It was a wonderful example of collaboration and active listening in action.","fullyFundedDate":1752586400115,"projectUrl":"project/sound-space-empowering-our-classroom/9426890/","projectTitle":"Sound & Space: Empowering Our Classroom with Music and Flexibility","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Placencio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9892596"},{"teacherId":9892596,"projectId":9057840,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and our classroom, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for funding our Cricut project. Your generosity is helping us bring creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning to life!\r\n\r\nSince receiving the Cricut, my students have been using it to create personalized classroom projects, from custom bookmarks to decorations for our learning spaces. One of our first projects was designing unique name tags for our \"Welcome to the Hive\" bulletin board. Watching each student carefully plan, design, and cut their project was a magical moment—they were so proud to see their ideas come to life!\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the Cricut, their excitement was truly contagious. Eyes widened, smiles appeared, and many exclaimed how \"cool\" it was. It was clear that they immediately understood this tool would give them the ability to create and explore in ways they hadn't imagined before.\r\n\r\nYour support not only provides the resources we need but also shows our students that their learning and creativity are valued. Because of your generosity, we can inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and give students a real sense of ownership in their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a meaningful difference in our classroom and for investing in our students' growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1744033031140,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-endless-creative-learning-with/9057840/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Endless Creative Learning with a Cricut","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Placencio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9892596"},{"teacherId":8413193,"projectId":7684275,"letterContent":"We've been using the new paint and brushes during our \"Colors All Around Us\" art unit. One of our favorite projects so far has been creating self-portraits—students carefully chose colors for their hair, skin, and clothes, and then added personal touches that made each painting unique. The high-quality brushes have helped little hands paint with more control, and the vibrant paints have allowed their creativity to shine in ways we haven't seen before.\r\nThe moment the paint and brushes were unpacked, my students' faces lit up. They were amazed by all the bright colors and couldn't wait to get started. Several immediately asked, \"Can we paint today?\" Their excitement filled the room, and the sound of happy chatter mixed with brush strokes quickly became the soundtrack of our day.\r\nNext, we'll be using the paints and brushes to create a collaborative mural that represents our classroom community. Each child will contribute their own painted piece—flowers, handprints, shapes, and favorite things—which we'll assemble into one large artwork to display in our hallway. This project will not only showcase their artistic skills but also celebrate teamwork and belonging in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1692310916299,"projectUrl":"project/color-our-world/7684275/","projectTitle":"Color Our World","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Angel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8413193_orig.jpg?crop=1186,1186,x0,y604&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677079818185","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8413193"},{"teacherId":8413193,"projectId":7680508,"letterContent":"We've been using the toothbrushes as part of our Healthy Smiles unit in Pre-K. Each child now has their own toothbrush to keep at school, and we've been practicing proper brushing techniques after lunch. One of my favorite moments was when we did a \"Brush Along\" activity with a big tooth model—my students were so eager to show they could brush just like the model! These resources have made our lessons on personal hygiene hands-on and memorable.\r\nTheir eyes lit up with excitement! For many of my students, having their very own toothbrush at school was a brand-new experience. Some even hugged their toothbrush package and proudly announced, \"This is mine!\" It was a moment filled with joy and ownership—they couldn't wait to open them and start practicing right away.\r\nOur next step is to continue building healthy habits through our \"Taking Care of Me\" unit. Students will be tracking their brushing routines on a sticker chart to build consistency, and we'll pair this with lessons on healthy eating and visits from our school nurse. The toothbrushes you provided will continue to be part of our daily routine, helping my students develop lifelong self-care skills.","fullyFundedDate":1692132409824,"projectUrl":"project/a-bright-smile-goes-a-long-way/7680508/","projectTitle":"A Bright Smile Goes a Long Way!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Angel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8413193_orig.jpg?crop=1186,1186,x0,y604&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677079818185","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8413193"},{"teacherId":8413193,"projectId":7288672,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom!

These devices have provided an invaluable tool for improving pronunciation, comprehension, and overall communication skills.\r\n\r\nWith the ability to listen to accurate pronunciations, students can immerse themselves in language exercises without being distracted by background noise. The built-in microphone allows them to record their responses and listen to their own speech, helping them identify areas for improvement and refine their pronunciation. This self-assessment process fosters greater confidence and independence in their language development.\r\n\r\nBeyond language learning, these headphones have contributed to a more focused and engaging classroom environment.
