Because of your donation, students now have a more calming, inviting classroom. This is important because many of my students experience poverty, trauma, and challenging experiences in life. Having a calming classroom helps students feel ready to participate in the school setting.\r\n\r\nMy students love the light covers, lamp, and floor cushions to sit on. Even the students that are learning how to manage their emotions better enjoy the items that you helped purchase.

The Chromebook charging cart has been very helpful with organizing our classroom space, including the charging area. Before, we had many messy cables and bins. Chromebooks were more susceptible to being damaged, lost, or simply uncharged. \r\n\r\nNow, because of this technology, all Chromebooks are charged and managed in a clean and efficient way. There are fewer instances of students having dead Chromebooks. Thank you again, it has been so helpful with classroom management. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, this has allowed students to develop a sense of responsibility because there are two students who are the \"Chromebook managers\". Their classroom job is to exclusively use the charging cart to make sure it is being used correctly.","fullyFundedDate":1746785888388,"projectUrl":"project/charged-organized-ready-to-go/9294293/","projectTitle":"Charged, Organized, Ready to Go!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9810207_orig.jpg?crop=2555,2555,x0,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729457513902","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9810207"},{"teacherId":9810207,"projectId":8892515,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your donations for our class! My students were shocked that someone would be so generous as to pay money for them to have these supplies when they didn't even know them. Thank you for making these portfolios possible.\r\n\r\nWith the portfolios, students have been tracking their reading fluency progress and math fact fluency progress--both important steps of academic growth. I am nearly completed with a masters degree, and for my research study, I was able to help the English Learner students in my classroom with goal setting. They used the portfolios for that process. I learned that goal setting and tracking their progress greatly helps their self confidence, and you were a big part of making that possible.
