When my students first saw the new materials—especially the speakers, fidget toys, and snacks—they lit up with excitement. The speakers have brought a new dimension to our lessons; we've incorporated music into daily routines and used audio resources for storytelling and language development. During one recent project, students created mini-presentations on their favorite topics and were thrilled to use the speakers to share sound effects and background music, making their work feel more professional and fun.\r\n\r\nThe fidget toys have become a quiet yet powerful tool in helping students stay focused. I've noticed students who typically struggle with attention now able to stay engaged for longer stretches, especially during reading and writing activities. The snacks have made a noticeable difference too—students are more energized and less distracted by hunger during afternoon lessons. Our classroom feels more inclusive and attuned to individual needs, and that has created a stronger sense of community.","fullyFundedDate":1739644230296,"projectUrl":"project/academic-oasis/8873290/","projectTitle":"Academic Oasis","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haywood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9785387"},{"teacherId":9797010,"projectId":8864291,"letterContent":"Dear Generous Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your thoughtful contribution of snacks to our classroom!
