading time. Several students opened their journals right away and began writing notes, drawing pictures, and reflecting on their favorite memories from the year. Even the simple things like fun pencils and erasers brought so much excitement.\r\n\r\nWhen I first showed them the materials, their reactions were priceless. There were huge smiles, happy gasps, and so many \"These are for us?!\" comments. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping me celebrate my students and for reminding them that their hard work matters. Your kindness made the end of our year joyful, meaningful, and unforgettable.","fullyFundedDate":1746698845810,"projectUrl":"project/gifts-for-my-2nd-grade-stars/9281654/","projectTitle":"Gifts for My 2nd Grade Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bailey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9538996_orig.png?crop=981,981,x112,y112&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715479809672","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/summerbailey"},{"teacherId":10014575,"projectId":9321965,"letterContent":"I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for the cube seats for my classroom!

Because of you, our classroom is now a more comfortable, supportive, and engaging place for our youngest learners.\r\nThe cube chairs you provided have already made a meaningful difference. Many of my students benefit from extra sensory and physical support, and these chairs give them a safe space where they can focus, regulate their bodies, and fully participate in circle time learning activities. Whether we are reading stories, working in small groups, or practicing early skills, the cube chairs help my students feel secure and ready to learn.\r\nThanks to you, students who once struggled to sit and attend are now more confident, calm, and engaged. These chairs have become an important tool in helping each child reach their full potential.\r\nYour kindness and belief in our students mean more than words can express.

One of the most memorable moments was seeing how seriously they took the responsibility of using the wipes to clean their tables. They were proud to \"get rid of germs\" and took ownership of keeping our space clean and healthy. The snacks have also made such a big difference. Students who were once tired or distracted in the afternoons now have more energy and focus, and it's made our learning time so much smoother. They always ask if it's snack time with big smiles. \r\n\r\nRecently, we've been reading stories and learning about how germs spread and how to keep ourselves healthy. It's been amazing to hear my students connect those lessons to the supplies we received—things like, \"That's why we wipe our desks!\" or \"Snacks help our bodies stay strong!\" Thanks to your donation, my kids are not only learning academically but also building lifelong habits about health and responsibility.
