Your donations not only helped the students in my classroom but extended to all the students in my school and students across our district and state of Nevada.\r\n The students absolutely love the rewards they are able to \"purchase\" in our student store by earning school money. The rewards motivated students to do their best, complete work on time, and make good choices throughout the school day.\r\n The students absolutely loved playing the Extra Extra board game. They laughed and worked together as a team to get the answers correct. They didn't even realize they were learning at the same time. They had so much fun. Students will be able to play this game for years to come which will greatly improve their reading comprehension and confidence. \r\n I very much appreciate all the fun prizes and activities we were able to receive from Donor's Choose. It truly makes a difference in the education of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1768587193065,"projectUrl":"project/lets-learn-and-earn-some-fun-prizes/10012480/","projectTitle":"Let's Learn and Earn Some Fun Prizes!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3358572_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449882838339","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3358572"},{"teacherId":3370948,"projectId":10016356,"letterContent":"I am so excited to tell you that with your donation I was able to expand my resources to motivate my students and to enhance their learning. We ask so much of our students and it is nice to motivate and reward them for hard work. \r\n\r\nThere has been a push for students to become 21st Century learners which focuses around technology. This has impacted students' ability to stay focused when asked to complete tasks that are hands-on activities. The resources I received will help motivate students and hopefully help to close the academic gaps of students.\r\n\r\nMany of the students at my school are students that are working below grade level. It is frustrating for them when faced with tasks that seem impossible to complete and be successful with. Your donation will provide these students with engaging activities that will provide structure and support while they are becoming proficient in all content areas and building self-esteem.\r\n\r\nI work with small groups of students throughout the day and it brought me such joy to see the excitement on their faces when they saw all the new engaging activities for them to use and resources to motivate them and encourage them. I can't wait to see them as they start to make progress academically and socially. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generous donation to our students and their learning!!!!!!!","fullyFundedDate":1768519648267,"projectUrl":"project/spin-through-learning-and-fun/10016356/","projectTitle":"Spin Through Learning and Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blackburn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3370948_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1519840746508","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shawna-blackburn"},{"teacherId":308502,"projectId":10004527,"letterContent":"On behalf of the students and staff at our school, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of school supplies.\r\n\r\nAs a Reading Specialist, my goal is to ensure that every child—regardless of their starting point—discovers the joy and power of literacy. However, the specialized tools required to help struggling readers often go beyond a standard classroom budget.\r\n\r\nYour donation has provided us with essential resources such as leveled readers, sensory writing supplies, highlighters, and organizational bins.

The excitement in the air as we unpacked the items was an amazing thing to witness. \r\nWhile at times school can be hard for these students, these items will make it less hard. Breaks and physical activity is important to break up the daily academic tasks and make the entire body feel wellness.

My students are using the timers to race against each other. They like setting personal goals, like solving the cube faster each time.\r\n\r\nAn unexpected benefit I am seeing since we got the Rubik's Cubes is improved communication skills. My students are working more cooperatively and that's transferring to other aspects of school. They are also building friendships, helping each other master the steps to solve the Cube, and encouraging each other's learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation is really making a difference in the lives of my students.

These blankets have become more than just a physical comfort—they have given students a sense of security, care, and belonging.\r\n\r\nWhen we first distributed the blankets, the excitement in the classroom was immediate. Some students wrapped themselves up right away, smiling from ear to ear, while others carefully folded them to take home and share with their families. One student even told me, \"Now I won't be cold when I do my homework at night!\" Moments like these show how much a thoughtful gift can brighten a child's day.\r\n\r\nIn the classroom, the blankets have also inspired discussions about gratitude, community, and helping others. We connected this experience to our current lessons on empathy and kindness, giving students a chance to reflect on how small acts of generosity make a big difference.\r\n\r\nYour support has given our students more than warmth—it has reminded them that there are people in the world who care about them. As we continue our school year, we will build on this lesson by encouraging students to think about ways they can share kindness with others in their community, helping the message of generosity grow.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for giving our students this gift of comfort and care.","fullyFundedDate":1742823902683,"projectUrl":"project/blankets-for-low-income-students/8967598/","projectTitle":"Blankets for Low Income Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Farrar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4287360_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1487095104819","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kirstenfarrar"},{"teacherId":308502,"projectId":9284659,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations!

They learn banking, math, and responsibility. The students are earning prizes that mean something to him and we are not using edibles as prizes. My speech students earn 10 stickers that they trade in for school-dollars, so they are more motivated to practice their speech homework, and bring it back. \r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the box come in from Donors Choose, they were so excited. One said, \"It feels like Christmas on the first week of school!\" As we were taking pictures for the thank-you slide show, they were talking about how many school dollars they would have to earn to be able to \"buy\" the prizes in the student store.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you for your donation and spreading smiles.","fullyFundedDate":1747071712535,"projectUrl":"project/student-store-incentives/9064132/","projectTitle":"Student Store Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baldis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5420287_orig.png?crop=147,147,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736974040521","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5420287"},{"teacherId":4287360,"projectId":8969453,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for these awesome crochet kits for the students.

They discovered talents they didn't know they had and developed confidence that reached far beyond the stage. From set building to singing solos, every student found a place where they belonged.\r\n\r\nThese are students who often face significant challenges and don't always have access to the kinds of enrichment opportunities that should be a part of every child's education. Your donations didn't just buy props or scripts—you gave these young people a voice, a spotlight, and a memory they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of the arts.
