They were really excited about a presentation portfolio that we are already talking about how we are going to use after our field trip to NASA. \r\n\r\nThere were so many other items received that will be able to be used for years to come. The three hole punch will come in handy where we can assemble more pages at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1742397704235,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-for-beyond-extraordinary-stud/9080546/","projectTitle":"Essentials for Beyond Extraordinary Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Childress","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6877127_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1570462602524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wobbletobalanceddyslexia"},{"teacherId":9842744,"projectId":8953865,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredibly thoughtful gifts you provided.

It's clear that you put a lot of thought into selecting these items, and we are truly appreciative of your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.

I am expressing my gratitude for your generous donation to our Donors Choose project. Your contribution to the bubble lamp, binder rings, and candy has brought immense joy and excitement to our classroom. \r\n\r\nThe bubble lamp has created a calming and engaging environment for our students, making learning both enjoyable and comforting. It has quickly become a favorite feature in the classroom, captivating the children's attention and sparking their imagination. Students were excited to see the bubble lamp and Amazon boxes. Each morning I have one student volunteer to turn on the lamp. \r\n\r\nThe binder rings have been incredibly useful to hang our phone/calculator holder on the movable clothes rack. Students can place their phone in their numbered pocket while keeping the phone in their sight. \r\n\r\nLastly, the candy has been a delightful treat, serving as a motivational reward for the students' hard work and perseverance. It has added an element of fun and encouragement, driving the kids to put forth their best effort in all that they do. \r\n\r\nThank you for being such a thoughtful and generous supporter of our educational journey. Your kindness has left a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful for your support in enriching our learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1736359310802,"projectUrl":"project/replace-and-reward-our-calm/8814983/","projectTitle":"Replace and Reward Our Calm","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loud","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3751107_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x52,y101&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1576253214580","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3751107"},{"teacherId":6877127,"projectId":8963429,"letterContent":"My students were so happy to get books that were not \"baby books\" as they call them. \r\n\r\nThey are excited to read, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

They have made inferences what they think it is about and what they think might happen. \r\n\r\nIt is nice to see Junior High students excited about reading chapter books because with Dyslexia most of my students would rather not read and then have to discuss the literature.
