Your donations have truly made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment. We have been using the new resources in a variety of ways—students are excited to earn items as class prizes, and the organizational supplies have helped us keep our materials neat and accessible. The books you provided have quickly become favorites during independent reading time, and the playground equipment has been a wonderful addition for brain breaks, helping students reset and return to learning focused and refreshed.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and contagious. The playground equipment sparked lots of joy and energy, while the Minecraft books were especially popular, with students eagerly diving into them and sharing what they read with classmates. It was a special moment to see their enthusiasm and appreciation for these new additions to our classroom.\r\n\r\nRight now, our students are focused on their state testing and are working incredibly hard to demonstrate all they have learned throughout the year. The supplies you donated have supported them every step of the way, helping them stay organized, engaged, and motivated.

One thing I purchased was a brand new tubano drum. These drums are so expensive, but my goal is to have one of these high quality drums for all of my students. The kids love playing the tubano drums along with rhythm videos as they learn to read music notation. The kids are doing so well with this and the extra drum has provided one more opportunity for students to get to play and learn. \r\n Another thing I purchased were new music borders for my bulletin boards. My students are working on recorder karate where they can play songs to earn belts for their recorders. I made a new bulletin board in the classroom so that students can see their progress and with all of my recorder fingering charts. The students were so excited to see a new bulletin board. The border was perfect and it helped bring some new excitement to the music room!

We recently earned a 'Board Game Day' and many students were able to play Sorry, Checkers, and Connect 4 for the first time. They are practicing problem solving strategies and critical thinking skills in a stress free entertaining way. Due to the new wooden shelf organizer I received, we now have a sturdy and beautiful writing center stocked with paper, pens, markers, tape, stickers, scissors, etc. Now we have a permanent area for students to create and display their imaginative stories. We are in the midst of our fresh water/recycling unit. My students loved using their new markers to create and hang posters encouraging our school community to conserve water. We are beginning to work on gifts for Mother's Day. My students will create beautiful flower paintings inspired by the artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe on the white canvases I received. As we begin to wind down the school year, I'm excited to focus on a couple of STEM activities/projects. For example, we will use the root viewer and terrarium to enhance our unit on plants and modeling clay to create worry stones to pass out to students and teachers in our ever present quest to spread kindness!","fullyFundedDate":1768227882894,"projectUrl":"project/passionate-and-purposeful/10007286/","projectTitle":"Passionate and Purposeful","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Minkoff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8143735"},{"teacherId":8548931,"projectId":10010258,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project for my classroom.

There's a thousands chart on one of the sides of the folders that they've been using daily during our addition and subtraction to 1,000 unit!\r\n\r\nMy students also use my anchor charts as resources that I've been creating with the post-it chart paper! This chart paper allows me to make academic posters during lessons that the students know to refer to as needed.\r\n\r\nFinally, things like the smelly pencils and flashlights provide incentives for fun Friday and prize box.

I ordered 24 cushions and two standing racks for them, and these replaced random pillows in my classroom. Not only do the new pads look great, but they are neatly organized on the side wall which has freed up a lot of carpet space. There are enough now so that every student can take one, which prevents the need to schedule allowed time to use them. I have seen them used as seats, and backpacks which is what I was intending with the square pads.\r\n\r\nThe seats that I purchased were also liked by students. I know this because some students have been trying to sit on them when it's not the right time for them. I like them because they have freed up space at my table from the traditional chairs, which took up too much room and kept banging into each other. Overall my classroom looks and feels 100% better.
