This is allowed my students to have so much more opportunities to explore at recess time. The steppingstones I was able to use inside and outside of the classroom. We've enjoyed the mini golf, the ribbons, the Velcro balls, also all the basketballs, soccer balls and footballs as well. I've been rotating items in and out daily and it always keeps their attention focused on activities rather than being bored. This has eliminated a lot of behaviors out on the playground.","fullyFundedDate":1764695635281,"projectUrl":"project/coulies-recess-fun/9562405/","projectTitle":"Coulies Recess Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coulie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8818275"},{"teacherId":403114,"projectId":9799292,"letterContent":"The computer lab has transformed into a more focused and supportive learning space for every student. With their own set of headphones, students can now listen to instructional videos, digital read-alouds, and guided lessons without interruptions, allowing them to follow directions accurately and stay on task. This has led to greater independence as students work at their own pace and revisit instructions whenever needed. I am also able to provide small-group and individualized support without disrupting others, making the classroom more efficient and inclusive. Overall, the new headphones have increased engagement, reduced distractions, and helped create a calmer environment where students are better able to concentrate, learn, and feel confident using technology.","fullyFundedDate":1763579454103,"projectUrl":"project/turn-up-the-learning-not-the-volume/9799292/","projectTitle":"Turn Up the Learning, Not the Volume!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. P.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp403114_orig.jpg?crop=1179,1179,x0,y157&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1681489525475","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/poggi"},{"teacherId":403114,"projectId":9569471,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring new learning tools to my TK students. The items you helped donated have already made a huge impact on my students' learning and joy in the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe sorting activities have turned into a favorite way to build early math and problem solving skills. My students love working together to group objects by color, size and shape. The puppet theater has inspired creativity and has even inspired older students to volunteer to put on a show for the TK students. The magnetic shapes have sparked excitement for building and design. Students are experimenting with patterns and structures, developing both spatial awareness and early engineering skills all while having fun. \r\n\r\nEvery day I see their faces light up as they explore, create and imagine with these tools. They are not only learning essential academic skills but also practicing teamwork, communication, and creativity.
