I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of headphones to my classroom. Your support has profoundly impacted the learning experiences of my students, and I want to take a moment to share just how meaningful this gift has been.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students have been able to access audio materials on platforms like Common Lit, No Red Ink, and various other resources specifically designed to help them prepare for the ACT. With the headphones, my students can fully immerse themselves in the listening components of our lessons without distractions, helping them stay focused and engaged. This has been particularly beneficial for our English Learners (EL) and students receiving support from our special education programs, who often require additional scaffolding to access the curriculum effectively.\r\n\r\nThe ability to listen to content clearly has enabled all my students—regardless of their educational background—to better comprehend complex texts and practice their writing skills. For my EL students, the headphones have provided a crucial advantage by allowing them to hear the correct pronunciation of words and engage deeply with audio assignments. Similarly, students receiving special education services have found that they can better grasp concepts when they can listen attentively without background noise, thereby enhancing their learning outcomes.\r\n\r\nMoreover, even my general education students have noted the benefits of using the headphones. They report feeling more comfortable participating in discussions and activities, which has fostered a more inclusive and collaborative classroom environment. The headphones have not only facilitated their learning in English language arts but have also positively impacted their overall academic experiences across the curriculum.\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. Your support has made a tangible difference in the lives of my students, helping to create an equitable learning environment where everyone can thrive. We truly appreciate your commitment to education and the bright futures of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1761917257512,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-fs-literacy-launch-better-reade/9528891/","projectTitle":"\"Mrs. Fs.'

The new items have helped transform the room into an environment that supports focus, creativity, and collaboration. Students now use the space not just to sit and listen, but to actively participate, work together, and take ownership of their learning.\r\nWhen students first walked in and saw the changes, their reactions said it all. Many smiled, commented on how \"different\" and \"better\" the room felt, and immediately gravitated toward the updated areas. Several students shared that the space felt calmer and more inviting, which made it easier for them to concentrate and enjoy class. The positive atmosphere set the tone for learning before instruction even began.\r\nMoving forward, this improved learning environment will continue to support our daily lessons, group work, and independent activities. Students are more comfortable asking questions, engaging in discussions, and staying focused throughout the class period. Because of your support, the classroom is now a place where students feel welcomed, valued, and excited to show up each day. Thank you for helping create a space that truly supports student success.","fullyFundedDate":1764645146420,"projectUrl":"project/students-space/9904905/","projectTitle":"Students' Space","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tequila Trimble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9595013_orig.png?crop=767,767,x20,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721150608520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9595013"},{"teacherId":9595013,"projectId":9434550,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our classroom has truly transformed. Students are actively using the organizers, trays, and clips to sort, hang, and display their own work during stations and independent practice. One of my favorite moments was watching a student proudly clip up an assignment and say, \"I did this by myself—can I leave it up?\" That small action showed confidence, ownership, and pride in learning in a way I don't always get to see.\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions were immediate—smiles, excitement, and genuine curiosity. They noticed the organization, the fresh look of the room, and even the faux plants that brought warmth to their workspace. Several students shared that the classroom felt more \"put together\" and \"calm,\" which has helped them stay focused and motivated during lessons.\r\nMoving forward, students will continue using these resources during daily workstations, project-based learning, and reflection activities where they choose pieces they are most proud of to display. These materials are helping students take responsibility for their learning environment while building confidence and independence. Because of you, our classroom is not just a place to learn—it's a place where students feel valued, capable, and excited to grow.","fullyFundedDate":1758915198393,"projectUrl":"project/no-limits-equipping-my-students-for-suc/9434550/","projectTitle":"No Limits: Equipping My Students for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tequila Trimble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9595013_orig.png?crop=767,767,x20,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721150608520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9595013"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17539","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":444,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":82,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":44.4,"schoolId":17539,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bullock County High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bullock County High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/bullock-county-school-district/bullock-co-high-school/17539"}
