They are comfortable, colorful, and work so much better than what we use to use. \r\n\r\nAnd the best part, we finally have enough for the whole class. So many of our lessons require students to watch videos. Having these headphones allow them to work at there own pace and every student can start at the same time. \r\n\r\nFinally, your gift will be used for many years. The excellent quality and strength of these headphones will help ensure this gift keeps on giving. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your amazing gift of learning and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1758202912550,"projectUrl":"project/i-cant-hear-you-louderlouder/9405572/","projectTitle":"I Can't Hear You, Louder...Louder","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dixon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3750451_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507210554974","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3750451"},{"teacherId":6868037,"projectId":9239791,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to my project.

Now all our first grade level books can be housed in the library just like the other books in the library. Previously, we had to use boxes because we did not have enough book supports. The students like that they are treated the same as the older students now. They are learning how to find a book and also how to return a book properly to the shelf.\r\n\r\nStarting the students at an earlier age to have their books on a shelf instead of a box will help them become successful when they begin looking for books in other student \r\nsections where the books are not housed in boxes. \r\n\r\nDonors like you help my students become proficient using library materials.","fullyFundedDate":1745496347044,"projectUrl":"project/all-about-supporting-reading/9162540/","projectTitle":"All About Supporting Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6868037"},{"teacherId":9244260,"projectId":9030450,"letterContent":"While Im not able to do this as I intended due to \"The Very Hungry Catepillar\" being a spring lesson, I decided to make this activity into a fun Halloween lesson.

Your generous gifts has sparked a new love for Reading within my classroom. The students saw the gifts and immediately wanted to sit and read. You have contributed to teaching fluency and building confidence that was once lacking. My students has begun taking initiative, and has even scored higher on assessments. I have set up a cozy corner for our new library in my classroom, and look forward to seeing my students read chapter books.

It also is for students to understand the process of voting and the results of voting in our school and throughout the state. I shared the stories with the students and tried to always include some type of interactive process with the students. I received writing/drawing tablets from a previous Donors Choose funded project and the students love to use these after each book to explore characters and settings.\r\nEach book is read to a class and at the end of the book, the students vote for their favorite. These votes are compiled at our school and at the state level to see which book was the most enjoyable. It is delightful to see and hear the students being so excited by a new book.

We learned how to use the tablets first and then got down to the business of using them for writing and drawing activities. Using the stylus that arrived with the tablets, the students were given an activity to complete relating to a book that was read to them. The student activities so far have ranged from drawing their favorite character in the book, drawing and labeling the setting for the book, and listing the problems the characters encountered. I anticipate a myriad of activities in the future to complement their learning from our reading sessions.\r\nThe tablets are so easy to use. The students draw and write on them and at the end of the lesson, a touch of one button erases the work. The tablets are easily stored in a charging cart to be ready for the next lesson.","fullyFundedDate":1734367673813,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-creativity/8581538/","projectTitle":"Comfortable Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6868037"},{"teacherId":9244260,"projectId":8705911,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the books! While most of these books will not go into rotation until next year, we were able to use Pete the cat valentine book! Before recieving these books I was often having to look them up on YouTube and let it read the books aloud. This week in particular, the physical book came in handy as my classroom was being used for testing and I had to travel and be flexible. This would have been much more difficult with a technology based book. The kids enjoyed reading the book in person and being able to interact with the pages and ask more in depth questions. A few of them even asked to read the book themselves instead of me reading it! I think my students thoroughly enjoyed everything that physical books involve.

It has been so much more efficient being able to print right in my room instead of having to escort parents into the work room. Even the parents have commented on being able to complete the meetings in one confidential space. \r\nIn addition to making meetings easier, i have been able to print things for my students to work on such as worksheets and fun activities for them to work on along our speech lessons.
