These dividers have been especially helpful during independent work, small-group rotations, and assessments. Students feel more confident knowing they can focus on their own thinking and give their best effort without unnecessary pressure.\r\n\r\nI have already seen a positive change in student engagement and work quality. Learners are more settled, more confident, and more willing to take academic risks because they feel supported in their space.\r\n\r\nYour kindness goes far beyond classroom supplies. You've helped create an environment where students feel respected, encouraged, and capable of success. Most importantly, you've shown them that their learning matters and that people believe in them.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for investing in our classroom and helping us build focused minds and engaged learners every day.","fullyFundedDate":1758202887217,"projectUrl":"project/focused-minds-engaged-learners-privacy/9524303/","projectTitle":"Focused Minds, Engaged Learners: Privacy Dividers + Clickers for Campus!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. F.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3659596_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736529226733","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3659596"},{"teacherId":3659596,"projectId":9225276,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, \"Writing Tools for Bright Thinkers.\" Because of you, my students now have the tools they need to express their ideas with confidence, creativity, and pride.\r\n\r\nMany of my 4th graders have big thoughts and powerful stories to share, but without the right materials, those ideas often stayed locked inside. Thanks to your kindness, students are now equipped with writing tools that help them organize their thinking, strengthen their writing stamina, and take ownership of their learning. I already see a difference—students are more engaged, eager to write, and excited to revise and improve their work.\r\n\r\nYour generosity goes beyond supplies; it sends a message to my students that their voices matter and that people believe in their potential.
