My students are on edmentum and a lot of students are able to pass two to three lessons a week because they are focused in on the lessons. Also, it has cut noise in my room so that students can stay focused on the assignments. I would like to thank you for the head phones. One last thing, it is very good for helping to organize my groups because every group has the same headphones. Students use them for all of there activities that are on their chromebook.","fullyFundedDate":1749563581291,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-to-help-increase-test-scores/9108340/","projectTitle":"Headphones to Help Increase Test Scores Using Edmentum","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bowles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9921129"},{"teacherId":9647151,"projectId":8624735,"letterContent":"I appreciate all the support that you have given me and my students. We have really enjoyed the whiteboards for engaging activities such as math talks and to create words based on our weekly phonics sounds. We also have enjoyed our social emotional task card lessons to help students with regulating their emotions in the classroom. In addition, my students really enjoyed the pop its for our prize bin. The positive incentive really has allowed my students to show more positive behavior and work hard academically!

Your support has given my students the opportunity to explore science in a hands-on and engaging way.\r\nWhen they first saw the materials, their excitement was undeniable! It's been amazing to see their curiosity grow as they take ownership of their learning\r\nLooking ahead, my students are using these materials to explore ecosystems in ways that go beyond the textbook. They are conducting experiments, making observations, and drawing conclusions—gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them. Thanks to you, they are not just reading about science; they are experiencing it firsthand.\r\nThank you for being a part of our classroom and making these moments possible!","fullyFundedDate":1731530169690,"projectUrl":"project/explore-and-engage-kits/8631978/","projectTitle":"Explore and Engage Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. James","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6951155_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1681813935108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6951155"},{"teacherId":3291019,"projectId":8598195,"letterContent":"My students love receiving the stickers and erasers. I appreciate having these materials to reward students for their hard work. \r\n\r\nThe students have loved using the erasable highlighters during instructional time. They also use the Expo Markers daily on their whiteboards to display their knowledge of the content they are learning. \r\n\r\nThe \"handwriting line stamp\" has been a game changer to provide support to my younger learners during writing instruction. I use the cardstock paper daily to create visual aids and vocabulary cards. \r\n\r\nI am so excited to use the \"Hispanic Heritage Month\" decorations and I cannot wait to display it on my bulletin board to celebrate my students.

As I began unboxing them and describing what we would be using the materials for, they asked when we would start. My students work towards earning their green lights each day- when they have earned it they get to choose from one of the alternate seating for the remainder of the math time. This has encouraged them to work hard and stay on task so they can get the seat of their choice first.\r\n\r\nMy students also earn tickets as rewards for positive behavior throughout the school (in class, in the hall, with subs, etc.). They use their tickets to purchase the trinkets from our class store. This helps to ensure they stay on task, participate in class, and follow directions. We cannot thank you enough for your kind donations as it has helped each student continue to strive for excellence.","fullyFundedDate":1723635764807,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-learning-through-flexible-seat/8594419/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Learning Through Flexible Seating, STEAM Toys, Treasure Box Prizes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9571491_orig.jpg?crop=1856,1856,x32,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723125975363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9571491"},{"teacherId":9374767,"projectId":8594296,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous support and donations for the legos and other hands on manipulatives for my classroom. Hands on kinesthetic learning is very important to young learning and minds. Students learn team work and they learn how important it is to follow directions to complete the task at hand. Working with their hands and learning that hand, eye coordination along with thinking the process and seeing the results is an important part of learning. \r\n\r\nMy students were super excited to use the legos and build little projects. They have been waiting patiently and earning points for this day. It finally arrived and their creations are on display proudly in our classroom. \r\n\r\nI would like to thank the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation and friends and community members that donated for this project so my students can have that hand to brain learning. Students need to see and learn just how their school work will help them complete tasks. Following directions and Math are an intrical part of learning.
