Many of these stories also reflect the cultures, backgrounds, and interests of our students, helping them see themselves as heroes and scholars.\r\n\r\nYour donation does more than fill shelves, as it creates joyful reading experiences, supports literacy growth, and helps students associate reading with excitement rather than obligation.

The tissues, hand sanitizer, lip balm, and cleaning wipes help us maintain a clean, healthy, and comfortable space where students can focus on learning instead of distractions.\r\n\r\nYour donation also provided practical items that support our daily routines, such as charging cables and power stations that help keep instructional technology running smoothly, as well as bowls, plates, and cups that allow us to build community during classroom activities and special moments.

Students are excited about how interactive and accessible the iPad makes career exploration. They can explore careers in real time, anywhere in my office or the library. \r\n\r\nThis technology has been especially impactful for students who don't always have access to reliable devices at home and for those who learn best through hands-on, visual tools.

One of the most immediate changes students noticed was the new lighting. Replacing harsh overhead lights with softer, muted lighting completely shifted the atmosphere. Students commented right away that the room felt calmer, more inviting, and even \"cozy.\" Several mentioned that it was easier to focus on content without feeling overstimulated, and I've seen that reflected in their engagement, discussion, and willingness to participate. Tools designed to support focus—intentional seating arrangements, organized materials, and a thoughtfully designed environment—have helped students settle in quickly and stay present during lessons. Learning feels less stressful and more intentional, which has created a truly friendly and supportive classroom culture.\r\n\r\nThe materials purchased for my Sports History course have also had a powerful impact. With new resources, students are exploring a wide range of sports and examining their influence on society, culture, equity, and historical change. These materials have allowed us to move beyond surface-level conversations and dive into meaningful discussions about race, gender, politics, economics, and identity through the lens of sports. Students are actively using these resources for research, projects, and collaborative discussions, often making connections between historical events and current issues in athletics. I've watched students who were previously quiet become confident contributors because they now have access to materials that spark curiosity and encourage critical thinking. Their excitement is genuine, and many have shared that this class feels different—in the best possible way—because the environment supports both learning and exploration.","fullyFundedDate":1699654042310,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom/8008588/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kretschmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9355580"},{"teacherId":9411366,"projectId":9291831,"letterContent":"This has had a huge impact in my classroom.

My students receive special education services and often need extra support, and this device has already made a meaningful difference for them. The Surface Pro you provided has become an essential part of how my students learn mathematics, practice skills, and build confidence every day. Many of them struggle with organization, processing speed, and staying engaged during lessons, and this technology has helped bridge those gaps. With the tablet, I can model problems in real time, annotate student work, and give immediate visual feedback that helps students understand concepts more clearly.\r\nI have also noticed how much fun it is for them to solve problems using the device. Several students who were previously hesitant to participate now volunteer to come up and demonstrate their thinking on the tablet. It has become a tool that makes them feel capable, included, and proud of their ideas. For one student in particular, being able to zoom in, break problems into smaller steps, and write using the stylus has helped him stay engaged and calm during lessons.\r\nYour support has truly opened new possibilities for teaching and learning in our room. The Surface Pro has made our math instruction more interactive, more inclusive, and more supportive for students who need multiple pathways to succeed.

Because of your generosity, we were able to bring a color printer and iPad into our special education program, two tools that have completely transformed the way my students learn and the way I am able to support them.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has been an incredible resource for data collection. Instead of shuffling through papers and clipboards, I can quickly and accurately track student progress in real time. This allows me to adjust instruction on the spot, celebrate growth right away, and share meaningful updates with families. Parents have told me how much they appreciate getting timely feedback on their child's progress, and students are motivated when they can see their own growth charted right in front of them.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has also made a huge difference. My students light up when they receive materials that are bright, engaging, and personalized for them. Visual schedules, modified assignments, and hands-on learning activities are so much more effective when they are in color. For example, one of my students who struggles with reading comprehension was able to use a color-coded graphic organizer that helped him finally make connections he hadn't before. Another student who is learning money identification benefits from realistic, full-color practice bills that make the learning experience more concrete.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources have given my students a sense of pride. They are excited to use materials that look professional and purposeful, and they take ownership of their work in a new way. For students who often face challenges in school, these small victories build confidence that carries over into other parts of their day.\r\n\r\nYour donation has had a real, lasting impact, not just on academics, but on the way my students see themselves as learners.
