For many of them, this was their first experience using personal audio tools in a classroom setting. The excitement was immediate—students eagerly plugged in and began exploring digital stories, phonics games, and language learning apps with a new level of focus and clarity. One student, who often struggles with distractions, said, \"I can finally hear just my story!\" That moment showed how powerful this simple tool can be in creating a calm, personalized learning space.\r\nThe headphones have become an essential part of our literacy block. Students use them during independent reading and small group rotations, allowing me to differentiate instruction more effectively. Multilingual learners especially benefit from hearing clear pronunciation and engaging with audio-supported texts. The technology has helped build confidence and independence, and I've seen students who were once hesitant now fully immersed in their learning.\r\nThese headphones have opened up new possibilities for personalized learning and have helped create a more inclusive and focused classroom environment. I'm excited to continue using them to support student growth across subjects.","fullyFundedDate":1758230076068,"projectUrl":"project/tune-in-to-learning/9528912/","projectTitle":"Tune In to Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp216520_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696478283103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrscollinshollyhills"},{"teacherId":216520,"projectId":9528976,"letterContent":"When my students first saw the hydroponics system, their eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity. Many had never seen plants growing without soil, and the idea that we could grow lettuce, herbs, and even strawberries right in our classroom sparked a flood of questions and wonder. One student exclaimed, \"It's like science magic!\"—and that moment perfectly captured the joy and engagement this project has brought.\r\nWe've integrated the hydroponics system into our science and literacy lessons. Students are tracking plant growth in observation journals, making predictions, and learning about the water cycle, nutrients, and sustainability. During a recent lesson, students worked in small groups to design their own \"dream garden\" using what they learned about hydroponics. They're not just learning science—they're becoming scientists.\r\nNext, we'll be diving into a unit on ecosystems and food chains, using our hydroponic garden as a living lab. Students will explore how plants fit into larger systems and how technology can support sustainable agriculture. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has become a place of hands-on discovery, and our students are growing in more ways than one.","fullyFundedDate":1757984914601,"projectUrl":"project/planting-curiosity-hydroponics-in-the-c/9528976/","projectTitle":"Planting Curiosity: Hydroponics in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp216520_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696478283103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrscollinshollyhills"},{"teacherId":9508993,"projectId":9016921,"letterContent":"Your generous donation to our classroom made a huge impact. The kids feel so special taking pictures with our new camera for our Make Yourself Proud wall. Along with their selection of work they are proud of for the week, they see themselves in a sweet photo. It really does make them feel worthy. They love the pink color the camera too. \r\n\r\nIt is amazing to see the IG wall made by them with their beautiful faces. Helping them to see their self-worth and hoping to increase their self-confidence makes this project 100% worth it. Thank you Harvey Foundation for making this small dream a possibility.

We are so grateful for your generous donations to Holly Hills Elementary School! Since Pickleball has become so popular, I decided it was important to introduce our students to this fun, fast paced game where everyone can participate. Most of our students do not have access or the means to participate in after school sports or clubs. I try to introduce them to as many different sports as possible while they are in PE with me.\r\n\r\nWhen we opened up the packages a few weeks ago, the kids were so excited. It meant the world to them that they got to help open boxes, take the paddle out of the plastic, help set up the new net and have everything bright, shiny and new. \r\n\r\nWe are thankful for your donation and I am having so much fun watching the kids learn a new sport.
