Your contribution has provided our 22 energetic and creative second graders with the flexible seating they truly need to be successful.\r\n\r\nAs a class of \"fidgety\" yet highly motivated learners, these chairs allow my students to channel their natural energy into their academic work. The chairs aide in students staying focused during reading and promote creative problem-solving.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom is now a more comfortable, inclusive, and dynamic place to learn.

My students, class, and I have been very excited using the items donated to help each individual students work toward their targeted goals. The resources have been very helpful and was very motivational for my students to keep putting fourth their best efforts in their studies and work. The other supplies were used in our classroom redemption shop. Students were able to purchase supplies they needed and wanted using the stamps and stickers they collected while meeting their General Learner outcomes as well as aiming to reach their goals. They were very excited and happy with all the donations, it really helped my students reach their targets and receive a much deserved reward at the end.

One of the most impactful moments was during a math lesson when every student was actively working out problems on their whiteboard and proudly holding them up to share their answers. The whiteboards have been extremely helpful in supporting student learning, and the different reward candies have helped keep my students motivated and engaged throughout lessons.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were very excited and eager to use them right away. The rewards created a positive classroom environment and encouraged students to stay focused and participate. Moving forward, students will continue using the whiteboards to practice new skills, explain their thinking, and build confidence.

Because of your donation, I have been able to provide my students with numerous engaging learning activities. \r\n\r\nIt is such a joy to see my students' faces light up during our read-alouds, and they have loved using the materials you provided. Whether they are carefully sequencing letters to build their first words, or the entire room is smelling like cinnamon as we create holiday ornaments, or they learn to play classic board games, these hands-on experiences make their days of learning memorable and fun.\r\n\r\nLikewise, the items such as hand wipes and organizers have made an impact in the classroom. Having a clean, orderly space allows us to focus on learning. \r\n\r\nThank you very much for believing in the power of a great education!

When the boxes of new materials arrived for our RTI Block, the atmosphere in the classroom was electric. My students were so excited to see the \"special tools\" they would be using to help them grow. One student even asked, \"Is this all for us?\" Seeing their faces light up made it clear that these resources aren't just tools—they are a message to my students that their community believes in their potential. They love playing games and these help the students not even realize they are learning while having fun.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources daily during our small-group intervention time. For example, we use the cvc word popits all the time. This helps my students become more confident in their ability to wound out and blend words together. One of my students, who usually struggles with confidence, was so engaged with the colorful, hands-on materials that they were able to finally start blending cvc words together. It was a breakthrough moment that wouldn't have been possible without the specific, engaging items you provided.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are moving into a new unit focused on building reading fluency and mathematical reasoning. These resources will allow my students to continue practicing these essential skills through independent centers and guided play. Your support has transformed our RTI time from a period of struggle into the highlight of our school day. We are so grateful for your investment in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1759509238701,"projectUrl":"project/rti-block/9778362/","projectTitle":"RTI Block","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nitta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9687832"},{"teacherId":6777854,"projectId":9772349,"letterContent":"The classroom energy has been incredible since our \"store\" officially opened! The students are obsessed with using their dry-erase clipboards to track their weekly earnings and balances. A favorite moment was watching a student realize that by passing on a bag of Cheez-Its today, they'd finally have enough \"class cash\" to buy a canvas board for a special art project. It's been amazing to see them naturally grasp the concept of saving while using the magnetic marquee letters to check the latest prices at our store.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, it felt like Christmas! Their eyes went wide seeing the mini trophies, multicolored pens, and the stash of Skittles and Flamin' Hot chips. There was an immediate buzz as they started strategizing which classroom jobs like using our new broom for \"janitorial duties\" would help them earn the most rewards. It turned our behavioral goals into a fun game that they are actually excited to participate in every day.\r\n\r\nNext up, we're using the laminating pouches to create personalized checkbooks to track their long-term goals. The big challenge for the kids now is Payday learning to save enough throughout the weeks to cover their monthly desk rent while still having a little left over for \"fun spending\" at the class store.","fullyFundedDate":1759538194459,"projectUrl":"project/flourishing-fourth-grade/9772349/","projectTitle":"Flourishing Fourth Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6777854_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628930075503","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6777854"},{"teacherId":7934911,"projectId":9777092,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for fulfilling our wish list for 2025.

The snacks were eaten at our Christmas party and at camp. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for giving my students the opportunity to express their creative sides and have a little fun in the process.

The carpet dots have also been very helpful for students to equally share our carpet space when we are reading or watching videos. The lap desks are a huge hit in my classroom as students who enjoy working with a partner on the floor can have a mini desk to work at wherever they choose.

The children love using the shape punchers because many young children love exploring with items that show a cause and effect. Initially they would punch out shapes repeatedly and end there because of their short attention span. However, as time progressed and their ability to attend to tasks and be more intentional in their activities, they have begun to use the different shapes to create larger pictures. We are then supporting them to make these into books using the other materials. \r\nThe students were extremely excited to see the storytelling materials that arrived. Preschoolers have a difficult time sitting, especially in large groups, as they are easily distracted. The storytelling materials that were received through the donation allow me to engage an entire group of 20 preschoolers in a meaningful way. \r\nThe materials provided the children with varied experiences to engage in storytelling. The students will continue to develop language and early literacy skills by working with the items gained through the donation that provided initial and foundational experiences.

Everyone in the four classes got very excited and started to use their puppets to interact with each other. They were very grateful and happy that they got to take these sock puppets home to keep as their own. \r\nNow other grade levels have asked if they can do sock puppets, too.
