The class set of headphones has made a huge difference during i-Ready time, allowing students to focus on their personalized reading and math lessons without distractions. They are able to hear instructions clearly, work independently, and stay engaged in their learning. The writing tablets have been a game-changer in small group instruction. Students are eager to write, erase, and try again, which has made phonics practice and sentence building feel fun instead of intimidating. During math time, the math cubes come out for hands-on games where students build numbers, model addition and subtraction, and work together to solve problems. On Fun Fridays, the puzzles have become a favorite choice, encouraging teamwork, problem-solving, and calm, joyful moments at the end of the week.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions were priceless. There were gasps, big smiles, and lots of \"Are these really for us?\" The headphones made them feel so grown-up, the writing tablets were immediately grabbed with excitement, and the math cubes turned math time into something they couldn't wait for. Even students who are usually hesitant to participate jumped right in.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our next steps are even more exciting. We are currently working on building complete sentences and explaining our thinking in math. With these resources, students will continue rotating through small groups where they practice writing, listening, and hands-on math skills at their own pace. These tools are helping them build independence, confidence, and a love for learning—and that is something they will carry with them far beyond first grade. Thank you for giving my students such meaningful opportunities to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1758915660346,"projectUrl":"project/ms-alvarados-classroom-project/9572882/","projectTitle":"Ms. Alvarado's Classroom Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alvarado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10167927"},{"teacherId":6358133,"projectId":9797546,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project. Because of you, our school now has radios that have greatly improved communication among all school employees, helping us better support students throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWhile many people use technology at home, school communication tools serve a different and very important purpose. The radios allow staff to communicate quickly and clearly in real time, which helps us respond promptly to student needs, coordinate support, and maintain a safe, well-organized learning environment. When adults can communicate efficiently, students benefit from smoother transitions, fewer disruptions, and more time focused on learning.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part of this new technology for our staff and students is the immediate connection it provides. Whether it's calling for assistance, sharing important information, or coordinating during busy times like arrival, recess, or dismissal, the radios make everyone feel more connected and supported. Students have noticed how quickly adults can help and how calmly situations are handled, which gives them a stronger sense of security at school.\r\n\r\nCertain students have especially benefited from this improved communication. Students who need additional support—whether for medical, behavioral, or social-emotional needs—are receiving help more quickly and consistently. Knowing that adults can communicate instantly has helped these students feel safer and more confident, and it has allowed staff to proactively meet their needs.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on our school community by strengthening communication, safety, and support for every student.
