The materials we received have made a huge difference in both the organization of our learning space and the quality of our students' educational experiences.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful additions to our classroom has been the seat sacks. These simple, yet incredibly effective tools have allowed my students to keep their materials organized and easily accessible. By having a designated space for their books, notebooks, and supplies, students are able to stay focused and save time during lessons. They no longer waste precious minutes digging through their desks, and this has created a smoother and more efficient workflow in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe headphones we received have also been a game changer, especially for our students who use Chromebooks for individualized learning. With each student now having their own pair of headphones, they can concentrate on their online assignments without distractions, which has been particularly helpful during lessons involving educational videos or reading comprehension exercises. This resource has truly made a difference in helping all students engage with the digital content at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThe gel pens and paper we received have inspired my students to dive deeper into their creativity. In particular, they have used these tools to create vibrant, colorful posters for group projects, such as a recent science fair project on the water cycle. The gel pens made their diagrams and charts stand out, helping them take pride in their work and communicate their ideas clearly.\r\n\r\nFinally, the whiteboards have been an invaluable resource during math lessons. With daily practice on multiplication and division problems, students are able to get instant feedback. They are more confident when solving problems, as they can easily write, erase, and try again. During our recent math unit, students worked in pairs to solve a series of division problems on their whiteboards, and they were able to give each other immediate feedback and support.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was contagious! They couldn't wait to dive in and start using their new headphones and seat sacks. They were especially thrilled by the gel pens, often remarking that their projects would \"look way cooler\" now. The whiteboards were immediately put to use as students eagerly practiced math problems with a sense of pride and accomplishment.\r\n\r\nIn short, these resources have not only helped improve our organization and efficiency in the classroom, but they have also fostered a love for learning and a sense of ownership over their work. The positive impact is evident in my students' increased confidence, engagement, and excitement about learning each day.\r\n\r\nThank you to all who contributed to making this project a reality. You've truly helped my students shine!","fullyFundedDate":1760741557104,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-thrive-helping-my-4th-graders/9811548/","projectTitle":"Tools to Thrive: Helping My 4th Graders Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hunsaker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2921154_orig.jpg?crop=1310,1310,x95,y27&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663623750836","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2921154"},{"teacherId":2058573,"projectId":9935490,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our kindergarten classroom has become a place where big ideas and little hands work together. The 3D printer has opened the door to meaningful, hands-on STEAM learning for my 17 students and has helped them see technology in a whole new way. Many of my students are familiar with technology at home for games or videos, but in our classroom they are learning that technology can also be used to design, create, and solve problems. They are building early engineering skills as they plan projects, make predictions, and watch their digital ideas turn into real objects they can hold and explore.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is the magic of the process. When the printer starts, the room fills with curiosity and wonder. Students gather around to watch layer by layer as their creation comes to life, asking questions, making observations, and cheering when a print is finished. Seeing something they helped design appear right in front of them makes learning feel real and meaningful, and it has sparked countless conversations about how things are made and why they work.\r\n\r\nThis technology has been especially powerful for students who learn best by doing. Some children who are typically quiet or struggle with traditional classroom tasks have found confidence through the 3D printer. They proudly explain how it works, share ideas for future creations, and support their classmates during the process. Because of your support, my students don't just see themselves as kindergarteners—they see themselves as creators, thinkers, and problem solvers. Thank you for helping make learning come alive in our classroom and for giving my students the chance to dream, create, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1764690499710,"projectUrl":"project/3d-dreams-handson-steam-creations-for/9935490/","projectTitle":"3D Dreams: Hands‑On STEAM Creations for Kindergarten Makers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shimono","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2058573_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733113914711","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2058573"},{"teacherId":8640190,"projectId":9898363,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our kindergarten classroom.
