The headphones have provided students with the opportunity to focus, listen to instructional content, and work independently at their own pace without distractions. This has been especially helpful during small-group instruction and digital learning, allowing each child to access lessons in a way that best meets their needs.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options and educational resources have also made a powerful impact. Students are more comfortable, motivated, and engaged as they choose seating that helps them concentrate and learn effectively. The new resources have enriched our lessons, making learning more hands-on, interactive, and accessible for all learners. Your generosity has created a more inclusive, supportive, and inspiring learning environment, and we are truly grateful for the difference you have made in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764000774335,"projectUrl":"project/focus-flex-and-flourish/9822793/","projectTitle":"Focus, Flex, and Flourish!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hartman & Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4733898_orig.jpg?crop=761,761,x388,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760360367401","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4733898"},{"teacherId":2364084,"projectId":9912048,"letterContent":"This project made a big difference in our classroom. My students are at an important point in their reading development, and we spend a lot of time each day working on phonics—tapping out sounds, building words, and practicing new spelling patterns. Whiteboards are a huge part of that work because they allow students to try, erase, and try again without worrying about mistakes.\r\n\r\nBefore this project, our whiteboards and supplies were in rough shape. Many boards were scratched or stained, markers dried out quickly, and erasers were often missing or didn't work well. This made it harder for students to fully participate and sometimes caused frustration during lessons.\r\n\r\nOnce we received the new whiteboards, markers, and erasers, participation immediately improved. Every student had the tools they needed to write sounds, blend words, and show their thinking during our phonics block. The magnetic word-building materials were especially helpful, giving students a hands-on way to move letters around and build words while practicing phonics and decoding skills.\r\n\r\nThese materials were used every day and helped create a smoother, more positive learning environment. When students had supplies that worked well, they were more confident, more willing to take risks, and more engaged in their learning. This project truly supported my students as they grew into stronger, more confident readers.","fullyFundedDate":1764099004751,"projectUrl":"project/mark-erase-repeat-phonics-tools-for/9912048/","projectTitle":"“Mark, Erase, Repeat: Phonics Tools for the Classroom”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Robosky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wamig"},{"teacherId":5812232,"projectId":9652727,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom now receives Scholastic News, and it has already transformed the way my students read and think about the world around them. \r\n\r\nWith these nonfiction texts, my students are learning key literacy skills that are difficult to teach using storybooks alone. We focus on important reading strategies such as identifying main ideas, using text features like captions and diagrams, and learning new academic vocabulary.\r\n\r\nReading time has become one of our favorite parts of the day.

First graders thrive when materials are easy to reach, and these organizers give each student a spot for their math tools—whiteboards, pencils, counters, and number lines. Instead of losing time searching for supplies, students grab what they need and get to work right away.
