Your contribution will make a real difference in my students' learning and their daily experience at school.

We are truly grateful for your support and belief in our classroom. \r\n\r\nThe new headphones help us in many ways. They allow students to clearly hear instructional videos, audiobooks, and online lessons without distractions from classroom noise. This helps them stay focused, follow directions more independently, and better understand what they are learning. The headphones also make it easier for students to work at their own pace, listen carefully, and feel more confident when using technology for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1754505664175,"projectUrl":"project/new-headphones-for-us/9459179/","projectTitle":"New Headphones for Us","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sheffield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4745754_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1511899662285","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missyates"},{"teacherId":6854420,"projectId":9597168,"letterContent":"The balance beam is a highlight in my students' day! They love setting it up and finding different ways to \"cross the bridge,\" including crawling, walking forwards, backwards, or even sideways. I even have a few students who use the balance beam as a foundation for their block towers, and others who use it as a stepstool to access other materials. \r\nMy kids love sitting in the wobble chairs and moving their bodies during small group instruction.

Each day, students eagerly look forward to exploring the different STEM challenges waiting for them. These buckets have created a calm and welcoming start to our day, giving students time to decompress, connect with friends, and engage in meaningful problem-solving right from the moment they walk into the classroom. It has been wonderful to watch them collaborate, think creatively, and build perseverance as they work through each challenge together.\r\n\r\nThe morning buckets have also helped create a positive classroom routine. Students are excited to arrive at school knowing they will have time to explore and create, and this has set a focused and happy tone for the rest of the day. While they are engaged in these hands-on activities, I am able to check in with individual students, take attendance, and complete our lunch count without interrupting valuable learning time. This structure allows our mornings to run smoothly while ensuring every student begins the day feeling settled, connected, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1762878067012,"projectUrl":"project/start-the-day-off-right/9773480/","projectTitle":"Start the Day Off Right!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Howell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1981872_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1499714302619","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1981872"},{"teacherId":9772557,"projectId":9698285,"letterContent":"The STEM students at Oakdale have been actively engaged in using the supplies you generously donated to our lab, and we wanted to share just how impactful they've been.\r\n\r\nRecently, our students conducted a hands-on chemistry experiment exploring pH using red cabbage. Red cabbage contains a natural pH indicator called anthocyanin, which changes color based on acidity or alkalinity. Using the mortars and pestles you provided, students ground the cabbage with water and then filtered out the vibrant red liquid that served as the foundation for our investigation. With the eye droppers you supplied, they carefully added different solutions to the cabbage indicator and observed dramatic color changes that revealed underlying chemical reactions.\r\n\r\nThe students were deeply connected to this experiment because they had the opportunity to carry out each step themselves. Instead of watching me model the process—or relying on a video—they were able to explore, question, and discover through direct scientific investigation. Their excitement and sense of ownership were remarkable.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enriched our learning environment and allowed us to offer authentic, inquiry-based STEM experiences. Most importantly, you have helped cultivate curiosity, confidence, and a sense of possibility in young learners who are just beginning to imagine themselves in scientific and engineering roles.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their education.
