My students have used the materials you provided in many projects so far this year. A main goal in my classroom is to encourage writing. They have used the markers to create illustrations that bring their stories to life. I also used the funds from tpt to get activities that inspired the students to write creative stories.\r\n\r\nIn addition to using the materials for language arts, the students used them in their math projects. They have learned regrouping and multiplication while creating math crafts. They have also used the headphones when completing Reflex challenges and I ready lessons.\r\n\r\nFinally, the materials will be used during our market day event later in the year. Students will be involved in an economic unit where they will learn about consumers, producers and budgets while \"selling\" crafts that they have made to family and friends.","fullyFundedDate":1755796819990,"projectUrl":"project/enriching-endeavors/9419018/","projectTitle":"Enriching Endeavors","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Orwat","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1554403"},{"teacherId":7170711,"projectId":9444220,"letterContent":"Your Teachers Pay Teachers gift card donation has made a tremendous impact on our co-taught second grade classroom.

These tools have helped us provide targeted small-group instruction, reinforce foundational skills, and offer engaging practice that supports both emerging and developing readers.\r\n\r\nThe donation has also strengthened our ability to co-teach effectively. Having quality materials readily available means we can plan more intentionally, support diverse learning needs, and ensure that every student receives the level of instruction and practice they deserve.

With two teachers supporting a wide range of learners, noise can build quickly—especially during small-group rotations, independent work, and centers. Headphones help reduce overwhelming background sound, allowing students who are easily distracted or sensitive to noise to stay engaged and feel more comfortable. This simple tool has helped increase stamina for independent reading, online programs, and writing tasks, because students are better able to concentrate on their own work.\r\n\r\nThey have also supported smoother co-teaching routines by making it easier for both teachers to run simultaneous activities without competing for students' attention. Headphones give students a clear auditory boundary, which helps them understand when it's time to work quietly and independently. They've also reduced behavior disruptions caused by noise sensitivity or overstimulation, allowing more time for meaningful instruction and collaboration. Overall, headphones have strengthened both student learning and classroom management, making co-teaching more effective and inclusive.","fullyFundedDate":1759186648335,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-tune-in-to-success/9444189/","projectTitle":"Help Students Tune In to Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ayon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7170711"},{"teacherId":5499690,"projectId":9257256,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom project!

These barriers help contain the pucks, allowing students to focus more on the game and less on retrieving stray equipment. Additionally, they've been utilized as obstacles for jumping and agility drills, adding variety and excitement to our activities.
