Your kindness has already made a meaningful impact in our classroom. The headphones have helped students focus during learning programs like iReady for math and Istation for reading. They can now hear directions clearly, block out distractions, and work more independently. It's amazing to see how confident and engaged they are when learning. The shoe bags and organizational bags have made our classroom more structured and efficient. Students can quickly find their materials, stay organized, and take responsibility for their supplies, which helps create a calm and productive learning environment.\r\nWe're also grateful for the sensory tent, which provides a safe and quiet space for any student who may need a moment to reset. More than the materials themselves, your donation shows our students that people in the community care about their education and believe in their potential. Because of your generosity, our classroom is more supportive, focused, and inspiring. Thank you for making a lasting difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1751157701402,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-first-graders/9204590/","projectTitle":"Headphones for First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ana I.
