Your generosity has transformed our classroom into one where English Language Learners can see themselves in the books they read and actually want to pick up. \r\n\r\nThese books are in constant circulation. Students read them when they finish assignments, after school, and even over the weekend. A few students have told me that they are reading the stories to their younger brothers and sisters so that they don't struggle as much with English.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, literacy in our classroom is no longer just an academic requirement. It is becoming a shared experience that unites the walls of my classroom with the families' homes.","fullyFundedDate":1768193607781,"projectUrl":"project/reading-library/10008926/","projectTitle":"Reading Library","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Hazzard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9351089_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y816&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704767523180","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9351089"},{"teacherId":8169516,"projectId":10008773,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, these resources have already made a meaningful difference for my students. The noise-cancelling headphones have been especially helpful in creating a calm, private space for students during counseling sessions, court-related meetings, or moments when they need to reset emotionally. Many students come to school feeling overwhelmed or distracted, and having the ability to block out noise allows them to focus, practice breathing exercises, or engage in mindfulness activities in a way that feels safe and supportive. This technology has become an important tool in helping students regulate their emotions and fully participate in the support services available to them.\r\n\r\nStudents have also been incredibly excited about the image printer and fidget tools, which have brought creativity and comfort into our counseling space. The printer allows students to create visual projects, reflect on goals, and express feelings in ways that go beyond words, which is especially powerful for students who struggle to open up. Several students have already warmed to these new tools, using fidgets to stay grounded during difficult conversations or using printed images as part of self-expression and memory-building activities. These materials are helping students feel empowered, engaged, and cared for, and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact you have made in their daily lives.","fullyFundedDate":1768405350722,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-stay-calm-focused-and/10008773/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Stay Calm, Focused, and Creative","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valenzuela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8169516_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1636401267896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8169516"},{"teacherId":9387810,"projectId":10007635,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation.

It was truly a special moment to see their faces light up as they realized the possibilities the new resources brought. We immediately began using the materials to create a model of a mini Las Vegas city, allowing students to actively engage with the lesson. Through hands-on activities, they investigated the impacts of urbanization on Las Vegas, a unique desert city, and explored how these changes affect the environment and the interconnectedness of Earth's systems.\r\n\r\nThis project has sparked a deeper interest in environmental science among my students.
