We are truly grateful for the board game, thank-you cards, Velcro dots, laminating materials, and cork board you donated. Each item will play a meaningful role in helping our classroom run smoothly and creating joyful learning opportunities.\r\n\r\nThe board game will be used during our math and WIN stations to encourage teamwork, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. The thank-you cards will help us build a culture of gratitude as students practice writing notes of appreciation throughout the year. The Velcro dots and laminating materials are already helping us create durable, reusable hands-on activities that keep students engaged in their lessons. And the cork board will allow us to showcase student work, celebrate achievements, and keep our learning environment bright and organized.\r\n\r\nYour kindness directly impacts my students every single day.

Your generous donation has made a real difference in how we celebrate success and motivate our students each day.\r\n\r\nWe use these dye-free candies as part of our classroom reward system — when students meet their goals, show kindness, or demonstrate great effort, they earn a special treat. It's amazing to see how something so small can have such a big impact. One special moment was during our \"Kindness Challenge Week.\" Each time students were caught being kind, they earned a dye-free treat. The excitement and pride on their faces were priceless — everyone felt included, especially students who previously had to skip out on colorful rewards due to allergies or sensitivities.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new treats, they were thrilled! They loved hearing that they were all safe for everyone to enjoy. Several students even said, \"Now we can all have the same candy!\" It was such a heartwarming reminder of the power of inclusion.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the year, my students are using these rewards to stay motivated while we work on big goals in reading fluency and math problem-solving. The positive reinforcement has truly helped build their confidence and sense of community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom and making every student feel seen, included, and celebrated. Your generosity has created a lasting impact that goes far beyond candy — it's helped build a stronger, happier learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1758636757161,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-rewards-calmer-classroom-dye-/9457166/","projectTitle":"Colorful Rewards, Calmer Classroom: Dye-Free Treats for Focused Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leever","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8441549_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736958281525","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8441549"},{"teacherId":4684420,"projectId":9446342,"letterContent":"I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous contribution to our classroom.

By slipping worksheets or templates into these reusable sheets, students can use dry-erase markers to work through multiple problems or examples during math, reading, or writing lessons. This not only cuts down on paper use, but it also helps students feel more comfortable trying and correcting their work — mistakes are easy to erase and fix, which builds confidence and encourages a growth mindset.\r\n\r\nThe clear ten-drawer cart is used to organize charts, anchor visuals, and student paperwork. Each drawer serves a purpose — whether it's storing differentiated materials for small groups, keeping student work organized, or holding daily lesson resources. This system helps keep our classroom running smoothly, ensures students have quick access to what they need, and allows me to focus more on teaching instead of managing clutter.\r\n\r\nThese tools create a more efficient, engaging, and student-centered learning environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our classroom a place where kids can take risks, stay organized, and succeed!","fullyFundedDate":1750774772118,"projectUrl":"project/headphone-cart-and-storage/9331270/","projectTitle":"Headphone Cart and Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McDowra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4684420_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503632508714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4684420"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130629","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":607,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":130629,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jean Coleman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jean Coleman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/midlothian-independent-school-district/jean-coleman-elementary-school/130629"}
