Many of my students come to school on their birthdays without any special plans or recognition waiting for them at home. By providing each child with a small birthday gift—a water bottle, a sucker, and a fun sticker—we can make sure every student feels seen, appreciated, and celebrated on their special day.\r\n\r\nThese simple items may seem small, but to a child, they mean so much more. A new water bottle gives each student something useful and personal that they can keep throughout the year. It helps encourage healthy habits and responsibility as they bring it to school daily, stay hydrated, and take care of their belongings. The bright, reusable bottles also help reduce waste and promote good routines. Every time they use their water bottle, they'll remember that their classroom is a place where they are special. \r\nThank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1789591576131,"projectUrl":"project/birthday-celebration/10591683/","projectTitle":"Birthday Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2453935_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556415526702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2453935"},{"teacherId":5582894,"projectId":10217839,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project for Scholastic Storyworks magazines for my students.

We begin every class with a meditation, normally online. Whenever we use the singing bowl instead, the kids go crazy. They love learning about sound and how it affects the body. It changes the entire mood of the meditation. \r\n I want to take a second to talk about my donors. I know it's easy to donate to a project and hope that the teacher uses your materials for good. I want you to know, that on the other end of this message, is a real person....a 26-year old counselor who is having her teaching world changed by Donor's Choose.

The whistle has been used every single day at parent pick up. The social emotional tools have been used on students needing a break in my classroom. \r\n Your donation is more than you realize. It is a sigh of relief that my classroom can have materials. It's thankfulness that the cost doesn't have to come out of my paycheck.

Instead of only reading about fossils or looking at pictures in a book, students will be able to create, explore, and learn through a hands-on activity. They will get to see how impressions and shapes can be preserved and use their creativity to make their own fossil models.\r\n\r\nThe clay will help make this lesson much more meaningful for our students. They will be able to pretend to be paleontologists as they create their fossils and think about what fossils can tell us about organisms that lived long ago. They will have opportunities to make observations, ask questions, and discuss their creations with their classmates.\r\n\r\nHands-on learning is especially exciting for our students because it gives them a chance to learn by doing. We know that when students are actively involved in a lesson, they are more likely to remember what they have learned. This activity will allow them to connect what they are learning in science to something they can actually create and hold in their hands.\r\n\r\nWe are looking forward to seeing the creativity and excitement in our classroom as students make their fossils.
