With your support, we were able to purchase a mobile student work organizer that will make a tremendous difference in our daily routines.\r\n\r\nIn 3rd grade, students are learning not only academic skills but also the important life skills of organization and independence. This new organizer gives them a central place to store their books, workbooks, and materials, helping them stay on top of their responsibilities throughout the day. Students will use it daily to keep track of their classwork, while teachers now have a consistent, organized home for distributing graded papers and materials.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom will run more smoothly, and students will continue to grow into responsible, independent learners. This resource will benefit not just this year's group of students but many more in the years to come.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your support in helping create a more organized, efficient, and student-centered learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1746787413400,"projectUrl":"project/organized-learning/9247970/","projectTitle":"Organized & Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nance","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1833954_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521651372082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/morgan-nance"},{"teacherId":1833954,"projectId":9215570,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous support in funding our classroom subscription to Scholastic News.
