These resources provide targeted practice that helps students strengthen critical skills such as identifying main ideas, making inferences, and supporting answers with text evidence. Having structured, engaging materials allows students to build confidence step by step, and I've seen them become more thoughtful and independent readers as a result.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the sharpeners you provided may seem like a small supply, but they have had a big impact on our daily routines. Students are able to keep their pencils ready without long interruptions, which helps maintain focus and instructional time. Something as simple as a working sharpener promotes responsibility and keeps learning moving smoothly throughout the day.\r\n\r\nTogether, these supplies have helped create a more organized, productive, and supportive learning environment. Your kindness supports both the big academic goals and the small everyday needs that make a classroom run successfully. Thank you for investing in my students' growth and helping set them up for success each day.","fullyFundedDate":1767214759454,"projectUrl":"project/read-between-the-shavings/9842622/","projectTitle":"Read Between the Shavings","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7030461_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1576606376877","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7030461"},{"teacherId":7030461,"projectId":9843527,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom library is now filled with books specifically chosen to support neurodivergent learners, including students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other learning differences. These books provide accessible text formats, engaging visuals, supportive fonts, and content that meets students where they are. For many of my students, this is the first time they have been able to pick up a book and feel confident rather than overwhelmed. That sense of accessibility has made a powerful difference in their willingness to read and participate.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also helped create a more inclusive learning environment where students feel seen and supported. Having materials that reflect their learning needs sends a strong message: their brains are not \"less than,\" just different. I have already seen students show greater persistence, improved comprehension, and more pride in their work. They are more eager to engage in reading activities because the books are designed in ways that reduce frustration and build success.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these books are helping to rebuild confidence. When students who have struggled with reading or math-related concepts experience success, it changes how they see themselves as learners. Your support has provided tools that promote independence, self-esteem, and growth.

What might seem like a small tool has made a huge difference in how they learn each day. Students are now able to focus on individual assignments without outside distractions, whether they are listening to audiobooks, completing online lessons, practicing language skills, or watching instructional videos. The ability to clearly hear and concentrate has helped them stay more engaged and confident in their work.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have also allowed me to better differentiate instruction. Students can move at their own pace, revisit lessons when needed, and receive personalized support through digital resources without feeling self-conscious. For many of my students, this has created a more comfortable and supportive learning experience. I've seen an increase in independence, improved comprehension, and greater enthusiasm during technology-based activities.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation has helped create a calmer, more productive classroom atmosphere. Students are more focused, on-task, and excited to learn. Your kindness has directly impacted their daily experience and academic growth, and we are truly grateful for your support.

The texts are structured to reduce frustration and build confidence, allowing students to focus on understanding and enjoyment rather than feeling overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now looks more inclusive and supportive. Students have access to books that meet them where they are, whether they are reading independently, in small groups, or during quiet reading time. The flexible formats, clear layouts, and engaging content have helped students stay focused longer and participate more actively in discussions about what they read.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously avoided reading are now some of the most enthusiastic participants. Students with dyslexia are excited to choose books they can successfully read on their own, while students with dyscalculia are benefiting from texts that connect reading to math concepts in a clear, supportive way. These books have helped my students feel capable, valued, and proud of their progress, and that confidence is carrying over into all areas of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764774813526,"projectUrl":"project/breaking-barriers-building-minds/9908101/","projectTitle":"Breaking Barriers, Building Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7030461_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1576606376877","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7030461"},{"teacherId":9622275,"projectId":9693728,"letterContent":"My students felt extremely excited and happy to see all the new resources we now have in our classroom. They were especially surprised to see that I can laminate many more of our activities, which means their favorite centers and practice sheets will last much longer. They were also thrilled about the new art supplies—several students immediately began imagining the crafts and projects they could create with all the colors, textures, and materials now available to them.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the new resources during our art class and crafts. One special moment happened during our art block, when students worked together to create a class collage using the new papers and craft tools. They were so proud of their work that they asked to display it in the hallway. The laminated activities have also helped them work more independently and confidently during literacy and math centers, since they can reuse materials without worrying about damaging them.\r\n\r\nOur next steps involve expanding our hands-on learning projects using these supplies. Students will soon begin a unit where they create their own mini-books and craft projects to show what they've learned, and the new resources will make these experiences more meaningful and creative. Your generosity has truly opened the door to more engaging, durable, and joyful learning in our classroom.
