Because of your support, my scholars are now able to focus on their computer-based assignments without being distracted by the sounds of other classmates' devices. Many of their assignments involve listening to text being read aloud or watching instructional videos, and having multiple laptops playing audio at once can quickly become overwhelming in a classroom of 36 students. \r\n\r\nBefore receiving these resources, scholars often struggled to hear their own devices and became distracted by the noise around them. Many families are not always able to provide earbuds for school use, so your kindness has made a meaningful difference in creating a calmer, more focused learning environment. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the cleaning wipes you provided have been essential in helping us maintain clean and healthy workspaces. With students sharing technology and materials throughout the day, having the ability to regularly sanitize desks and devices has made a noticeable difference in keeping our classroom safe and organized. This has helped scholars take greater pride in their learning environment and remain focused on their work. \r\n\r\nThe toner and cardstock have also had a tremendous impact. These supplies have allowed me to create engaging learning games, hands-on activities, and durable instructional materials that support different learning styles. Because of you, I am able to provide meaningful, interactive experiences that make learning more enjoyable and effective for my scholars. I truly appreciate your investment in our classroom and in my students' success. Your support helps ensure that every scholar has the tools they need to learn and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1764266116718,"projectUrl":"project/making-moves-towards-mastery-in-math/9697571/","projectTitle":"Making Moves Towards Mastery in Math","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S.

We have several autistic students and others that learn differently and when the class gets overwhelming they now have a place they can go to calm down and relax before they rejoin the class. Our other students also enjoy going there during their free time to sit and read a book, draw or write. Without your help for the carpet, manipulatives, books etc., we would not have been able to provide this.

This is truly an honor for me. As a new teacher, I was not expecting to be funded so quickly but you came through for my scholars and me. We use the items purchased and they absolutely love them! The blocks, books, and other materials have truly be appreciated. Every time I take the books out to read or they play with the equipment, I honestly think about each and every one of you. When I introduced the materials to my scholars, I told them that they were gifted to us by some very special people. They were so excited and wanted to say thank you.

My students loved the colorful bean bag chair and the carpet with smiley faces. They are beautiful. They were happy and excited when they first saw it. All of them wanted to sit on the chair. My students stay on the carpet when they are reading books and during morning meetings. During morning meetings, we talked about how they are feeling. \r\n\r\nHopefully for our next project we are planning to put some books both fiction or non- fiction for my students to read while they are on the carpet. Put some tables in case my students wants to draw and do some activities.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our project.","fullyFundedDate":1757882194401,"projectUrl":"project/empthy-in-action/9473677/","projectTitle":"Empthy in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/donorschoose-maga"},{"teacherId":9559620,"projectId":9116765,"letterContent":"When our new materials arrived, the students could hardly contain their excitement! I put up the light covers after school, and the next morning when they walked in, their faces lit up as bright as the ocean scenes above them. They pointed out the turtles and birds, thrilled by how the soft, calming light transformed our classroom. The covers not only reduced glare but also created a warm, welcoming space that instantly felt more peaceful and inspiring for learning.\r\n\r\nThe new storage cart made an equally big difference. Before, our classroom printer sat on milk crates, but now it has a proper home. The drawers neatly hold papers and student work, helping us stay organized and efficient throughout the day. It truly elevated our classroom's functionality and appearance.\r\n\r\nEvery single item, from the laminating sheets to the light covers has helped make our classroom a more engaging and supportive environment for learning. My students notice the changes, and their excitement reminds me how even small improvements can make a huge impact.
