My students were so excited to see all the resources that we will be able to use this school year to help them with their learning. And these resouces will be used throughout the whole school year and for years to come. \r\n\r\nMy students will use the headphones daily to focus on computer software that helps them discover what they are missing in reading and math skills. Some of my students are missing number value and symbol identification. The clay dough number math mats will give them a way to start making that connection. The wonderful math numberline will give my students the hands-on pracatice they need to grow their addition and subtraction skills. \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generous gift!","fullyFundedDate":1740844029234,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-s/9130915/","projectTitle":"Mrs. S","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9931498"},{"teacherId":8362712,"projectId":9127102,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping my students be ready for our state testing. Last year's students practiced being responsible with their mice and were able to use them on the state test. Their responsibility was to keep their mice safe and use it appropriately. As I expected, they were able to do this and now I have the ability to use the mice again this year. This year's students already are using them and have done an excellent job at using them responsibility. As a result, they will also be able to use their mice on the state tests and hopefully, for many of my classes to come. \r\n\r\nThe headphones could not be reused for sanitary reasons. but those who needed them last year, appreciated having headphones when they wouldn't have otherwise. I had plenty left over for students to use this year as well\r\n\r\nI absolutely, from the bottom of my heart, appreciate everything you have done to support my students. Without donors like you. the financial burden would have fallen on me or they would have done without.","fullyFundedDate":1740370912847,"projectUrl":"project/state-testing-ready/9127102/","projectTitle":"State Testing Ready","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schoppenhorst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8362712_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y293&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647483161028","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8362712"},{"teacherId":7122934,"projectId":9098330,"letterContent":"Our headphones mice have been incredible in our classroom.
