Watching them create and be so proud of their work for a teacher is indescribable\r\nWith them being growing teenagers, always hungry. The students enjoy picking and using their manners when choosing Cheez-Its, goldfish Gummies or Ritz cheese, crackers. The Gummies were their favorite.\r\nA necessity within any classroom is most definitely a good pencil sharpener. The high-quality of X-acto pencil sharpener is used multiple times a day and sharpens the pencil with such a fine point that causes less frustration when the students are trying to write in their journals, letters, and of course their classwork.","fullyFundedDate":1773065472994,"projectUrl":"project/inner-city-autistic-supportlearning-sup/10059683/","projectTitle":"Inner City Autistic Support/Learning Support Classroom Hungry and Working","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Oestereich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8944326"},{"teacherId":2462439,"projectId":9898123,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the headphone donations.

By reducing background noise, headphones allow students to concentrate on their own work without being distracted by conversations, movement, or other classroom sounds. This is especially helpful in busy learning environments where multiple activities may be happening at the same time. When children can clearly hear instructions, videos, or learning programs, they are better able to stay engaged and understand the content.\r\n\r\nHeadphones are also a powerful support for students with diverse learning needs. For children with ADHD, sensory sensitivities, or English language development needs, headphones can help regulate sensory input and create a calmer learning experience. They allow students to work at their own pace, listen to directions more than once, and build independence during small-group or independent work time.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, headphones support equitable access to learning by making technology-based instruction more effective. Students can listen to read-alouds, phonics programs, or educational videos without disrupting others, which helps maintain a respectful and productive classroom environment. Overall, headphones are a simple but valuable tool that promotes focus, inclusion, and meaningful learning for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1762265991493,"projectUrl":"project/tune-in-to-learning/9653813/","projectTitle":"Tune in to Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gilbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8556572"},{"teacherId":9974160,"projectId":9688287,"letterContent":"The kids really enjoy seeing new colors every morning when they come in.

We make candles and soaps in a shared home economics classroom. We used the P touch label maker to mark which cabinets are ours, as sometimes things grow legs in that room.
