This can be daunting due to the incredible amount of details we must learn in the course of a unit.

As my students build their muscles, they demonstrate self-control and good decision-making skills. Providing a chart to collect stickers is a great opportunity for them to keep track of how many times they were noticeably engaged, active, and working towards their learning objectives.

We are super excited to be able to give each player their own set of shin guards to wear under their socks during practices and games. Dress like a pro, act like a pro, play like a pro.

The bumpy seats have been the most popular new addition in our classroom, and my students love them! Whether it's during fun time or while working on school assignments, students rush to grab a bumpy seat for flexible seating. These seats let them wiggle a bit, stay comfortable, and help them pay attention, especially for those who have a hard time sitting still. It's great to see how much more focused everyone can be just by having this one simple choice available.\r\n\r\nTechnology has really changed the way my students learn. With the new printer, I can quickly make colorful anchor charts, fun activities, graphic organizers, and even print translations for students who are learning English. Headphones give students quiet time during tests, help when they're doing online lessons, or give them a break during academic choice time. Even if lots of our donors use tech at home, it's great to see how things like printers and headphones make learning easier, clearer, and more fun for all of my students in the classroom.\r\n\r\nSome students really connect with the donations. The bumpy seats are the first choice for kids who focus better when they move, and headphones help students who get distracted easily or want a quiet space. It's awesome to see students be themselves, learn in their own way, and show pride in what they do. I'm so grateful to our donors for making all this possible. Your support really means a lot to my students and I.","fullyFundedDate":1743092371936,"projectUrl":"project/engage-focus-achieve-transforming-our/9150148/","projectTitle":"Engage, Focus, Achieve: Transforming Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fung","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9938528_orig.png?crop=685,685,x143,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741472579081","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9938528"},{"teacherId":2114240,"projectId":9615446,"letterContent":"It's been a few weeks since the classroom printer and ink that you helped provide for my class arrived, and it has been an absolute game-changer. \r\nOur classroom is a more colorful place with customized anchor charts and posters - having this amazing technology at my fingertips has made this year's iteration of my classroom a more colorful and inclusive-feeling space.
