The clipboards have given students the flexibility to work comfortably around the room, encouraging movement and collaboration while staying focused on their tasks. The snacks and care items, such as deodorant wipes and bandages, have helped meet students' basic needs so they can feel confident, cared for, and ready to learn each day.\r\n\r\nHaving access to expo board cleaner has allowed us to keep our materials in great condition, making daily instruction smoother and more efficient. Overall, these resources have reduced distractions, increased student comfort, and allowed more time and energy to be spent on learning. Students are more engaged, prepared, and excited to participate, which has led to a more positive classroom environment and stronger academic growth.","fullyFundedDate":1776801415138,"projectUrl":"project/4th-grade-refresh/10207284/","projectTitle":"4th Grade Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hailey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8431079"},{"teacherId":8431079,"projectId":9824883,"letterContent":"I want to thank you again for your generous donations. The mini robot kits are now a key part of our STEM days. The students love working to build, and test their robots. \r\n\r\nThe colored paper is used daily for designing models, organizing ideas, and reflecting on learning. The mobile standing desk has become a favorite flexible seating option, especially for students who focus better when they can move. I also use it to move around the room easier during instruction.\r\n\r\nThe care closet snacks have been just as impactful. Students know they can grab a snack when they need one, which helps them stay focused and feel supported. The mochis, stress balls, and candy prizes are used as positive reinforcement for effort, teamwork, and growth. These small rewards have helped motivate students, ease anxiety, and create a joyful, encouraging classroom environment.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. There were wide eyes, big smiles, and lots of questions—especially about the robots and prizes. Several students expressed how thankful they were, and many were amazed that people they've never met cared enough to support their classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1765828692648,"projectUrl":"project/mid-year-refreshrestock/9824883/","projectTitle":"Mid-Year Refresh/Restock","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hailey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8431079"},{"teacherId":10070450,"projectId":9518617,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for investing in the Art program at Rio Vista Elementary! We are so grateful for the support and the impact these materials are having in our classroom! Art has been a blast so far this year and we are excited to continue creating and learning.

With this project I was able to keep snacks in our care closet a little longer and give my lower income students a little something in their stomachs during snack time. I love them being able to just go brag a snack and not have to feel left out or sit hungry watching their peers eating their snacks. I am also super excited to share that we did an unboxing together when I received my packages and the students lost it when they saw all of the fun books that I was able to get them because of you! I saved the best for last and we opened the Harry Potter books at the end.
