It is heartwarming as a teacher to hear students laugh and ask engaging questions as a story is being read. These new books have brought laughter and curiosity into my classroom. They could not wait to hear each new story. Some are now reading aloud to each other. When a student wants to read a story that was read to them is a wonderful thing. \r\nI cannot thank you enough for bringing joy, curiosity and the love of reading into my classroom and into the hearts of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1763910080248,"projectUrl":"project/read-aloud-stories/9514506/","projectTitle":"Read Aloud Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Westerlund","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7173970"},{"teacherId":8945953,"projectId":9720995,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting From Buckets to Beats: Music for All. The new instruments have already brought incredible excitement and confidence to our classroom. When students first saw the materials, they immediately began experimenting with rhythms, creating patterns together, and celebrating each other's ideas. These tools have made music accessible for all learners and have sparked teamwork, creativity, and joyful noise every day. We're now using the instruments to build rhythm ensembles and prepare for a small performance that students are thrilled to share. Your generosity has made a real and lasting impact—thank you for helping every student find their beat.","fullyFundedDate":1760693600769,"projectUrl":"project/from-buckets-to-beats-music-for-all/9720995/","projectTitle":"From Buckets to Beats: Music for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Engel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8945953"},{"teacherId":10024676,"projectId":9330921,"letterContent":"Thank you for lending a hand to the Davis Band. They were very excited to use the lyres for end of the year parade. The storage bins have made organizing our tools much easier. These have been used even in the following school year with the new teacher as well. It warmed my heart to see these donations still find its uses and that our students who cannot afford these accessories are still able to fully participate.\r\n\r\nThe Percussionists were very excited to have a reliable way to hold their music rather than having it be taped on their instrument. It also helped them keep their eyes forward instead of looking down at the music.","fullyFundedDate":1747147246210,"projectUrl":"project/flip-march-play-helping-davis-band-fo/9330921/","projectTitle":"Flip, March, Play!

We had previously received some bins for organizing our materials that we use for learning like scissors, colored pencils, dice and game pieces and they were such an awesome addition to our classroom that we needed more. We have been using the bins and the math stacks game everyday. When we came back from Winter break we were able to get right back into our routines and a big supporter of this was the organizers and games we had received.","fullyFundedDate":1762285330455,"projectUrl":"project/a-little-more-of-this-and-that/9861402/","projectTitle":"A Little More of This and That!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. St George","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1780570_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741637516866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1780570"},{"teacherId":1780570,"projectId":9538906,"letterContent":"The classroom is alive and in full swing. Just before Winter Break we were able to really break out our new resources and wow the students loved them! Since we received so many great organizers students are able to take materials when they need them to solve problems. Well labeled and organized bins with things like white board erasers, dice, rulers, calculators makes working in math centers easier and makes the classroom just flow so much better! \r\nWhen the boxes arrived the students were so intrigued and when I showed them how it would help our classroom and how I planned for the tools to be implemented in the daily flow of the class they were so eager to lend ideas and to ask if they could help or be in charge of the different new materials. Since we have been at it for a few weeks now I am happy to report what a success it has been and how it drew the students together and made our classroom community stronger. I know the kids really value these materials and take very good care to make sure they stay neat and organized.","fullyFundedDate":1760220663353,"projectUrl":"project/organized-learning/9538906/","projectTitle":"Organized Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. St George","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1780570_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741637516866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1780570"},{"teacherId":3521333,"projectId":9677161,"letterContent":"I am so incredibly grateful for your generosity. Your thoughtfulness has enriched our classroom in so many ways. When we first received the chairs and tables, the students were so excited to see what was in the boxes. Once I opened them, they loved them! They took turns testing them out and were all very pleased with how comfortable the chairs were. We immediately made lists of what groups of children could use the chairs on what days so that everyone could have regular turns. \r\n\r\nIn my small groups, we spend 2-3 days reading a leveled text and then 2-3 days responding in writing to the text we have read. Students like to sit in the comfy chairs, place the book on the lap desk, and follow along as we read together or turn them to face a friend for partner reading. On writing days, they get out their journals and respond to the prompt individually or in pairs. They are much more likely to be focused and on task when using the comfy chairs and desks.\r\n\r\nMy students primarily come from low income homes and many have experienced some form of trauma. Many of my students or their parents have moved from another country and are likely experiencing some stress in the current political climate. For some, school is the safest and most comforting place they have. Your generous donation gives them a place to relax and learn in a protected environment and that is an incredible gift for us all.","fullyFundedDate":1762022255795,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-seats-for-small-group-time/9677161/","projectTitle":"Comfy Seats for Small Group Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hudnall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3521333"},{"teacherId":10061066,"projectId":9808036,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom through ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. Your generosity helped us provide snacks and small prizes for my students, and the impact has already been felt every single day.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, school is a long day of hard work, and having access to snacks helps them stay focused and comfortable so they can learn. Instead of being distracted by hunger, they are better able to participate, think clearly, and enjoy being in class. The snacks have also helped create a warm, welcoming environment where students feel cared for.\r\n\r\nThe prizes you helped fund are being used as positive incentives for effort, kindness, participation, and perseverance. My students are so excited to earn them, and they are working harder, encouraging one another, and celebrating their achievements in meaningful ways. These rewards may be small, but to my students they feel very big — they help build confidence and motivation that carry over into their learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation has supported not only academics, but also our classroom community. You have shown my students that there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed. That message matters more than you know.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your kindness, your support, and your belief in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760711768684,"projectUrl":"project/essential-classroom-tools-and-treats/9808036/","projectTitle":"Essential Classroom Tools (and Treats!) for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oliveira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10061066"},{"teacherId":1979809,"projectId":9756652,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation towards my classroom! The headphones provide support to my students to focus more on differentiated lessons. They have created a great learning environment for my students to work on their programs without distraction. \r\nEach child now has their own set of headphones and feels special.

