The new Chromebook charging stations have been a total game changer for our students. Many of you use technology at home, but in a classroom full of kids using Chromebooks all day, keeping them charged used to be a big challenge.\r\n\r\nBefore we had these stations, we'd lose time hunting for open outlets or waiting for devices to power up. Now, students can plug in their Chromebooks between lessons and come to class ready to go. It's made our day run so much smoother and helped everyone stay focused on learning instead of battery levels!\r\n\r\nThe students are especially excited to have their own organized \"charging hub.\" They take pride in keeping it neat and making sure everyone's Chromebook has a spot. It's been fun to see them take ownership and responsibility for our classroom tech.\r\n\r\nOne student who used to forget to charge their Chromebook now makes sure it's plugged in first thing every morning—and even reminds others to do the same. Another student loves helping manage the charging station and keeps things running like a pro.\r\n\r\nYour generosity might have funded something simple, but it's had a huge impact. You've helped our classroom stay powered up, organized, and ready to learn every single day.

It allows me to easily move around the room while teaching small groups, checking student work, and keeping materials organized. The fidget toys have also been a great resource for students who need a quiet way to focus during lessons or independent work time.\r\nMy students were so excited when they saw the rolling desk—they immediately wanted to help set it up and thought it was \"so cool\" that I could roll my workspace right next to them. The finger fidgets were an instant hit! Students were eager to pick their favorite designs, and many have already shared how it helps them stay calm and focused during learning time.","fullyFundedDate":1758636598809,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-success-sensory-tools-for/9721256/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into Success: Sensory Tools for Focused Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Osterhout","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5187562_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565122047100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5187562"},{"teacherId":10241322,"projectId":9697537,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom project on DonorsChoose! Thanks to your support, we now have a much-needed charging station that's already making a big difference in our day-to-day learning.\r\n\r\nIn today's classroom, technology plays a vital role in how students engage with lessons, conduct research, and complete assignments. Before this project was funded, we often struggled with keeping our devices charged throughout the day, which interrupted learning and limited access to digital resources. Now, with our new charging station, students can easily and safely charge their devices keeping them focused, organized, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nIt's a small change with a big impact. Students no longer have to sit on the floor near an outlet, share limited plugs, or worry about their devices dying during important work. Your support has created a more efficient and student-friendly learning environment, and for that, we are truly grateful.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself and all the students in our classroom, thank you again for investing in our success.

They loved discussing the roles people play in their neighborhoods and comparing it to what they've learned about communities in the past. Their curiosity sparked some great questions, and they were eager to share their own experiences.\r\n\r\nNext, we will be moving into our geography lessons, where students will use maps and other resources to explore the world around them.
