Without your support many of the items that we were able to get, would not be in our classroom. While we had to change our original plan we were still able to get items that put a smile on my students faces. \r\n One of the favorite items that came were birthday chair covers and they came just in time. I just happened to have my first classroom birthday and he was so excited to get to have something special on his chair. Also I was able to get a saucer folding chair and the kids have absolutely loved it. They can earn pompoms to sit in it and it has worked great.

I work in a low economic school district and students don't always have opportunities to get their hands on current books. \r\n Giving students access to new books keeps them hungry for more reading! I can't describe to you my students excitement when our new books arrived in our classroom. I had given them the opportunity to help pick the books we requested so they had huge by-in and couldn't wait to get them in their hands!\r\n The impact on my students interest in reading was a huge pay-off. They couldn't wait to read everyday and their grades improved not only in comprehension and understanding what they read more deeply but in other academic areas as well.

When the students saw me open the boxes that my donations came here they were so curious. I do teach first grade so at this age they still love getting presents. When I opened the box it had their cushions plus a math game they wanted to play right away. Of course I told them we would!!!\r\n\r\nSo first they all wanted a cushion to sit on and each of them already had the color they wanted picked out. I told them these where them to keep at their sits all the time and could use them when they wanted. They also take the cushions to the carpet when do our work from there. They love these cushions and use them all the time.\r\n\r\nSo cam our first time to play the math game \"Pop\". At first they thought it was a gum ball machine because of the box looks like gum balls. So I made teams and explained to them how to play the game. It started off rough, but they soon got the hang of it and absolutely love this game. They ask me to play it all the time. I love this game because it helps them learn addition and subtraction. I also change up how I decide who wins the game, so they never know and it keeps them on their toes. \r\n\r\nI want to thank you so much for the donations and helping my students become better at math!!!","fullyFundedDate":1734715843873,"projectUrl":"project/make-math-magical/8904746/","projectTitle":"Make Math Magical!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stevens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9816856"},{"teacherId":9588455,"projectId":8949928,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my students in the many activities we had on Read Across America Week. \r\n\r\nWe kicked off with a Book Tasting Party to celebrate his birthday!
