The contribution is greatly appreciated and has already significantly impacted my students. \r\n\r\nThe kindness shown has provided a calming area for my students where they can go if they feel anxiety or need a \"break\" from the classroom expectations. The chart paper that was purchased allow my students to document collective work that takes place during their ELA block. The colorful notebook paper and pastel pencils have been used as \"special\" tools for their spelling tests. Only a few are chosen to use these supplies for their test. \r\n\r\nYour generosity sends such a powerful message to students that their education is valued and that people believe in their success. It truly fills a gap in the lives of many of my students because their home environment is much different than our classroom environment. \r\n\r\nThank you for being advocates for public education. We are grateful to have you as a part of our community classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756149273674,"projectUrl":"project/home-away-from-home/9523424/","projectTitle":"Home Away From Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Warren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4612106_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754006055264","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4612106"},{"teacherId":2215308,"projectId":8863221,"letterContent":"It took a while, but my students finally got the first copy of their newsletter.

Some kids are really getting into it. Other are still getting the feel for what it is like to come up with ideas on their own. I think the magazines are going to help them with that.
