I have been able to use the new Cricut to make several exciting projects happen. In our classroom, we now have a wall celebrating our pen pals. We also have labels for our brag beads, which are motivational necklaces celebrating the accomplishments students have achieved. Students have also grown their love of reading with personalized bookmarks and a new Bluebonnet book display. \r\n\r\nI've also been able to use the Cricut to support other activities around the school. Our Teach Denton club is about to lead the pledges at a school board meeting, and because of your donation, they will have personalized shirts to wear. I am so very grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1751999377305,"projectUrl":"project/cut-out-boring-learning-with-a-cricut/9449032/","projectTitle":"Cut Out Boring Learning With A Cricut!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McPherson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4507999_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1498153080381","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmcpherson2"},{"teacherId":9993309,"projectId":9243012,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed in meaningful and exciting ways! With the addition of new STEM toys, my students now have access to a much larger variety of materials that allow them to explore, build, and create with curiosity and enthusiasm. It's been incredible to see both of my dual language groups—44 students in total—engage with these tools. Whether they're designing new structures, experimenting with motion, or working collaboratively on creative projects, the students are constantly challenged and inspired.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the STEM toys, the storage drawers placed at each table have made a huge difference in our daily routines. Students no longer need to leave their seats to retrieve items from their cubbies; instead, everything they need—folders, notebooks, and supplies—is right at their fingertips. This small change has increased efficiency and kept our learning time more focused and productive. Another exciting improvement is the addition of stools at my teacher table. I can now comfortably work with six students at a time instead of just three. The stools fit perfectly, allowing more students to join without crowding or discomfort. These changes have made our classroom more functional, engaging, and student-centered. I'm so grateful to all of you who helped make this possible—thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1747016548681,"projectUrl":"project/stem-and-storage/9243012/","projectTitle":"STEM and STORAGE","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ceren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9993309_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744060726296","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9993309"},{"teacherId":1519560,"projectId":9189080,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for the generosity you showed to my students and me. We started the school year with new software, and it has been wonderful to keep the continuity of our folder system for the younger grade levels. \r\n\r\nStudents have been using our crayons and pencils to write pledges to be good library patrons. They have also been thinking about what they would like to read and learn about. Being able to write about their wonderings has been wonderful.\r\n\r\nOur students are growing as readers and writers because of your generous contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1742956750328,"projectUrl":"project/readers-are-writers/9189080/","projectTitle":"Readers Are Writers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. B.'s Library","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1519560"},{"teacherId":4507999,"projectId":9223848,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for the gift cards that supported this project!

I want to introduce my students to typing skills, so I will be using some of the funds to purchase materials that support that.

The work menus have helped us stay organized, while providing fun opportunities for each learner.\r\n\r\nThey have also made it easy to differentiate for learners at different levels- everyone looks like they are working on the same thing- but they can be tailored to each individual!

Students use learning portfolios to collect of their assessment data. They are learning to self-monitor their academic growth, and the dividers really help organize their thinking. The Play Doh has been equally exciting as we use it for STEM activities. This week, we'll be using it to build a model of the moon as we learn about the phases it passes through. \r\n\r\nThank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support.
