The wired headphones have made a significant difference during our math technology rotations and independent learning tasks. When my students first opened the box of headphones, their eyes lit up—many of them said, \"We finally have our own!\" They were eager to use them during our first digital lesson, and the room instantly became quieter and more productive. Several students mentioned how much easier it was to concentrate without the surrounding noise.\r\n\r\nYour donation of storage bins has also played a huge role. We are now using the large blue storage bins to store the headphones neatly and safely. Each bin is labeled, making it easy for students to grab a pair, return them properly, and take responsibility for keeping our materials in good condition. This simple system has built independence and created a smoother flow during transitions. The digital timers have become a classroom favorite as well—students now check the large display to manage their time during math centers, group work, and fluency sessions. The silent wireless mouse has helped tremendously during our whole-group digital math lessons, making navigation during demonstrations much easier.\r\n\r\nThese resources have set a strong foundation for our upcoming \"Independent Math Mastery Stations,\" where students will use headphones for digital practice, timers for pacing, and organized bins for accessing tools independently. Your support has not only provided materials—it has created a learning environment where students feel empowered, focused, and excited to learn. Thank you for believing in our classroom and helping my students grow as responsible and engaged learners.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\nMs. Apple Mae Aleo\r\nBridgePrep Academy Collier\r\nGrades 3–5 Mathematics","fullyFundedDate":1758546547885,"projectUrl":"project/tune-out-the-noise-tune-into-learning/9724189/","projectTitle":"Tune Out the Noise, Tune Into Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mae Aleo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184896"},{"teacherId":10184896,"projectId":9616346,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Organized Learning, Engaged Students.\" Your generosity has brought meaningful structure and efficiency to our classroom. The Epson EcoTank printer has made it possible for me to provide clear, high-quality activity sheets, study guides, and differentiated learning materials for all my students. Before, printing was limited and sometimes delayed—now, I can instantly prepare the resources my learners need to grasp new concepts, practice skills, and build confidence in Math. When my students received their newly printed, colorful guides for the first time, they were so excited—they said it felt like receiving \"real\" personalized learning packets.\r\n\r\nThe 10-drawer mobile organizer has been just as transformative. Each drawer now holds essential instructional tools such as manipulatives, task cards, worksheets, and center materials. This simple organizational system allows students to locate what they need quickly and return items easily, giving them more responsibility and ownership of their learning. It has greatly improved the flow of our routines and helped reduce classroom clutter. The Scotch laminator and laminating sheets have allowed me to create durable visual aids, reusable math cards, center games, and anchor charts that will last throughout the school year. My students particularly love the laminated \"Math Challenge Cards,\" which they use during independent learning time.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, I am able to provide a more organized, engaging, and student-centered learning environment. My students benefit every single day from the materials you helped bring into our classroom—materials that support hands-on learning, clear instruction, and improved focus. Thank you for believing in my learners and helping us create a space where every child is supported and excited to grow.","fullyFundedDate":1757423302170,"projectUrl":"project/organized-learning-engaged-students/9616346/","projectTitle":"Organized Learning, Engaged Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mae Aleo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184896"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125112","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":261,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.8,"schoolId":125112,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bridgeprep Academy of Collier on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bridgeprep Academy of Collier","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/collier-county-public-schools/bridgeprep-academy-of-collier/125112"}
