Each item you provided has had a meaningful and lasting impact on our classroom, and I am truly grateful for the difference you've made in the lives of my students.\r\n\r\nThe noise-canceling headphones have been especially valuable. From the moment they arrived, students were eager to use them. For those who struggle with focus or are easily distracted, the headphones have become a tool they rely on to succeed. They've helped create a quieter, more productive environment during independent work time, and students have shared how much more confident and calm they feel when they use them.\r\n\r\nThe classroom divider has also brought significant benefits. It's been used to create quiet workspaces, offer privacy during tests, and even provide a break area for students who need a moment to reset. The divider has helped reduce visual distractions and made it easier to support students' individual needs throughout the day. It's a simple resource, but its impact on focus and emotional regulation has been powerful.\r\n\r\nYour gift of jump ropes brought an immediate wave of excitement and activity to our recess time. Physical play is so important at this age, and the jump ropes have encouraged movement, cooperation, and joyful competition. Watching students learn new tricks and cheer each other on has been a highlight of our school day. They now look forward to recess with even more enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThank you also for the cookies you provided for snack time. It may seem like a small gesture, but it brought big smiles and a sense of celebration to our classroom. Many students expressed gratitude and excitement, and it gave them a sweet, shared moment to look forward to. For some, it meant receiving a special treat they might not often have at home—and that meant a great deal.\r\n\r\nLastly, the wireless remote for our smartboard has truly enhanced instruction. It allows me to move freely around the room, keeping students engaged and lessons flowing smoothly. Being able to interact with students while navigating lessons has improved the learning experience and increased participation across the board.\r\n\r\nYour donations have not only provided tools and resources, but they've also shown my students that they are supported and valued by people beyond our school walls. That message of care and encouragement is something they carry with them each day. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your belief in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1735498372032,"projectUrl":"project/regulation-for-all/8997246/","projectTitle":"Regulation for all","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Woodson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9638391_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753565655519","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9638391"},{"teacherId":9638391,"projectId":8600757,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom.
