In our kindergarten classroom, curiosity blooms every day, and your contribution has made a world of difference in helping us nurture that excitement.\r\n\r\nWe've already begun using the new binders, dividers, and page protectors to organize our learning centers. Each binder is filled with engaging math and reading activities, and the reusable \"wipe and write\" tasks have been a huge hit! \r\n\r\nAs for what's next, we're continuing to build on this momentum by introducing new activities into the binders each week. Our current focus is addition and subtraction fluency, and these tools allow us to keep the content fresh and interactive. Thanks to you, my students are developing confidence, independence, and a love for learning that will last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and for believing in our classroom.

My students have been beyond excited for the flexible seating options that have been added to our class. Wobble chairs have become increasingly popular in classrooms, especially for students who need movement to focus. I have seen a huge difference in my students, especially those who have a harder time with attention or sensory processing, since the wobble chairs have been added into the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe chairs have been used at my small group table, but students also have the option to use them during independent work. I have had students ask me if they can move to help them better stay on task. I love how they have helped students become more self aware and take responsibility in wanting to regulate their body energy to learn in their best way. Thank you again!

Thanks to your support, we have received headphones, dry erase markers, and ID tag holders, which have significantly enhanced our learning environment. The headphones have been invaluable for online learning and testing, allowing our students to focus and engage more effectively. The dry erase markers have brought a new level of excitement to our games and practice work, while the ID tag holders have helped our students keep our ID tags safe!\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a game-changer during our online learning sessions, ensuring that each student can hear and participate without distraction. The ID holders have made our daily routines smoother, as students proudly wear their badges and feel a sense of responsibility.

Your support has made a real difference in the lives of my students and in the learning environment of our classroom. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment to education.\r\n\r\nYour contribution helped us acquire much-needed headphones and connecting cubes, two resources that have already proven to be invaluable in enhancing our classroom learning. With these new tools, we are able to create an even more engaging, interactive, and personalized experience for our students, and I want to share with you how these tools are being used to help our students thrive.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a game-changer in the classroom. As we engage in blended learning, which involves a mix of in-person and online instruction, the headphones are essential for helping our students focus on their individual lessons. The ability to listen to phonics lessons or math tutorials at their own pace has helped students build their foundational skills, and I've already seen significant improvements in their literacy and numeracy levels. \r\n\r\nEqually as exciting are the connecting cubes, which are being used to teach important math concepts. The connecting cubes are such a hands-on resource, and our students absolutely love using them! We are using these cubes to teach concepts like numbers to 100 and understanding teen numbers, which can often be difficult for young learners to grasp. By physically manipulating the cubes, students are able to visualize number patterns, compare values, and develop a deeper understanding of how numbers work.","fullyFundedDate":1735066051961,"projectUrl":"project/tune-in-for-learning-headphones-for-eve/9008113/","projectTitle":"Tune In For Learning: Headphones For Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bizzell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3429591_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y161&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753101839704","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-mauney"},{"teacherId":5791246,"projectId":8353132,"letterContent":"It's not every day that my students get to have new instruments and resources in our classroom.
