Your generosity has already transformed the way my students approach math every single day.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment we unpacked the tablets, there was this electric excitement in the room. Students immediately began testing out the screens, writing numbers, solving little practice problems, and comparing their work. They couldn't believe these were \"really ours.\"\r\n\r\nThe impact on our math lessons has been incredible:\r\n\r\nRisk-taking has skyrocketed. Students who used to freeze when they weren't sure of an answer are now jumping in. The instant erase feature takes away the fear of being wrong, so they're more willing to show their thinking and try again.\r\n\r\nProblem-solving talk has improved. During partner work, each pair uses a tablet to break down multi-step problems. They write, erase, move pieces around, and talk through strategies in ways that feel more natural and less intimidating than paper.\r\n\r\nReal-time checks for understanding are easier. I can ask, \"Show me your first step,\" and instantly scan their tablets. It keeps the lesson moving and helps me quickly catch misconceptions before they grow.\r\n\r\nStudents who struggle with neatness or organization are thriving. They don't get bogged down by erasing pencil marks or rewriting messy steps. The tablet helps them focus on the math, not the mechanics of writing.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just bring a fun gadget into our room — it gave my students a more engaging, supportive way to understand and communicate math. They feel empowered. They feel capable. And they feel seen.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in them and helping make math a place where they can shine.","fullyFundedDate":1757342785769,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-think-write-and-share-wi/9578225/","projectTitle":"Help Students Think, Write, and Share With LCD Writing Tablets","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Villarreal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2616081_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536799123012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stephanivillarreal"},{"teacherId":8909738,"projectId":9350630,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of a drone to our classroom.
