These items play a vital role in creating a calm and focused testing environment for our students. The calm strips placed on desks help reduce anxiety during tests by providing a soothing tactile experience, while the headphones minimize distractions, allowing students to concentrate better. The mice improve ease of use during digital assessments. This support is especially important as our students begin state testing this year, a time when maintaining a calm and focused environment is crucial for their success.\r\n\r\nOur students are particularly excited about how these tools help them feel more comfortable and confident during testing and learning activities. We have seen notable benefits for students who experience test anxiety or need sensory support, as the calm strips and headphones create a more peaceful and personalized space for them. Overall, these technologies foster an inclusive environment that empowers all students to perform their best during this critical testing period. Furthermore, the organized folder hanger helps me manage information securely and efficiently. This support is especially important as our students begin state testing this year.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful contributions are making a meaningful difference in our students' learning experiences, helping them approach tests and assignments with greater ease and confidence. We sincerely appreciate your partnership in supporting their success.","fullyFundedDate":1751478715754,"projectUrl":"project/focused-learning-tools-and-tracking-for/9421740/","projectTitle":"Focused Learning: Tools and Tracking for Student Success Online","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McMillan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058480_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y408&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750196003467","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cmcmillan"},{"teacherId":10058480,"projectId":9436618,"letterContent":"STEM manipulative bins have brought a wonderful transformation to our classroom by making learning more hands-on and interactive. Students are now more engaged, especially during our morning sessions, where they eagerly explore the materials to build and experiment. These manipulatives encourage creativity and critical thinking as students design their own projects, test ideas, and solve problems collaboratively. The tactile experience helps solidify abstract STEM concepts by allowing students to see and touch what they are learning, making lessons more meaningful and memorable.\r\n\r\nThanks to the generosity of our donors, our students will continue to explore and build with STEM materials. We will be doing fun challenges where students work together in small groups to design structures and solve problems using what they've learned. These activities will help them practice teamwork, share ideas, and think carefully about how things work. This hands-on learning will make science and math more exciting and help them feel confident as young creators and problem-solvers.","fullyFundedDate":1751226851977,"projectUrl":"project/stem-bins-stations-hands-on-learning-fo/9436618/","projectTitle":"STEM Bins Stations: Hands-On Learning for Future Innovators","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McMillan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10058480_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y408&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750196003467","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cmcmillan"},{"teacherId":7907031,"projectId":9288032,"letterContent":"You played a crucial role in helping me organize my math station, creating a more efficient and engaging learning environment for my students. One of the most impactful additions was a math station shelf, which allows me to neatly organize various materials and tools used during our math activities. This shelf not only helps me keep the classroom tidy, but it also makes it easier to set up and rotate different learning centers throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThe math station shelf also benefits the students directly. It gives them easy access to the materials they need and teaches them responsibility by encouraging them to return items to their proper place when they're finished. This independence fosters a sense of ownership in their learning and keeps the classroom running smoothly during small group instruction or independent practice time.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the student shelf, a file cabinet and book shelf have been instrumental in maintaining long-term organization. I use them to store materials and resources for each unit in our math curriculum, which saves valuable time when planning and preparing lessons. Thanks to your generous contributions, my math station is now a well-organized and student-friendly space that supports effective teaching and active learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746706196590,"projectUrl":"project/math-station-mess/9288032/","projectTitle":"Math Station Mess","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7907031_orig.jpg?crop=917,917,x576,y96&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626456957345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7907031"},{"teacherId":9993820,"projectId":9246132,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to this project.

Your kindness and generosity have brought an incredible hands-on learning experience to our classroom.\r\n\r\nOur students are already buzzing with excitement as they observe the balance between fish and plants in action. This system isn't just a cool addition to our room—it's a living, breathing lesson in science, sustainability, and responsibility. Through this project, my students are gaining a deeper understanding of ecosystems, the nitrogen cycle, and how humans can work with nature to grow food in innovative ways.\r\n\r\nBeyond the science, this aquaponics system is sparking curiosity, inspiring future environmentalists, and giving our students a sense of ownership and wonder. Every day, they eagerly check on the fish, monitor the plants, and discuss what they're learning.
