The rolling desk has quickly become a favorite flexible seating option in our classroom. My students love having the opportunity to move the desk around the room and choose a workspace that fits their needs. It's especially helpful for students who focus better while standing or who benefit from a change of scenery during the day.\r\n\r\nThe STEM activities you helped provide have brought so much joy and engagement to my students. These hands-on materials encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity—skills that are essential for success in and out of the classroom. Whether they're building structures or experimenting with cause and effect, my students are learning through play and exploration in ways that stick with them. Thank you for making our classroom more dynamic, inclusive, and fun!","fullyFundedDate":1739372323731,"projectUrl":"project/hearing-every-voice-building-bridges-wi/8998001/","projectTitle":"Hearing Every Voice: Building Bridges with Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9031591_orig.jpg?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729798603405","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/techwithmsspencer"},{"teacherId":9031591,"projectId":8915013,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of headphones with microphones for my technology classroom. Your gift has already made a huge difference for my kindergarten through 5th-grade students, transforming how they learn and interact with technology.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a game-changer for students who need directions read to them. With the ability to hear instructions as many times as needed, they now have the freedom and independence to work at their own pace, building their confidence and problem-solving skills. The addition of the microphones has also been invaluable for students who struggle to put their thoughts into written words. They've discovered they can dictate their ideas, which helps them express themselves more clearly and stay engaged in their work.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is how these tools make learning feel more accessible and personal. Many of my students who often hesitate to write have started eagerly dictating their thoughts into the microphone. These headphones have opened the door for them to feel empowered and capable.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had an immediate and meaningful impact on our classroom, helping students overcome challenges and embrace new ways of learning. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your kindness and for believing in the power of technology to support young learners.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1732909178953,"projectUrl":"project/hear-to-learn-durable-headphones-for-ev/8915013/","projectTitle":"Hear to Learn: Durable Headphones for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9031591_orig.jpg?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729798603405","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/techwithmsspencer"},{"teacherId":9031591,"projectId":8900959,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, the wireless mice have had an incredible impact on my K-5 technology classroom. These tools have transformed how my students interact with technology, making it easier for them to develop essential computer skills. Younger students now approach tasks like clicking, dragging, and dropping with confidence, as the mice are far more intuitive and comfortable for their small hands than touchpads. Older students can focus on learning advanced skills, such as coding and creating digital presentations, without the frustration of imprecise touchpad navigation. This has allowed them to engage more deeply with their work and experience greater success.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in my classroom is contagious! Students are thrilled by how smooth and responsive the wireless mice are, and they love the freedom of using modern, untethered technology. For many, the mice make learning fun and approachable, transforming once-daunting tasks into opportunities for creativity and exploration. Whether they're coding, designing digital art, or navigating new software, the wireless mice have become indispensable tools for unlocking their potential.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming outcomes has been seeing particular students thrive. For my kindergarten students who previously struggled with fine motor skills has gained newfound independence and confidence using the wireless mice. For my older students, the mice have streamlined complex tasks, allowing them to focus on creativity and problem-solving. Your donation has truly made a difference, empowering all my students to approach technology with enthusiasm and setting them up for future success in our digital world.
