It truly made my day to see how excited the students were. The classroom has transformed into a peaceful, focused learning space where each child can dive into their work without distractions. We've already celebrated a milestone: over 1,000 Lexia units completed! The headphones also let students hear the AR (Accelerated Reader) quizzes read aloud clearly, helping them better understand what they're reading and not a single one has complained about discomfort, which is wonderful to see.\r\n\r\nWhat our students love most is the chance to fully immerse themselves in lessons, no background noise, just learning at their own pace. They've taken such good care of the headphones, too tucking them back in their desks and wrapping the cords neatly every time. It's really fostered a wonderful sense of respect and responsibility. I've noticed that students are more confident, engaged, and on task.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful support has made a tangible difference every day in our classroom. The students genuinely value using the headphones They look forward to using them and it's boosting both their academic and social growth. They're more independent now, and I'm so proud of how they've embraced both the technology and the responsibility that comes with it. From all of us here in 2nd grade, thank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755718040069,"projectUrl":"project/all-ears-for-learning-engaging-with-qua/9420423/","projectTitle":"All Ears for Learning: Engaging with Quality Headphones","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9227257_orig.jpg?crop=1249,1249,x624,y584&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705183046625","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9227257"},{"teacherId":3492840,"projectId":9233449,"letterContent":"This wonderful project allowed my kids who are ravenous for books in the series that they love.

We have a population of Native American kids that deserve this kind of attention and indepth study of their heritage. \r\nThe science projects we can do and the things my students can learn makes me and them so happy.

In those two months alone I have seen such a great impact. With some of the warmer days we have had sporadically during these months and the pollen count being rather high it has helped so much. My allergies have decreased and all the students that come in from recess with runny noses and their allergies acting up find relief after a little time in our room with the air purifier on. I look forward to how much help it will provide iun spring during our state testing. I already see the impact from the small moments on our productivity and can't wait to see the impact in spring.\r\nThank you to all who contributed and helped my classroom get this amazing air filter!","fullyFundedDate":1733245419229,"projectUrl":"project/clear-the-air-and-clear-our-a-minds/8872104/","projectTitle":"Clear the Air and Clear our a Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Salcido","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9325476"},{"teacherId":3492840,"projectId":8962703,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of this project.

As 3rd graders being able to read well matters so much but having new books and being excited about reading is invaluable to them. \r\nI am so grateful for the support you've given them by your donation my teacher heart is full.

Magnetic letters have sparked excitement as students use them to explore phonetic sounds and English rules, both independently and in small groups. They've eagerly built and manipulated words, deepening their understanding of vowel patterns and consonant blends while gaining confidence in their spelling skills. Dry-erase boards have complemented this learning, allowing students to practice, revise, and refine their work in a way that encourages persistence and creativity.\r\nMathematic Jenga and Connect 4 have further enhanced our group activities during centers. Mathematic Jenga has made practicing arithmetic fun and engaging, as students work together to solve equations and strategically pull blocks, reinforcing teamwork and problem-solving skills. Similarly, Connect 4 has supported critical thinking by encouraging students to develop strategies and anticipate moves, fostering deeper cognitive engagement. These tools have not only boosted academic growth but also promoted collaboration, creativity, and a love for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1722783212328,"projectUrl":"project/tools-that-create-excitement-for-learnin/8535119/","projectTitle":"Tools That Create Excitement For Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jaramillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9618006_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x150,y162&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722479727425","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9618006"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43202","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":235,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":9,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"23.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":43202,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Happy Valley Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Happy Valley Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/happy-valley-union-school-district/happy-valley-primary-school/43202"}
