Because of your generosity, our classroom now has transmitters that project what is displayed on my computer screen onto television screens at each student table.\r\n\r\nThe difference this has made in our classroom is incredible. Students no longer have to turn, stretch, or look across the room to see the lesson. Whether I am modeling a new skill, displaying directions, showing an example, sharing a video, or writing on the whiteboard, students can see the information clearly right at their tables.\r\n\r\nMy students are curious, creative, and eager to participate, and these new screens allow them to engage with learning in a whole new way. They can stay focused on the lesson while also working with their classmates, discussing ideas, and completing activities together. Students who may have previously struggled to see the board can now follow along more independently and confidently.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project has helped create a classroom where every student has an equal opportunity to see, participate, and learn. Every table now has a front-row view, and every student can feel like they have a front-row seat to their own learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping me create a classroom that is more accessible, interactive, and inclusive. Your support is making a daily difference in the way my students learn, collaborate, and experience success.","fullyFundedDate":1788754021829,"projectUrl":"project/making-every-seat-a-front-row-seat/10598471/","projectTitle":"Making Every Seat a Front Row Seat","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bowen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8183274"},{"teacherId":9578949,"projectId":10589243,"letterContent":"This project has made such a positive impact on my classroom and my students. My students do not have the opportunity to visit our school library, so I had purchased several books out of my own pocket for our classroom. I quickly discovered how much my students loved looking at and exploring the books.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, we now have our own classroom library with an array of books for students to choose from. Library time has become part of our daily routine. Students can select a book, lay on the carpet or choose a circle mat to sit on, look through and explore their book, and then choose another one when they are finished.\r\n\r\nOne of the best parts for me has been watching how much they enjoy this time. I am so happy to see my students learning how to handle the books with care, making their own choices, and becoming excited about books. They even ask, \"When is it time for library?\" Seeing my students look forward to library time every day reminds me just how much this project has improved our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1788672665022,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-touch-play-and-discov/10589243/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Touch, Play, and Discovery","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bonnie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9578949"},{"teacherId":7867780,"projectId":10560532,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my Read and Grow project and for all of the generous donations that have made such a meaningful difference in my classroom.\r\n\r\nMy students were beyond excited to learn that they would get to choose their next novel study and work together with others in the class. Having a voice in what they read and the opportunity to share the experience with their classmates has brought a completely new energy into our classroom. They are excited, engaged, and, most importantly, they are begging to read!\r\n\r\nIt has been such a bright light in this day and age to see my students choose to have their noses in a book rather than their eyes on a screen. Watching their excitement as they discover new stories, discuss characters, and learn alongside one another reminds me just how powerful the gift of reading can be.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students more than books. You have given them choice, collaboration, excitement, and a renewed love of reading.

The \"To All the Boys I've Loved Before\" has been on my student suggestion list since last spring. After reading the reviews, it seems like it will be an appropriate series for our middle schoolers.\r\n\r\nThe Science Graphic Novels are going to be a hot commodity with all three grade levels but the 6th graders will be all over them first. Graphic novels are in high-demand. I especially love that these are non-fiction.\r\n\r\nI've had some extra time to begin wrapping some paperback books that have been waiting for the contact paper to arrive.

The paint we received was used by multiple classes to paint bright and festive scenery for Neverland, the Lagoon and Hook's ship. \r\n\r\nThe body mic packs we received were a game changer for the audio crew. Actors were able to safely wear their body mics and be more comfortable while wearing them under their costume.\r\n\r\nWe had such an amazing time putting this show together.

What's been especially exciting is how our new classroom additions—floor cushions, lamps, and a speaker—have enhanced that experience. The flexible seating allows students to choose a comfortable spot where they can focus, which is huge for students who struggle with attention or sensory needs. The soft lighting from the lamps creates a calmer environment, reducing stress and helping students feel safe and ready to learn. The speaker has been a favorite as well—we use it for audiobooks, guided reading, and background music during independent work, which helps students stay engaged and improves comprehension.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who typically struggle to stay seated or focused have really responded positively to these changes. They are more willing to participate, stay on task longer, and take ownership of their learning space. Students who are easily overwhelmed have also benefited from the calmer, more flexible environment. Overall, these additions have made our classroom more inclusive, comfortable, and supportive for all learners, and I've already seen a noticeable difference in student engagement and productivity.","fullyFundedDate":1768513315107,"projectUrl":"project/where-calm-meets-confidence/10004114/","projectTitle":"Where Calm Meets Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Montes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10401062"},{"teacherId":9411428,"projectId":10004362,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of my 8th grade classroom.

During a recent real lockdown, I was incredibly grateful for the light controls, which allowed me to turn off all additional lighting instantly—something that truly matters when every second counts.

We've been using the new supplies every single day. The whiteboard markers, sticky notes, pencils, and erasers have helped students stay actively engaged during lessons, especially during small group work and quick check-for-understanding activities. One of my favorite moments was during a collaborative brainstorming activity where students used sticky notes to share their ideas—every student participated, even those who are usually hesitant to speak up. The simple addition of these materials has made our classroom more interactive and inclusive.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new supplies, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They were especially thrilled to have fresh pencils and colorful markers to use, and they took pride in helping organize and care for the materials like the broom, dustpan, and other classroom tools. Having snacks available has also been incredibly impactful—students are more focused and ready to learn when their basic needs are met, and it has created a more comfortable and supportive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources in ongoing projects that involve collaboration, writing, and problem-solving. We are currently working on group-based activities where students rotate through stations, using whiteboards and sticky notes to share ideas and reflect on their learning. These materials will continue to support their growth, helping them build confidence, stay organized, and fully participate in their education.
