They are reading more independently,\r\ndiscussing books with their peers, and even writing their own stories inspired\r\nby what they've read.\r\n- Building a Strong Foundation for Learning: Reading is fundamental to all areas\r\nof learning. By providing these valuable resources, you've helped my students\r\nbuild a strong foundation for success in reading, writing, and beyond.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible support.

I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donations and support of our intervention program. Your contributions have profoundly impacted our students, particularly those who struggle to feel comfortable in the classroom setting.\r\n\r\nMany students in intervention face unique challenges, often feeling anxious or uncertain in their learning environments. This discomfort can lead to difficulties in engagement, participation, and overall academic success. However, thanks to your thoughtful donations, we have made significant strides in creating a more welcoming and inviting atmosphere that fosters a sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nOne of the most notable changes has been the improvement in our classroom's cleanliness and organization. A clean learning environment has made a world of difference for my students. It has not only allowed them to feel at ease in their surroundings but also provided easy access to the materials they need for their lessons. When students feel comfortable in their space, they are more willing to engage with their peers and participate in class activities.\r\n\r\nI have witnessed a remarkable transformation in my students as they have begun to settle in and take ownership of their learning. The clutter that once overwhelmed them has been cleared away, freeing up valuable space for growth and exploration. With a well-organized environment, my students have become better at working independently. They are now more capable of problem-solving and finding the resources they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has been instrumental in this positive shift. Thank you for your commitment to supporting our students and for helping to create a classroom environment where they can thrive. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in their lives, and I look forward to sharing more success stories with you in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1734870312435,"projectUrl":"project/safe-and-inspirational-space/8706775/","projectTitle":"Safe and Inspirational Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Franczyk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2391160_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747412856869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2391160"},{"teacherId":2510076,"projectId":9057868,"letterContent":"I wanted to share how much your generous gift of headphones has meant to our third-grade classroom. Honestly, they've been a game-changer! Before, independent work time could get a little noisy, making it tough for some of my students to really focus and get into what they were doing. Now, with their own headphones, they can create their own quiet little learning nooks. It's amazing to see them tune into audiobooks, get absorbed in educational apps, or just concentrate on their writing without getting distracted. It's made a real difference in their ability to stay on task and truly engage with what they're learning.\r\n\r\nBeyond just keeping things quiet, these headphones have become such a helpful tool for reaching all my learners. For some kids, hearing information makes it click so much better, and now they can fully benefit from audio resources. For others who get easily overwhelmed by a busy classroom, the headphones offer a sense of calm and control while they're still participating. I've seen a real boost in how engaged and confident my students are, and a lot less frustration when they're trying to concentrate. Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift – it's truly making a positive impact on each and every one of them.","fullyFundedDate":1739044461515,"projectUrl":"project/class-set-of-headphones-for-differentiat/9057868/","projectTitle":"Class Set of Headphones for Differentiated Audio Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dodson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2510076_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522957158766","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-dodson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77846","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":437,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.7,"schoolId":77846,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maplewood - Richmond Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maplewood - Richmond Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/maplewood-richmond-heights-sd/maplewood-richmond-heights-elementary-school/77846"}
