This simple tool has already made a huge difference in helping them feel more confident and independent in their work.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing to see the smiles on their faces as they plug in, tune in, and dive into their lessons. Whether they're practicing reading fluency, exploring vocabulary games, or listening to videos to enhance what they are reading, these headphones are empowering them to learn in ways that meet their unique needs.

Because of your donation, my students were able to fully experience the excitement of running their own businesses and making real-world economic decisions.\r\n\r\nMarket Day was an incredible success! Students worked hard to create and sell their own products, and with their profits, they had the opportunity to shop at my classroom store—made possible by your support. The Pop-it balls were a huge hit, and many students loved the mini Lego boxes. One student was so excited that he couldn't wait to show me a picture of the Lego creation he built! Watching their faces light up as they carefully decided how to spend their hard-earned money was truly rewarding.\r\n\r\nBeyond the fun, this project taught them essential skills about budgeting, making economic choices, and weighing costs and benefits—all in a hands-on, engaging way. The knowledge they gained will stick with them for years to come, shaping how they make financial decisions in the future.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this unforgettable learning experience. Your kindness and generosity have made a lasting impact, and I know my students will carry these lessons with them for a long time.","fullyFundedDate":1727963996249,"projectUrl":"project/economics-market-day-motivation/8844951/","projectTitle":"Economics Market Day Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Muhlenkamp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8180001_orig.jpg?crop=631,631,x1436,y413&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673028972482","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8180001"},{"teacherId":7901736,"projectId":8968383,"letterContent":"The chairs you provided are allowing students to not have to sit in their normal seats all day long.

I have wrapped these books so they can't just pick someone they already know about. I want to encourage them to learn about someone new.
