These resources have already made a meaningful impact in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nSince the project was funded, I have distributed all of the lead refills, hundreds of lanyards, and ID card holders. Each day, many students visit my office to access items such as edge control, deodorant, and a variety of other hygiene and personal care products that are available to everyone on campus.\r\n\r\nI've also created a comfortable seating area where students can come to relax and reset when needed. They especially enjoy the bin of fidget toys, with the water motion bubblers quickly becoming a favorite.\r\n\r\nThe emojis and stress cubes have been wonderful additions to our school store, where students can purchase items using points they've earned for positive behavior.\r\n\r\nOverall, every item from this project has been put to great use over the past month. My students are truly grateful to have both their needs and small joys supported in this way. Thank you again for your generosity and support.","fullyFundedDate":1768111062047,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-thrive-essentials-incentives/9993185/","projectTitle":"Tools to Thrive: Essentials, Incentives, and SEL","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Miranda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6118058_orig.jpg?crop=834,834,x0,y158&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564950991993","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-trobiani"},{"teacherId":8129766,"projectId":10007339,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for adding new books to our library.

These supports truly make a difference for many students, especially when it comes to reading and maintaining focus. When students use headphones, they are better able to block out background noise and distractions, which allows them to concentrate more fully on text, audio supports, or independent work. This increased focus helps improve comprehension and stamina during reading tasks.\r\n\r\nHeadphones with microphones provide an additional layer of support, particularly for students who benefit from speech-to-text or oral responses. These tools allow students to verbalize their thinking, respond to questions, and organize their ideas without the added barrier of writing challenges. For students with reading or language-based difficulties, this can reduce frustration and give them a more accessible way to demonstrate understanding and engage with grade-level material.\r\n\r\nFidgets also play an important role in helping students regulate their attention and energy. For some learners, small, purposeful movement actually increases concentration rather than distracts from it. When students are able to manage their need for movement in a structured way, they are better equipped to stay engaged during reading instruction, discussions, and independent work. Your support of these tools helps create an environment where students can focus, build skills, and succeed. Thank you again for partnering in this effort.","fullyFundedDate":1768323876363,"projectUrl":"project/building-confident-readers-in-special-ed/10005066/","projectTitle":"Building Confident Readers in Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Danielle DeClue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9356989"},{"teacherId":9623607,"projectId":9989103,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"See Science Up Close with Technology.\" Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in my students' learning experience, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are now able to explore science in a more interactive and engaging way.

The iPad also supports different learning styles by offering multiple ways for students to access content, practice skills, and demonstrate understanding, helping ensure that all learners can participate and succeed.\r\nWhat excites students most is the ability to interact with simulations and create their own learning products using the iPad. They are highly motivated by being able to manipulate variables, observe outcomes, and learn through exploration rather than memorization.

With your help, we were able to bring in new headphones, headphones with microphones, special handwriting papers, and a selection of fun incentives for students. For many of our students, technology is woven into their daily lives outside of school, but having the right tools in class makes a world of difference in how they learn. The new headphones have quickly become the most exciting addition. Our old set had seen better days — a lot of them just didn't work the way they were supposed to, and that made it tough for students to focus or participate fully in lessons that require listening or recording themselves. Now, with brand-new headphones and microphones, students can hear their lessons clearly, follow along with online activities, and even record their own reading. It's made everything from literacy programs to language learning so much more accessible for everyone. One thing I didn't expect was just how happy this would make some of my students who have always struggled with earbud-style headphones. A few kids have sensory sensitivities and really dislike the feeling of earbuds, so having different options in class has made them much more comfortable and willing to participate. It's a small change that really matters. The handwriting paper has also helped students practice their writing skills in a structured, supportive way. And of course, the incentives you helped provide have kept spirits high and encouraged everyone to keep trying their best. Your donation didn't just give us supplies — it gave my students a chance to learn in a way that works for them. Thank you for making that possible.
