The headphones provide a quiet environment by blocking out background noise, which helps students stay engaged with their individual tasks. For students who are easily distracted, the option to \"tune out\" classroom sounds has been especially beneficial in improving their focus and allowing them to produce higher-quality work.\r\n\r\nThe large timer has also had a powerful impact on my students' ability to manage their time and remain on task. The large timer has helped me to manage lessons by providing a clear visual of how much time is left and the students are more motivated to use their working time more efficiently. The timer helps create structure, encourages accountability, and reduces anxiety about not knowing how long an activity will last. Together, these tools have fostered a more focused, productive classroom environment where students can build stronger work habits and independence.","fullyFundedDate":1750871462479,"projectUrl":"project/focus-finish-and-flourish/9387641/","projectTitle":"Focus, Finish, and Flourish","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1652678_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1703898548518","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1652678"},{"teacherId":1652678,"projectId":9303135,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for but for providing my students with new materials for both math and art. The addition of expo markers job ticket holders(wipe-off mats),paint and construction paper has made a tremendous impact on their learning and creativity.\r\n\r\nIn math, the markers and wipe off mats have changed the way my students approach problem-solving. They now take more risk, knowing they can easily erase and try again. This has built their confidence and encourage them to engage more actively in lessons. The mats have also made learning more interactive -students love showing their answers compare strategies and collaborating with classmates.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies have brought just as much excitement! With fresh paint and colorful construction papers, students have more opportunities to express themselves creatively. These materials allow them to bring their ideas to life whether through classroom projects, like the new art unit that we are starting, or just simply exploring art for the joy of creating.\r\n\r\nTogether these resources have given my classroom a fun and engaging energy, where students feel confident and creative.","fullyFundedDate":1746455675331,"projectUrl":"project/still-learning-still-growing/9303135/","projectTitle":"Still Learning, Still Growing!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1652678_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1703898548518","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1652678"},{"teacherId":1502730,"projectId":8545399,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom.

These new activities, from manipulatives to creative play materials, are engaging our students in meaningful ways while fostering their growth and confidence.\r\n\r\nFine motor development is a critical step in preparing young learners for fluent writing. By enhancing their ability to grasp, control, and manipulate objects, we are laying the groundwork for proper pencil grip, hand-eye coordination, and the endurance required for sustained writing. These skills go beyond the classroom, as fine motor proficiency is key to everyday tasks like tying shoes, buttoning clothes, and using utensils. Your contributions directly support our mission of ensuring all children develop the essential skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has a lasting impact on these young learners and our entire classroom community.
