Our class was so excited to have access to fun resources to help us with the last months of the school year. We were able to share the engaging resources with other classes as well. One project that we purchased because of your gift card was to build our own cities to apply our knowledge of volume. The fifth graders were so excited to put their knowledge of volume of rectangular prisms in action by collaborating with their peers to create their own perfect city. This one-week project turned into two weeks because the students had so much fun building and learning!\r\n\r\nSince we are wrapping up our school year, we also used the gift card for some fun end-of-year activities. This includes review games and craft projects. One project that we are looking forward to completing is designing our own graduation cap and reflecting on our school year.

The foot swings and floor bikes allow them to move quietly while continuing to participate in lessons. Instead of struggling to sit still, they are now able to concentrate longer, complete their work, and feel successful. The flexible seat donuts and floor tables have created cozy, inviting spaces where students feel safe, comfortable, and ready to learn. I have already seen an increase in on-task behavior, stronger work stamina, and more positive peer collaboration.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation shows my students that people believe in them.

Their absolute favorite has quickly become Squishy Land. They love the colorful pieces, the playful theme, and the way it turns learning into a game they can't wait to play. I've seen even my most reluctant learners light up with excitement and stay focused longer because they are so eager to participate.\r\n\r\nThese games are helping my students strengthen important skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, turn-taking, and academic concepts in a hands-on way.

They were eager to try them and loved having the option to stand instead of sitting all day. Several students even shared that it helped them feel more focused and comfortable while working.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, the next steps for our students include using the standing tables during reading centers, writing workshops, and project-based learning activities.

By blocking out classroom noise and distractions, students are better able to concentrate on lessons, videos, or independent work. This is especially helpful during testing, small-group instruction, or when multiple activities are happening at once.\r\n\r\nSecond, headphones support individualized learning. Students can listen to directions, read-alouds, or instructional videos at their own pace and volume. This benefits English language learners, struggling readers, and students who need repetition, while also allowing advanced learners to work independently without disrupting others.\r\n\r\nOverall, headphones help create a calmer learning environment, increase student independence, and make instruction more accessible for different learning needs.","fullyFundedDate":1764719914356,"projectUrl":"project/listen-while-you-learn/9767637/","projectTitle":"Listen While You Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6695009"},{"teacherId":5642822,"projectId":9766801,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation.

The planners have become part of our morning routine. Students write down goals, homework, and upcoming assessments, and many of them proudly decorate their pages to make the process their own. The calendars have helped us create a shared class schedule, allowing students to see important dates, unit deadlines, and classroom celebrations all in one place.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was the first day the materials arrived. The students' eyes lit up when they realized each of them would have their own planner. Several students immediately flipped through the pages, pointing out features they were excited to use, while others asked if they could start filling in dates right away. For many, it was the first time they had a personal organizational tool not just for school, but for their everyday lives.\r\n\r\nA recent project that truly showcased the impact was our \"Monthly Goals Challenge.\" Students used their planners and the class calendar to set academic and personal goals for November. They tracked progress each week, and the cart made it easy to access everything quickly as they moved into small-group work. I saw students taking more ownership of their learning, helping each other plan, and celebrating small achievements along the way.\r\n\r\nNext, we're using the planners to support our upcoming unit on study skills and time management. Students will learn how to break larger assignments into smaller steps, set deadlines, and reflect on their progress. These resources will continue to support them throughout the year and build habits that go far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a meaningful difference. Your contribution didn't just provide supplies, it gave my students tools to stay motivated, accountable, and proud of their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1758899035602,"projectUrl":"project/managing-school/9703812/","projectTitle":"Managing School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6695009"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_350","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":364,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"7.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.3,"schoolId":350,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 7 Milton Fein School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 7 Milton Fein School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-7-kingsbridge/350"}
