Your support has already made a meaningful difference in the daily learning experience of my 3rd graders, and I'm excited to share how these materials are being used.\r\n\r\nThe snacks and candy have become a huge motivator for students through our Class Dojo points system. Students earn points for meeting classroom expectations, showing kindness, staying focused, and demonstrating responsibility.

We use the art supplies for creative projects that encourage students to express their ideas and demonstrate their learning. The disinfecting wipes and sanitizing supplies also help us maintain a clean classroom. Having snacks available helps support students who may need a little extra nourishment during the school day.

With our new color printer, I'm able to print vibrant STEAM unit overviews to display on our bulletin board. Right now, we are learning about weather and climate, and having clear, colorful visuals helps my students understand complex ideas and stay engaged. I can also print their research pages, graphic organizers, and writing supports in color, which makes the information easier for them to follow and much more exciting to interact with. Before this project, many students would ask why their pages were only black and white and why certain diagrams were hard to see — now they can finally visualize what they're learning.\r\n\r\nThe new headphones have also made a huge impact. My students use technology daily during centers, especially for reading activities, read‑alouds, and end‑of‑year state testing. Having reliable headphones helps them concentrate, stay focused, and work independently without distractions. For the past three years, we relied on hand‑me‑down headphones, and many were breaking due to worn‑out wires. I was running low, and students often had to share or wait their turn. When I told them we received a donation, they were genuinely excited — they couldn't wait to use their new headphones and have their own working pair.\r\n\r\nBoth the printer and headphones have become essential tools for creating a calm, focused, and supportive learning environment. These resources help my students access lessons more clearly, stay engaged, and feel confident in their work. Your generosity has truly strengthened the quality of learning in our classroom, and my students feel proud, capable, and excited every day.","fullyFundedDate":1783657330117,"projectUrl":"project/clear-sound-bright-prints-and-confiden/10268214/","projectTitle":"Clear Sound, Bright Prints, and Confident Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9433357_orig.png?crop=1146,1146,x0,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1787197983018","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9433357"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7614","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":696,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.5,"schoolId":7614,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about 95th Street Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"95th Street Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/95th-street-elementary-school/7614"}
