They were also excited to see the new clipboards, because they love to work in partners in different places around the room. \r\nThe clipboards will allow the students to sit wherever they want on the floor and work on assignments.

Thanks to your generosity, each of my students now has access to quality headphones, and the difference has been truly incredible.\r\nWhile many people are used to using headphones at home for music or videos, in our classroom they've become essential learning tools. My students use them daily during independent reading, language arts programs, and math activities on their devices. The headphones allow them to focus on personalized instruction without distractions, and they're able to work at their own pace with clarity and confidence.\r\nWhat's most exciting to my students is the feeling of independence. They no longer have to worry about background noise or sharing devices—when they put on their headphones, they're in their own learning zone. It has helped them concentrate better, stay more engaged, and truly enjoy their lessons.\r\nOne student in particular, who usually struggles with focusing in a noisy environment, has shown amazing improvement. With headphones, he's been able to complete full lessons without interruptions and even told me, \"It feels like it's just me and the teacher talking.\" That kind of connection is powerful and it wouldn't have been possible without your support.\r\nThank you for bringing this technology into our classroom. You've given my students the tools to hear, focus, and thrive in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1753375195908,"projectUrl":"project/loud-and-clear-headphones-for-learning/9304291/","projectTitle":"\"Loud and Clear: Headphones for Learning\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6966649_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753136459727","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eheon"},{"teacherId":6966649,"projectId":9509928,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping us bring Mail Center Magic: Organizing Our Learning to life! Because of your generosity, we were able to welcome a brand new wooden mailbox system with individual pull out drawers one for each student and it has already made a huge impact on how we stay organized and share our learning.\r\nThe day the mailbox arrived, my students were thrilled! You could see the excitement on their faces as they found the drawer with their class number on it. They couldn't wait to check their mailboxes for papers to take home everything from completed assignments to classroom newsletters and even special notes from me. It instantly gave them a sense of ownership and responsibility, and they love being the \"mail helper\" of the day who gets to deliver everyone's work.\r\nOne special moment that stands out: after finishing their first big project, students carefully placed it in their mailboxes to take home. Several of them said things like, \"I can't wait to show my family!\" It was a small act, but it gave them such pride in their hard work and a clear, organized way to bring their learning home.\r\nThanks to you, we've not only added a beautiful piece of furniture to our room, but a functional system that helps us stay organized and celebrate our learning. The next step is to integrate more student-created newsletters and class updates into our mail system, giving students more ownership and practice with real-world writing.\r\nYour generosity has brought joy, independence, and a touch of professionalism to our classroom.

This new resource has opened up so many possibilities for interactive learning, and my students are absolutely loving it. It's quickly become the heart of our classroom, where students collaborate, brainstorm, and solve problems together.\r\n\r\nOne of the first activities we did was a **group math challenge**, where students worked together to solve complex word problems. They used the whiteboard table to jot down their ideas, work through equations, and explain their thinking to one another. It was amazing to see the way they collaborated—discussing strategies, offering suggestions, and learning from each other. The table encouraged a level of teamwork and critical thinking that is difficult to replicate with traditional desks.\r\n\r\nWhen the whiteboard table first arrived, my students couldn't contain their excitement! They were eager to dive in, and many of them expressed how cool it was to have a space where they could write, erase, and change their ideas freely. The sense of ownership and creativity it gives them is truly inspiring. It's not just a tool for writing—it's become a space for active learning and experimentation.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your support, and we can already see how this new resource is making a positive impact on our students' learning.

Your donation brought new books into our 3rd grade library, and I want to share just how much of a difference they're making for our students.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is more than just a subject—it's an adventure, a confidence builder, and a daily opportunity for growth. With your help, we now have exciting, diverse, and engaging texts that have truly lit a spark in our young readers. These books are helping students build essential reading skills like identifying main ideas, making inferences, using context clues, and developing vocabulary. More importantly, they're helping us talk about big themes like kindness, perseverance, and empathy.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom happens everywhere: on the carpet during quiet time, in small groups during guided reading, and one-on-one with me or a reading buddy. Our room is filled with the quiet hum of turning pages, the occasional \"ooh!\" when a story twist surprises them, and best of all—the proud declarations of \"I finished it!\" from kids who may have once hesitated to pick up a book at all.\r\n\r\nOne student, Jordan, had never finished a chapter book before this year. With the new books you helped provide, he found a series he loved and couldn't put it down. Now he asks to read during free time and even takes books home to read with his little brother. Another student, Mia, found a story that reflected her own family's culture, and it meant the world to her. She said, \"It feels like this book was made for me.\"\r\n\r\nThanks to you, reading is becoming personal, joyful, and empowering for our kids. We are truly grateful for your kindness—you've helped make readers out of learners, and lifelong learners out of readers.","fullyFundedDate":1701795059106,"projectUrl":"project/there-is-no-friend-as-loyal-as-a-book/7937927/","projectTitle":"There is No Friend as Loyal as a Book","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6966649_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753136459727","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eheon"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4588","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":473,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.9,"schoolId":4588,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roosevelt Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roosevelt Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/redwood-city-school-district/roosevelt-elementary-school/4588"}
