This classroom of 26 fifth graders have been using the headphones provided on a daily basis. My students were so excited to have a high-quality headphone for use during independent time in my classroom. They've been using their headphones to explore their individual learning in English Language Arts as well as Mathematics. They've enjoyed listening to audio books and improving their Math skills though our independent math program, Dreambox. They're increasing their scores in math through our online platform, Savvas.

Dramatic play encourages imagination while helping children practice empathy and teamwork.

They have made math so much more fun. We have been using them so far to practice addition. My students were so excited when I introduced the Uno cards into math games. They know and love Uno and were so excited to get to use game cards that they recognize in a new fun way! They now even choose the Uno math games when they get free choice. \r\nThis tool has helped increase my student's math fluency in addition. They are practicing and memorizing their addition and subtraction skills. It is happening in such a fun way that they don't even realize that they are learning while having fun. \r\nWe are working on place value now and I plan to make a new game where they can practice this skill as well.

They love to time their sight words to see if they get faster after they practice. They love to time each other as they use math flash cards. We are becoming so much more fluent in both math and reading. My students are having so much fun, they don't even realize that learning is happening.

Thanks to your contributions, we've transformed our classroom into a space where creativity and calm go hand in hand, supporting the growth and well-being of every little learner. With the new art supplies, the children have been able to dive into creative activities that allow them to explore, express themselves, and build fine motor skills. It has been incredible to see their excitement as they use materials they've never had access to before. From painting vibrant pictures to crafting unique creations, their imaginations are running wild!\r\nThe calming corner and sensory items have also made a profound impact. This space is now a haven where children can self-regulate and find peace when feeling overwhelmed. The sensory tools are helping them learn how to manage emotions and practice mindfulness, skills that will benefit them well beyond the classroom.\r\nThank you for being a part of our journey and for believing in the power of education to change lives. Your generosity will ripple out in ways we may never fully see, but the impact is already immeasurable.","fullyFundedDate":1731642861398,"projectUrl":"project/creative-exploration-and-emotional-balan/8617876/","projectTitle":"Creative Exploration and Emotional Balance","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pack","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9643798_orig.jpg?crop=2735,2735,x0,y647&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756008058690","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9643798"},{"teacherId":8072710,"projectId":5833250,"letterContent":"The sensory items that were added to our classroom have made a lasting difference for my students.
