The indoor recess space has become a calm, welcoming place where students who used to feel overwhelmed or isolated during recess now feel safe, relaxed, and included.\r\n\r\nStudents who struggled socially now have structured games and activities that make it easier for them to connect with classmates, build friendships, and practice communication skills in a low-pressure environment.\r\n\r\nI've watched students who used to spend recess alone now laughing over board games, working together on puzzles, and choosing to sit with peers they normally wouldn't approach outside. Some students who typically feel anxious during the day are calmer and more regulated after having a peaceful recess option.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, recess has shifted from a stressful time for some students into a moment they genuinely look forward to.

Many of our students use online programs for reading, math, and language development that are tailored to their individual skill levels. With the new headphones, students can focus on their specific lessons without distractions, and they're able to hear instructions, feedback, and stories clearly. The headphones also help us during testing, allowing students to use text-to-speech features or audio instructions when needed, which supports our diverse group of learners\r\n\r\nYour support has made a real difference in our daily classroom experience.

Whether we were reading together during whole-group story time or students were exploring books independently, it was clear how excited they were to dive into the world of reading.\r\n\r\nThe variety of books helped meet my students' wide range of reading levels and interests. Many began recognizing sight words, practicing reading strategies, and—most importantly—building a love for books. For some of my students, this was their first experience having access to a wide selection of age-appropriate and engaging books. It gave them the confidence to see themselves as readers, and that confidence carried over into their writing, vocabulary development, and classroom conversations.\r\n\r\nYour support made a lasting difference in our learning community.
