Because of your contribution, our students have had meaningful new learning experiences that simply wouldn't have been possible without this technology. Although many of us use similar tools at home, technology plays an especially powerful role in the classroom—it allows students to learn in interactive, hands-on ways that deepen understanding and spark curiosity.\r\n\r\nWith this new product, students are no longer just observing lessons; they're engaging with them. They can explore concepts at their own pace, collaborate with classmates, and receive instant feedback that helps them grow with confidence. One of the most exciting aspects for them has been the ability to create and problem-solve using tools that feel both modern and empowering. Every day, I hear students say things like, \"I didn't know I could do this!\"—a reminder of how transformative this resource has become.","fullyFundedDate":1755182913722,"projectUrl":"project/technology-in-our-library/9553336/","projectTitle":"Technology in Our Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cook","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9788978_orig.jpg?crop=1217,1217,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731685194203","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9788978"},{"teacherId":9588020,"projectId":9623417,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our \"Focused Learning for 3rd Graders\" project.

Many of my students share devices or work in a busy classroom environment, so having their own headsets has made an incredible difference in their ability to concentrate and stay on task.\r\nThe excitement on their faces when the headsets arrived was priceless. They could not believe that individuals they have never met cared enough to invest in their learning. Immediately, students began using the headsets during small-group reading, online math programs, and independent assignments. The noise reduction has helped even my most easily distracted learners stay focused longer and complete their work with confidence.\r\nSeveral students who often struggled to follow audio directions are now participating more independently because they can clearly hear every instruction. Others who prefer quiet spaces feel more comfortable working because the headsets help them tune out classroom distractions. This simple tool has truly strengthened their engagement, improved their fluency work, and supported their overall academic growth.\r\nYour generosity has had a meaningful impact on our classroom.

The mobile standing desk has become a shared tool for both my students and myself. Some students choose to stand and work during independent practice, and I also use it to model during writing or when teaching math problems while moving around the room to better support learners. The mobile whiteboard now lives at our small-group table and is used every day for targeted instruction; I can quickly model strategies, break down problems step-by-step, and adjust lessons in real time based on what each group needs. The closet organizers keep our supplies neat and easy to find, which means students can take ownership of grabbing what they need without losing valuable learning time.\r\n\r\nThe first day everything was set up, the classroom was filled with excited reactions asking, \"Is that for us?\" and \"Can I try the standing desk today?\" My calming corner, now equipped with floor seats, quickly became a favorite spot. During center time, students are free to choose where they'll work best. Some chose to curl up on the floor seats to read or complete independent tasks, while others rotate to the standing desk or traditional seats. One student who often feels restless during work time told me, \"I like sitting on the floor over here because it helps me calm down and finish my work.\" Moments like that reminded me that these resources are meeting both academic and emotional needs.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we're able to take our current lessons a step deeper.\r\nAs we continue working on our ongoing lessons and activities, my students will rotate through small-group lessons at the mobile whiteboard, where I can tailor instruction to their specific needs, and then move into independent centers where they choose the seating that helps them focus best. Our next steps include having students use the different areas of the room to complete and share their work such as presenting from the standing desk, practicing skills in small groups, and reflecting quietly in the calming corner when needed. Your support didn't just add new items to our classroom, it helped create a flexible, student-centered environment where every learner has a space to feel successful.","fullyFundedDate":1755182913783,"projectUrl":"project/organizing-a-student-centered-space/9501794/","projectTitle":"Organizing a Student-Centered Space!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Henry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5560461_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1574388818564","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5560461"},{"teacherId":9614970,"projectId":9498813,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our STEM Sparks: Ignite Curiosity project!

Third graders are full of energy, creativity, and curiosity, which is wonderful—but without the right systems in place, it can sometimes lead to distractions and lost learning time. This project will provide organizational tools and materials that give students clear structure, help them manage their supplies, and allow them to focus on the lessons at hand.\r\n\r\nHow Organization Supports Learning\r\nBy implementing organized storage, labeled bins, and clear systems for student materials, each child will have the tools to succeed independently. They will spend less time searching for supplies or figuring out where to put their work and more time engaging with lessons and collaborating with peers. This structured environment will encourage responsibility, independence, and focus, which are essential skills for lifelong learning.\r\n\r\nThe Long-Term Impact\r\nThe ultimate goal of this project is to create a classroom where students feel confident, capable, and calm. By reducing clutter and confusion, students can fully immerse themselves in learning, complete tasks efficiently, and build habits that will benefit them throughout their academic journey.
