The headphones provide support to my students to focus more on differentiated lessons.

These texts introduce important literacy and musical skills such as rhyme recognition, phrasing, sequencing, and expressive reading. Students learn to listen carefully, follow patterns, and understand how stories can be told not just with words, but through song and motion. This combination has strengthened their reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence in sharing their voices.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become an energetic, collaborative experience. Students gather together to sing, read, and act out stories while discussing what they hear and imagine. The joy and engagement are contagious—especially for students who once felt shy about reading aloud. Now, they eagerly participate, tapping rhythms, echoing phrases, and leading their classmates in song. These materials have turned reading into a celebration of learning, where every child's creativity and voice are part of the story.","fullyFundedDate":1738781748778,"projectUrl":"project/sing-learn-and-grow-enriching-educati/9030687/","projectTitle":"Sing, Learn, and Grow: Enriching Education with Songbooks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Engel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8945953"},{"teacherId":1979809,"projectId":9638147,"letterContent":"My first-grade students were elated and excited to see brand-new pencil boxes on their desks on the first day of First Grade!

With the fulfillment of my Donors Choose project last spring, I was able to create a space in my classroom this fall for students to enjoy reading. The bookshelf is a focal point and draws my students in. They love to pick a book and sit and read. They also are loving playing the reading games. The new inference game is a much-requested game to play on game day Friday! My students love to use the book bags on the back of their chairs to access their materials. I personally am using the cart and containers to stay organized. The card stock and lamination pages are being used to make fun reading games.\r\n\r\nMy students were beyond excited when they saw the bookshelf. They couldn't wait to spin the bookshelf around pick a book to read. I am hoping that by starting each group out with students picking a book and quietly reading for 10 minutes before we begin our lesson they will look forward to coming to group and will see reading positively and not negatively. I can honestly say that so far this is the case! As a reward, I have game day Friday where students pick reading games to play. Their faces lit up when I was able to present new games for them to choose from.\r\n\r\nMy next steps are to continue building my space to be a comforting, inviting space. I had to move spaces over the summer, so my new space needs some TLC. I have created a new Donors Choose project to add fun seating to my reading area as well as some items to help keep my space free from distractions. For many of my students, school is their safe haven, and I hope to continue to make my space a spot for students to learn to read, want to read, and in turn, love to read. Thus giving them an escape from some of the tough home lives in which they live.","fullyFundedDate":1746585760140,"projectUrl":"project/a-fun-bookshelf-to-promote-a-love-for-re/9034548/","projectTitle":"A Fun Bookshelf to Promote a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clary","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8627406"},{"teacherId":10061066,"projectId":9426506,"letterContent":"As a first-year teacher, I am incredibly grateful for the generosity and support that made this project possible. Your donations have truly transformed my classroom and helped me create an engaging and welcoming space for my students to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating has allowed my students to move freely around the room instead of being confined to their desks. They love being able to choose where and how they work best, whether it's collaborating in small groups or finding a quiet spot to focus independently. This flexibility has encouraged creativity, focus, and ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nOur multicultural books have quickly become student favorites! My students are amazed to see characters who look like them and share similar cultures and experiences. Watching their faces light up as they connect with the stories has been one of the most rewarding parts of teaching so far.\r\n\r\nThe classroom supplies have also made a big difference in our daily routines. The baskets provide convenient storage for materials, keeping our space organized and clutter-free. The sharpener has been such a reliable resource, and the Expo markers, laminating sheets, and pencils help make lessons more interactive and hands-on.\r\n\r\nI am so thankful for your kindness and belief in my students and me. Your support has helped me start my teaching journey with confidence and has given my students the tools and environment they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1754442585155,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher-big-dreams-basic-ne/9426506/","projectTitle":"First-Year Teacher, Big Dreams, Basic Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oliveira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10061066"},{"teacherId":2189487,"projectId":9150807,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all of your incredible donations to my book project for my 5th grade students.

The egg seats and blue chairs are very helpful for students to move their bodies during work time and improve their focus. Behaviors seemingly reduced in students with the option of different seating choices instead of just their desks. Students who need a break away at the calming center have enjoyed being able to choose their seats for their calm time. \r\nOver these two years, each class has loved the option of different seats and how they can sit comfortably during independent times.

This is because they have the resources to learn the correct words to use; tissues are for your nose, paper towels clean messes, and sanitizer cleans our hands.\r\nThanks to these supplies and the student's ability to properly use them, we have had a lot less sick children as well.
