The funds were already in my account from a previous project that was funded. I was very happy to find a use for every dollar that was generously donated. The funds were transferred to gift cards for TPT where I continue to find amazing manipulatives for my students. \r\nFor example, doodle notes for any content are a wonderful tool since my students would prefer not to take every note by hand. Also, my students love to do color by number sheets at the end of a lesson. These are a great informal assignment that allows for creativity and group work.","fullyFundedDate":1763379996482,"projectUrl":"project/science-manipulatives/9870045/","projectTitle":"Science Manipulatives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. M","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9312894_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723979613843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsmend"},{"teacherId":9637881,"projectId":9412602,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom. Because of you, my seventh- and eighth-grade students now have access to meaningful resources that bring West Virginia's history to life. With 25 copies of Black Coal and Red Bandanas, every student can follow along, annotate, and engage deeply with stories that reflect their own communities and family histories. For many of my students, this is the first time they have seen their home state's struggles and triumphs represented so powerfully in a book.\r\n\r\nThe additional supplies you provided have made an immediate difference in our daily learning. The binders, pencils, and zipper pouches help students stay organized and prepared, while disinfectant wipes allow us to share materials throughout the year safely. The headphones have been especially impactful, enabling students to focus during independent and small-group reading, build fluency, and engage with texts at their own pace without distractions.\r\n\r\nYour support has done more than provide materials—it has shown my students that their education and their stories matter. By combining literacy skills with West Virginia history, students gain confidence as readers and develop a greater sense of pride in their heritage. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for investing in their learning and helping create a classroom where history feels personal, relevant, and inspiring.","fullyFundedDate":1758797109085,"projectUrl":"project/from-coal-camps-to-classrooms-teaching/9412602/","projectTitle":"From Coal Camps to Classrooms: Teaching WV’s Story","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Newlon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9637881_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729633706147","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9637881"},{"teacherId":9914374,"projectId":9674118,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping my students.
