The headphones help students stay focused during independent learning and technology activities, the cushions provide comfortable seating that helps students remain engaged, and the clipboards make it easy for students to work throughout the classroom.

Because of your support, we received thirty‑three subject notebooks and additional single‑subject notebooks. My students last year used these notebooks every day, and I know my upcoming fourth graders will enjoy them just as much.\r\n\r\nWe are already using the new notebooks as part of our daily writing routines and science investigations. One moment that stood out was during a recent classroom project where students were creating \"All About Me\" journals for the first week of school. They were excited to have brand‑new notebooks of their own, and several students commented on how \"grown‑up\" and \"official\" they felt writing in them. It was a small moment, but it showed how something simple can make students feel proud and motivated.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their reactions were priceless. They were surprised, grateful, and immediately started flipping through the pages, imagining what they would write and create. A few students even asked if they could take their notebooks home to show their families. Their excitement reminded me how important it is for students to have tools that make learning feel special.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, our next steps include using these notebooks for our science unit on energy, daily reading responses, and long‑form writing assignments. These notebooks will help students stay organized, build strong writing habits, and take ownership of their learning throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my classroom. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference, and my students and I are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1765236449512,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success/9409153/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Siegel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9491396_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718893837173","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9491396"},{"teacherId":9621539,"projectId":9686128,"letterContent":"Thank you to all the donors who funded our project, \"Help Our 1st Grade Classroom Succeed!\" We truly appreciate your generous donations of equipment and tools that help ensure classroom engagement, motivate students to learn, and support their academic success.\r\nWith the Unitek USB Charging Dock, we are able to charge multiple iPads daily so students can work on all of the applications for our reading and math curriculum without long wait times. Having a sufficient number of chargers available allows all students to access their learning applications consistently. It has also made classroom management much easier because the teacher can conveniently charge the devices in the classroom instead of going to another classroom, which was hectic at times.\r\nThe students are very happy to receive the HeavyDuty Clear File Folders with Pockets to store their daily homework. The folders are durable and last throughout the entire school year. Students are thankful for the sturdy folders and often share how happy they are that the folders do not rip easily like the ones they had at the beginning of the school year.\r\nThank you so much for the Rechargeable Wireless Microphone System. The students are excited every day to use the microphones during presentations. They enjoy sharing their ideas and thoughts without having to repeat themselves because everyone can hear them clearly. The shy students especially feel more confident participating because they know their voices can be heard even when speaking softly. Student motivation and engagement have increased as a result of using the microphones.\r\nThe Presentation Clicker PowerPoint Wireless Presenter Remote allows me to move through presentation slides without having to walk back to the smart board while checking students' understanding and monitoring their work around the classroom.\r\nThe Portable Voice Amplifier with Wired Microphone Headset has helped me avoid losing my voice by the end of the day. Students are also better able to focus on lessons because they can hear instruction clearly, especially those seated farther from the front of the classroom.\r\nThank you for the Kids Headphones, which allow students to work on their iPads without hearing multiple lessons at the same time. Students are able to work in small groups while using the headphones and focus on their own personalized lessons for i-Ready Math and Boost Reading.\r\nThank you again for all of your support. A special thank you to The Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation for making this project possible to accomplish. We are truly grateful for all of the wonderful items donated to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1763684573887,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-1st-grade-classroom-succeed/9686128/","projectTitle":"Help Our 1st Grade Classroom Succeed!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Do","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9621539"},{"teacherId":9840155,"projectId":9623263,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project. We've already begun using the new resources, and they've brought so much joy to our classroom. One of our favorite moments so far happened during our small group phonics lesson. Students rotated through stations using the new phonics games to practice short-vowel sounds, and at one station, two students excitedly matched word cards to pictures and then proudly read their completed sets aloud to the group. It was one of those moments where you could see their confidence growing in real time.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their faces absolutely lit up. They immediately wanted to touch everything- testing out the pencil grips, sorting through the word cards, and asking when they could start using the pocket chart stand. They are truly happy and excited to use these during center time. \r\nWe are now working on building stronger decoding skills and expanding our sight word knowledge. The adjustable pocket chart has helped with students taking turns coming up to build simple sentences, sort word families, and practice new sight words. Our next step is to use these materials to help students write their own short sentences to help them connect their growing reading skills to their writing.\r\nOnce again, my students and I thank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1764734565437,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-one-word-at-a-t/9623263/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers, One Word At A Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Avila","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9840155_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753147084356","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9840155"},{"teacherId":9491396,"projectId":9600834,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom!

The flexible seating mats give my fourth graders the freedom to choose comfortable learning spaces, encouraging focus and collaboration.
