I'm writing to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donation of classroom supplies, including paper, markers, highlighters, colored pencils, and notebooks. Your support has made an immediate and meaningful difference in my students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nOne of our core classroom projects this year is centered around note keeping — a foundational skill we're building to help students organize their thoughts, retain information, and grow in academic confidence. With your donated supplies, each student now has their own dedicated notebook, along with the tools to personalize and enhance their notes with color, emphasis, and structure.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, the excitement in the room was electric. For many of my students, having access to new materials is a rare occasion, and the joy on their faces was unforgettable. Some students immediately began organizing their notebooks by subject, using the highlighters and markers to create color-coded sections. Others asked if they could stay in during recess to start decorating the covers of their notebooks. It was clear: they felt seen, supported, and inspired.\r\n\r\nWith these new materials, our next steps involve building consistent note-keeping routines across subjects. Students will learn different note-taking styles—such as Cornell notes, mind maps, and visual summaries—tailored to their learning preferences. These skills not only help them this year but will serve them well into high school and beyond.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in the power of education and in the potential of every student in my classroom. Your generosity is creating lasting change.","fullyFundedDate":1741047755438,"projectUrl":"project/note-taking-elevated/8935870/","projectTitle":"Note Taking Elevated","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moran Chapman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9832842"},{"teacherId":9240648,"projectId":8809486,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough. From the bottom of my heart, this donation means the world to the program.

Also, the increased complexity continues to drive the main goal of pushing the English language learners' literacy and overall language acquisition.\r\n\r\nThey are enjoying the new cards and many students have layered at least 5 into their decks.
