This year, as I return to teaching Language Arts along with Math and Science, your contribution has made it possible to bring a brand-new level of excitement and creativity to our writing lessons.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom now has the tools and resources to launch a writing station that inspires every student to write with confidence and joy. From colorful folders to engaging writing prompts, these materials have already transformed writing time into one of the most anticipated parts of our day.\r\n\r\nMany students often view writing as a challenge, but with these new resources, they are discovering that it can also be fun and rewarding. I've already seen their enthusiasm grow as they explore different ways to express themselves through stories, journal entries, and thoughtful written responses. The writing station has created a safe and inviting space where all students feel encouraged to share their voices.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students the tools they need to strengthen their writing skills and prepare for their STAAR written responses — but more importantly, it has given them the confidence to believe in their abilities as writers.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me nurture a classroom full of creative, capable, and motivated writers.

Each year, I'm fortunate to teach an incredible group of third graders who come to school full of energy, positivity, and an eagerness to learn. Thanks to your kindness, our learning space now reflects that same enthusiasm and joy.\r\n\r\nOur new classroom carpet has truly transformed our mornings and our learning environment. Every day, my students gather together for morning meetings—sharing thoughts, setting goals, and connecting as a classroom family. Now, instead of sitting on a worn-out, faded rug, they have a bright, comfortable space that feels warm, welcoming, and full of life. The smiles on their faces when they first saw it said it all!\r\n\r\nBeyond morning meetings, this carpet has quickly become the heart of our classroom. It's where we read together, collaborate in small groups, and celebrate our successes. It has made our classroom feel like a true community—a place where students are excited to come together, learn, and grow.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and helping make our classroom a brighter, happier place. Your generosity will have a lasting impact, and my students and I will always remember the kindness that made this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755539448717,"projectUrl":"project/meeting-in-style/9373105/","projectTitle":"Meeting in Style!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Randle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4076034_orig.png?crop=741,741,x0,y4&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657580829901","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4076034"},{"teacherId":2680937,"projectId":9399901,"letterContent":"I want to let you know how much we are enjoying the new carpet that you helped get for our classroom. \r\n\r\nThe carpet had not arrived for our Meet the Teacher event, so the classroom looked like it was missing something integral. I made sure to tell everyone that we were waiting on a special surprise for that area of the classroom. The very next day the carpet arrived and I immediately rolled it out. Wow! It was so much cuter than I could have imagined and it matched our classroom theme perfectly. It made the excitement of the first day of school even better. When the students came into the room they were excited to see such a fun carpet on the floor. \r\n\r\nThe carpet is the center of attention in the classroom. It is bright and happy and matches perfectly with the rest of the classroom. We sit on our carpet as a whole group multiple times a day and the group fits perfectly. The students also go there to read their books, work with a partner, put a puzzle together and so much more. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity.

Instead of using traditional worksheets, my students now get to learn through play and the difference in their motivation and participation has been incredible.\r\n\r\nThese games have also encouraged teamwork and communication, allowing students to interact in a positive, relaxed, and collaborative environment. It's been wonderful to watch them support each other, think critically, and grow more confident as readers.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these materials help me reach the wide variety of learning styles in my classroom. Whether a student thrives through hands-on activities, social interaction, or visual learning, these games offer something for everyone.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom.

With this project, we've been able to dive even deeper into reading by pairing these books with lessons from The Ramped-Up Read Aloud, a resource I use to guide meaningful conversations and critical thinking around genre, story structure, and so much more.\r\n\r\nThese books have sparked rich discussions about empathy, differences, creativity, and emotional growth, while also supporting our academic standards in reading and writing. Students have been excited to not only analyze illustrations and rhyme but also to use what they've learned in their own writing pieces. It's been amazing to watch them transfer those insights into their personal stories and classroom work.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, my students are becoming thoughtful readers, deeper thinkers, and more confident writers.
