My students LOVED getting to try the new tempera cakes, especially the vibrant neon colors. It was our first time using them, and they were so excited to see how bright the colors turned out on their artwork. They've already been asking when they can use them again! The Kwik Sticks are also a class favorite, and having so many new colors to choose from has made creating even more fun for them.\r\n\r\nI'm always so happy to see my students get excited about the materials they get to use. They've already come up with so many ideas for what they want to create next, and I'm excited to keep finding ways to incorporate these supplies into our upcoming lessons.

While I haven't officially started mounting student artwork for the show just yet, these materials have already been so helpful in our art room. I've used the hot glue gun several times to organize and put things together around the classroom, and having so many Avery labels available means I can use them for a variety of projects, not just the art show. My students have already been creating beautiful artwork that we've started displaying in the hallway on black paper, and I'm excited to use the new materials to make their work stand out even more!\r\n\r\nAs we get closer to our art show, my next step is to begin mounting student artwork, adding labels, and creating bold titles to help bring our displays together. The magnetic hooks will make hanging artwork easier, and the Posca markers will be perfect for creating colorful, eye-catching titles. I'm excited to give students the opportunity to see their artwork displayed in a more professional way and celebrate all the hard work they've put into their projects.

My students truly loved our clay days, and they still talk about them weeks later. I constantly hear, \"When can we create with clay again?\" They were fascinated by the way the clay felt in their hands and were so excited to explore a material that was new to many of them. Even though we started with a smaller project, students were able to experiment with shaping, cutting, and building while developing their creativity and fine-motor skills.\r\n\r\nThis project has made such a lasting impression on my students and has made me even more excited to incorporate more three-dimensional art into our classroom. I am especially excited to try a larger clay project with my older students and continue giving them opportunities to create with their hands and see their ideas come to life.

The art utility cups have also helped me organize supplies like paint and make materials easier for students to access.\r\n\r\nThe mesh zipper pouches have become one of my students' favorite additions. Each student has their own tool kit, which has given them a greater sense of responsibility and ownership in our classroom. I have loved seeing students take pride in keeping their supplies organized and making sure their tools are ready for the next class. We also use some of the extra pouches to hold markers in the back of the room, so students know exactly where they can go when they need additional supplies. These small changes have made a big difference in how our classroom functions and how students care for their space.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for investing in our classroom and in my students. Your generosity has helped create an art room where students feel excited to learn, proud of their work, and responsible for the materials they share.

As the year comes to a close and I reflect on the things I am grateful for, y'all are on that list! \r\n\r\nI am a second year teacher, and this is my very first Donor's Choose project. I am just so thrilled that my first project received full funding, and that my students were able to use and enjoy the items so quickly. Like many teachers, I buy so many things for my students and our classroom, but this year I am under a bit of a tighter budget. I was worried that this might create a gap between needs and resources in my classroom, such as not being able to have as many fidgets for students who need them. All this to say, your financial support of my classroom is appreciated more than I can even express in words. I am thankful for your generosity and assistance everyday!\r\n\r\nNow, for the fun part! The biggest hit in my classroom has been the beautiful, colorful waterbottles. In the Texas heat, we always try to make sure our students have a water bottle with them at recess and PE. I started giving out the water bottles to students who didn't have them and then, of course, word spread between my classes and around campus that \"Ms. Hedekin gives out cool water bottles!\" Of course I needed to make an announcement about who these water bottles were for, but it was so sweet how excited they were. Students have picked out the color of their water bottles and even added a few stickers from our class treasure chest (which y'all also funded). We love how the water bottles are different colors and are insulated. They keep cold water cold, even on a hot Texas afternoon! They also are essentially spill-proof, which is a god send in the classroom! :) I truly didn't expect them to be so thrilled by colored water bottles, but my kids always remind me to be grateful and happy about even the smallest things. \r\n\r\nThe fidget pack for my classroom has also been a big hit. So many of my students benefit from using fidgets during instruction, so I am so glad to be able to provide them with these tools. When a student is restless in their seat, whispering to a friend, or constantly asking to get up, I notice an immediate change when they are able to access a fidget. Just having something to hold in their hands and focus their brain a bit more is genuinely transformative! A lot of my kids have nicknamed our new supply of fidgets \"fidgies.\" Again, my students are constantly reminding me (and hopefully y'all) that joy can be part of every day, and that this joy can be provided by something as simple as a fidget!\r\n\r\nThank y'all again for your generous support of me and my classroom. I can't thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1761937395597,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-essentials/9671190/","projectTitle":"Back to School Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hedekin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10235898_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756741624064","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10235898"},{"teacherId":8008558,"projectId":9265500,"letterContent":"Our students are loving their new canopy tents.
