With access to earphones, students are able to participate in audio-based learning activities, such as interactive reading programs and math games, without distractions. This has allowed them to develop essential listening skills and maintain focus in a busy classroom setting. The iPad chargers have ensured that we are always prepared for digital lessons, which have become a vital part of our curriculum. The technology has empowered my students to take control of their learning, allowing them to practice at their own pace and progress independently.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect of the new technology is the increased engagement it has fostered. For instance, one of my students, who previously struggled with staying on task, has become more attentive and excited about our iReady math and reading programs. The interactive nature of these apps has captured their interest, and they are now more eager to participate in lessons. Other students, particularly those who benefit from auditory support, have found the earphones to be a game-changer. They can now fully immerse themselves in the lesson without outside interruptions, and the improvement in their focus and retention has been remarkable. Thanks to these resources, my students are developing a deeper love for learning and are building skills that will set them up for success in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1745846979519,"projectUrl":"project/tech-support-needed/9215129/","projectTitle":"Tech Support Needed!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Radlein","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp775483_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504567737603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pilar-radlein"},{"teacherId":644069,"projectId":9224446,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous gift to our classroom — we are absolutely thrilled to have a brand-new color printer thanks to YOU! 🎉🎨✨\r\n\r\nIn preschool, learning is all about color, imagination, and joy — and now, thanks to your kindness, we can bring our lessons to life in vibrant ways! From colorful alphabet charts and story props to vivid student artwork and bright behavior charts, our classroom is about to become a rainbow of creativity and learning. We had the very best time printing out pictures for their end of the year celebration and Mother's and Father's Day gifts for the family. We were also able to make very cool class yearbooks they will hopefully keep for ever! \r\n\r\nYou didn't just donate a printer — you gave my students (many of whom don't have access to these kinds of resources at home) the gift of visibility, excitement, and pride in their work. Their eyes light up when they see their projects printed in full color — it makes them feel important, capable, and celebrated.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of early education and for helping make our classroom a more inspiring place.

The students were immediately excited and engaged, and the robots quickly became one of the highlights of our learning experience. For many students, this was their first time working with programmable robots, and it made the world of coding come alive in a hands-on and creative way. They especially enjoyed programming the Spheros to follow obstacle courses, create shapes, and even choreograph \"robot dances\" synchronized to music.\r\n\r\nThese projects not only taught students the basics of coding but also encouraged problem-solving, collaboration, and perseverance. They discovered how small changes in their code could dramatically affect movement and direction, helping them understand both the precision and creativity involved in programming. Even students who were hesitant at first began to stay in during recess to improve their code and work with classmates to solve challenges.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly inspired our students to pursue further learning in coding and computer science. They now view these subjects as fun, empowering, and full of possibility.
