I have been using the name lanyards during field trips to keep students safe and accounted for. They love wearing the lanyards because it shows a sense of pride and belonging to our classroom. \r\nAlso, the additional monitor has been superb in helping me multi-task during class time. I have used the second screen to project videos or slides while employing my primary screen (laptop) to take attendance or track student learning.\r\nFinally, the manual carpet sweeper has kept our carpet super clean during days when the custodian doesn't vacuum our classroom. Having a clean classroom is essential to helping my students learn and prevent sickness.\r\nWe appreciate your generosity! Thank you for your support in our classroom as we begin a new school year.","fullyFundedDate":1773130116200,"projectUrl":"project/safe-field-trips-and-maximal-learning/10132194/","projectTitle":"Safe Field Trips and Maximal Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9474793_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y112&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708542341675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-jdoan"},{"teacherId":9474793,"projectId":10227385,"letterContent":"My students are absolutely obsessed with our new digital clock and pencil sharpener. I set up the clock during lunch time; when the students returned, they were surprised and excited when they saw the new colorful clock. The clock's large font size and bright colors helped my students see the time more clearly, especially those who sit farther away. We are also using the pencil sharpener to sharpen our pencils with ease. The device allows us to insert the pencil so it can sharpen hands-free. \r\n\r\nWe have also been using our new headphones to stay focused on our online learning programs. These headphones limit surrounding noises and help students listen to the audio on their laptops. Also, we have enjoyed creating bracelets after taking exams as a way to relax and connect with classmates. Some students have matching bracelets too. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity.

Through their bond, we have started to feel more like a classroom family.\r\nI've also been using the remote clicker and amplifier in class. The remote clicker has helped me point to certain parts of the screen that I'm teaching and it's a game-changer. With the remote, I walk around more when I teach, allowing me to manage students' progress easily. The amplifier has helped my students hear me with clarity, leading to more engagement in my lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1753291103911,"projectUrl":"project/artists-in-action/9330222/","projectTitle":"Artists in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Doan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9474793_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y112&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708542341675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-jdoan"},{"teacherId":9158577,"projectId":9195381,"letterContent":"This year, students' access to technology has had a significant impact on their learning outcomes.
