Not only did this activity spark creativity, but it also helped build confidence and community in our classroom right from the start.\r\n\r\nThese simple tools are making a huge difference in helping my students learn and express themselves every day.","fullyFundedDate":1746785807589,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-start-the-year-strong/9293033/","projectTitle":"Help Us Start the Year Strong!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9272684_orig.png?crop=789,789,x71,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720749433730","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9272684"},{"teacherId":9272796,"projectId":9047648,"letterContent":"On behalf of our Kindergarten and First Grade combination class, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of headphones, writing boards, and chair bands. Your thoughtful gifts have brought so much joy, support, and focus to our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the headphones, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately wanted to pick their favorite color; there was so much joy in that moment! The headphones have been a huge help during lessons, especially for independent work. The students have been so respectful and careful with them because they truly appreciate having something so special.\r\n\r\nThe writing boards were also a big surprise for many students; most had never seen anything like them before. At first, they were a bit confused, but once they started exploring, they were thrilled. They loved that with just one swipe, the board was like new again! Now they're using them enthusiastically to practice sight words and spelling words. The boards have become a quick, effective, and fun way to reinforce learning.\r\n\r\nWe're especially grateful for the chair bands. In a class with such young and active learners, the chair bands have been a wonderful tool. They give students a way to move and release energy while staying at their desks and engaged in their work. They've truly made a noticeable difference in helping students focus.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made our learning space more engaging, comfortable, and supportive for every student.

For our English language learners and students who benefit from audio support, the difference has been especially impactful — they now have the tools they need to access content more confidently and independently.\r\n\r\nThese headphones have also helped reduce classroom noise and tech frustrations, making transitions smoother and learning time more productive. It's amazing how something so simple can create such a positive shift in behavior, confidence, and overall classroom culture.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your investment in our students' success.
