We do a lot of original art projects in my classroom that requires the students to draw with a black permanent marker. I was able to purchase a box of 200 markers with this project that the students use a couple of times each week. While we try our best to put the lids back on and take good care of our markers, it's nice to have a backup to just pull out additional markers when one goes bad. \r\n\r\nI was also able to purchase new headphones that the students use daily. Previously, I kept having the cords go bad on our headphones. Once the cord had a defect, the entire headphone was no good as well. With this project, I was able to purchase better headphones that could just have the cord replaced when one had a problem, therefore allowing us to continue using the headphones and giving us better longevity for the students when using headphones. They also fit the students heads a bit better and I have less students complaining about how the headphones feel on their heads. This has also given the students their full time on our online platforms because they aren't spending all their iPad time fiddling around with headphone problems and preventing them from getting to work quickly. It's made all the difference in the world.","fullyFundedDate":1724784494109,"projectUrl":"project/work-and-play-helps-us-learn-in-kinderga/8645744/","projectTitle":"Work and Play Helps Us Learn in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1992837_orig.png?crop=1082,1082,x0,y32&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673328002985","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shelly-johnson"},{"teacherId":8288741,"projectId":8614772,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom through DonorsChoose!
