The earbuds, sheet protectors, and marbles you donated have had an immediate and meaningful impact on our students' learning experience. I wanted to share how each item is making a difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe earbuds you provided are essential tools for our students when using Chromebooks. They help each student focus on completing individualized math assignments at their own pace, allowing for more personalized learning and development. Earbuds also make it possible to provide important accommodations during computer-based testing, supporting students who benefit from a quieter, more focused testing environment or need parts of the testing read to them.\r\n\r\nIn our English Language Arts (ELA) lessons, the donated marbles have become an exciting part of our curriculum. After reading a novel set in 1910, where playing marbles was a favorite pastime, students were thrilled to learn the game themselves. This hands-on activity has deepened their understanding of the book, sparked lively discussions about history, and encouraged collaboration and teamwork in our class.\r\n\r\nThe sheet protectors you donated are currently being used to display vocabulary words throughout our classroom in a variety of subjects. This creates a visually engaging learning space where students can continually reference and reinforce key terms. It has not only expanded their vocabulary but also helped them connect concepts across different areas of study.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided our students with resources that enrich their education every day. We are truly grateful for your kindness. Thank you for investing in our classroom and for making a lasting impact on our students' learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1756850850861,"projectUrl":"project/usbe-ai-for-k12-education/9653149/","projectTitle":"USBE AI for K–12 Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bostock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5989206_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539828744093","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5989206"},{"teacherId":3277451,"projectId":9102892,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of books to our 4th grade class!
