Students use colored folders to organize reflections, notepads and gel pens to write encouraging notes to peers, and push pins to display kind messages and reminders on our board.\r\n\r\nWhen they first saw the materials, students were excited and motivated. Many immediately began writing notes for classmates and decorating the space, which helped build a stronger sense of community and empathy in the office.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using the Compassion Corner during lessons and activities, encouraging students to practice kindness, share positivity, and support each other.

The donated pencils ensure that every student comes to class prepared to learn, regardless of their circumstances. No time is lost searching for supplies or feeling embarrassed about not having basic materials—students can immediately focus on their work, discussions, and problem-solving activities.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have had an especially powerful impact on learning. Many of our lessons incorporate educational technology, including instructional videos, interactive simulations, and digital assessments. With individual headphones, students can work at their own pace, replay explanations as needed, and stay focused without distractions. This has been particularly helpful for students who benefit from repeated instructions, English language learners, and those who need a quieter environment to concentrate.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the sense of independence these tools provide. They feel trusted and empowered to take ownership of their learning. I've seen students who were once hesitant become more engaged and confident, especially during technology-based assignments. Your support has helped create a more equitable, focused, and supportive classroom environment, and my students are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1744032999146,"projectUrl":"project/pencils-for-students/9114707/","projectTitle":"Pencils for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rahmanov","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9474654"},{"teacherId":7493550,"projectId":9747137,"letterContent":"This project will transform the college counselor's office into a more welcoming, comfortable, and student-friendly space. Many students feel nervous or stressed when coming in for counseling, so creating a cozy and relaxed environment will help them feel calm and open.\r\n\r\nThe bean bag chair offers a soft, comfortable place for students to sit while waiting or during meetings, adding both comfort and a bright, inviting touch. The coffee table provides a functional space to hold papers, brochures, and other materials, with a built-in drawer to keep the office organized and tidy.\r\n\r\nTogether, these items create a small lounge area where students can relax, focus, and feel supported. This improved environment encourages engagement, confidence, and productive conversations about their college and career goals.","fullyFundedDate":1760540300674,"projectUrl":"project/designing-a-relaxing-space-for-students/9747137/","projectTitle":"Designing a Relaxing Space for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Demircan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7493550"},{"teacherId":7493550,"projectId":9651033,"letterContent":"This project will make the counseling and college readiness room more organized, welcoming, and student-focused.

Many of my students never had a chance to display their accomplishments before, and now they proudly hold a piece of proof that their efforts matter.
