Thanks to your generosity, my students now have comfortable, supportive seating during our intervention and testing sessions. This may seem like a small change, but it has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment. Students are able to focus more fully on their work when they are comfortable, and it has truly enhanced their ability to engage with lessons without distraction. \r\nThese chairs have transformed our intervention space into a welcoming area where students feel supported and ready to learn. Whether they are practicing new skills, participating in small group instruction, or working through assessments, they now have seating that allows them to sit confidently and comfortably. I've already noticed an increase in focus, stamina, and overall student morale during these important learning moments.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in their success. Your kindness and support have had a direct and positive impact on our classroom, and my students and I are deeply appreciative. This project would not have been possible without you, and we are so thankful for your commitment to education.","fullyFundedDate":1764706346857,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-chairs/9623583/","projectTitle":"We Need Chairs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4294892_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705452348792","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lori-ganetowilliams"},{"teacherId":4939486,"projectId":9894399,"letterContent":"We are all so grateful for your generosity!

They were so grateful to have headphones that weren't broken, like many of the ones that were left over from the year before were.\r\n\r\n Amira is a program that I use in my English Language Development class and it requires that students speak into the computer. Headphones with microphones made this program much easier for my students. The students also take a test called WIDA ACCESS that tests their ability to read, write and speak in English. They will be taking this test in January and I am grateful that they will have the tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nThe students also use a program called i-Ready. This program helps them develop their comprehension and basic English skills. It is an interactive and adaptive program that meets the students at their level. These headphones also help them access this program as some of it involves listening.\r\n\r\nOver all, your donation will continue to make a lasting impression on the education of my students and for that we are very grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757904801929,"projectUrl":"project/listening-and-learning/9711458/","projectTitle":"Listening and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maigret","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10259162"},{"teacherId":4294892,"projectId":9815317,"letterContent":"We can hear our VISTA lessons on the computer!!
