I have not had ONE pair lose a microphone, ear pad or wire! This is an amazing outcome seeing that the headphones are used by Kinder-5th graders!\r\nOur students are required to spend a minimum of 30 minutes each school day working on Chromebook apps to encourage growth in reading and math. Their voices are recorded and the wear and tear on the school-issued headphones prompted me to write this grant request. These headphones may have seemed a bit expensive for children's use, but the USB connector has been well worth the cost. All of the headsets still have their connectors! \r\nYour constant and unwavering support of Donors Choose is such a blessing to all of us fellow educators.

The students are enjoying the light table manipulatives you provided. While they build with the bricks they are cooperating, using new vocabulary and experimental behaviors. The creations they build are amazing. \r\n\r\nI am also seeing their sorting and counting skills improving as they work cooperatively to complete tasks. Again, their vocabulary is improving but best of all their ability to work together and share ideas. One of our biggest hurdles in PreK is compromising when working together at a task.\r\n\r\nLastly I want to thank you again for supporting my vision for our classroom learning environment.

What started as a dream to create an inclusive, engaging space for students to connect through gaming has now become one of the most anticipated parts of the week for many of our 3rd–5th graders. The materials we received—from the PS5 controller and gaming monitor to LEGO sets, lighting, and even gamer-themed prizes—have transformed our club into a dynamic environment where students not only play, but learn, grow, and shine.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate. Students who were once shy or hesitant to join extracurriculars now have a place where they feel seen and valued. They're collaborating over board games, cheering each other on during video game challenges, and celebrating good sportsmanship with visible pride. One student told me, \"This is the best part of my week. I wish Gaming Club was every day!\" Another has taken a special interest in the streaming microphone, sparking a new curiosity in broadcasting and digital storytelling.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the club is helping students build confidence, communication skills, and strong friendships—especially for those who may not have access to these resources at home. Your contributions helped us create a space where students feel safe to be themselves and excited to learn through play. From all of us at Salk Elementary, thank you for investing in our students' joy, creativity, and future.","fullyFundedDate":1743013422858,"projectUrl":"project/level-up-learning-with-the-eagle-gaming/9097555/","projectTitle":"Level Up Learning With the Eagle Gaming Club!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Blevins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8860473_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y393&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679341198680","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8860473"},{"teacherId":9177232,"projectId":8950006,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation.

Students were so excited to receive the Clorox wipes, goldfish, and Kleenex. They were blown away that someone they didn't know could be so kind to them. They loved writing the thank you letters to show their appreciation. \r\nThey loved munching on the gold fish during math. It helped keep them focused on the math instead of their growling bellies. Since math is before lunch it is always a time when students ask for a snack. It was wonderful being able to provide them with one.\r\nStudents take turns as the classroom desk cleaner. They enjoy using the wipes to clean the spaces. This also helps students stay healthy so they can continue to make it to school everyday. We had the best attendance in the whole school for several months. I attribute this accomplishment in part to the daily use of the Clorox wipes.\r\nStudents also appreciated the Kleenex. It is really challenging to not have a Kleenex when your nose is running and your sneezing. It also helped keep all the germs in the Kleenex instead of their sleeves or hands. This also helped students be a school everyday because it stopped the spread of germs.\r\nI greatly appreciate your donation and so do my students. Thank you for your help!
