Each student now has their own space to store personal belongings, supplies, and books. The change has been amazing! Our mornings are smoother, transitions are faster, and the classroom feels much more organized and welcoming.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching students' faces light up when they saw the cubbies for the first time. There were gasps and smiles all around, and many asked excitedly, \"We each get our own?\" It was heartwarming to see how something as simple as personal storage could help foster a sense of ownership and belonging in our classroom.\r\n\r\nNow that everything has a home, my students are better able to focus on learning instead of managing clutter. We're already seeing the benefits as we begin our next classroom projects—students can easily find materials for reading groups, art activities, and science explorations. The cubbies have not only helped us stay organized, but they've also taught valuable lessons about responsibility and respect for shared spaces.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping create a more organized and joyful learning environment.

Thanks to your kindness, we now have much-needed supplies, including colored paper, folders, menu covers, headphones, dry-erase markers, and sheet protectors.\r\n\r\nThe colored paper has helped students identify important papers being sent home and has been used for classroom projects that bring learning alive. The markers are always a needed supply when working with students — caps go missing and markers dry out, and sometimes they just walk away from us.\r\n\r\nThe folders and menu covers are helping us stay organized and making it easier for students to manage their assignments and materials independently. We have used some folders to help keep our desks more organized, and we use the menu covers as dry-erase sleeves to complete our morning work each day. We also have a sound and letter chart that we refer to inside our menu covers. This has boosted students' responsibility in handling classroom tasks.\r\n\r\nHaving extra headphones on hand in case a pair breaks has been a lifesaver! Kids can be rough, and being able to hand them an extra pair in a pinch has helped keep our classroom running smoothly and efficiently.\r\n\r\nFinally, the sheet protectors are perfect for preserving important handouts and allowing students to practice skills repeatedly without wasting paper. It's a simple tool that has made a big impact on both learning and sustainability.\r\n\r\nYour support means the world to us. Because of your generosity, our classroom is a brighter, more organized, and more engaging place to learn.

Thanks to your kindness, my students now have access to brand-new books, whiteboards, and privacy folders—resources that are already making a significant difference in their daily learning.\r\n\r\nThe books have brought excitement into our room! Students are discovering new stories, building reading stamina, and most importantly, developing a deeper love for reading. It's been amazing to see their eyes light up when they find a new favorite book. During the first few weeks of school, I read the first chapter from each series and drew the kiddos in! Each morning, they have the chance to choose a couple of books to read, and now they are requesting more books in the series. One big hit with my boys is the Who Would Win... Series. They are begging for more. \r\n\r\nThis year, our school is focusing on nonfiction books and science. The books purchased have helped with this objective. My students are reading the National Geographic books and then telling their friends and me facts they learned. \r\n\r\nThe best part is on Fridays, students get to read their books in pool floaties for \"Under the Sea\" reading time. They cannot wait to get in their floaties and read the books they have chosen for the day! \r\n\r\nThe whiteboards are being used daily in centers and whole-class activities. They give students a fun, interactive way to solve problems, practice writing, and quickly share their thinking. It's incredible how such a simple tool can boost confidence and participation.\r\n\r\nThe privacy folders have helped create a more focused and respectful testing environment, allowing students to do their best work with fewer distractions. They're also building a stronger sense of independence and responsibility.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped provide not just supplies, but also a better learning experience for every student in our classroom. Thank you for believing in our students and supporting their success. We are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1741527568059,"projectUrl":"project/create-learn-thrive-books-whiteboard/9144933/","projectTitle":"Create, Learn, Thrive: Books, Whiteboards, and Privacy for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crowe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6505539_orig.jpg?crop=537,537,x403,y24&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619575695930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6505539"},{"teacherId":10017489,"projectId":9323114,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping to fund my classroom project.
