It has a game changer to have the physical books in the classroom. My students love the stories so much and having the actual books in the classroom encouraged my students to pick up one of the curriculum books and read it for pleasure. Additonally, we used the books for a reader's theater actvity, in which we invited younger students to learn about the stories of perseverance. You made it possible for my students were able to reference the text in the books and for that I thank you!!","fullyFundedDate":1771001480670,"projectUrl":"project/grab-a-great-book/10005323/","projectTitle":"Grab a Great Book","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. G.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4657175_orig.png?crop=586,586,x0,y44&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603383770123","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ae-gonzalez"},{"teacherId":1680046,"projectId":9624860,"letterContent":"You didn't just buy us posters and borders; you helped me build a sanctuary. Many of my students spend more of their waking hours in this room than anywhere else, and because of you, they now walk into a space that feels warm, intentional, and calm. The new calming wall art has already helped a few students find their 'reset' button on tough days, and the bulletin boards make their hard work look like a masterpiece.

You turned our classroom into the coolest book club in the school. Because we finally have enough copies for everyone, we aren't just reading—we're debating, laughing, and (sometimes) crying over what's happening in these chapters.\r\n\r\nIt's been so cool to see students who usually 'forget' their homework actually sneaking the books home because they can't wait to see what happens next.

The second the students walked in and saw the new floor seating, the vibe of the whole room changed.

Each team will keep adding weights until their bridge finally gives way.

Our new physical dictionaries arrived, and let me tell you—the students were surprisingly obsessed from the moment they cracked them open.\r\n\r\nWhen I first handed them out, the room sounded like a symphony of flipping pages. It turns out that in the age of Google, there is something deeply satisfying to a middle-schooler about physically hunting down a word and finding it on the page.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools to expand their worlds, one definition at a time.

Because of you, our classroom has undergone a total transformation. It was a beautiful reminder of how much it means to children to have a space that feels warm, welcoming, and specially designed for them.\r\n\r\nThese resources have done so much more than just \"decorate\" our room; they have increased our stamina for learning. I recently watched two of my most restless readers settle into the new cushions with their books and become so engrossed that they completely lost track of time. One student later told me, \"I forgot I was at school.\" That level of focus is exactly what every teacher hopes for, and your gift made it possible.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using our new \"reading nooks\" to launch a Character Perspective Project. Students are pairing up in their favorite cozy spots to dive deep into their novels, debating character choices and analyzing themes in comfort. Having a soft place to land has turned our rigorous analysis sessions into something the students truly look forward to.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom community. You haven't just provided furniture; you've provided the comfort and focus my students need to fall in love with reading.","fullyFundedDate":1744390825779,"projectUrl":"project/read-in-comfort/9013414/","projectTitle":"Read in Comfort!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lawler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6992549_orig.png?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1576075479965","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/disneyarts"},{"teacherId":9432880,"projectId":9608743,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in funding our color printer. I truly cannot thank you enough for the difference you have made in my kindergarten classroom and in the lives of my students.\r\nBecause of you, learning now comes to life in vibrant color. My students have been able to enjoy engaging activities like color bingo, which brings so much excitement and joy to our classroom. We've created beautiful fall crafts using colored ink, completed projects that require color to fully understand concepts, and printed sight word centers in color that feel more like games than work. The smiles, laughter, and enthusiasm I see each day are a direct result of your kindness.\r\nFor my English Language Learners, many of whom are experiencing their very first year of school, these colorful materials are especially meaningful. Visuals in color help make new words and ideas clearer, more memorable, and less intimidating. The printer allows me to create engaging resources that motivate my students to try their best, build confidence, and develop a love for learning from the very start.\r\nYour donation has given my students more than just supplies; you've given them excitement, creativity, and a joyful learning experience.

Since my class isn't a homeroom I don't have supplies that families bring to school, so your support of this grant was an important way for me to provide these essentials.\r\n\r\nNow I can have tissue boxes and hand sanitizer throughout my room, instead of just in one spot, which makes them easier for students to access.
