We know the results of this project will benefit many people, and we couldn't have done it without your help.\r\n\r\nIn addition, many of my students have expressed interest in continuing this project within their own homes. Some have asked their parents for fleece so they can make blankets of their own, for their family members, or continue our goal to help the community. It has been so uplifting to see my students see the joy of caring for others and gain a desire to continue to do so with their families. I am very grateful for the role each of you have played to give my students the opportunity to learn a new skill and help take care of our community.","fullyFundedDate":1758822642983,"projectUrl":"project/keep-our-community-warm/9582831/","projectTitle":"Keep Our Community Warm","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reeser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3031253_orig.jpg?crop=2604,2604,x35,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757435679069","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3031253"},{"teacherId":9405946,"projectId":9576389,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity!

These are easily the highest quality headphones that I've ever had in my classroom and the students like them a lot. The colors and comfortable padding make them much more appealing to use. \r\n\r\nThey serve multiple purposes in my classroom, as some students benefit from added focus on assignments with audio components or are able to engage with additional accessibility modifications. For my students that need help catching up in their general reading levels and literacy, they are an essential tool to help them listen to new and often complex scientific vocabulary. You have helped them grow and succeed in my classroom and for that I am so grateful!

Thank you for donating so that we could have books with math and about math and about using math on our classroom shelves. The books have helped students see math differently.\r\n Many students enjoyed the books with mathematical puzzles; some even wrote about the puzzles so they could try them at home with their family. Some students also expressed disbelief that math could be used in a social aspect kind of way. They thought the idea of having mathematically inspired nicknames absurd, but I enjoyed reading about a girl being called |initials| because she was always positive.\r\n Again, thanks for helping my students and myself see math differently.","fullyFundedDate":1727979844601,"projectUrl":"project/math-reading-increased-achievement/8843989/","projectTitle":"Math + Reading = Increased Achievement!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schlink","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1789430_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660783635693","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1789430"},{"teacherId":7236209,"projectId":8877569,"letterContent":"These resources are a game changer for these 7th graders. There have been several instances where students have truly needed this space to self-regulate and a sad event where a class as a whole dispersed the items and used them to regulate until a counselor could check-in with the class. \r\n\r\nThere are things in all of our lives where we need space and time to regulate but do not feel prepared or in the right space to move to a separate building or talk to someone about what is going on quite yet.
