With your donations, we have made a strong start to the school year. There are plenty of supplies for each student to effectively work on activities and lessons with paper and pencil, whiteboards, and markers. The various flashcards and manipulatives will support intervention activities with students who need a little extra support to grasp concepts that aren't sticking with our whole-group activities. Our desks and cubbies have been well organized thanks to the pouches and bags for our materials. We appreciate you for thinking of us and for the willingness shown to provide us with tools and supplies to support our learning. Thank you.\r\n\r\nThe supplies provided, including headphones, pouches, markers, and erasers, have helped us immensely in many ways, but lately they have been specifically helpful for our math lessons to show our work on various problems with whiteboards and then to complete independent work on our computers and complete assessments as well.","fullyFundedDate":1787144063279,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-supply-starting-strong-from/10505989/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set, Supply!

This has had a major impact on my classroom in a variety of ways. The first way is my students' learning. Is has enabled them to manipulate objects with their hands. It has made them use their minds to deepen their thinking. Because of these new items, we were able to accomplish learning in ways that were not possible before. \r\nThank you for helping my students become knowledgeable with the help of manipulatives. The students are learning by creating a space where they can explore and grow. This is most exciting to my students because they are able to explore on their own without explicit instructions. These products have been so beneficial to my students, especially those who occasionally struggle, because it allows them to be creative and let them have an outlet to move.","fullyFundedDate":1787147401713,"projectUrl":"project/second-grade-stem-superstars/10405265/","projectTitle":"Second Grade STEM Superstars!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Favero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10559953"},{"teacherId":8035723,"projectId":8899030,"letterContent":"These materials will have a direct impact on student learning by providing structured, evidence-based reading instruction and the tools needed to increase student engagement and participation. The UFLI manual and individual dry-erase boards will support explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading skills, while journals and reusable materials will allow students to practice, respond, and demonstrate their learning in small-group and individualized settings. Classroom organization materials will help create an efficient intervention space, and student incentives and snacks will support a welcoming environment where students are motivated to participate and persevere through challenging learning tasks. Together, these resources will help me provide consistent, engaging, and responsive instruction while supporting students in building confidence, independence, and stronger reading skills.","fullyFundedDate":1733170507183,"projectUrl":"project/lets-celebrate-reading-and-writing/8899030/","projectTitle":"Let's Celebrate Reading and Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rogers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8035723_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748183813210","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8035723"},{"teacherId":6957102,"projectId":10466736,"letterContent":"This resources helped scholars have all the basic necessary supplies to be successful and they can focus on their education more.\r\n\r\nWhen students do not have access to the basic supplies, they begin to fall behind in completing their assignments or they do not come to school.

Your generosity has helped provide materials that make project-based learning more engaging and meaningful for my students. We recently used the ChompSaw kits during engineering activities, including designing and testing egg drop containers and building solar ovens. These projects gave students the opportunity to apply science concepts, collaborate with classmates, and learn through trial and error.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were excited to see that they would be using real engineering supplies instead of just reading about the concepts. They immediately started brainstorming ideas, asking questions, and thinking about how they could improve their designs. It was fun to watch students become invested in the projects and celebrate both successful designs and opportunities to make improvements.\r\n\r\nThese resources will continue to be used throughout the year as we complete additional STEM and project-based learning units. Students will keep designing, testing, revising, and reflecting while building problem-solving and teamwork skills.
