Students use interactive reading apps that support comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary growth, helping them become more confident readers. The whisper phones have also been a wonderful addition—students use them during phonics lessons to hear themselves read, improving their decoding and blending skills. Even simple tools like classroom timers have made a big difference, helping students with social-emotional needs manage transitions, stay focused, and build independence. Together, these tools create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive.\r\n\r\nThe new products have brought an extra level of excitement and motivation to learning. Students love using the iPad for engaging activities that feel more like games than lessons, and it has become a favorite station during small-group time. The whisper phones make reading practice more interactive, and students enjoy using them because they can instantly hear their progress. One student who used to rush through reading now takes his time, proudly listening to his own fluency improve. Another student who struggles with focus uses the timer to help manage her work sessions and transitions more calmly. It's been inspiring to see how these new tools not only enhance academic growth but also build confidence, self-awareness, and joy in learning. I can't thank you enough for your generous donations—these tools have truly made a difference in my students' learning, confidence, and joy in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760790916063,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-in-my-inclusive/9833523/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers In My Inclusive Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Morgan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10314004"},{"teacherId":5455293,"projectId":9816424,"letterContent":"I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of my third-grade classroom literacy project.

The new chapter books have sparked excitement for reading and have encouraged even reluctant readers to dive into stories. The dry erase clipboards have made small-group work and interactive lessons more engaging, while the floor cushions have created a welcoming reading nook where students love to curl up with a good book and listen during whole group instruction.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly enriched our learning environment and helped nurture a love of reading among my students.

Your generosity has made a meaningful and lasting impact on the daily lives and learning experiences of my 4th-grade students.\r\n\r\nThis project focused on bringing flexible seating chairs into our classroom—a small shift with the potential for transformative change. Many of my students struggle to stay focused or comfortable in traditional hard plastic chairs. For some, it's a matter of attention; for others, it's about meeting sensory needs or simply having the freedom to move their bodies in healthy, productive ways.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating allows students to take ownership of their learning environment, choose what works best for them, and feel more engaged and comfortable. When students have options—like wobble stools, floor seats, or cushioned chairs—they're more likely to stay focused, collaborate with peers, and develop a stronger sense of responsibility and independence.\r\n\r\nThese chairs support a variety of learning styles, promote self-regulation, and help foster a classroom community that values comfort, flexibility, and choice. Your contribution helped transform our room into a welcoming, student-centered space where all learners can thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for helping to make their school days brighter, more comfortable, and more productive.","fullyFundedDate":1739548945454,"projectUrl":"project/chairs-for-change-empowering-students-w/9059396/","projectTitle":"Chairs for Change: Empowering Students with Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Swalm","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1862117_orig.jpg?crop=275,275,x461,y182&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1590152310950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cathy-swalm"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73380","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1414,"numTeachers":73,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.6,"schoolId":73380,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mot Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mot Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/delaware-department-of-education/mot-charter-school/73380"}
