Equipped with their new binoculars, students have been exploring local ecosystems and bringing their science lessons to life.\r\n\r\nAt Prospect Park, they've been thrilled to spot and identify beautiful bird species native to New York City. But the excitement didn't stop at land—during a trip to Coney Island beach, a student scanned the water and spotted a stingray!

Students noticed, and there was this small but real sense of relief—especially from students who deal with severe allergies. One student said, \"This makes group work feel easier,\" and that honestly stuck with me because so much of what we do in ELA depends on students working closely together.\r\n\r\nNow it's just routine. Before literature circles or group activities, students sanitize without being reminded. During peer work, they're more comfortable sharing materials and moving between stations. It doesn't feel like an \"extra step\"—it just helps things run smoothly.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're reading A Midsummer Night's Dream, and students are acting out scenes. They're figuring out how to bring the language to life—tone, movement, even humor—and honestly, they're having fun with it in a way that surprises them sometimes. There's a lot of laughter, a lot of trying things out, and a lot of \"wait, let's do that part again.\"\r\n\r\nHaving these supplies in the room just removes a layer of worry. Students aren't thinking about shared materials or what they're touching—they're focused on the scene, their group, and how to make Shakespeare actually make sense on stage.\r\n\r\nOverall, it's made the classroom feel a little more relaxed and open. Students are more willing to jump in, take risks, and just be part of the work together—and that changes everything in an ELA class like this.","fullyFundedDate":1771658419839,"projectUrl":"project/clean-safe-classrooms-peace-of-mind/9985558/","projectTitle":"Clean, Safe Classrooms = Peace of Mind","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bloom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1789916_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1614257902544","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-bloomis228"},{"teacherId":226611,"projectId":10094042,"letterContent":"Your generosity and support mean so much to our students and classroom community.

Even our quietest performers feel empowered to take the stage, knowing their voices will be heard, and more students are stepping into both onstage and technical roles.
