I am writing to extend my deepest gratitude to you for your generous donation through DonorsChoose, which helped fund the speaker system and social studies resources for my classroom. Your support has made a meaningful and lasting impact on both my instruction and, more importantly, on my students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, I was able to enhance my classroom environment in ways that would not have been possible otherwise. The speaker has been a game-changer in terms of how I incorporate technology and music into my lessons. I am now able to play audio materials clearly for the entire class, whether it's a podcast on historical events, an audiobook version of a primary source, or background music that sets the tone for a thematic lesson. The sound quality is excellent, and it allows all students—regardless of where they are seated—to fully engage with the materials being presented. This has particularly helped some of my auditory learners who benefit from clear, high-quality sound during instruction.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the speaker, the social studies resources have significantly enriched our curriculum. These materials have served as excellent supplements to what is already taught in class. They provide fresh perspectives, interactive content, and relevant context that bring history and civics to life. For example, my students recently completed a unit on American government, and the additional resources you helped provide offered engaging ways to connect the content to real-world applications. They were able to explore new maps, read age-appropriate biographies, and work through activity sheets that encouraged deeper thinking and discussion.\r\n\r\nThe materials have also helped me differentiate instruction more effectively. With a wide range of learners in my classroom, it is vital to have tools that can cater to various reading levels and learning styles. The new resources allowed me to create small-group activities where students could engage in content that matched their learning needs and strengths. This not only helped improve understanding but also built confidence among students who might have otherwise struggled with more traditional textbook approaches.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the inclusion of music through the speaker system has made a noticeable difference in classroom engagement. I have been able to incorporate historical songs, instrumental background music during group work, and even short musical transitions that signal a shift in activities. These changes have contributed to a more dynamic and student-centered learning environment. Music has helped set the tone for the day, boost energy levels, and even create moments of calm and reflection when needed.\r\n\r\nI want you to know that your donation has made a real and tangible difference—not just in the tools available in our classroom, but in the energy, curiosity, and joy that my students bring to their learning each day. They are excited to come to class, to listen, to explore, and to create. This excitement is directly connected to the resources you have so generously helped provide.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for believing in my students and in the power of education. Your support means more than words can express. I am truly grateful for your investment in our classroom and our future.","fullyFundedDate":1735670872701,"projectUrl":"project/if-they-can-see-and-hear-it-theyll-lea/8730471/","projectTitle":"If They Can See and Hear It, They'll Learn It","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gachelin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1063913"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107636","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":641,"numTeachers":66,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.9,"schoolId":107636,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edward M Felegy Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edward M Felegy Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/prince-george-s-county-public-schools/edward-m-felegy-elementary-school/107636"}
