We recently received the materials funded through our DonorsChoose project, and I can't tell you how meaningful your contribution has been for my students and me. \r\n\r\nWe've already started putting the resources to work. For example, we started our unit on government and democracy recently. The materials have been vital to all my students, but especially those with disabilities. Using the voting paddles and reading tools have created instant engagement and understanding of complex topics. It's been incredible to watch them collaborate, problem-solve, and take ownership of their learning in a new way.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly opened doors for my students — not just to new supplies, but to deeper learning experiences that will stay with them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758830181005,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-learning-reimagined/9646461/","projectTitle":"Classroom Learning Reimagined!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fonzi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8518478_orig.jpg?crop=2308,2308,x715,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657581585535","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8518478"},{"teacherId":8518478,"projectId":9299066,"letterContent":"Visiting each student at their home the night before promotion to drop off a book is truly one of the best experiences of the school year. It intertwines literacy, support, and love. \r\n\r\nThis year students were shocked, excited, and emotional when their teacher showed up at their front door! Parents helped by keeping this a surprise and being equally as excited for their children. \r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it is a very humbling experience. Each day students show up to school to learn, but there is so much as teachers we don't see. Fostering family-school relationships is one of the most invaluable practices I want to encourage in my elementary school. Thank you so much for your incredible donations that allowed this to happen. You are helping to connect communities and bring joy to sweet preteen students.","fullyFundedDate":1746486606487,"projectUrl":"project/oh-the-places-youll-go-after-graduation/9299066/","projectTitle":"Oh the Places You'll Go After Graduation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fonzi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8518478_orig.jpg?crop=2308,2308,x715,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657581585535","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8518478"},{"teacherId":8518478,"projectId":8500433,"letterContent":"This school year my students absolutely love sports, soccer being their favorite! I now have a library that can supplement their interests and their love for reading has soared! Many of the new books have math concepts in them, specifically how to work with statistics, find a player's scoring average, and solve complicated word problems. \r\n\r\nSome of the other novels donated had real life stories tailored to preteens and teenagers, which my students connected with. These books also offered practical solutions for many of life's problems modeling positive examples to my students. Several of my more shy students particularly enjoyed these stories and opportunities for relatability. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generous donations, students are engaged and excited about reading! You are helping turn students into lifelong readers!","fullyFundedDate":1728312613496,"projectUrl":"project/sixth-grade-book-drive/8500433/","projectTitle":"Sixth Grade Book Drive!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fonzi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8518478_orig.jpg?crop=2308,2308,x715,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657581585535","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8518478"},{"teacherId":9256089,"projectId":9173834,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting us to get baby dolls for our preschool. We have introduced the babies to our students and given them each a name (Mia, Roma, Dina, and Koa). The students love the babies and have been so curious about them. \r\n\r\nThey are placed in a part of our play area that has a baby high chair, bottles, a bed, and blankets. The students pretend play with them during our Exploration Play. We talk with them about how to take care of them in the way that they hold them and move them around to feed them or put them to bed. They use gentle and caring hands. \r\n\r\nHaving the baby dolls as a part of our classroom community helps and will continue to help us practice nurturing care for others.

Our reading and math programs that we use daily require listening on the computer. With these headphones, my students are more likely to focus on their work without distracting others. Their ears are now in comfortable cushioned headphones, rather than the plastic, barely foam, ear buds that they used to have. Once they saw the headphones, they were so excited to get to listening to their favorite audiobooks!\r\n\r\nThis year my focus with these students were to encourage them to read more engaging stories. I introduced audiobooks to them in hopes that might get to them to fall in love with a series. Some students can get intimidated when there are too many words on the page. But audiobooks allow my students to enjoy a story without the stresses of printed text. The headphones just add a special feeling of listening to a good book without the worries of the sound going in and out. \r\n\r\nThe headphones not only allow the students to focus independently, they allow myself to teach students in smaller groups. Because everyone is focused, I am able to support the learning of a number of students at a time without the classroom being too loud!","fullyFundedDate":1731541227717,"projectUrl":"project/listen-up-we-need-headphones/8507824/","projectTitle":"Listen Up!