These texts introduce important literacy and musical skills such as rhyme recognition, phrasing, sequencing, and expressive reading. Students learn to listen carefully, follow patterns, and understand how stories can be told not just with words, but through song and motion. This combination has strengthened their reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence in sharing their voices.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become an energetic, collaborative experience. Students gather together to sing, read, and act out stories while discussing what they hear and imagine. The joy and engagement are contagious—especially for students who once felt shy about reading aloud. Now, they eagerly participate, tapping rhythms, echoing phrases, and leading their classmates in song. These materials have turned reading into a celebration of learning, where every child's creativity and voice are part of the story.","fullyFundedDate":1738781748778,"projectUrl":"project/sing-learn-and-grow-enriching-educati/9030687/","projectTitle":"Sing, Learn, and Grow: Enriching Education with Songbooks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Engel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8945953"},{"teacherId":1979809,"projectId":9638147,"letterContent":"My first-grade students were elated and excited to see brand-new pencil boxes on their desks on the first day of First Grade!

With the fulfillment of my Donors Choose project last spring, I was able to create a space in my classroom this fall for students to enjoy reading. The bookshelf is a focal point and draws my students in. They love to pick a book and sit and read. They also are loving playing the reading games. The new inference game is a much-requested game to play on game day Friday! My students love to use the book bags on the back of their chairs to access their materials. I personally am using the cart and containers to stay organized. The card stock and lamination pages are being used to make fun reading games.\r\n\r\nMy students were beyond excited when they saw the bookshelf. They couldn't wait to spin the bookshelf around pick a book to read. I am hoping that by starting each group out with students picking a book and quietly reading for 10 minutes before we begin our lesson they will look forward to coming to group and will see reading positively and not negatively. I can honestly say that so far this is the case! As a reward, I have game day Friday where students pick reading games to play. Their faces lit up when I was able to present new games for them to choose from.\r\n\r\nMy next steps are to continue building my space to be a comforting, inviting space. I had to move spaces over the summer, so my new space needs some TLC. I have created a new Donors Choose project to add fun seating to my reading area as well as some items to help keep my space free from distractions. For many of my students, school is their safe haven, and I hope to continue to make my space a spot for students to learn to read, want to read, and in turn, love to read. Thus giving them an escape from some of the tough home lives in which they live.","fullyFundedDate":1746585760140,"projectUrl":"project/a-fun-bookshelf-to-promote-a-love-for-re/9034548/","projectTitle":"A Fun Bookshelf to Promote a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clary","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8627406"},{"teacherId":10061066,"projectId":9426506,"letterContent":"As a first-year teacher, I am incredibly grateful for the generosity and support that made this project possible. Your donations have truly transformed my classroom and helped me create an engaging and welcoming space for my students to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating has allowed my students to move freely around the room instead of being confined to their desks. They love being able to choose where and how they work best, whether it's collaborating in small groups or finding a quiet spot to focus independently. This flexibility has encouraged creativity, focus, and ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nOur multicultural books have quickly become student favorites! My students are amazed to see characters who look like them and share similar cultures and experiences. Watching their faces light up as they connect with the stories has been one of the most rewarding parts of teaching so far.\r\n\r\nThe classroom supplies have also made a big difference in our daily routines. The baskets provide convenient storage for materials, keeping our space organized and clutter-free. The sharpener has been such a reliable resource, and the Expo markers, laminating sheets, and pencils help make lessons more interactive and hands-on.\r\n\r\nI am so thankful for your kindness and belief in my students and me. Your support has helped me start my teaching journey with confidence and has given my students the tools and environment they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1754442585155,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher-big-dreams-basic-ne/9426506/","projectTitle":"First-Year Teacher, Big Dreams, Basic Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oliveira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10061066"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62746","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1009,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":63,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":62746,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edgar B Davis K-8 School on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Edgar B Davis K-8 School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/brockton-school-district/edgar-b-davis-elementary-school/62746"}
