Both myself and my teacher aide were excited to receive the donation. It helped us to easily and quickly create individual mini books of stories students could read in class. Since we read stories throughout the year and students create stories, these classroom tools are going to helpful for a long time. \r\n\r\nStudents started using the magnetic strips and whiteboard markers this past week to participate in whole class activities. It allowed our class to move smoothly and provided an opportunity for more students to participate. They didn't have to wait for one person to finish writing on the board or be nervous about standing there. They could work at their pace and collaborate with partners before displaying their work. \r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your time to review our project and to provide us with this donation.","fullyFundedDate":1762305668008,"projectUrl":"project/the-classroom-help-that-goes-a-long-way/9446786/","projectTitle":"The Classroom Help That Goes a Long Way","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Velasco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9707811_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724650304126","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9707811"},{"teacherId":1044714,"projectId":9307189,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous contribution, we were able to replace some of the more popular colors of silky underglaze that run out fast. Students were excited to use these underglazes right away. Students created beautiful patterns and designs on their wheel thrown pots. \r\n\r\nUnderglazes give students great control over the colors they choose, and the designs they create. They are a powerful tool for students to express their ideas, narratives, or personal stories through their pots. They can use the colors and designs to convey emotions or communicate themes in their artwork.\r\n\r\nLater this fall, students will create a series of projects that communicate ideas through symbolism. These underglazes will play a huge role in helping students to express their ideas clearly and colorfully.

Students immediately experimented with these colors on their coil pots. They even found combinations by layering glazes to produce different colors and finishes. \r\n\r\nWe look forward to using these wonderful glazes on future projects this year!

The moment the headphones arrived, my students were eager to try them out. Several of them immediately put them on, smiled, and got right to work. For many of our students, this simple tool has made a big difference in how they experience learning each day.\r\n\r\nOne student, who often has difficulty staying focused during independent tasks, now uses the headphones to listen to classical music while he works. He shared that having music in the background helps him concentrate and feel calm. Watching him settle into his assignments with more confidence and fewer distractions has been a powerful reminder of how meaningful these headphones are for our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have quickly become one of the most valued tools we have. Students are using them during reading, writing, and other quiet work periods. They are also helpful during transitions, when the classroom can become noisy or overstimulating. By reducing background noise and giving students more control over their sensory experience, the headphones are helping them stay engaged and better manage their emotions throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students now have access to a resource that promotes focus, confidence, and emotional regulation. Your kindness has helped create a learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and capable of doing their best. We are truly grateful for your contribution and all that it makes possible.","fullyFundedDate":1727043079813,"projectUrl":"project/sound-minds-empowering-student-well-bei/8805037/","projectTitle":"Sound Minds: Empowering Student Well-Being with Classroom Headphones","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Keating","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9508615_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724453879010","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9508615"},{"teacherId":9508615,"projectId":8511985,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom now has a fully functioning water cooler again, and the difference has been incredible. The students were genuinely excited the day it arrived.

Students are using it throughout the day, and we're already going through nearly five gallons of water each week. The cooler is now built into our reward system, where students earn time to refill their water bottles after completing assignments or showing positive behavior. It provides a refreshing, calming moment that encourages focus and supports their ability to transition between activities.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us restore something so simple, yet so impactful.
