But thanks to your generosity, that's starting to change. The new books in our classroom have made independent reading time something they actually look forward to. Having stories that match their interests and reading levels has helped build confidence and curiosity in ways I hadn't seen before.\r\n\r\nNow, instead of sighs when it's time to read, I hear, \"Can I keep going?\" During independent reading, students are more focused and excited to find books that fit them—stories about kids like them, graphic novels they can actually follow, and series that make them want to know what's coming next.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just fill our shelves—you helped my students see that they can be readers. Thank you for giving them the confidence and joy to keep trying, one page at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1760284268282,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-library-of-possibilities/9755271/","projectTitle":"Building a Library of Possibilities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiffany Rouse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4672142_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503168151200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tiffany-rouse"},{"teacherId":4672142,"projectId":9689804,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my project! The new small group table and stools have already made a meaningful difference in our classroom. Having this space allows me to work more closely with students in small groups, giving them focused attention and support in a comfortable setting. The stools make it easy for students to gather quickly, and the table encourages collaboration and sharing of ideas.\r\n\r\nMy students are so excited to have a dedicated area where they can learn together, ask questions, and build confidence in a smaller, more personal setting. This new space not only helps with academics but also strengthens our classroom community by promoting teamwork and communication.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your kindness and for believing in the importance of creating a supportive learning environment.

Your kindness has given my students something truly special to look forward to during indoor recess, and the joy it has already brought to them is immeasurable.\r\n\r\nIndoor recess can sometimes be a challenge for students, especially when they have lots of energy and limited space to move around. Thanks to your support, what was once a time that felt restrictive has been transformed into a fun, engaging, and positive experience. The board games you provided give my students the chance to laugh, learn, and grow together. They are developing teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills all while enjoying themselves. It's incredible to watch them strategize, celebrate small wins, and even learn how to handle friendly competition in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\nBeyond the games themselves, your donation has helped foster a stronger sense of classroom community. Students who may not usually interact with one another are finding common ground as they play. I've seen shy students open up and new friendships begin. The atmosphere in the classroom during indoor recess is one of excitement and togetherness, and that is a direct result of your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1750256224859,"projectUrl":"project/from-bored-to-board-games/9353224/","projectTitle":"From Bored to Board Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiffany Rouse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4672142_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503168151200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tiffany-rouse"},{"teacherId":4672142,"projectId":9337837,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of tennis balls for our classroom chairs. What may seem like a small gift has had an incredibly big impact on both the learning environment and the daily experience of my students.\r\n\r\nBefore we received your donation, the sound of chairs scraping against the floor was a constant distraction. It often interrupted lessons, made it difficult for students to focus, and sometimes even caused unnecessary stress for those who are sensitive to noise. Thanks to your kindness, our classroom is now much calmer and more peaceful. The tennis balls not only reduce noise, but they also make it easier for students to move their chairs smoothly and transition between activities with less disruption.\r\n\r\nBeyond the practical benefits, your donation sends a powerful message to my students: that people in our community care about their education and their success. When I shared with them that these resources were made possible because of thoughtful donors like you, they were excited and touched to know that others are rooting for them. It has given them a sense of pride in their classroom and a reminder that they are supported in their learning journey.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has transformed something ordinary—chairs—into a tool that helps create a more focused and welcoming learning space. I truly cannot thank you enough for your contribution and the difference it has made in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755052533624,"projectUrl":"project/serving-up-a-quieter-classroom/9337837/","projectTitle":"Serving Up a Quieter Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiffany Rouse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4672142_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503168151200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tiffany-rouse"},{"teacherId":4672142,"projectId":9145293,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have the tools they need to dive deeper into their learning with iReady and DreamBox. The headphones have truly transformed the way they experience these programs.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, technology is more than just a tool—it's how students receive personalized lessons that meet them right where they are. With the headphones, my students can clearly hear instructions, stories, and math explanations in iReady and DreamBox without the distractions of a busy classroom. This has allowed them to stay focused longer, work more independently, and get the most out of their intervention time.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for the students is being able to \"tune in\" to their own work. They love the feeling of being in their own little learning space, and several of them have mentioned how much easier it is to follow along now that they can hear everything so clearly.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students the chance to thrive and feel confident while working on important skills.
