Donating to my project has allowed my students to have more immediate access to books within the classroom that may not be in the library or may have a waiting list. I have never had so many books flying off my shelves! Not to mention how excited they were that the books were in such great condition! They were able to take these books with their lights and cushions and find a comfy spot around the room to read and just enjoy reading for pleasure rather than for comprehension.","fullyFundedDate":1739372338211,"projectUrl":"project/shine-a-light-on-reading/9001179/","projectTitle":"Shine a Light on Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peeples","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7259758_orig.jpg?crop=1563,1563,x398,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778509735695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7259758"},{"teacherId":7259758,"projectId":10091990,"letterContent":"My students were so very thankful to receive the snacks and playground equipment. Having this new equipment has allowed students to not only get exercise while at recess, but to form new peer groups and teams based on mutual interests. It has been great to see new friendships form and others allowing students to play that typically wouldn't play with them.\r\nThe snacks were a great way to reward students for effort and growth, and of course also allowed bellies to be full throughout the day! Many students in our district are low income and do not have the ability to bring snacks to school.","fullyFundedDate":1770744469700,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-restock/10091990/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set, Restock!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peeples","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7259758_orig.jpg?crop=1563,1563,x398,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778509735695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7259758"},{"teacherId":9386823,"projectId":10097311,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students now have access to a classroom set of headphones, and the impact has been immediate. In today's classroom, technology is used for much more than just typing—it allows students to work at their own pace, receive immediate feedback, and access interactive lessons tailored to their needs. With headphones, students can fully engage in these programs without distractions, whether they are listening to reading passages, watching instructional videos, or completing skill-based activities.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been the ability to \"tune in\" to their own learning. They love having a sense of independence and ownership, and something as simple as putting on headphones helps them focus and feel more responsible for their work. It has also created a calmer classroom environment where everyone can concentrate.\r\n\r\nI have noticed several students, especially those who are easily distracted or benefit from auditory support, show significant improvement in focus and confidence. These students are more engaged, complete more assignments, and are proud of their progress.
