Your donation has made a tremendous impact on our students and their love of reading. The new materials have helped us reach a wide range of reading abilities and interests. For our English Language Learners, the Survived graphic novels have been a perfect fi, they make complex stories more accessible and engaging. The addition of manga titles has been especially exciting, since our school library had very few before. These have sparked new enthusiasm among reluctant readers who now eagerly pick up a book during silent reading time. For our advanced readers, books like Red Rising have provided new challenges and deeper opportunities for analysis and discussion.\r\n\r\nEvery student in our program participates in a daily silent reading class where they select books of their choice and take AR comprehension tests. Each student's reading goal is tailored to their individual ability level, helping them stretch and grow as readers. Thanks to your donation, we can now offer a wider selection that supports every student, whether they are just beginning their reading journey or ready to tackle complex literature.\r\n\r\nBeyond the books, the checkers game you helped fund has been a huge hit! Every morning before school, students come into my room to play. It's wonderful to see them interacting face-to-face instead of sitting on their phones. The game has helped build friendships, communication skills, and a sense of community in our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enriched our reading program and created new opportunities for connection and learning. Because of you, our students are not just becoming stronger readers, they're becoming more engaged, confident learners. Thank you for helping us build a classroom where reading and curiosity thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1762018751783,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-developing-readers/9839303/","projectTitle":"Books for Developing Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Piper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4961905_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1520526938618","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-piper"},{"teacherId":4961905,"projectId":9695366,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our robotics teams with some basic needed materials for competition. Some of these materials will make it easier to keep our space clean as kids eat snacks, and need to clean the wheels of the robots as they gather dust during use. Our programmers quickly learn outside influence can disrupt their program, like the dust accumulation that forms on the wheels. Not only that much of the supplies are helping them develop props and supporting material for their competition presentations. Students are using the scissors to cut out shapes and attachments to their exhibit boards.

Once my students finished coloring their posters they were displayed on the walls of the school, recognizing these students artistic talent and giving them a sense of pride. In addition, thanks for providing quality skillets my students were able to use to practice cooking grilled cheese sandwiches. Being able to cook independently is an important life skill for these students. Our next project using these pans will be to cook pancakes. Students are very excited about this opportunity. I will try to include pictures of these students cooking adventures.","fullyFundedDate":1757278345028,"projectUrl":"project/art-and-cooking-supplies-for-learning-di/9657739/","projectTitle":"Art and Cooking Supplies for Learning Disabled Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Spencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10228125"},{"teacherId":4961905,"projectId":9362509,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing our classroom with the new hands-on science tools! When my students first saw the lung and heart models, diaphragm dome, and spirometer mouthpieces, they were amazed. Instead of only seeing pictures in a book, they were suddenly able to touch and explore how the body really works. These resources have already sparked curiosity and made science vocabulary more accessible, especially for my English learners. Our next step is to use these models as we study body systems more deeply, making connections between science, health, and real life.

From the moment the kits arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement. They wasted no time getting their hands on the pieces, brainstorming designs, and putting their ideas into action. \r\n\r\nThese resources have opened up new opportunities for my 15 robotics students. Beginners are building confidence as they learn the basics of coding and watch the robot respond to their commands. At the same time, my more experienced members are tackling advanced skills, like incorporating sensors and experimenting with coding strategies to prepare for competition. Watching them collaborate, problem-solve, and encourage one another has been inspiring.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible.

My students were SO excited when they saw all the food, we even had cheers when I brought everything out. Many of my students come straight from school to robotics practice hungry, and now they are able to fuel their brains before diving into building, coding, and problem-solving. Having these snacks available means they can focus, stay energized, and give their best effort during practice.\r\n\r\nThe difference has been amazing. Instead of being distracted by empty stomachs, students are able to settle in, eat something healthy, and then fully engage with their robotics work. They're experimenting with robot builds, testing out code, and preparing for competition with new energy and excitement. For many of my students, who are on free and reduced lunch, this simple gift of food makes a huge impact, it gives them the support they need to keep learning and growing after school.\r\n\r\nThank you again for thinking of my students and helping them succeed.

At our latest competition the judges were so impressed with their ability to discuss, building strategies for their robot, code to director their robotics actions and the attachments they use to make the robot complete tasks on the competition board. All of that was possible due to your generous giving. I am so proud of the hard work they have it into their season so far, and I am sure you would be amazed to hear them discuss their missions strategies and everything they have learned so far this year.
