The new wobble stools, pencils, reward prizes, and highlighters have already made a beautiful difference in our learning—especially during our WINN time when we focus on retelling stories.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students saw everything, their faces lit up. They rushed to try the new seats, held their new pencils like treasures, and couldn't wait to start using the highlighters to find words that still they don't know. These tools are helping them stay focused, calm, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the flexible seating to help students settle into a comfortable spot while they retell the beginning, middle, and end of stories. The wobble stools have been wonderful for students who need movement to stay regulated. The highlighters help them identify key parts of a text, and the reward prizes are motivating them to work hard and try their best.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made our classroom feel special, safe, and full of possibility. Thank you for giving my students the resources they need right now to grow as readers and writers.","fullyFundedDate":1763587525298,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-and-seating-to-boost-learning/9861903/","projectTitle":"Supplies and Seating to Boost Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Renteria","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5169734_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1519948030681","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-renteria"},{"teacherId":9993900,"projectId":9246528,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom through this DonorsChoose project! Because of your generosity, our students now have access to new books and supplies that have truly transformed our reading time. With these texts, we are practicing essential skills such as making predictions, identifying themes, and exploring character development. The variety of stories has also given us opportunities to strengthen fluency and comprehension while sparking meaningful discussions that build confidence in young readers.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is both a quiet, independent practice and a joyful, shared experience. Students curl up with their books during independent reading, then come together in small groups to talk about what they've discovered. Some of my reluctant readers have been especially motivated by the fresh selection of books. They are eager to dive in, share their favorite parts, and even recommend titles to their classmates. One student in particular, who previously struggled to stay engaged, now asks if we can extend reading time because she's so excited to find out what happens next.\r\n\r\nYour gift has made reading come alive for my students. These books are not just teaching lessons in literacy. They are helping us build a community of readers who see themselves in stories and grow from the journeys they take through them. Thank you for making such a lasting impact on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1744290650612,"projectUrl":"project/stack-up-stories/9246528/","projectTitle":"Stack Up Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kirkman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9993900_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x391,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746599160431","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9993900"},{"teacherId":5169734,"projectId":9405528,"letterContent":"When the new math tools arrived, my students' excitement filled the room! They couldn't stop asking questions about what was inside the boxes and how we were going to use everything. Their faces lit up as they realized these materials would make math hands-on and fun.\r\n\r\nWe haven't had the chance to dive into our first activity yet, but the anticipation is growing every day. My students are already imagining how they'll build numbers, explore patterns, and solve problems in new ways. Several of them even asked, \"When do we get to try them?!\" which shows just how eager they are to learn.\r\n\r\nThe next step will be introducing the tools during our upcoming unit on place value. Having these manipulatives will make it easier for students to visualize numbers and strengthen their understanding. I know these resources will boost confidence and help students discover that math can be creative, exciting, and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my first graders the chance to experience math in such a meaningful way.

You should have seen my students when the new science materials arrived — they could hardly sit still! They were so curious about what's inside and kept asking, \"When can we try it?!\" We haven't started our first experiment yet, but the excitement is building, and I know it's going to be an amazing experience once we dive in. Thank you for making science feel so real and fun for my first graders!\r\n\r\nAlready, the materials have given us a chance to talk about what scientists do and how we will use real tools to explore the world around us. My students are beginning to think like investigators, asking questions about plants, animals, and even the weather. They are eager to make predictions and share ideas with one another, which is exactly what I hoped for when I dreamed of this project.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, science is no longer something that just lives in a textbook or on a screen — it's something my students can hold, explore, and experience for themselves. I can't wait to share the discoveries they'll make once we begin our first hands-on lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1755613097045,"projectUrl":"project/first-grader-scientists/9260620/","projectTitle":"First Grader Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Renteria","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5169734_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1519948030681","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-renteria"},{"teacherId":5169734,"projectId":9125594,"letterContent":"We've been loving the new classroom supplies—especially the wipes, stickers, and markers! One specific moment that really stands out was during our math centers last week. My first graders used the markers on whiteboards to solve addition and subtraction problems, and I used the stickers as little rewards for participation and effort. It turned math time into something they genuinely look forward to every day!\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up. There were lots of \"Ooooh!\" and \"Can we use these today?!\" reactions. It was such a joyful moment—just seeing how excited they were made it all worth it.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on making an equation true and we will keep working on telling the time. The markers have been so helpful for hands-on practice, and the wipes make cleanup a breeze so we can transition quickly between activities. Our next step is a fun math game rotation where students will use all these tools to practice in small groups.
