The label maker and mesh bags have helped students take ownership of their materials by keeping everything clearly marked and within reach. Math tools, headphones, and center supplies are no longer misplaced or time-consuming to distribute, which has greatly improved transitions and helped students stay focused and ready to learn.\r\nThe document camera has transformed our whole-group lessons. Students can now clearly see writing models, art demonstrations, and step-by-step instructions from anywhere in the room. This has been especially supportive for my visual learners, who now engage more confidently and independently during lessons. The teacher bag and badge holder have also made a noticeable difference in helping me stay organized and prepared so I can devote more time to instruction, small-group support, and building meaningful relationships with my students.\r\nOverall, these resources have brought more calm, structure, and purpose into our classroom. Students are more independent, transitions are smoother, and the learning environment feels more focused and supportive. Your contribution has made a lasting impact on both daily routines and student success, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758202670609,"projectUrl":"project/organized-ready-to-learn-setting-up-f/9440857/","projectTitle":"Organized & Ready to Learn: Setting Up for Kindergarten Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Isom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9684046_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723922889102","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9684046"},{"teacherId":9684046,"projectId":9435644,"letterContent":"When our new classroom materials arrived, my students were instantly excited—and honestly, so was I. The IRIS 3-Drawer Desktop Organizers immediately transformed the way we store and access supplies. Instead of digging through cluttered bins, my students now have designated drawers for markers, sticky notes, bookmarks, and craft materials. One specific moment that stood out was during our small-group literacy block. A student who normally struggles to stay organized proudly opened the drawer system and said, \"Everything has a place now!\" These organizers didn't just tidy the classroom—they created independence, responsibility, and smoother routines. The magnetic bookmarks were another huge hit. My students love choosing a bookmark that matches their mood or book, and it has helped them keep track of their reading spots without losing papers or folding pages. It's a simple tool, but it has made reading feel special and more intentional for each child.\r\nThe additional items—like the classroom hall passes, double-sided tape, dry-erase dots, and packing tape—have made our daily management and classroom projects run more efficiently. The colorful hall passes on lanyards help me quickly identify where students are going and reduce confusion during transitions. The dry-erase dots have become one of our most versatile tools: students use them for quick math problems, partner activities, and exit tickets right at their desks. They love wiping them clean and starting fresh. The wooden craft sticks have opened the door to a wide range of hands-on learning moments. So far, we've used them to build mini story retell sticks, create number sticks for math centers, and even design simple STEM bridges. Seeing students joyfully collaborate and problem-solve with affordable materials is always a highlight of my week. Even items like the board cleaner and durable packing tape may seem small, but they keep our classroom functioning smoothly—whiteboards stay clear for lessons, and projects stay securely mounted.\r\nThese resources have already made a visible impact, and they will continue shaping our classroom throughout the year. Next, my students will be using the organizers and craft sticks to build interactive vocabulary notebooks and hands-on comprehension tools. Our upcoming literacy project involves creating \"Reading Toolkits\" where each child will use magnetic bookmarks, popsicle sticks, and dry-erase dots to practice tracking print, retelling stories, building words, and engaging more deeply with texts. The improved organization and accessibility of materials mean students can move independently from one activity to the next, increasing their confidence and ownership of learning. Thanks to your generosity, my students have a cleaner, more structured environment, richer hands-on learning opportunities, and tools that make everyday tasks smoother and more enjoyable. Your support didn't just provide supplies—it strengthened our entire classroom community. Thank you for believing in my students and helping us build a space where learning feels exciting, empowered, and full of possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1755795825057,"projectUrl":"project/little-learners-big-organization-tools/9435644/","projectTitle":"Little Learners, Big Organization: Tools for Focus and Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Isom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9684046_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723922889102","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9684046"},{"teacherId":9684046,"projectId":9150097,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students now have hands-on tools that make learning both exciting and meaningful! The linking math cubes, magnetic cars, and magnetic ten-frame set have turned math into an engaging, interactive experience where students can build, count, sort, and problem-solve together. The magnetic sticky notes have also become a favorite for capturing student ideas during lessons and moving them around as we build charts and solve problems as a class.\r\nOne unforgettable moment was when my students first discovered the lion rug at the center of our classroom. They rushed to sit on it during group time and proudly called it \"our jungle spot.\" It has quickly become the heart of our learning community. The magnetic car sets also brought squeals of excitement — students were eager to test them out and then realized they could build tracks with cubes and tiles to extend their play into STEM learning.\r\nWe are currently working on number sense and addition strategies. The linking cubes and ten-frame paddles have allowed students to visualize math in new ways, making abstract concepts more concrete. Our next steps are to use these resources in small groups to deepen problem-solving skills and encourage collaboration. The laminating pouches are helping us preserve center materials and student-created games, so we can use them again and again throughout the year.\r\nThank you for giving my students a classroom where math and learning feel hands-on, joyful, and full of possibilities!","fullyFundedDate":1746785473781,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-learn-the-ultimate-kinderga/9150097/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set, Learn: The Ultimate Kindergarten Kit!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Isom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9684046_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723922889102","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9684046"},{"teacherId":9684046,"projectId":9149745,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been transformed thanks to your generosity!

Their eyes lit up, and I heard gasps of excitement as they noticed the jungle animals, vines, and colorful borders around the room. Several students rushed to point out their favorite animals and couldn't wait to see where they would sit. The jungle plush animals with keychains have also been a big hit — students are motivated to work hard because they love earning them as rewards.\r\nRight now, we are working on building classroom routines, and the new resources have given us the perfect environment to support that. Students are using their chair pockets daily to stay organized, and the bulletin boards are being used to display learning goals, student work, and jungle-themed calendars. Our next steps are to continue reinforcing responsibility and teamwork while incorporating the safari theme into reading and writing activities.\r\nBecause of your support, my students feel proud of their classroom and motivated to learn.
