Headphones Help Us Focus! Pt. 2
Funded Jan 29, 2025We are so grateful you chose to support our project and help provide students with the headphones they need to succeed in school! Headphones are a material that we use in school literally every day, but they are often not the best quality and fall apart. With your generosity, over 300 pairs of earbuds have been distributed to students throughout the district. That's amazing!
These headphones have been essential in accessing district testing, completing class assignments, participating in audio-guided assessments, and experiencing interactive learning tasks on Chromebooks. With your generosity, I now have a reserve of headphones to support students not only this year, but for years to come! Your support created a more equitable and welcoming learning environment for all our students, and we are deeply grateful. Please know that when you support classrooms like ours through DonorsChoose, you are making a real impact on our lives. We are SO appreciative of you and this community.”

Let's Go Pentominoes!
Funded Mar 15, 2024Thank you so much for making this project a reality. I am incredibly grateful for your generous support in funding this spatial reasoning project for a class set of pentominoes! Thanks to your kindness, my students now have access to pentominoes and the necessary storage materials to keep them organized.
These resources have already made a tremendous impact in our classroom. My students are eager to explore the challenges of spatial reasoning, and the pentominoes have provided the perfect hands-on tool to develop their visualization and problem-solving skills. It's so lovely and encouraging to see their excitement as they manipulate and fit the pieces together, building confidence in their strengthening spatial reasoning skills.
Your generosity has helped create a nurturing and engaging learning environment where my students can push their thinking, overcome challenges, and grow as learners. Thank you for believing in our mission and making a difference in their education. Your support for our classroom truly means the world to us!”

Cultivating Compassion Within Our School Community!
Funded Sep 18, 2024Thank you so much for your generous support of our project to foster empathy and compassion in our classroom and broader school community. The card-making kits, children's books, and small treats you helped provide were used to show kindness to those in need.
The idea of a Compassion Club came about when a few students came to my class upset by what their peers had said or done. Teachers work incredibly hard to help students practice skills of all types, but social-emotional learning is something that requires much more time than is allowed in the school day. Compassion Club was started as an opportunity for students in upper grade levels to practice, think, and talk about the skills of compassion, kindness, and empathy. I have been so excited by the response. Students ask me every single day if they can come to Compassion Club. They love listening to read-alouds with lessons about kindness, inclusion, and empathy as they eat their lunches. Students love making cards for peers, teachers and school staff to let others know how much they appreciate them and care for them. Creating cards and pairing them with thoughtful treats will teach my students how small acts of kindness can have a big impact. The engaging books and reflective activities help them see the world from different perspectives, nurturing their empathy over time.
Your generosity is helping to build a classroom environment where compassion and understanding thrive. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of my students and our community!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community & an Anonymous Partner and 9 other donors.Back to School Boost!
Funded Sep 3, 2024Thank you so much for your generosity in helping to provide essential supplies that helped make our classroom a clean, comfortable, and engaging space for learning. Items like Lysol wipes, a new rug, snacks, and bulletin board decorations may seem simple, but they make a world of difference in creating an environment where students feel welcomed, excited, and ready to dive into their projects.
Items requested in this project were used every single day. Students gather on the carpet for puzzles, station work, and class conversations. The bulletin board paper and border will last this year and many years to come - students get so excited to see their work and projects highlighted in our classroom! Students also loved having a snack while they worked on their puzzles and projects; the school day is long and we all can used a snack sometimes. By removing barriers to learning, you are helping students focus and get the most out of our class.
Your kindness and support have truly made a lasting impact on our classroom. Thank you for believing in my students and helping them succeed!”
