The supplies that we were able to receive thanks to your generosity, while seemingly simple, are the types of materials that keep our classroom running. I have long since lost count of how many whiteboard markers have dried out, headphones broken, and whiteboards cracked over the course of the year. We use these things every day and it is natural for wear and tear to take it's toll. Thanks to you, we are able to continue the valuable learning that these supplies allow us to have access to.","fullyFundedDate":1768669668634,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essential-refresh/10024824/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essential Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Recca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9024378_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y162&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683214460509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9024378"},{"teacherId":10213429,"projectId":10016578,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the incredible generosity you have shown to my students. Your donations have touched our classroom in ways that go far beyond the materials themselves—you have truly made our students feel seen, cared for, and supported.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, we were able to provide hygiene items that have made a real difference in our middle school students' daily lives. Many of them now walk into school with a renewed sense of confidence, knowing they have access to essentials they may not otherwise have. That sense of dignity and security is something that cannot be measured, and it has meant so much to them.\r\n\r\nThe reward fidgets and the weighted stuffed animal have transformed our calm corner into a safe and comforting space. I have watched students who once struggled to manage their emotions find moments of peace, using these tools to calm themselves and return to learning. The weighted stuffed animal, especially, has become a source of comfort for students who need that extra reassurance during their day.\r\n\r\nWith the journals and pens you provided, we were also able to create a journaling group where students can express their thoughts and emotions freely. This has given them a voice, a space to reflect, and an opportunity to better understand themselves in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom feels warmer, cozier, and more welcoming. It has become a place where students feel safe to be themselves, take emotional risks, and grow—not just academically, but personally.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your generosity has made a lasting impact. You have not only provided resources—you have given my students comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging. We are so deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1768506893650,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-growth-beyond-the-classroom/10016578/","projectTitle":"Supporting Growth Beyond the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rojas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10213429"},{"teacherId":3669591,"projectId":9998034,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom. My energetic and curious third graders at our Title I school in Henderson now have access to resources that truly make a difference in their learning each day. Because of you, students who may not always have books or supplies at home are able to feel more confident, capable, and excited about coming to school.\r\n\r\nYour donations are already having a powerful impact. Students are eagerly reading TIME for Kids magazines and high-interest books like Goosebumps and Minecraft graphic novels, building both their comprehension and love of reading. In math, the Math War multiplication games are helping students strengthen their fact fluency in a fun, hands-on way. Everyday supplies like pencils and classroom materials are also keeping our learning time smooth and uninterrupted.\r\n\r\nYou have helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported, engaged, and proud of their progress.

Although I've worked in special education for the past 15 years, I have found the items that help my students be successful are needed for all students. Everything that was donated has been successful in helping to regulate many other students at my school.\r\nThe need for calming and soothing materials/ activities has become greater for all students. My students are so grateful that I have many things available to them to help them re-regulate their emotions and return to their learning environments in a peaceful manner. They appreciate that they have choices and that they are able to bring the item to their classroom to help maintain emotional regulation while learning.","fullyFundedDate":1768225546446,"projectUrl":"project/choose-inclusion/10005884/","projectTitle":"Choose Inclusion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Holman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6986732"},{"teacherId":9355305,"projectId":9999120,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a more interactive, organized, and engaging learning space where students are excited to participate every day.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, tools like the Epson EcoTank printer have made a meaningful difference in how students learn. Instead of relying on limited, one-time-use worksheets, I can now quickly print differentiated materials tailored to each student's needs. This allows me to adjust instruction in real time—whether a student needs extra support or more of a challenge. The ability to print, scan, and copy in one place also helps streamline lessons and gives students more opportunities to practice skills in a hands-on way.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful additions has been the laminating pouches and dry erase materials. By turning worksheets into reusable activities, students can practice skills repeatedly without the pressure of making mistakes. This has been especially powerful for building confidence—students are more willing to try, revise, and improve their work. The dry erase markers and laminated sheets have made learning feel more like play, which keeps students engaged for longer periods of time.\r\n\r\nStudents are especially excited about the hands-on math tools, like the ten-frame counting sets and magnetic boards. These tools bring abstract concepts to life. Instead of just seeing numbers on a page, students can physically move objects, build numbers, and visualize their thinking. This has been a game changer for many of our younger learners who thrive with tactile experiences.\r\n\r\nThe organizational tools, like the color-coded trays, have also helped students become more independent. They can easily find and return materials, which builds responsibility and keeps our classroom running smoothly.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, learning in our classroom is no longer just about listening and completing tasks—it's active, engaging, and student-centered. You've helped create an environment where students feel safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact on their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1768164477965,"projectUrl":"project/centers-for-centered-learning/9999120/","projectTitle":"Centers for Centered Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Criscione","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9355305_orig.jpg?crop=1124,1124,x1151,y1914&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699331496874","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9355305"},{"teacherId":7368965,"projectId":9990306,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation.

The bins have been a game changer in keeping our centers organized and easy for students to access independently. During center time, students are now able to quickly find their materials, stay focused, and take ownership of their learning. One special moment that stood out was watching a group of students confidently clean up and reset their center without any adult support—it was such a proud teacher moment!\r\n\r\nThe new stools have also had a meaningful impact, especially during small group lessons. They've helped create a comfortable and inviting space where students are excited to come learn. I've noticed that students are more engaged, attentive, and eager to participate when they are seated together at our small group table.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions were full of excitement and curiosity. They immediately noticed the bright, organized bins and were so proud to use them. The stools were also a big hit—students couldn't wait for their turn to sit at the table!\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue building strong routines and independence during center time using the bins, while also deepening our small group instruction. Our next steps include working on early reading and writing skills in small groups, where students can receive more individualized support.

They also help create a much calmer and more focused environment. \r\n\r\nWe use our mini speaker and mic for oral presentations read alouds. The kids love using the mic!\r\n\r\nFinally, our dry erase markers are in constant use.

For my autistic students with sensory needs, they offer helpful tactile input that makes it easier to stay attentive. When used appropriately and with clear expectations, the fidgets have become an effective tool that has improved focus and reduce disruptive behavior in the classroom.
