The organizational and storage materials will help create a more structured, calm, and accessible learning environment for my students beginning in September. Having clearly organized spaces for materials will allow our classroom routines to run more smoothly, which will be especially important in helping students feel confident, supported, and successful as they adjust to new routines.\r\n\r\nWhen students enter the classroom and see the updated setup, they will have welcoming, thoughtfully designed spaces that promote independence and engagement. The birthday celebration items will help us create special moments throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of belonging and helping each student feel valued as an important part of our classroom community.\r\n\r\nThe new books will also help strengthen our classroom library, giving students access to a wider variety of engaging stories and learning opportunities. These additions will support literacy instruction, encourage curiosity, and help build a love of reading through independent exploration and shared story time.\r\n\r\nAs we begin the school year, these resources will support daily routines, strengthen classroom organization, and create engaging learning experiences from day one. Your support is helping lay the foundation for a classroom environment where students will be able to learn, grow, and thrive throughout the year.

Because of your support, my students received 15 colorful and durable headphones, and the impact on our classroom environment has been immediate and transformative. Your thoughtful gift has made a significant difference, particularly during our math centers. \r\n\r\nBefore the headphones arrived, our classroom was often a competition of sounds. While the exciting graphics and auditory rewards of online math fluency games were effective, the noise was a constant distraction, making it difficult for students to focus both during independent work and small-group instruction. With your support, students using iPads for interactive math activities are able to focus more deeply without being distracted by surrounding noise. They can fully concentrate on the amazing visuals and detailed instruction in the online math videos, or lock into their fluency games, improving their number sense without being distracted by their peers.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the headphones have created a more peaceful and productive environment for the other groups, too, whether they are receiving direct instruction from me or working independently at their desks. I can now work intensively with a small group of students without the distraction of the high-energy sounds coming from classroom devices. My students and I can focus entirely on the lesson at hand. Students who were working independently used to constantly get out of their chairs to see why someone's iPad was making a certain noise, but now they are staying focused on their own work. \r\n\r\nThe headphones have truly enhanced learning for all students. My students and I are so grateful for your support and for believing in the power of early education.","fullyFundedDate":1744032832240,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-help-us-focus/9198805/","projectTitle":"Headphones Help Us Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mooney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/beleckas"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21597","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":462,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.6,"schoolId":21597,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lindell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lindell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/long-beach-city-school-district/lindell-school/21597"}
