The organizers and storage bins have helped us keep STEM tools and supplies easy to find, which has made lessons run smoothly and helped students stay focused. During a recent bridge-building activity, a group told me they felt like real engineers because everything was organized and ready for them.\r\nThe book tabs, dice, fidgets, and small prizes have also boosted motivation and independence during both STEM and literacy time. \r\nAs we move into our winter STEM projects, these resources will continue helping students work confidently, stay organized, and take pride in their learning space.

As you likely know, many students are in homes that are unable to provide literature and school is the only place they have access to books. With our cuts to librarians this has put a strain on my students access to school books, and as a result I am striving to grow my classroom collection to allow students more access to more knowledge! My students love the graphic novels and I cannot keep them on the shelves! Every day students race to get their favorite story before someone else.

Also we love the light overs, the students really enjoy seeing the galaxy patterns and although the photo doesn't capture it as well as I had hope ( I tried multiple times) they light covers really do help to filter out the harsh florescent light in the classroom. Additionally, the wall lights bring a lot of fun and whimsy to the rom, and I even use them as a visual reminder for how loud students can be with either red, blue or green to help them with their volume levels! So dual purpose!! woohoo. Thank you again for you support, my kids are loving the little extras we have in the classroom this year, as am I.

Because of you, my students and I are already putting our new resources to great use.\r\n\r\nWe are using the materials during our daily lessons and small-group work. Recently, we completed a project where students rotated through stations using the new tools to solve real-world math and science problems. At one station, students used the resources to build and test sundials, then recorded their observations and shared their results with the class. Watching them explain their thinking and help one another was a wonderful reminder of how powerful hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their faces absolutely lit up. I heard comments like, \"Is this really for us?\" and \"We get to use these today?\" Their excitement and curiosity set such a positive tone for our work together.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we are now able to take our current lessons a step further. Our next steps include having students use these resources to create a portfolio of data collected, revised work, and reflections on what they've learned. This will help them build not only academic skills, but also confidence, perseverance, and teamwork.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom. Your generosity has made a real and immediate difference for my students, and we are so grateful that you chose to be part of our learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1758255147045,"projectUrl":"project/organizecreateinspire-thriving-5th-g/9447949/","projectTitle":"Organize+Create+Inspire = Thriving 5th Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10071761_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758383240529","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10071761"},{"teacherId":6000005,"projectId":9482955,"letterContent":"I am beyond thrilled with out amazing this project is working out in my classroom!!

The new supplies have been game-changers in both daily routines and special learning moments. For example, our foldable utility cart has made it easier to transport materials between small groups, while the visual countdown timer has helped students manage their time independently during rotations and transitions. One particularly fun project we recently did was a behavior celebration station, where students used their stickers and reward wristbands to \"shop\" for treats like cookies and glitter sticky hands, earning rewards for great effort and kindness.\r\nThe motivational cards and wristbands have become beloved parts of our positive behavior system, and the file boxes are now home to student portfolios, making their work feel important and organized.\r\n The additional replacement items, like the dry erase board eraser and portable fan, have made our learning space even more comfortable and functional.

This enthusiasm has sparked a noticeable increase in their requests for additional books, as they are now more motivated than ever to explore new narratives. As the school year progresses, they are eagerly anticipating the number of stories they can immerse themselves in before the year concludes, showcasing a remarkable growth in their love for reading.\r\nAgain, I want to thank all of you for how you have contributed to my classroom.

Your kind donations have made a significant impact on our classroom, and I am truly appreciative of your commitment to enhancing the educational experience for my students.\r\n\r\nWith your contributions, I have been able to purchase additional resources through a TPT gift card to keep my students engaged and learning. The items, such as colored paper, reusable dry-erase pockets, colored pens, pencil pouches, a pencil dispenser, and a colored pencil sharpener, have become essential in maintaining a productive and organized classroom environment. These materials are used daily for both regular classroom activities and to create an effective testing space for students to succeed.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the storage bins and folders I've been able to buy have greatly helped in organizing content area units, making it easier for students to access materials, and allowing for the reuse of paperwork across multiple classes.
