The students were very excited to use the materials, specially the magnetic building blocks, they got the opportunity to become very creative with that one. I would say the funniest reaction was when I opened the box with the tissues, I did not know kids would be so happy to receive tissues. Our classroom is very cold and we go through them fast. The color pencils allowed them to transition from crayons and made them feel like big kids (their words not mine). The glue sticks also came in very handy, since they somehow always manage to disappear, for next year seriously considering giving them names so that students want to take care of them more. These are just a few examples of the positive impact your help had in our classroom, for next year we have so many ideas and plans which we hope you will be a part of.","fullyFundedDate":1739371417725,"projectUrl":"project/bright-minds-bright-futures/9015063/","projectTitle":"Bright Minds, Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mante","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9880142"},{"teacherId":9825007,"projectId":8917676,"letterContent":"I'm forever grateful for everything that was donated to my classroom.
