The students use the pointers during phonics games to indicate their answer choices. The students and I have loved using our new materials! \r\n Being able to make learning as engaging as possible helps my students to better access instruction. The students are eager to participate in lessons, and they are having fun while learning. \r\n I can't thank you enough for your generosity and support!

In library specials class, we have a class set of iPads with several subscription and learning apps that we utilize to meet students of all learning levels. Previously, we have had a handful of headphones that may not be fully functional.\r\n\r\nThe students have been enjoying using our new, shiny, working headphones! So far we have been able to use them for research apps, such as PebbleGo and Capstone, as well as for audiobooks to practice reading on grade-level. In one of our English Language Development groups, students were able to individualize their learning by selecting their own nonfiction audiobook to research an animal. From there, they were able to create a graphic organizer presenting the information they learned.\r\n\r\nAnother group that has shown a great appreciation for the new resource was our third and fourth graders. Currently we are learning about digital citizenship. With these two grade-levels, the students are practicing what they are learning by solving clues on a website called BreakoutEDU. They are able to utilize the immersive reader tool by using the headphones! They are having so much fun while being able to individualize their support needed.","fullyFundedDate":1758546541091,"projectUrl":"project/tuning-in-headphones-for-individualize/9663089/","projectTitle":"Tuning In - Headphones for Individualized Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Laney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9814686_orig.jpg?crop=899,899,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731594114631","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9814686"},{"teacherId":9092278,"projectId":9081317,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project. Our students have used the resources to perform at school assemblies. They have been \"the hit of the assemblies!\" You can hear a pin drop when they perform. They are so proud to be able to share their culture and traditions with the other students and staff members. Some parents have come to watch their children perform and others have reached out on our school Facebook page to support the students. \r\n When the students first saw the materials unpacked in the classroom, they cheered and clapped with great enthusiasm. They couldn't believe it! At every practice, they want to know when they get to perform again.\r\n Other students at the school have really taken an interest in the group. Our school is planning a \"club day\" for students to participate in different activities. We are trying to incorporate the \"stomp/hula\" team into that event. \r\n Again, I am very grateful for your kindness and generosity.

They have LOVED playing these new games!\r\n\r\nEach week when the students come to library specials and see MakerSpace stations, they get excited. But since receiving the new games from this project, they get even MORE excited! As a class we learn the new game and then take turns playing. They have particularly loved Battleship, Connect Four, Guess Who, and Close the Box. The others that were donated are planned to be learned and played soon in the next couple of weeks!\r\n\r\nWith snow days and other events, we haven't learned all of the games yet, but we have plans to roll them out in the next few MakerSpace rotations. Each of our newly learned games have become a new station during library specials. We are also hosting a board game club for our school-wide club day and students are so excited to have more time to play them! We are so thankful for everyone's generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1737080248947,"projectUrl":"project/unplugged-makerspace-having-fun-throug/9039450/","projectTitle":"Unplugged MakerSpace - Having Fun Through Board Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Laney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9814686_orig.jpg?crop=899,899,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731594114631","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9814686"},{"teacherId":9092278,"projectId":8755151,"letterContent":"The staff and students are very excited to have the mobile magnetic white boards!

The students have been eager to interact with the magnetic boards, as well. \r\n An unexpected positive experience was when one of our 5th grade students saw the big boxes, asked what was in them, and then begged to help put the white boards together. This student is extremely mechanically minded. He looked at the instructions for about 10 seconds, said, \"Got it!... then put it together. We used this opportunity to talk about engineering and other career possibilities that he could pursue. \r\n Your generosity has made it possible for teachers to provide the best instruction possible no matter where they are in the building.
