You have given several students the opportunity to take photos, some for the very first time! \r\nThe cameras you purchased are used at least three out of the 5 days per week, capturing history/memories of our 25 -26 school year. Your donations have created confidence, social skills, patiences, and a lot of pride for \"the\" picture that's placed within our school annual. \r\nStudents are excited to use the cameras, upload their images, and begin the editing process. Because of your thoughtfulness, the students no longer seek my approval for their photos! They now have the confidence to trust their own judgement and I truly appreciate this, because YOU gave them this opportunity to grow and expand their experiences. I would have never been able to accomplish this without your support, especially during the Middle School years.\r\nYou have assisted with the life skills these students now carry, which will cross over into any aspect of their lives. And for that, I am truly grateful.\r\nAgain, thank you for believing in us, and now having the students believe in themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1758833178535,"projectUrl":"project/its-a-kodak-world-we-just-live-in-it/9640262/","projectTitle":"\"It's a Kodak World: We Just Live In It.\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Connelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1551853"},{"teacherId":5082451,"projectId":9547787,"letterContent":"These headsets are FANCY! They are soft and comfortable. The mics work really well, even if you use a low volume of voice (great for those shy folks!). My students feel very \"treated\" by this gift of noise-cancelling headsets. They are taking proper care of them, and it's a big deal when they get to use them. \r\n\r\nThe greatest thing is that I am having more students feel comfortable about voice typing. That was a top priority--to level the playing field. In addition, when we do diagnostic testing or state testing, headsets are required. The experience will now be much more pleasant for the kids. \r\n\r\nThis was a big ask, as it was expensive, and once again, donors came through and supported our classroom. I cannot thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1758833171646,"projectUrl":"project/hello-can-you-hear-me/9547787/","projectTitle":"Hello?

Our overhead, fluorescent lighting can be harsh. Students regularly ask to have the lights turned. With the soft lights provided by the banker's lamp and floor lamp, the writer's lab table is a place students want to be. The say that they feel more academic.

The students asked, \"What's in there?\" When I explained that there were cleaning supplies and devices, they wanted to see. They wanted to smell the wipes (which are a pleasing mix of citrus and lemongrass). Then, they wanted to clean! Perhaps they were avoiding writing their essays...I know they were, but it made me smile to know that they were as excited about these goods as I was. Our classroom is a home away from home for both me and the children. I have promised \"Freshen-up Fridays\" where we take a few minues to wipe, dust and vacuum up the corners. \r\n\r\nThe students really loved that the dust cloths and the handheld vac were sustainable items (washable and rechargeable), and that the wipes did not smell like clorox, depite their antibacterial qualities. I cannot thank you enough for your support in this project. In addition to the fact that our classroom will be cleaner, I have a group of very willing (if perhaps procrastinating) children to take part in \"owning\" their envvironment.
