Your generosity has brought valuable hands-on manipulatives, whiteboard resources, headphones, and instructional supplies into my first-grade classroom. We use the materials during small-group lessons and learning centers to make reading and math more interactive. For example, students use manipulatives to model addition and subtraction, then write the matching equations on their whiteboards. This helps them connect what they can see and touch to the numbers they write.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were excited and eager to try them. These resources give students more ways to participate, practice at their own level, and share their thinking. Headphones support focused listening during digital activities, while instructional supplies help children access materials and develop interdependence.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to build on these by strengthening reading, spelling, and number sense. Students will continue using the resources to practice related addition and subtraction facts, explain their answers, and collaborate during learning centers. Thank you for making these opportunities possible and helping us create a classroom where every child has the support and tools to shine!","fullyFundedDate":1787585206968,"projectUrl":"project/helping-every-child-shine/10434010/","projectTitle":"Helping Every Child Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sarosad","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10409322_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768946688075","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10409322"},{"teacherId":10409322,"projectId":10034438,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in funding our classroom printer project, \"Colorful Pages, Confident Readers.\" Because of you, this project became a reality, and I am truly grateful for your kindness and belief in my students.\r\n\r\nI have been able to create and print high-quality, colorful, and engaging literacy materials tailored to my kindergarten students' needs. From decodable readers and phonics activities to anchor charts and Elkonin boxes, these materials have truly brought our lessons to life. As a result, students are developing stronger literacy skills, improving their comprehension, and building a deeper love for reading.\r\n\r\nYour support has also allowed me to extend learning beyond the classroom. I am now able to send home printed reading materials so students can continue practicing their skills with their families. In addition, I have created a classroom word wall that students use daily to practice and strengthen their sight word recognition, helping to build confidence and independence in their reading.

With your donations I was able to purchase a magnetic board, writing journals, pencils, and a door bell. The magnetic board students are able to work on letters and sounds. The writing journals students are able to start writing about what they did over the weekend, over a break, write about a book that we read and just free write. \r\n\r\nMy students were super excited about helping me unboxed the supplies. They were smiling from ear to ear. This project has improved my students in reading and writing skills. We are so thankful. \r\n\r\nOur next classroom project, I would like to do Stem binds.

They are so happy and full of excitement as they are all experiencing it. During our small group activity, they are all using the headphones which could help them concentrate on answering the questions without any disturbance. Thank you so much for your generous donation of headphones, pencils, hand sanitizer, and Zonrox for my students. These items have been extremely useful in our classroom. Every student is using the headphones daily, and they are genuinely happy and excited to have them. The pencils ensure all students are prepared to learn, while the sanitizer and ZoneOx help us maintain a clean and healthy learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe headphones play an important role in how technology supports learning in our classroom. They allow students to focus during digital lessons, listen to instructional videos, participate in online reading programs, and complete assessments without distractions. This helps students work independently and at their own pace. What excites students most is having their own headphones, which makes learning feel special and engaging. Students take pride in using and caring for them.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially benefited from this technology, particularly those who need audio support. English learners and students who need extra reinforcement have become more confident by listening to directions and texts multiple times. Overall, student engagement and focus have noticeably improved. Thank you again for your generosity and for supporting our students' learning and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1761951364709,"projectUrl":"project/pls-listen-to-me/9507076/","projectTitle":"Pls.
