They immediately began exploring them — opening the mailboxes, organizing their supplies, and proudly choosing a spot for their new materials. It felt like a mini celebration in our room. One student even said, \"It feels like we all have our own little space now!\"\r\n\r\nWe started using the new resources right away during our math block. One of my favorite moments was during a place-value activity. Students used the chair pockets to keep their math notebook and textbook organized and within reach. Instead of losing time searching for materials, they were able to grab what they needed quickly and jump right into the lesson. Their classroom mailboxes have also become a helpful place for storing their materials for math stations. \r\n\r\nMy students reacted with so much pride and ownership. They loved having their own designated spaces, and it has truly helped our classroom run more smoothly. Their organization skills have improved, and they feel more responsible for their materials — which has been wonderful to see.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a more organized, efficient, and student-centered classroom! Your support has made such a meaningful difference in how confidently and independently my students learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1762265299421,"projectUrl":"project/pocket-power-building-independence-thro/9499265/","projectTitle":"Pocket Power: Building Independence Through Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huerta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9798533"},{"teacherId":9648769,"projectId":8627697,"letterContent":"The resources you helped provide for my classroom have had a huge impact on our learning.
