Thanks to your generosity, my students and I have already begun using the new resources, and the materials have a a great impact on learning.\r\nOne standout moment happened during a recent lesson when students worked on a hands-on project using the new materials. They collaborated in small groups, tested their ideas, and explained their thinking with confidence. I saw students who are usually hesitant raise their hands, ask thoughtful questions, and take pride in their work. The resources gave them the tools they needed to fully engage and explore the lesson in a meaningful way.\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was instant. My students couldn't wait to see what was inside the boxes, and several asked, \"Can we use these today?\" \r\nNext, my class will continue building on this work by applying what they've learned to a larger project. They'll be refining their skills, reflecting on their progress, and sharing their final work with peers. These resources will continue to support both independent learning and collaboration as we move forward.\r\nThank you for giving my students this opportunity. Your kindness has truly made a difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support.\r\nWith appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1760838459063,"projectUrl":"project/my-shining-stars/9840198/","projectTitle":"My Shining Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Douglass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9799138"},{"teacherId":1865057,"projectId":9818913,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support. In October, my five-year classroom was demolished, and I was moved into a new position teaching 2nd grade. While the transition was unexpected, your kindness has made an incredible difference during a challenging time.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, I was able to utilize the full $700 to create a more rigorous and engaging classroom library for my students. They are already diving into the new chapter books, graphic novels, and high-interest fiction that truly capture their attention and help them grow as readers.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has brought excitement, comfort, and joy to a group of children who absolutely deserve it.
