The professional batting tee and stance trainer mat are helping players develop consistent mechanics, balance, and muscle memory—critical skills for hitters at all experience levels.\r\n\r\nOur pitching mat has given pitchers a consistent surface to refine stride length, release point, and mechanics. Meanwhile, the Fielder's Dome has added an exciting and challenging element to defensive drills, improving reaction time and hand-eye coordination. These tools are allowing beginner athletes to learn proper fundamentals while challenging advanced athletes to sharpen their competitive edge.\r\n\r\nThe base set and ball caddy have improved organization and efficiency, allowing us to focus more time on skill development and less time on setup and transition.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our athletes are training with purpose. Players who are new to the game are developing confidence and foundational skills, while experienced athletes are pushing themselves to higher levels of performance and leadership.\r\n\r\nYou have helped us move from simply practicing to practicing with intention and excellence.

Instead of losing valuable time due to weather, we are now building skills year-round.\r\n\r\nThe batting tees have been especially impactful for our developing players. Beginners are able to slow the game down and focus on mechanics, building proper fundamentals and confidence. At the same time, more advanced athletes are using the tees for targeted swing adjustments and consistency work.\r\n\r\nThe wrist sleeves for play calls have improved communication and organization during both practices and games. Our athletes are learning to think strategically and execute with clarity. The tall buckets have also helped streamline our practices, keeping equipment organized and maximizing repetitions.\r\n\r\nThis equipment is helping athletes at all levels. New players are gaining confidence in a safe environment, while experienced players are refining technique and leadership skills.

Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in our daily learning.\r\n\r\nFor our students, headphones are not just a classroom supply — they are a tool for independence, focus, and success.\r\n\r\nMany of our learners have individual special needs that make it difficult to concentrate in a busy classroom environment. Background noise, movement, and transitions can easily become overwhelming. These headphones help reduce distractions and create a calmer, more controlled learning experience. With noise-canceling support, students are better able to focus on educational programs, listening activities, speech work, and individualized lessons tailored to their needs.\r\n\r\nFor some of our families, purchasing a brand-new pair of headphones simply isn't financially feasible. Because of your generosity, every student now has access to their own personal set. This not only eases the burden on families, but also allows each child to have something that belongs just to them — which builds responsibility and pride.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular was beyond excited to choose his own pair — in his favorite color! In the past, he was never very interested in using headphones and often needed reminders. Now, he independently grabs his own pair without being prompted. That sense of ownership and excitement has been such a joy to witness. What may seem like a small item has sparked independence and motivation in a big way.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. You are supporting focus, reducing anxiety, encouraging independence, and creating equitable access to essential learning tools.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your support and for believing in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1771790165008,"projectUrl":"project/clear-sound-calm-minds-headphones-for/10069541/","projectTitle":"Clear Sound, Calm Minds: Headphones for Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Denning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5328786_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701109716282","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5328786"},{"teacherId":5328786,"projectId":10069453,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our classroom now has a beautiful new rug that truly transformed our space. From the moment my students walked in and saw it, their faces lit up. Several of them immediately said, \"It feels so cozy in here!\" and one student even shared, \"It feels like home.\" That is exactly the feeling I hoped to create — a warm, inviting place where every child feels safe, comfortable, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWe use our classroom rug every single day. It has become our gathering space for morning meetings, read-alouds, small-group discussions, partner sharing, and celebrating accomplishments. Having a clean, comfortable space allows all of my students to sit together, focus, and engage more fully in our lessons. It has already helped build stronger classroom community because everyone has a special spot where they belong.\r\n\r\nAs we continue learning and growing together, the rug will remain at the heart of our classroom. We are beginning new literacy circles and collaborative math talks, and this welcoming space allows us to come together, share ideas, and think deeply.

Students were able to practice phonics skills, high-frequency words, and comprehension strategies using books that were appropriate for their learning needs. As a result, I saw increased reading confidence, improved fluency, and stronger independence during literacy centers and guided reading.\r\n\r\nOur new read-aloud books helped create powerful classroom conversations about friendship, kindness, perseverance, and understanding others.

The colored paper has also been a wonderful resource for special announcements and student projects, making learning activities more engaging and visually exciting for my students.\r\n\r\nIn addition to supporting instruction, these resources have saved valuable time.
