Students didn't know where to put them or how to find the correct cord to charge. In their search, cords were often pulled out of outlets, so devices weren't actually charging even when plugged in. It created confusion, wasted time, and constant frustration for both students and myself. Managing technology felt more like managing chaos.\r\n\r\nThe very first day the laptop station arrived, I opened the box and immediately organized our devices. Since then, everything has changed. Students now know exactly where to find and return their laptops, and charging is no longer an issue. The process is seamless, cutting down wait and transition times while keeping devices consistently ready to use. This station has been a true life saver — bringing organization to our classroom and giving me peace of mind, while helping students be more independent and efficient with their technology.","fullyFundedDate":1755649169743,"projectUrl":"project/powering-up-our-learning-a-charging-sta/9622883/","projectTitle":"Powering Up Our Learning: A Charging Station for Student Laptops","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crump","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5374440_orig.jpg?crop=215,215,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726446754687","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-crump"},{"teacherId":7520174,"projectId":8712263,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, our classroom has been transformed in the most unexpected and delightful way—with the addition of two class turtles!

Students eagerly observe their feeding and cleaning routines, often initiating conversations about their habits and habitat. Their presence has naturally fostered empathy, patience, and a sense of shared responsibility among the children.\r\n\r\nEvery day, students greet the turtles with enthusiasm, and saying goodbye has become part of our classroom ritual. Occasionally, when the turtles explore the room, the students light up with excitement as they interact gently and respectfully with them.
