It has already made such a positive impact on my students and our learning environment. The new snacks have become an important part of our daily routine, giving my students the energy they need to focus during lessons and participate in activities. Whether it's a quick break during our reading time or a small treat to celebrate completing a project, these snacks are helping to keep their spirits high and their minds engaged.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with excitement. It was such a simple, but meaningful gesture that made them feel cared for and supported. They were thrilled to have something extra to look forward to each day, and it really helped foster a sense of community within our classroom. It's moments like these that remind me how much small acts of kindness can mean to students.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, my students are diving into [mention current project, lesson, or topic], and the snacks will continue to play a key role in keeping them motivated. The next step is to [explain the next phase of the lesson or project], and I know they'll appreciate having a little boost as they work through it.

Whether it's a story about animals, an adventure, or a silly character, these books are helping them see reading as something fun and meaningful. Even in these early weeks, the library is creating moments of connection—students recommending books to one another, reading side by side, and celebrating favorite stories together.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom has become a place where reading is celebrated daily and every child can see themselves as a reader.

These quick assessments give me immediate insight into each student's understanding, allowing me to tailor follow-up instruction to meet their needs more effectively.\r\n\r\nAll of our math assessments are also administered online, providing a seamless and efficient way for students to demonstrate their learning using digital tools.\r\n\r\nIn addition, students use their iPads and headphones daily during read-aloud sessions. This not only enhances their listening skills but also helps improve their overall reading comprehension and performance during benchmark assessments.\r\n\r\nAnother popular use of technology is during the writing process. After completing a rough draft, students use iPads to assist with spelling corrections and editing, which encourages independence and helps them produce more polished final drafts.\r\n\r\nFinally, students complete district assessments using headphones and digital platforms, which ensures accessibility and consistency across all testing environments.","fullyFundedDate":1731531595468,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-storage/8713723/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2509235_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747890070426","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/polkinghornandtrochalakis"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35952","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":368,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.8,"schoolId":35952,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Green Lake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Green Lake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/district-one-seattle-public-schools/green-lake-elementary-school/35952"}
