The large book pouches, clipboards, mesh zipper pouches, and pencil pouches are used on a daily basis for math, phonics, and reading lessons. The students come to the carpet and love playing the number recognition floor game to practice fact fluency. They also love working with the fidget game sneaky elves CVC sight words. Anytime they are allowed to use fidget, it is definitely a WIN for everyone.

This technology has already made a remarkable difference in our classroom and opened new doors for learning, creativity, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nMany of you may use technology at home for work or daily life, but in our classroom the 3D printer has become a hands-on learning tool that turns ideas into real, tangible creations. Students are able to design objects on the computer and then watch their ideas come to life, which deepens their understanding of math, engineering, and design in ways textbooks simply cannot provide. They are not only learning how to use software but also gaining critical thinking skills as they troubleshoot, improve, and reimagine their designs.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for our students is seeing their imagination transformed into something they can hold in their hands. Whether it's creating custom keychains, models of historical landmarks, or prototypes for science projects, the thrill of watching the printer layer by layer \"build\" their ideas has been incredible to witness. It's sparked a level of engagement and curiosity that fills our classroom with energy every time the printer is running.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who usually struggles with traditional classroom tasks, has truly shined with this new technology. He has taken to designing intricate models, showing a level of patience and detail that has amazed both his peers and teachers. For him, and for many others, this tool has opened up a new way of learning and expressing creativity.\r\n\r\nYour support has not just purchased a piece of equipment—it has inspired confidence, creativity, and innovation in our students. Thank you for investing in their futures and helping us bring learning to life in such an exciting way.","fullyFundedDate":1746558331340,"projectUrl":"project/layer-by-layer-building-bright-minds/9290024/","projectTitle":"Layer by Layer: Building Bright Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1490628_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1481860542947","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-phillipsl"},{"teacherId":7718000,"projectId":6824874,"letterContent":"Having headphones in the classroom is a necessity in this day and age. The need them for daily learning in centers, typing practice, and is it crucial to have them for state testing. \r\n\r\nTesting now requires students to listen to stories, questions, hear words and break them apart into sounds, anything you can imagine in a classroom and correctly respond. They also have to read and speak with the headphones picking up what they say. Having unreliable headphones can make this a stressful time for students. Because my students all had working headphones, they did not have a moment of panic from unnecessary worries! \r\n\r\nWe are so thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1663514087219,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-tech-time/6824874/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Tech Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7718000_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1610412744617","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmaddiesmusicclass"},{"teacherId":655071,"projectId":8744010,"letterContent":"My students were over the moon when the new items arrived in our classroom this year.
