My students have been thriving with your support! My students use a program called Accelerated Reader to track their reading and comprehension. Students have three goals they must achieve each quarter related to how many books they read, how well they understood the book they read, and if they are reading books that challenge them enough to grow as readers. In previous years, only half of my class would reach all 3 goals. Because your kindness and generosity gave them access to books they enjoy at levels challenging for them, 20 out of my 25 students met their goals this past quarter. They are enjoying the books they are reading, and many of them are becoming lifelong readers. Thank you for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1744205207792,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-blossoming-readers/9223481/","projectTitle":"Books for Blossoming Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alexander","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9099371_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690243614896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9099371"},{"teacherId":481525,"projectId":9910779,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to and helping to get \"Going Once ...

A lot of them have been saving their Dojo points to spend once they found out all the potential prizes they could win thanks to the Palo Verde Wishes for Teachers that helped with this project's funding. All my students have been working hard to complete their work as well as studying their skills to be either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place winner in our daily Blooket review games. \r\n\r\nThanks to the Palo Verde Wishes for Teachers as well as DonorsChoose, my students have had a lot of prizes to look forward to that normally they would not have.

Headphones are vital for testing and independent practice. Without them, the classroom can be too noisy for students to focus and progress through the curriculum. We are thrilled to be able to use them for testing this spring, as this will be my student's first standardized assessment. \r\nOne way my students have enjoyed their headphones is by listening to audiobooks. Some of my students are struggling readers, and they use a program called Epic to improve. They can listen to an audiobook with the words on the page highlighted to get extra support. My students have loved this activity immensely.","fullyFundedDate":1763561366083,"projectUrl":"project/stem-superstars/9892979/","projectTitle":"STEM Superstars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alexander","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9099371_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690243614896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9099371"},{"teacherId":9099371,"projectId":9127953,"letterContent":"Thank you for choosing my classroom to support! Resources like printer ink, paper, and pencils can be used up very quickly in a 4th grade classroom. Your generosity made it possible for me to educate my students while decreasing their overall screen time. We have been able to make wonderful projects to supplement their learning. For example, we have completed projects exploring the butterfly life cycle, how to build wind-proof houses, and biographical research projects about influential Black leaders for Black History Month.

While many people use printers at home, having reliable technology directly inside our classroom allows us to respond immediately to student needs. I can quickly print differentiated assignments, graphic organizers, reading passages, and intervention materials without losing valuable instructional time. This helps me meet students exactly where they are and keep lessons moving smoothly.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is seeing their hard work come to life. They love receiving freshly printed AR certificates, colorful project pages, and personalized learning materials with their names on them. It makes their achievements feel official and celebrated.\r\n\r\nSome of my struggling readers have especially benefited. Being able to print modified passages with larger text, highlighted vocabulary, or extra support has helped build their confidence. I've seen students who once hesitated to participate now feel more prepared and willing to try. Your support has not just provided a printer it has helped create opportunities for success, pride, and growth in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1764694934904,"projectUrl":"project/powering-learning-with-a-classroom-print/9905547/","projectTitle":"Powering Learning With a Classroom Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Diaz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8985486"},{"teacherId":8985486,"projectId":9878477,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our new reading rewards have already made a big impact in our classroom! We are using the incentives to celebrate students who meet their Accelerated Reader goals and show growth in comprehension. Recently, one of my students proudly reached a personal reading milestone and was able to choose a reward. The entire class cheered it was such a powerful moment of encouragement and community.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up with excitement. They immediately started talking about the books they were going to read and the goals they wanted to reach. The rewards have created a renewed sense of motivation and friendly competition that keeps them engaged and focused.\r\n\r\nNext, we are continuing to set individual reading goals and track progress as a class. Students are working on strengthening comprehension skills, increasing reading stamina, and exploring new genres. We're also incorporating small celebrations for growth, not just high scores, so every student feels successful.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students the encouragement they need to keep turning pages and believing in themselves.

Some were looking forward to it, but most were hesitant because of their lack of experience. They were shown examples of how to somersault and how then they were shown how to cartwheel and they each had an opportunity to try it alone or with my help. \r\nI loved doing this with my students because it was an opportunity for them to push past their fears and nervousness. I also noticed that the students with more experience were offering words of encouragement and as well as offering to show examples and give pointers on how to do the movements without my prompting.

We played a life sized game of air hockey with the students being the mallets; while they used a pool noodle to move the ball and a classmate was the one in control of their movements. The object of the game was to communicate with their team to get the ball in their goal. \r\nI loved doing this activity because it was a type of game that all students wanted to play regardless of if they are the type of student who usually is hesitant to participate. The students also were forced to communicate with others in order to score and it allowed for them to come out of their shell and speak with their classmates when maybe they would've been silent.","fullyFundedDate":1755700089984,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-fitness/9455036/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into Fitness","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Curradi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9633877"},{"teacherId":9633877,"projectId":9455043,"letterContent":"When my students walked into the class and saw the pins set up they went absolutely wild. A majority of my students have never been bowling before so they were super excited for the bowling lesson to begin. When I had to explain how to hold the bowling ball and how to actually perform the motions of bowling I was pleasantly surprised to see that almost all of my students were actively listening to my instructions and directions. \r\n\r\nEach of the students were put into groups of students that got to bowl and half would reset the pins after each turn. What I loved was that my students were supporting each other when it wasn't their turn to bowl. It was very clear that some of the students who have never bowled because of their \"performance\" when it was their turn; and the classmates would give them positive reinforcement. It was so pleasing to see a community of togetherness and positivity in the classroom without having to foster it on my own.","fullyFundedDate":1755700089885,"projectUrl":"project/striking-fun-and-fitness/9455043/","projectTitle":"Striking Fun and Fitness","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Curradi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9633877"},{"teacherId":9633877,"projectId":9452530,"letterContent":"My students were completely excited to use these resources!
