Students are using them during whole-group lessons, independent work time, and small-group instruction to help regulate focus and manage energy. One powerful moment occurred during a writing lesson when a student who often struggles to stay seated was able to remain engaged and complete an extended response while using a fidget. These tools have helped students channel their movement in productive ways so they can fully participate in learning.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the fidget toys, they were thrilled and eager to use them responsibly. We had thoughtful conversations about how fidgets are tools and not toys and students took that responsibility seriously. Many students expressed that the fidgets helped them feel calmer, more focused, and confident during lessons. The excitement quickly turned into pride as students learned how to self-manage and choose the fidget that best supports their learning.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, students are continuing to build independence and self-regulation skills as we work through challenging math concepts and written responses that require sustained attention. These fidget tools are supporting students as they practice perseverance, focus, and collaboration during lessons. Thanks to your support, our classroom is a more inclusive learning environment where every student has the tools they need to be successful.

We use the snacks during lessons that require sustained focus, such as small-group instruction, test preparation, and extended reading and writing activities. One meaningful moment that stands out was during a challenging math lesson, students were able to stay focused, participate more confidently, and work through problems without being distracted by hunger. The snacks help create a calm, supportive learning environment where students feel cared for and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with excitement. Many expressed gratitude and immediately felt motivated to do their best work. Knowing that someone outside of our classroom cared enough to support them made a big emotional impact. The snacks have helped boost not only energy levels but also student morale, encouraging positive behavior, teamwork, and perseverance during lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students are continuing to build stamina and confidence as we work on grade-level math concepts and written responses that require critical thinking. With the support of these resources, students are better prepared to engage deeply in lessons, collaborate with peers, and push themselves academically.

The styluses and headphones have made a noticeable difference in our daily instruction by helping students interact with digital lessons more effectively while minimizing distractions. Students are able to listen closely to instructions, reread passages, and complete assignments with greater concentration and confidence.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been having tools that make learning feel both fun and meaningful. Using styluses allows them to write, draw, and respond digitally with precision, which is especially helpful during reading and writing activities. The headphones have empowered students to work at their own pace, whether they are listening to audiobooks, practicing phonics, or reviewing lessons, without disrupting others.\r\n\r\nThese resources have been especially impactful for students who struggle with focus or benefit from auditory support. I've seen students who were once easily distracted stay engaged longer and take more ownership of their learning.

We are using the materials daily to support our writing and reading lessons. One of our favorite projects so far has been combining writing and drawing to create character maps—students used words and illustrations to show how characters change throughout a story. This not only deepened their comprehension but also gave them a creative outlet to express their ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new LCD tablets , their excitement was contagious. They immediately wanted to start drawing, labeling, and writing. Many of them shared how much easier it felt to explain their thinking when they could combine pictures with words. Seeing their enthusiasm and confidence grow has been one of the best parts of this project.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students are building stronger connections between reading, writing, and creative expression.

Since coming back from summer break I can see a difference and now they actually are excited about reading and look forward to it everyday. Beyond academics, classroom fosters empathy and imagination, and that's what our books do for them. Shared reading experiences allow them to create a sense of community in the classroom, allows them to engage in discussions, and make predictions. We have been using these books to review point of view, theme, and parts of speech, all of which are items that are tested in their state exam. I believe this has made a great impact and continue to do so in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1753837546948,"projectUrl":"project/building-brighter-minds-one-book-at-a-t/9509965/","projectTitle":"Building Brighter Minds, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moreno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9379803_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701037671685","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9379803"},{"teacherId":9379803,"projectId":9405463,"letterContent":"We've been putting the new materials to work right away!
