We've been using the materials daily for both group and independent projects, allowing students to explore concepts with more creativity and confidence. The students know when they come in in the morning, they have the opportunity to engage with the materials and also make connections and build on their knowledge. Having access to high-quality tools and supplies meant that every student could participate fully, test their ideas, and see their designs come to life. The excitement and teamwork in the room were incredible!\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with curiosity and joy. Many of them couldn't wait to dive in and start experimenting right away. It was wonderful to watch their initial excitement turn into deep focus and collaboration as they discovered new ways to apply what we've been learning in class. These materials have not only enriched our lessons but have also helped build a stronger sense of ownership and pride in their work. Thanks to this project, my students are more engaged, more curious, and more confident learners.","fullyFundedDate":1755822485110,"projectUrl":"project/successful-second-grade/9506766/","projectTitle":"Successful Second Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Guzman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9709071_orig.png?crop=393,393,x46,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755823853574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9709071"},{"teacherId":9700410,"projectId":9325309,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous support of our classroom project! Because of you, my students now have access to resources that are already making a lasting impact on their learning experience.\r\nThe excitement in the room was electric when the materials first arrived. I wish you could have seen their faces eyes wide, voices buzzing with curiosity and joy. One student even asked, \"Is this really for us?\" That moment alone reminded me how powerful your contribution truly is.\r\nWe've already started using the map puzzle in our geography lessons, and it's quickly become a favorite. The hands-on nature of the puzzle has helped students better understand spatial relationships, state locations, and regional features in a way that textbooks just can't provide. One student said, \"I didn't know learning maps could be this fun!\"\r\nNext, students will be using the map puzzle as part of a group project where they'll research different regions of the United States and present their findings to the class. They'll use the puzzle to physically demonstrate key facts, helping their classmates make meaningful visual connections.\r\nThese materials have transformed not just what we teach, but how we teach. Students who were previously hesitant to participate are now jumping in with confidence and curiosity. It's opened doors for creativity, teamwork, and deeper understanding.\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and investing in these young learners.

Because of your contribution, our students are developing the skills that serve as the foundation for lifelong success — empathy, emotional regulation, problem-solving, and relationship-building. With the SEL tools you helped provide, such as emotion cards, calm-down kits, and storybooks on kindness and resilience, our classroom has become an even safer, more nurturing space where children can thrive socially and emotionally.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the math and literacy manipulatives — from counting cubes and pattern blocks to fine motor tools — have made learning tangible and accessible for all students. These resources are especially essential for children who benefit from hands-on, visual approaches, turning abstract concepts into meaningful, concrete learning experiences.\r\n\r\nBecause classroom budgets often fall short, these materials would not have been possible without your support. You have helped create a more engaging and supportive environment where students not only grow academically but also feel seen, supported, and successful.\r\n\r\nWe are proud to recognize your generosity in our classroom newsletter and on our donor appreciation wall as a reminder to our students that there are caring individuals like you who believe in them and their future.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a champion of early childhood education and for making such a lasting impact on our students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1746557974598,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-kindergarten-sel-hands-on-l/9296565/","projectTitle":"Supporting Kindergarten SEL & Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Poweriet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9709063_orig.png?crop=162,162,x0,y24&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732207433728","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9709063"},{"teacherId":9709063,"projectId":9296476,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generosity and support of my DonorsChoose project.

In classrooms, students often need to focus on individual tasks or listen to audio materials, but noise can be a major distraction. With the new headphones, students now have the ability to block out distractions and engage more fully with their lessons, whether they're working on interactive activities, listening to educational videos, or participating in virtual lessons. This has been especially valuable for students who need a quieter space to concentrate and for those who may have difficulty processing information in a noisy environment.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting features for our students is the high-quality sound and comfort of the headphones. Many of them have mentioned how much more engaged they are in listening exercises and online lessons. Whether they're learning a new language, listening to podcasts related to history, or watching videos that complement their reading, the improved audio experience makes these materials more engaging and helps them retain information better. The ability to hear clearly without distractions has really enhanced their focus and overall learning experience.\r\n\r\nCertain students have truly thrived with the addition of these headphones. For example, students who have auditory processing challenges or who struggle to focus in a busy classroom have found the headphones particularly helpful. One student who has difficulty in noisy settings can now focus deeply during reading and listening exercises. Another student who is shy about speaking in class has gained confidence in completing oral presentations or assignments, since the headphones allow them to rehearse privately without fear of distractions.\r\n\r\nOverall, the headphones have provided students with a tool that supports not only concentration but also their engagement with different types of learning media. The positive changes we've seen in their focus, participation, and confidence are a direct result of this generous support.
