For many of our students, school is where they have the most consistent access to learning materials, and your kindness helps fill that gap.\r\n\r\nYour support sends a powerful message to our students—that their education matters and that people believe in their potential.

It means a lot to me as a teacher, who relies heavily on technology in daily lessons from videos incorporated into the lesson, to the power point shared on the smart board, to digital assignments given on google classroom, and more! One of the main reasons I asked for these headphones is because I give individual video assignments that ask the students questions as they watch the video. These are called EdPuzzles. This is a great way to provide supplemental material to students in a classroom filled with 25 students and allows them to engage with the material in a different way. Moreover, students love when they can plug in their headphones and do something independent for a minute. \r\n\r\nTherefore, I thank you for your donation that has helped my classroom run smoothly in daily functions!","fullyFundedDate":1766786396342,"projectUrl":"project/listen-up-headphones-for-classroom-use/9943258/","projectTitle":"Listen Up!: Headphones for Classroom Use!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9806522_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x226,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729110951783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9806522"},{"teacherId":8959837,"projectId":9716512,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing TI-84 calculators for our high school math classroom. Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful difference for students who often face barriers to accessing the tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving these calculators, many students were sharing devices, relying on outdated models, or attempting advanced math work without the proper technology. Now, every student can fully participate in lessons that require graphing, data analysis, and problem-solving—essential skills for success in Algebra, Geometry, and standardized testing.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been remarkable. Students who once hesitated to engage now approach complex tasks with confidence. Classroom discussions are more collaborative, practice is more efficient, and students are developing stronger analytical skills. For many, this is the first time they feel truly equipped for math courses that are gateways to college and STEM careers.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided calculators—it has expanded opportunities, increased equity, and shown our students that their education matters.

This significantly helps the classroom environment to remain learning focused, especially when many classrooms are filled with 20+ students. \r\n\r\nWhile these fidgets might seem like a small thing, they do add up for a teacher to continuously buy out of their own pocket.

Many of my students face daily challenges that extend far beyond the classroom, and having consistent access to basic supplies helps remove barriers that can interfere with their learning.\r\n\r\n The copy paper and cardstock have allowed us to create high-quality worksheets, graphic organizers, hands-on activities, and visual supports that make math more accessible and engaging. These materials help students stay organized, practice new skills, and build confidence through meaningful, well-designed learning tools.\r\n\r\n The donated pencils have been especially important. Many students come to school without writing utensils, often due to financial hardship. Having pencils available ensures that every student can participate fully in note-taking, problem-solving, tests, and collaborative group work. It eliminates stress, supports equity in the classroom, and allows us to focus on the math rather than the materials.\r\n\r\n The Kleenex may seem like a small item, but it matters greatly in a classroom with limited resources. It helps students manage everyday needs with dignity, reduces interruptions, and promotes a clean, comfortable learning environment—especially during cold and allergy season.\r\n\r\n Your generosity ensures that students have what they need to learn, succeed, and feel supported every day.
