They are on the pricey side. Thank you, donors, for thinking of my drivers ed class. \r\n\r\nI was able to purchase two different goggles-drowsy and drunk. Drowsy driving and drunk driving are two of the Deadly Ds of driving. These goggles give the appearance of what a driver sees when they are under the influence of drunk. My son was in my drivers ed class this past semester. He told me the drowsy goggles are more difficult to see out of than the drunk ones. That is scary to me because you can prevent drinking and driving, but driving drowsy is harder for people to recognize. \r\n\r\nThanks again for allowing me to purchase these goggles for my class! I know all of my future classes are looking forward to experiencing them!","fullyFundedDate":1758636615470,"projectUrl":"project/fatal-vision-goggles/9656915/","projectTitle":"Fatal Vision Goggles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9690037_orig.jpg?crop=552,552,x97,y93&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736898583053","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9690037"},{"teacherId":9690037,"projectId":9461330,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving to my classroom. I recieved many items that have helped keep me organized. With myself being organized, this helps my classroom run more smoothly. I also really enjoyed teaching lessons out of my finance book for teens. \r\n\r\nMy black table has been very useful in my quilting class. Our space is a little tight and this gave my student a space to work efficiently. It is a handy little table that many people have borrowed because it is easy to transport and it looks very nice.\r\n\r\nI ordered a toolbox for classroom supplies. I have them all labeled. It was kind of funny the other day a student asked me for something and he was like oh yeah, it should be in the toolbox. They are all getting used to looking there for supplies before they ask me. \r\n\r\nI know this are little things, but they definitely make my classroom run more smoothly and stay more organized. One of my biggest struggles is staying organized. I appreciate all those who have given to my classroom and continue to do so. It means a lot to my students and myself.","fullyFundedDate":1755521869119,"projectUrl":"project/school-is-33-days-away/9461330/","projectTitle":"School is 33 Days away!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9690037_orig.jpg?crop=552,552,x97,y93&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736898583053","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9690037"},{"teacherId":154418,"projectId":9279365,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to Ekalaka Public Schools.
