This technology has helped many of my students by providing them a quiet classroom and also being able to use the headsets as they individually work on assignments such as Study Island, Lexia, Zearn, and as they work with sound for their coding projects.\r\n My students appreciate the headphones because they are able to learn by following their story at their own pace while being able to block out sound that would distract them from learning.\r\n Once again, Thank you for the help on making my classroom more accessible.","fullyFundedDate":1763653689941,"projectUrl":"project/headsets-for-steam/9488776/","projectTitle":"Headsets for Steam","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Campos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10088010"},{"teacherId":10055696,"projectId":9738979,"letterContent":"The bookshelf from this project has gave my TK students a boost with literacy engagement. Before books were just stored in a basket near our library area and students showed no interest in books. Now that books are easily accessible and I can rotate Books constantly,students are eager to sit in the library and explore books.\r\nMy students were extremely excited to see different books displayed in our new bookshelf and are constantly choosing to explore with literacy activities.\r\nI will continue to seek ways to help enhance literacy exploration in my class by providing meaningful lessons to promote literacy engagement with activities, opportunities, and more projects that actively support literacy.","fullyFundedDate":1761081866154,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-literacy/9738979/","projectTitle":"Hands on Literacy!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10055696_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753113076882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10055696"},{"teacherId":6075794,"projectId":9422291,"letterContent":"I want to express how grateful we are to have our project funded.

They can fit all of their books and folders in the sacks. The time it is saving by not having to hand all of those things out is tremendous.\r\n\r\nAgain thank you so much for your support.

Instead of unstructured play, students are organizing games, creating fair teams, rotating positions, and encouraging one another to participate. I've seen students step up as leaders by helping resolve small disagreements, reminding peers of the rules, and making sure everyone gets a turn, all during what used to be a less structured part of the day.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new volleyball equipment, they were incredibly excited and couldn't wait to start playing. Many students who typically struggle to find an activity during recess now feel more included and confident because they have a fun, organized option to participate in. It has been especially rewarding to see students who are usually quiet in class take on leadership roles on the court, communicating with teammates and showing strong sportsmanship.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are continuing to reinforce expectations around respectful play, cooperation, and conflict resolution during recess games. These experiences are helping students practice real-life leadership and community-building skills in an authentic setting. Thank you for supporting our students and helping turn recess into a time where they can grow not only physically, but also socially and emotionally. Your generosity is truly making a difference in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1758636709875,"projectUrl":"project/building-leaders-through-volleyball/9576053/","projectTitle":"Building Leaders Through Volleyball","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ceballos Madrigal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7074734_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1629730984011","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7074734"},{"teacherId":7683723,"projectId":9128431,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kind generosity!
