They immediately noticed the air purifiers humming quietly and commented that the classroom \"felt fresher.\" The Clorox wipes and air fresheners have already made a big difference in helping us keep our learning space clean, which is especially important with so many little hands moving from one activity to another.\r\n\r\nThe markers and pencils were put to use right away during a writing project. Students were thrilled to choose from the new markers for illustrating their personal narratives, and the pencils have given them the tools to focus on writing without the constant interruptions of broken or dull supplies. One student proudly said, \"Now my story looks just like a book!\"\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we can spend more time learning in a safe, clean, and creative environment. Our next steps include diving deeper into our writing unit, where students will be drafting, editing, and publishing their own stories. These supplies will continue to support their growth as writers, readers, and learners each day.","fullyFundedDate":1731555209954,"projectUrl":"project/breathing-easy-learning-bright-tools-f/8774552/","projectTitle":"Breathing Easy, Learning Bright: Tools for a Fresh, Fun Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9376322_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726198835835","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9376322"},{"teacherId":1561097,"projectId":9598908,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our project! I truly cannot express my gratitude enough for you helping out in my classroom. Having the PA system provides both myself and my students with the ability to interact in a more positive manner in class.\r\n\r\nFirst of all, for me personally the PA system does a fantastic job of amplifying my voice so that I don't have to strain to be heard clearly over a large group of 5th graders. My classroom is also in a portable and I have other neighboring teachers next to me and behind me, so being able to direct the sound amplification so that it does not bother them is extremely useful. The system comes with multiple microphone options as well, which is helpful in making sure that one is always charged and ready to go.\r\n\r\nFor the students, they absolutely love using the microphone! When I'm walking around the classroom and they are participating in answering questions, I'm able to simply pass the lapel microphone over to them so that they can be heard by all of their peers. They are still a bit shy to get up in front of the class for individual presentations since it's still the beginning of the school year, but the excitement of having access to the microphone is a great motivator for the them to step up to the challenge.\r\n\r\nAgain, my students and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity that allowed this project to be completed.","fullyFundedDate":1755737478423,"projectUrl":"project/we-want-to-hear-loud-and-clear/9598908/","projectTitle":"We Want to Hear, Loud and Clear!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1561097"},{"teacherId":6935601,"projectId":9619425,"letterContent":"Our funded project is helping our class become better readers by providing targeted worksheets that align with our curriculum.
