Because of your kindness, our classroom is now equipped with essential tools that many students would not otherwise have access to. Simple items like pencils ensure every student is prepared and confident to participate each day, removing barriers to learning and allowing students to focus on growing academically.\r\n\r\nThe headphones and flexible seating options have transformed the way students engage with lessons. Headphones give students the opportunity to learn at their own pace, whether they are listening to instructional videos, practicing math skills, or receiving targeted support. Flexible seating and rolling desks allow students to choose learning spaces that best meet their needs, helping them stay focused, comfortable, and motivated while encouraging collaboration and independence.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly thankful for every donation—each item has helped create a classroom where students feel empowered, engaged, and ready to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1760724446555,"projectUrl":"project/geek-chic-supply-list/9476990/","projectTitle":"Geek Chic Supply List","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dunbar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9772788_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726970064776","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9772788"},{"teacherId":3415,"projectId":9214721,"letterContent":"Thank you so much, I can't begin to express my appreciation for your donations of materials to assist us in organizing out library media center.

When students come to check out books, and they ask for assistance, it is now very easy for the librarian to guide them to the correct area of the library. \r\n\r\nWhen our students noticed the new labels on the books, they were very excited and asked many questions about where they came from and how they should be used. When I explained that now students can put books back in their proper locations without any issues, they were ecstatic about being able to put books away correctly with the spines facing out and the NEW labels being seen.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your donations.","fullyFundedDate":1746786908939,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-label-our-library/9214721/","projectTitle":"Help Us Label Our Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3415_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534209446589","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sjhart"},{"teacherId":9366724,"projectId":9082714,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the document camera, Lakeshore Math Jenga, and fraction whiteboards! We have not started learning fractions on a number line yet, but they will definitely come in handy once we start in a couple of weeks! The students love playing Math Jenga to practice their multiplication facts. As for the document camera, I am using it EVERY DAY! It has been such a game changer in my classroom. My teaching practices have improved tremendously from using the document camera. Your generosity and support of education has made a huge difference for me and my students!

The resources that have come into the classroom have helped make instruction more engaging for my students. The kids are loving the multiplication flashcards to quiz each other during small group time! The small whiteboard has been WONDERFUL for small group rotations. I am able to place fractions tiles to represent a fraction for the group, write down problems to work along with them, and allow students the opportunity to 'lead' the group using the whiteboard. \r\n\r\nThe multiplication and division kits have been super helpful to catch some of my kiddos up in understanding how multiplication and division work. The ability to touch and feel what is happening makes the concept more concrete for them and in turn creates a deeper understanding. The posters have been placed all around the room for students to reference. This has been a hit for a lot of my students. We of course have a word wall and some anchor charts, but the visually appealing posters catch their eye easier and give them descriptors to reference the poster more effectively. The place value charts have been amazing for intervention with three-digit addition and subtraction! Thank you so much for your help in my classroom.
