Help Students Tune into Reading Success! 📖🎧
Funded Feb 1, 2025Thank you so much for your generous donation of headphones to our classroom! Technology plays a big role in helping my students learn, and having access to headphones has made a huge difference. With them, students can engage more deeply in interactive lessons, focus during individualized learning programs, and work at their own pace without distractions.
What's most exciting to my students about the new headphones is how they give them a sense of independence and ownership in their learning. Whether they're exploring math games, listening to educational videos, or using reading tools that support comprehension, they're fully immersed—and they love it!
One student in particular, Krystal, who always shows kindness and support to others, has really blossomed with this technology. She uses the headphones to access reading support tools that help her dive into more advanced texts, and now she's even helping her classmates use them too!
Thank you again for making a real impact in our classroom. The gift of these headphones has truly enriched our learning environment!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Villar-Gomez
Create Big Ideas STEM
Funded Oct 1, 2024When they found out this project was funded, my student told me she can't wait to start creating colorful 3D structures to show her classmates.** Thanks to your generosity, our classroom is now filled with innovative tools like the Veatree Magnetic Building Sticks, Constructive Playthings Translucent Pattern Blocks, and Learning Resources Pixel Art Challenge Set, among others. These incredible STEM materials have completely transformed our learning space, providing my students with the chance to explore hands-on activities that spark creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking.
With these tools, my students have been able to construct intricate 3D designs, experiment with patterns and colors on the light table, and tackle exciting challenges using the STEM Explorers Pixel Art and Carson Dellosa STEM Challenge Cards. The Coogam Wooden Puzzle Blocks became a favorite for building spatial reasoning and teamwork, as they worked together to solve brain-teasing puzzles. These activities not only engaged them in meaningful play but also reinforced fundamental STEM principles, including geometry, engineering, and problem-solving.
Your support has truly been a gift that keeps on giving. These materials have opened up a world of discovery and joy, fostering a love for STEM that will benefit my students for years to come. On behalf of our classroom, thank you for believing in the power of education and for helping us create unforgettable learning experiences.”
