We are so grateful for your help to secure the items for Room 11. \r\n\r\nTechnology Access & Organization\r\n\r\nThank you for donating charging stations/storage system to our classroom. Your gift has made a big difference in how we use technology. Now all of our students have laptops that are fully charged and ready to use at the start of each lesson. Before, we had problems with dead batteries and lost equipment, which wasted learning time. With your donation, we know exactly where every laptop is, and they are always ready to go. Students can focus on their work instead of worrying about technology problems.\r\n\r\nSupporting Organization & Learning\r\n\r\nYour donation of binders and supplies has also helped our students stay organized. Students now have special sections for graphic organizers, reference sheets, and their completed work. When materials are organized, students can find what they need quickly. They can review old work, look up important ideas, and keep track of their progress. Students are learning to be responsible for their own materials and their own learning.\r\n\r\nThe Bigger Picture\r\n\r\nHaving reliable technology and good organization systems helps our students learn better. They spend more time actually learning and less time looking for things or fixing problems. Your generosity has made our classroom a place where students can do their best work.","fullyFundedDate":1757971239159,"projectUrl":"project/power-up-learning-secure-charging-and-o/9701348/","projectTitle":"Power Up Learning: Secure Charging and Organization for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pellicier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10250127_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757443550370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10250127"},{"teacherId":4660078,"projectId":9381415,"letterContent":"Thank you again for donating to our third grade classroom.

These resources have allowed me to better support all learners and create meaningful lessons that meet students where they are.\r\n\r\nReading time has become one of the most special parts of our day. The room fills with excitement as students eagerly choose books, find comfortable spots, and immerse themselves in stories. We come together to share ideas, talk about our thinking, and celebrate each other's growth. These moments are helping to build a strong classroom community centered around a shared love of reading.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful changes has been watching students who were once hesitant begin to take risks and see themselves as readers. Whether it's a student proudly finishing a book for the first time or excitedly telling a friend about a favorite story, these small moments are incredibly meaningful. Your support has made all of this possible, and it is making a lasting impact on my students every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1746786891534,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade-experiences/9318214/","projectTitle":"First Grade Experiences","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Woods","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8331895_orig.jpg?crop=914,914,x0,y344&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705427142327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8331895"},{"teacherId":8469257,"projectId":9885747,"letterContent":"Food donations have already made such a meaningful difference in our classroom. During after-school tutoring and clubs, students often come in tired after a full day, and being able to offer a snack right away changes the tone completely. I've seen students go from quiet and low-energy to engaged and ready to participate within minutes. Recently, during a small-group reading session, their hunger wasn't a distraction, they were able to focus deeply and contribute thoughtful ideas. \r\n\r\nAs we continue preparing for upcoming assessments and working on goal-setting during tutoring, these resources allow us to focus fully on learning and growth. Students are building stamina with challenging texts, strengthening math problem-solving skills, and gaining confidence in small groups. Your generosity gives them more than just a snack — it provides comfort, stability, and the energy they need to keep pushing forward.

The increase of the students engagement is fantastic to see!\r\n\r\nWe have already made visual schedules, behavior charts, fire safety booklet and a variety of math and reading mats. We made recess rules, clean up expectations and how to be good friends printout. The child pay attention longer and enjoy the activities. They become more involved to activities that give them interest. \r\n\r\nWe made charts that assist children to have a positive experiences during the day, such as First and Then and visual schedules. The students understand better if pictures are in color. One of the best parts is that we can quickly print what we need as the printer is in the classroom.\r\n\r\nMy class and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for purchasing the color printer and ink. The printer is easy to use. The ink canisters last forever and print out with bright colors.
