The headphones and power cords have gone to great use. The children still have their challenges, but tech support is becoming less prominent. The use of remediation programs and computer technology is making a significant dent in low literacy. However, the overpowering idea the children experience through this donation system is that people--they don't even know-- care about them. This particular format lauds the love of society on young people who may not fully understand what it is that civilization should be about: promoting and prospering people.\r\n I am not the only loving influence upon my children, you are. If I can continue to support my students, they will prosper. If they prosper, they may learn to support other and thus improve the quality of the lives of many. One strong person at a time is how we develop the journey of many strong people standing tall (because of) and with each other.\r\n If nothing else, my students will be literate enough to express themselves assertively, clearly and thoughtfully. Your gift(s) make this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1756580942806,"projectUrl":"project/square-pegs-down-the-rabbit-hole/9497590/","projectTitle":"Square Pegs Down the Rabbit Hole","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1100707_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1485350297501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hphillips"},{"teacherId":5802635,"projectId":9215957,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom community.

Many students who are typically quiet or hesitant in traditional activities are participating more confidently thanks to these hands-on learning experiences.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has allowed us to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where students can grow not only academically but socially and emotionally as well.

These resources have already made a tremendous difference in the way our students learn and engage each day.\r\n\r\nThe classroom monitor has transformed lessons by making instruction more interactive and accessible. Students can now easily view presentations, collaborate on group projects, and participate in discussions with greater clarity. Visual learning has become much more dynamic, and the monitor allows us to share student work instantly, celebrate successes, and encourage meaningful feedback in real time.\r\n\r\nThe classroom printer has been equally impactful. Having immediate access to printing allows students to quickly produce drafts, final projects, and reflection sheets without leaving the classroom. It has supported students who benefit from having physical copies of resources and has given them greater independence in taking ownership of their work. Most importantly, it ensures that no student is left behind because of limited access to technology at home.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only enhanced the quality of instruction but has also created a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. Our students are thriving because of tools that make learning more engaging, accessible, and efficient.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your investment in our classroom.
