I am so grateful. Thank you. Not only have I been using it in phonics with my students on the carpet I have also been using it for Reading for whole group lessons as well as small group lessons. Being able to use the easel in a small group setting has been a game changer. My students were able to use it as well with magnetic letters so they could spell words with a specific skill such as digraphs or vowel teams. \r\nMy students were a little confused when they saw the easel at first, but after they started seeing all the things we could do with it they think it is great. \r\nI will continue using the easel in small group form especially as we get closer to the end of the school year and prepare for testing.","fullyFundedDate":1768188730983,"projectUrl":"project/phonics-for-all/10008425/","projectTitle":"Phonics For All!!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Henderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10070756"},{"teacherId":10402843,"projectId":10012794,"letterContent":"The new supplies have made a meaningful difference in how my second grade classroom runs each day. My students were immediately excited when the materials arrived—they kept asking when we would get to use everything and were eager to explore each item. That excitement carried right into our lessons. For example, during science time, students now use the table trays to neatly organize their materials, which has helped them stay focused and responsible. The whiteboards have also become a favorite tool, allowing every student to actively participate and quickly share their thinking, making lessons more interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nAnother impactful change has been the use of clipboards, which give students the freedom to move around the room while working. This flexibility has been especially helpful for my more active learners, allowing them to stay engaged while choosing comfortable spaces to complete their work. One particularly memorable moment was during our Chinese New Year lesson, when students used the gold foil scratch-off paper to create beautiful art projects. This activity not only sparked creativity but also deepened their understanding of different cultures and celebrations in a hands-on, meaningful way.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue integrating these resources into our daily routines and upcoming projects. Students will use their clipboards and whiteboards during small group rotations and collaborative activities, while the organization tools will support more complex science investigations. We are also building on our cultural studies by exploring other holidays and traditions from around the world, incorporating art and writing projects to connect learning across subjects. These supplies have truly opened the door for more engaging, organized, and dynamic learning experiences for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1768495276913,"projectUrl":"project/boosting-creativity-and-confidence-in-th/10012794/","projectTitle":"Boosting Creativity and Confidence in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cardenas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10402843"},{"teacherId":6616874,"projectId":10008306,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations, and helping me get the Cricut.

We are using the light covers to create a calmer, more welcoming environment, which has already helped reduce overstimulation and improve focus. The sensory materials have become an important part of our daily routines, giving students safe and appropriate ways to regulate their energy and emotions so they are better prepared to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were eager to explore the different textures and tools, and many expressed how much more comfortable and relaxed they felt. One especially powerful moment was watching a student who often struggles with frustration independently choose a sensory item and successfully calm themselves—something they had not been able to do before. The emotion-identifying materials have also sparked thoughtful conversations, helping students build vocabulary and confidence in expressing how they feel.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we are continuing to integrate these resources into our social-emotional learning activities. Students are using the emotion tools during group discussions and reflection time, and we are building lessons around recognizing feelings and practicing coping strategies. Your support has not only enhanced our classroom environment but has also given students lifelong skills in self-awareness and emotional regulation.

It was incredible to see them take ownership of their learning with tools that truly support their curiosity and creativity.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited. Many of them couldn't believe that people they've never met cared enough to help their classroom. As we unpacked everything, there were smiles, questions, and lots of \"Can we try this now?\" moments. That excitement has carried over into our lessons, motivating students to stay focused, take risks, and push themselves academically.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building on these skills as we move into our current unit, where they'll apply what they've learned to more complex projects and real-world applications. These resources will remain an important part of our classroom well beyond this lesson, supporting student growth throughout the year.
