In the pictures, you can see them engaging in some of the teambuilding exercises from one of the books included in this project. Mental health is a significant issue in today's world, and it is more important than ever that schools intentionally address the social and emotional needs of students alongside their academic growth. We dedicate 20 minutes of each class period to some form of Social-Emotional Learning or mental health activity, whether that involves reflection, collaboration, problem-solving, or guided discussion. For many students, this may be the only time during their day that they have a trusted adult intentionally supporting their emotional well-being, helping them process their feelings, or teaching them healthy coping strategies.\r\n\r\nThese materials have allowed me to be more purposeful and consistent in my approach to SEL instruction. They have helped create a safe, supportive classroom environment where students feel valued, heard, and connected to one another.

Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in our students' daily learning experiences, and we are truly grateful for your investment in our young learners. Because of your support, we were able to purchase headphones for our classroom, a resource that has quickly become an essential part of our instructional day.\r\nIn a kindergarten setting, students are learning how to focus, listen, and work independently for the very first time. Headphones play a crucial role in supporting these developing skills. They allow students to fully engage in digital learning activities without distractions, helping them concentrate on the task at hand. Whether students are listening to a story, practicing letter sounds, or working through math activities, headphones provide a quiet, personalized learning experience that meets each child at their own level.\r\n\r\nHeadphones are used daily during literacy instruction. Students listen to read-aloud stories, phonics lessons, and guided reading activities that reinforce letter recognition, sound blending, and early reading skills. Being able to hear instructions and stories clearly helps students build comprehension and confidence. For many children, especially emerging readers or English language learners, listening to lessons multiple times through headphones allows them to learn at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.\r\nIn math, headphones help students focus on interactive lessons that reinforce counting, number recognition, and problem-solving skills. Educational programs often include verbal instructions and encouragement, which students can clearly hear through their headphones. This clarity helps reduce frustration and keeps students engaged and motivated as they practice new concepts.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has directly impacted our students' ability to learn, grow, and thrive. The headphones you helped provide are not just tools—they are gateways to confidence, independence, and academic success. We are incredibly thankful for your support and for your belief in the importance of early childhood education. Your donations truly make a lasting difference in our classroom and in the lives of our kindergarten students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and commitment to helping our students succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1761669339993,"projectUrl":"project/can-you-hear-me-now/9767744/","projectTitle":"Can You HEAR Me Now?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sowder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10183536"},{"teacherId":6312410,"projectId":9867516,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my colleagues and I are able to provide food bags for students who face food insecurity in our community. Each week, we distribute food bags twice a week to help ensure students have access to food throughout the entire week. We also prepare extra bags when severe weather is expected so students have meals available at home if school is closed. These bags help ensure that students can focus on being kids and learners, rather than worrying about whether they will have enough to eat.\r\n\r\nOne recent moment that truly showed the impact of this project happened as we were preparing food bags for an approaching winter storm—students and staff worked together to pack extra bags filled with easy-to-prepare meals, knowing that some families might be snowed in for several days.\r\n\r\nWhen students first see the food bags, their reactions are often a mix of excitement and relief. They recognize familiar, easy-to-prepare items and know they will have something they can make on their own if needed. It is incredibly powerful to see how something as simple as a bag of food can bring comfort and peace of mind to our students.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include continuing to prepare and distribute food bags twice each week and building additional emergency supplies for times of bad weather or unexpected school closures. We are especially focused on adding more filling, meal-type items such as Chicken Noodle Soup, Vienna sausages, cereal bars, beef sticks, and similar foods so students have access to items that can serve as full meals, not just snacks.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our students and our community. Your generosity is helping meet our students' most basic needs and making a real difference in their lives.

I work with them in small groups to support a wide range of academic, social-emotional, and motor skill goals. The magnetic blocks have made a meaningful impact across all of these areas. As students build and create together, they are practicing important STEM skills such as problem solving, spatial reasoning, and basic engineering concepts. At the same time, they are strengthening fine motor skills through connecting, stacking, and manipulating the pieces.\r\n\r\nJust as importantly, the blocks have become a powerful tool for social interaction. Many of my students have goals related to communication, cooperation, and peer relationships. The blocks give them a fun, motivating reason to work together, take turns, share ideas, and collaborate on \"builds.\" Because the blocks remind them of Minecraft, students are especially engaged and eager to participate, which helps increase confidence and positive peer interactions.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enriched our classroom and created new opportunities for learning, teamwork, and joy.
