These tools helped us organize the classroom better and provided the children with a stronger sense of belonging. They were so excited to know that our generous donors cared enough about our cozy, little classroom to provide us with newer, nicer materials. \r\n\r\nA fan-favorite of the students were the scented stickers. A student who has struggled to read for a couple of years now was highly motivated to read entire pages of phonics passages to earn these stickers. On students' birthdays, in exchange for academic achievements, and to prepare for high-stakes testing, students received \"fancy\" pencils and erasers to remind them of how special they all are.

As a first-year teacher, being surplused and placed into a new school, and then stepping into a classroom that already had an established routine without me, was a huge challenge. I wasn't their first teacher, and I knew I had to work extra hard to build trust, create consistency, and make my students feel safe and supported again. Your generosity played a huge role in helping me do exactly that.\r\n\r\nWhen the new materials arrived, it truly felt like a turning point for our class. The students were immediately excited—there was a sense of curiosity and energy that hadn't been there before. Many of them gathered around, asking questions and eager to try everything out. For some students, it was the first time they felt like something in the classroom was \"just for them,\" and that moment mattered more than I can fully express.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources daily, and they've helped me establish stronger routines and more engaging lessons. One moment that really stood out was during a hands-on activity where students worked together to complete a diagram project. In the past, group work had been difficult because of trust and behavior challenges, but this time, I saw collaboration, communication, and even encouragement between students. They were proud of their work and excited to share it. That moment showed me that we are building something positive together.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly thankful for all of the materials you provided—from the learning centers to the new set of books and the stools we now use for our small groups. These items have made a real difference in how I structure my classroom. The stools, especially, have helped create a more focused and comfortable space for small group instruction, allowing me to work closely with students and meet their individual needs. The new books have sparked more interest in reading, and the centers have given students meaningful, hands-on opportunities to practice skills independently and collaboratively.\r\n\r\nThe materials have also helped me differentiate instruction and meet my students where they are. I've been able to create more interactive lessons that keep them engaged and focused, which has been key in rebuilding structure in the classroom. Students who were once hesitant are now participating more, raising their hands, and taking ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps are to continue building on this momentum. We are working on strengthening both academic skills and classroom community. I plan to incorporate these resources into small group instruction, hands-on projects, and more collaborative activities that allow students to practice teamwork and critical thinking. We are also beginning a new unit where students will apply what they've learned in a larger project, and I'm excited to see how they use these tools to express their understanding.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, this classroom has transformed from a place of uncertainty into a space of growth, connection, and possibility. You didn't just provide materials—you helped create stability during a very challenging transition for both me and my students. Again, thank you so much for your generosity and support. It truly means more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1768164198939,"projectUrl":"project/end-kinder-year-with-a-bang/9998334/","projectTitle":"End Kinder Year with a Bang!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Soto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5244227_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702765335019","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5244227"},{"teacherId":418612,"projectId":10011146,"letterContent":"My class loves using the new white board clip boards.

Having fresh, high-quality supplies made a huge difference—students were more focused, excited, and proud of the work they were creating.\r\n\r\nWhen they first saw the materials, their reactions were priceless. There were lots of wide eyes, big smiles, and immediate excitement. Several students said things like, \"These are brand new?!\" and couldn't wait to start using them. It truly created a sense of pride and ownership in our classroom, and they have been taking great care of everything because they know how special it is.\r\n\r\nNext, we are continuing to build on our literacy and project-based learning. Students will be using these supplies for an upcoming habitat diorama project, where they will research animals in class and then create detailed, colorful models at home. They will also continue using their Junie B. Jones books for guided reading groups, focusing on comprehension, vocabulary, and expressive writing.
