The materials you provided helped make our end-of-unit celebration a wonderful success. Students were delighted to walk into a room transformed with Candyland-themed decorations, which added a special and magical touch to the day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, all of our fourth-grade students were able to play Candyland in small groups, allowing everyone to participate and enjoy the experience together. The students especially loved learning about the history of the game and discovering that it was created by a woman with polio who designed it to bring joy to children facing the same illness. This meaningful connection made the activity even more memorable.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped create a fun, engaging, and educational experience that our students will remember for a long time.

Although the books arrived after we had completed our inventor's unit last school year, the students were still excited to explore them and enjoyed learning even more about the inventors they had been studying. The books sparked additional curiosity and helped extend their learning beyond the unit itself.\r\n\r\nI am especially excited that this year's class will be able to use these materials during the unit. Having these resources available from the beginning will provide students with more opportunities to engage with the content, deepen their understanding, and connect with the inventors' stories in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping create richer learning experiences for the students. These books will be a valuable addition to our curriculum for years to come, and I am so grateful for the impact they will make on student learning and engagement.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and their education.","fullyFundedDate":1778022377258,"projectUrl":"project/eureka-books-for-bright-minds/10244017/","projectTitle":"Eureka!

Your generosity helped us create an exciting and immersive learning experience that made reading feel like a true adventure for my students.\r\n\r\nThe students really enjoyed having a variety of books to explore different perspectives and connect literature to history. It was helpful to have a variety of reading levels so all students were able to participate.\r\n\r\nThe pirate-themed dress-up materials and decorations made our end-of-unit celebration especially memorable. Students had the opportunity to celebrate their hard work, showcase what they learned, and enjoyed a fun experience that reinforced the concepts they explored throughout the unit.","fullyFundedDate":1778022377394,"projectUrl":"project/treasure-trove-of-texts/10243185/","projectTitle":"Treasure Trove of Texts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Spencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp556897_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556942525564","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jami-spencer"},{"teacherId":10177663,"projectId":10160716,"letterContent":"My students loved using the new markers and art drying kit! Throughout the school year, we used the markers for classroom art projects, giving students a fun and creative way to bring their ideas to life. They were so excited when they first saw the new materials and loved experimenting with all the colors. The art drying kit gave us a safe and organized place to dry and display their artwork, which helped students take even more pride in their creations. These resources added so much to our classroom art experiences and allowed my students to express their creativity while connecting their artwork to what we were learning in class. I'm so grateful to our donors for making these creative experiences possible, and I look forward to continuing to use these materials with future students and giving them the same opportunities to create, explore, and be proud of their work!","fullyFundedDate":1778022377111,"projectUrl":"project/creating-colorful-thinkers/10160716/","projectTitle":"Creating Colorful Thinkers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Severson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10177663_orig.jpg?crop=1920,1920,x0,y121&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755198345815","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177663"},{"teacherId":556897,"projectId":10242988,"letterContent":"Thank you again for helping provide a class set of books for my classroom.

My bigger classes are so happy that everyone can choose to have a stool when they want one, instead of being disappointed if they were the fourth student to arrive. \r\n For some of the more wiggly kids, the stools are a lifesaver. They struggle to sit in the hard classroom chairs without fidgeting and causing distractions to the lesson. They can wiggle around while they read and it doesn't matter. I love that they can move around without having to leave the semicircle desk. They also like that there are different colors. \r\n Stools are expensive and I so appreciate the donation so that I can spend my personal money on other things for the students.

It has made a huge difference in how my assistant can teach!\r\n She uses one side for her SIPPS (reading) wall. It holds all the little picture/letter posters of the sound spellings. She uses it daily with her reading classes. It is so helpful that she can just pull the whiteboard close to her u table and point to the sound poster needed instead of having to get up and walk to the window like she was doing. \r\n On the other side, she is able to use the different colored dry erase markers with her math classes. Having multiple colors is so great for showing the sequences of solving math problems. She is also able to leave a lesson from one day to the next, which is so helpful for her. Because the whiteboard isn't behind her table on the wall, it is easier for students to come up to participate in the group lesson. The students love getting to have a space where they can participate. \r\n The size is perfect for the space we have. Having it on rollers allows us to move it around to where we need it. Our principal is so happy with how it has improved our efficiency in teaching. This has really a blessing in our teaching lives.
