Now everyone can log into Amira at the same time, and it's made such a difference. The headphones help us stay focused during reading practice and even during testing, since each student can work without distractions.\r\nThe whiteboards have also been a huge hit. My students love using them in small groups to practice handwriting, solve problems, and share answers. It makes lessons more interactive and keeps everyone engaged.\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom feels more hands-on and focused. Next up, we'll be using these tools to keep building our reading fluency and writing skills.

My students were truly elated upon learning that one of our projects had been funded. When the supplies were delivered to the school, the excitement was palpable—almost as though it were Christmas morning. It was deeply moving for my students to realize that individuals who do not even know us were thoughtful enough to support our classroom.\r\n\r\nAmong the first items we received were the broom and the lanyards. We immediately assembled the broom, and it has already proven invaluable in maintaining a clean and organized classroom. The lanyards, meanwhile, have made navigating the cafeteria lines much more efficient, as students are now able to quickly scan their cards without having to fumble for them in their pockets.\r\n\r\nThe brightly colored cardstock has been a game-changer in our classroom. Its vibrant hues have helped bring organization to our materials and even added an element of fun to the routine task cards, making them more engaging for the students. As we move into our next science unit, we will be using the cardstock to create individual posters and as part of a Literary Elements project.\r\n\r\nI am also incredibly grateful for the opportunity to maintain a clean and organized classroom, a benefit that will have a lasting impact on our learning environment. Furthermore, the supplies provided, such as the lanyards and cardstock, are often difficult for parents to provide, and your generosity has made it possible for my students to have these essential resources.\r\n\r\nOnce again, I cannot express enough how thankful I am for your thoughtful and meaningful contribution to our classroom. This project was our first to be funded, and the sense of relief and joy it has brought me is immeasurable. Your support has truly made a significant difference in our educational experience.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for making this opportunity possible and for turning dreams into reality.","fullyFundedDate":1755912471954,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-basics-to-keep-us-on-track/9488597/","projectTitle":"Classroom Basics to Keep Us on Track","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Calhoun","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10053559_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752247421829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10053559"},{"teacherId":9576464,"projectId":9527481,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to purchase school club!

This can drain their IPADs so having enough backup charging stations can help them move to a quiet section and still be able to complete the programs.
