When students first saw the hats, gloves, socks, books, and craft materials, their reactions were immediate and heartfelt—smiles, excited whispers, and a few quiet moments of pride as they realized everyone was receiving the same care and attention. The \"positive pickle\" ornaments, a nod to a long-running class joke, sparked laughter and connection, reinforcing the idea that our classroom is a community where shared experiences matter.\r\n\r\nWe are using these resources in meaningful ways throughout our daily routines. Students have begun reading their new chapter books during independent reading time, proudly using their handmade bookmarks. The gingerbread ornament craft became a powerful class activity, giving students the opportunity to create a gift for someone else—an experience that encouraged generosity, thoughtfulness, and reflection. Many students shared who they planned to give their ornament to and why, turning the project into a lesson on kindness and gratitude.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these materials continue to support both academic and social-emotional learning. Students are building stamina and confidence as readers with books they can truly call their own, while the shared memories from these activities strengthen our classroom culture. Because of your support, my students not only gained tangible resources, but also the reminder that people beyond our classroom care deeply about their success and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1764687414723,"projectUrl":"project/merry-and-bright-classroom-celebration/9922446/","projectTitle":"Merry and Bright Classroom Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McLaughlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10022625_orig.jpg?crop=2046,2046,x10,y1088&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746802510638","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mclaughlin4nbs"},{"teacherId":4255571,"projectId":9908497,"letterContent":"Your support provides our students with warmth, comfort, and care during the winter months.

Students use these resources during independent center time to practice phonics, sight words, and sentence building in hands-on, engaging ways. One of my favorite moments was watching a student who usually feels hesitant during reading time confidently sound out words using the center materials and proudly read on their own. These tools have given students the opportunity to practice key literacy skills at their own pace while building confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They couldn't wait to explore everything and kept asking, \"When do we get to use these?\" The bright visuals and interactive components made learning feel fun and inviting, and students were eager to dive in. Even students who typically struggle to stay focused during literacy time were highly engaged and motivated to participate.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we are now able to take our literacy learning even further. Students are currently using the centers to strengthen phonetic spelling, expand their sight word knowledge, and apply these skills to their writing. Our next steps include using the materials to support sentence writing and early reading comprehension, allowing students to connect what they read with what they write. Your generosity has helped create a classroom where students feel empowered, excited, and supported as they grow into confident readers and writers—thank you for being part of our learning journey!","fullyFundedDate":1755714709698,"projectUrl":"project/stem-literacy-bins-for-kindergarteners/9534448/","projectTitle":"Stem & Literacy Bins for Kindergarteners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maurer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3790332_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y54&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724794745521","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3790332"},{"teacherId":7107132,"projectId":9197155,"letterContent":"Impact of Your Generosity: Bringing Outdoor Fun and Learning Together\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, we've been able to create a spring-filled, hands-on learning environment that blends outdoor play with important skill-building activities. The materials you provided have been a game changer, helping my students engage in creative, sensory-rich crafts while developing fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nHow We're Using the Resources:\r\n\r\nWith the new supplies, we've set up fun outdoor stations where students are creating everything from colorful Easter Egg Crafts and DIY Pinwheels to Wind Chimes and Earth Day Magnets. These activities have been perfect for encouraging creativity, hand-eye coordination, and teamwork. Students have also loved the LED Puffer Balls and Mini Bubble Wands, which not only add an element of fun but also help with sensory engagement and fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nThe plush toys like the Mary Meyer Marshmallow Zoo Lambs and Melissa & Doug Burrow Bunny Rabbits have been wonderful additions, giving students comfort and joy as they work on their crafts. The treats, such as Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs, have provided a nice incentive, encouraging students to stay focused and engaged during activities.\r\n\r\nStudent Reactions:\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was contagious! The outdoor space quickly became a place where students eagerly dove into projects, from building Wind Chimes to crafting personalized Mother's Day Handprint Kits. For many, it was their first time using these kinds of materials, and they were thrilled to see their hard work come to life.\r\n\r\nNext Steps:\r\n\r\nAs we approach the end of the year, we'll be using these activities to tie together lessons and celebrate the students' progress. They'll be creating graduation gifts like medals and greeting cards for their families, and preparing to showcase their projects at a \"Spring Celebration\" where they can present what they've learned. These final projects will help reinforce key lessons in science, sustainability, and creativity, all while providing a sense of accomplishment as we wrap up the year.\r\n\r\nThank You for Your Support\r\n\r\nYour donation has had an incredible impact on my students. They are now not only developing fine motor and sensory skills, but they are also learning the value of creativity, teamwork, and reflection. Because of you, our classroom has been filled with laughter, discovery, and a deep sense of pride in their work.

Having a class set of comfortable, durable headphones immediately changed the feel of our classroom. Students were able to access read-aloud tools, instructional videos, and digital supports without competing noise, and many commented on how much easier it was to focus. The pocket charts, hanging file holders, and page protectors helped us create clear systems for small-group materials, which made our learning space feel calmer and more predictable.\r\n\r\nThese resources have had a meaningful impact on how students engage during Tier II instruction. With materials clearly organized and within reach, students now transition into small groups more independently and confidently. The reduction in noise has allowed students to concentrate on their specific learning goals, especially during reading and math interventions. I've noticed students taking more ownership of their work, knowing exactly where to find what they need and how to use their time productively.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, I've been able to devote more instructional time to targeted teaching rather than managing materials or distractions. Students are currently using these systems to support ongoing reading comprehension and math skill-building, and we are continuing to refine routines that promote independence and accountability. This project has helped create a learning environment where students feel capable, focused, and supported.\r\n\r\nThis project directly impacted student learning by creating the conditions necessary for deeper focus and meaningful engagement. The DonorsChoose Community made it possible for me to implement systems that support independence, reduce barriers, and honor students' individual learning needs. Because of this generosity, I can better meet students where they are and help them build the confidence they need to succeed.
