The accessibility supplies I received at the end of last school year were put to use immediately and will be used more widely this coming school year. \r\n\r\nHaving headphones means I do not have to ask classroom teachers to send their classroom headphones (if they are fortunate enough to have them) to the library with their students, where they might get lost or dropped along the way. This means for classrooms where headphones are supplied by individual families, there are not \"haves and have nots\" when it comes to accessing audio material in the library. The headphones are simply here, available for use. \r\n\r\nThe color sticks are such a nice, mess free way for students to color and express themselves. No peeling paper, no dried out markers. \r\n\r\nThe duplos were an instant hit with our special education students and our K4 students. \r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1778061992182,"projectUrl":"project/accessibility-supplies/10220904/","projectTitle":"Accessibility Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schmidt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8178289_orig.png?crop=397,397,x0,y64&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762534676788","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8178289"},{"teacherId":8178289,"projectId":9882738,"letterContent":"I am so grateful to have the book displays that you brought to our space by funding this project.

Our oversized non-fiction books are better cared for now that they are not sticking so far off of the regular shelves. \r\n\r\nDisplays are such an important part of library book promotion and circulation. Seeing the cover of a book, rather that just it's spine, really makes kids curious about the book. There is not a lot of display space in our library, so I have to be creative.

While many of my students previously struggled to access grade-level texts, these books allow them to engage with rich storylines while practicing essential skills such as making predictions, identifying key details, building vocabulary, and improving fluency. Because the content is interesting and relatable, students are more willing to take risks as readers and persist through challenges, which is something we work hard to build every day.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become a much more interactive and student-centered experience. You might see small groups gathered together discussing a chapter, students using graphic organizers to track characters and events, or partners taking turns reading aloud to build fluency and expression. We also pause frequently to ask questions, make connections, and reflect on what we've read. These routines help students not only understand the text but also develop a deeper love of reading and storytelling.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once reluctant readers are now some of the most excited participants during reading time. One student, in particular, who used to avoid books altogether now eagerly asks to take them home and share them with their family. Others are proudly finishing their first chapter books independently—something they once thought was out of reach. Seeing their excitement, confidence, and growth has been incredibly rewarding, and it would not have been possible without access to these engaging and accessible books.","fullyFundedDate":1767033927547,"projectUrl":"project/reading-connects-building-a-book-commun/9837805/","projectTitle":"Reading Connects: Building a Book Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferguson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2876617_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470009019398","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2876617"},{"teacherId":7062120,"projectId":9594261,"letterContent":"As we opened box after box full of things they didn't realize they needed. There were no Playstation systems and toys being pulled out, but headphones, noise canceling headphones and weighted blankets. Oh, the weighted blankets!\r\nWe had a few bumps getting the materials, so please excuse the delay in telling you how much we appreciate your kindness and generosity in starting our year out right. As expected, many students were not given headphones to use from home, and the ones you donated went right onto the ears of hard-working students and work got done! As the work got more difficult and the lessons moved from reviewing previously learned content to new, kids got squiggly and attention wandered. As student after student donned the noise canceling headphones and weighted blankets, the constant hum that filled the air quieted and the struggle became a mission. \r\nWhen you chose to donate to our classroom, I hope you believed that you were making a difference. I want to tell you that you have made a big difference. You have made it possible for a room of kids to quiet themselves, to calm their internal motor, and to get them learning.
