Your generosity has truly made a meaningful difference in our classroom environment. From the headphones that students use daily for learning activities and focused listening, to the cleaning supplies that help us maintain a safe and healthy space, every item has been put to immediate use. My students were genuinely excited to receive the materials, and they have already shown greater responsibility and pride in caring for our classroom.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the fidgets, snacks, and alternative seating have been a huge support for student engagement and emotional regulation. Many of my students benefit from having a calm area where they can reset, refocus, and return to learning with confidence. These tools have helped reduce distractions, increase participation, and create a more supportive learning environment for all. The plant project has also been an exciting hands-on experience, allowing students to explore the science of seeds, growth, and responsibility in a way that feels real and memorable. Thank you again for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where they feel valued, supported, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1761587143479,"projectUrl":"project/filling-in-the-gaps-for-23-winners/9735648/","projectTitle":"Filling in the Gaps for 23 Winners!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sherrer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5704066_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758236721732","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5704066"},{"teacherId":9226838,"projectId":9519849,"letterContent":"My class thanks you once again for your support this school year. The donations our first grade class has received have made a tremendous impact on our students' learning and daily school experience. The new books have truly become a hit in our classroom; many of our students have connected deeply with the characters, and our weekly visits from some of our sixth-grade storytime readers have sparked a genuine excitement for reading. \"No Boy\" quickly became a class favorite, and the students were thrilled when the new sixth graders recently returned to read the books Wepa! to them. These moments have inspired many of our first graders to explore books independently with newfound confidence.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also played an important role in supporting our learners. For some students, hunger can become a challenge before the school day ends, and having snacks available has helped them stay focused and comfortable. They especially appreciate having their special treats after working hard on big tests!\r\n\r\nThe pipe cleaners have become an engaging tool for word work that helps students strengthen both reading and writing skills through hands-on practice. Additionally, the privacy folders and triangular pencils are used every single day and have made a noticeable difference in helping students stay organized, focused, and confident in their work.\r\n\r\nOverall, every donated item has contributed meaningfully to our classroom. Your care and support has been clearly felt by both students and myself, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity that has helped to promote our learners' growth.","fullyFundedDate":1755970340951,"projectUrl":"project/small-but-mighty-readers-setting-up-for/9519849/","projectTitle":"Small but Mighty Readers: Setting up for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Troche","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9226838_orig.jpg?crop=712,712,x0,y130&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693156528695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9226838"},{"teacherId":8413159,"projectId":9485176,"letterContent":"My students are coming in and out of the office with all kinds of sickness such as stomach virus, nose bleeds, cold symptoms, wound injury, etc..

Many students who once struggled to stay focused are now pushing themselves to do their best so they can earn this special recognition. \r\n\r\nThe treats have also brought joy and encouragement. They provide a fun and positive way to celebrate good behavior, effort, and teamwork. The smiles on the students' faces when they receive their medals and treats are priceless.
