Funded Feb 18, 2015Thank you all so much for your gracious donations to help fund my first Donors Choose project! The day that I logged onto my account and realized my project had been completely funded, was one of the best days of my career as a teacher! Then, the boxes filled with the headphones and mice arrived and it felt like Christmas morning.
My students were as equally excited as I was. We checked out the boxes of headphones and talked about how nice they would be to use. The mice were packaged so that we could hold them, and we took turns clicking the mice and showing how they turn on and off. With a little help from my tech department (I'm not very 'tech savvy'), the headphones and mice were installed that very night. The next morning, before we did center work, I showed the class how to use the headphones and how to put them back on the base when they were done so that they could continue to charge. Everyday since we received the headphones and the mice, we have used them. I am happy to report that we have not had one set of headphones or one mice crash to the floor since we have started using these. We have no wires to get tangled around chairs or legs. If we get up for a tissue, the headphones go with us without snagging or catching on other things. I can actually work through an entire reading center and not have to stop and go over to untangle wires, or fix mice for students at the computer center.
Thanks, again, for your generous contribution. It has clearly made our classroom a better and more efficient place!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Fleming
