The dry-erase markers you provided have quickly become an essential learning tool for my math students. We use them daily on our desks for problem-solving, quick checks for understanding, and collaborative practice. Instead of working quietly on paper, students now show their thinking in real time, erase mistakes without fear, and try again immediately. One of my favorite moments was watching a student who typically hesitates to participate confidently work through a problem on their desk and say, \"It's okay if I mess up, I can just fix it.\"\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their reaction was pure excitement. Something as simple as being able to write directly on their desks made math feel more approachable and less intimidating. Many students who usually struggle with engagement became more willing to attempt problems, ask questions, and share their reasoning. The ability to erase easily has reduced anxiety and encouraged a growth mindset, especially for students who often feel discouraged by math.\r\n\r\nNext, we are using these tools to support more hands-on lessons, including modeling real-world math problems, practicing multiple solution strategies, and participating in movement-based math activities. Students will continue using the markers as we build skills in problem solving, reasoning, and collaboration. Your donation has made our classroom more interactive, supportive, and student-centered, and it has had a lasting impact on both learning and confidence. Thank you for helping make math a place where students feel comfortable taking risks and learning from mistakes.","fullyFundedDate":1759252544253,"projectUrl":"project/math-made-easy/9580763/","projectTitle":"Math made Easy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9633329_orig.jpg?crop=389,389,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755791812659","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9633329"},{"teacherId":9741594,"projectId":9063442,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support! My students are super excited to receive everything we asked for. The pinnies have been their favorite item because now they can easily coordinate teams. Before, it was hard to tell who was on which side during soccer games, but now they know exactly who to pass the ball to.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up right away! They were so thankful and immediately wanted to try everything. The pinnies, especially, made them feel like real teams.\r\n\r\nFor my students, soccer is more than just a game, it's their one hour to disconnect from their hard lives, to play for their health and peace after long hours of work.

Your contribution provided an invaluable learning experience for our students, one that was both engaging and eye-opening.\r\n\r\nWith the goggles, we created an interactive obstacle course that allowed students to compare their performance while \"sober\" versus \"under the influence.\" The results were truly impactful—students recorded their times and mistakes, highlighting the significant difference in their ability to navigate safely when simulated impairment was introduced. Beyond just the activity itself, the reflections they wrote afterward demonstrated a deep understanding of the dangers of drunk driving. Many expressed how surprised they were by the drastic change in their coordination and judgment, reinforcing the importance of making responsible choices.\r\n\r\nThis hands-on experience would not have been possible without your generosity, and I am confident that it has left a lasting impression on our students.
