We were in desperate need of new crayons and notebooks so the funding came at just the right time. Most of my kids crayons were broken and needed to be replaced. When we came back after Winter Break, all of my students were able to get a new box of crayons. They were so excited! Many of my students are ready for a new \"All Done\" Notebook as well. This is their notebook that they can use when they are done with their work. They can color, write, or draw in it. It's nice nice to have new ones to give them.","fullyFundedDate":1768139179854,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-supplies/9976966/","projectTitle":"New Year, New Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3676507_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1593784551467","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3676507"},{"teacherId":10227876,"projectId":9810637,"letterContent":"Our students were able to enjoy delicious chips, cookies, candy and juice throughout the event.

Since starting a daily snack, I have noticed better work performance, less headaches, and overall better attitudes in the afternoons.

When materials such as pencils, scratch paper, calculators, or test tickets are clearly stored and easily accessible, students spend less time searching for supplies and more time focused on the assessment. This reduces interruptions and preserves valuable testing time.\r\n\r\nSecond, organizers and labeled storage support predictability and routine, which is especially important during high-stakes testing. A consistent setup helps students know exactly where to find what they need, lowering anxiety and increasing confidence. For many students, particularly younger learners or those who struggle with executive functioning, this structure helps them feel prepared and in control.","fullyFundedDate":1757526708039,"projectUrl":"project/ensuring-readiness-state-testing-suppli/9440394/","projectTitle":"Ensuring Readiness: State Testing Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Price","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8571571"},{"teacherId":3676507,"projectId":9881888,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting all of our first grade classes with your generous donation to this project.

One of our favorite moments was watching students excitedly pick up the write & wipe cards for the first time—they were thrilled that they could practice, erase, and try again! It instantly boosted their confidence and turned language learning into an engaging, hands-on experience. The Lysol wipes worked great to clean off the materials after use. \r\n\r\nRecently, my students worked on describing pictures and forming complete sentences using the cards. Hearing them proudly share their sentences aloud—and even helping each other correct and improve them—was a powerful reminder of how far they've come.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using these materials to prepare for upcoming language assessments and to support students in writing short paragraphs and dialogues. These lessons are building not only academic skills, but also the confidence they need to express themselves in English every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools and encouragement they need to find their voices and grow as learners.
