We have also been able to incorporate their use in practicing for state required exams and getting more comfortable successfully answering questions. The chargers have been incredibly useful when we have students working in small groups and need to use their computers for extend periods of time. They don't lose focus due to lack of charge and don't risk losing work which is crucial to a student. \r\nOur students also thoroughly appreciated the new erasers in that we use a lot of dry erase boards and students really enjoy fresh erasers to help their work organized. \r\nThese items that may seem small to many make a world of difference to the success of a student and I am truly thankful for supporting my classroom in the generous ways you have.","fullyFundedDate":1735426853448,"projectUrl":"project/essential-supplies-for-student-success/8885926/","projectTitle":"Essential Supplies for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mosqueda-Rogers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9806528_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735435306411","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9806528"},{"teacherId":7608050,"projectId":8887482,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our project.
