Your generosity has truly helped us create a calmer, more supportive learning environment for our students.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I invest a great deal of time, energy, and often personal funds to make sure my students have what they need—whether it's snacks or classroom supplies. Your thoughtful contribution not only helps meet those needs, but also reminds us that our classroom community is supported and valued. That means more than you know.\r\n\r\nThe students use the headphones every single day. They listen to audiobooks and educational content on Epic, and having high-quality headphones for everyone has made an incredible difference. Earlier in the year, with 15+ students listening to books or videos at the same time without headphones, our classroom could easily become overstimulating. Now, every student has access to their own headphones, which allows for focused, distraction-free learning.\r\n\r\nThe sticky notes have also been put to great use! I use them to organize small group materials and mark notebook pages. Students use them during lessons to write responses and share ideas. For example, during our opinion writing unit, students wrote their opinions about video games on sticky notes and placed them on chart paper to share with the class. They absolutely love this interactive approach—it makes learning hands-on and engaging.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the snacks ensure that students can focus on learning without worrying about being hungry. That support is invaluable.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to supporting our students and teachers. Your donation has made a meaningful impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1762893151448,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-focused-and-nourishing-learni/9770044/","projectTitle":"Creating a Focused and Nourishing Learning Space for My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gaede","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10178869"},{"teacherId":6191135,"projectId":9794624,"letterContent":"We would like to take this time thank you once again for giving us a space to relax, kick off our shoes and enjoy these great items that we have because of your generous giving.

Meeting grade level standards is not always obtainable at the beginning of the year and if that is the only thing I focused on I would set some of my students up for an immediate shut down.
