Because of your generosity, students are now engaging in hands-on, interactive STEM experiences that bring learning to life. The tools and games have helped students better visualize concepts, collaborate with peers, and stay focused while applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills in meaningful ways. Technology is no longer just something they use, it has become a tool for deeper understanding and exploration.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how learning now feels active and fun. Many who were once hesitant or struggled to stay engaged have shown increased confidence and enthusiasm when using these materials. Students are eager to participate, take risks, and explain their thinking, especially those who benefit from hands-on and visual learning. Your support has made a lasting impact by creating an inclusive, engaging environment where every student can experience success in STEM.","fullyFundedDate":1757903604612,"projectUrl":"project/keep-stem-learning-in-color/9529193/","projectTitle":"Keep STEM Learning in Color","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Louis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6171291_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y633&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754181032257","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-louis"},{"teacherId":6171291,"projectId":9471547,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible support of our project, Math in Motion: Technology, Games, and Tools for Hands-On Learning. Because of you, our students now have access to meaningful resources that are transforming how they experience math. The iPads, math games, manipulatives, and basic supplies have allowed us to create engaging small group and before and after school learning experiences where students can actively explore concepts, think deeply, and stay focused.\r\n\r\nThe technology has been especially helpful during our math clubs and intervention time. Students use the iPads to practice skills, watch modeled strategies, and reflect on their thinking, while hands-on tools like the Shut the Box game and the Numberblocks Blockzee Balance Set help make abstract math ideas concrete. Students are excited to rotate through stations and often ask to continue playing and learning even after the session ends. The combination of technology and tactile learning has increased participation, confidence, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nWhat makes our students so special is their eagerness to learn and their resilience. Many of them benefit from extra support and thrive when learning feels interactive and accessible. Your generosity has made that possible. Thank you for believing in our students and helping us create joyful, meaningful learning moments that will have a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1753812496498,"projectUrl":"project/math-in-motion-technology-games-tool/9471547/","projectTitle":"Math in Motion: Technology, Games & Tools for Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Louis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6171291_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y633&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754181032257","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-louis"},{"teacherId":10108648,"projectId":9528389,"letterContent":"My students have been eager and ready to learn this year and when I introduced the materials to them, their faces lit up! They have been excited for center rotations ever since! The materials that they use for both math and ELA has proven to be beneficial for their growth. \r\nFor reading, a top favorite of theirs is naming the pictures to spell the words. They are working on identifying beginning, middle, and ending sounds and this resource gives them the opportunity to identify the sound, find the corresponding letter to spell the word. I have seen the growth in these students from being able to create these cvc words to know moving into reading those words in grade level appropriate text. \r\nThe next level for the kiddos is to implement small texts to build on their reading comprehension and reading fluency.

Students can now concentrate on their lessons, especially during technology-based reading and comprehension activities, without being interrupted by the sounds around them.\r\n\r\nFor many of my learners, particularly those who benefit from audio support or use programs that read text aloud, these headphones have been a game changer. They can listen carefully, complete assignments at their own pace, and feel more confident in their learning space.

In addition, it provides me with a beautiful product to display for our entire school to view!\r\n\r\nFinally, words cannot express how forever grateful I am to ALL the donors that funded this project. In our world, education is changing and it can be financially exhausting to maintain trends and engage students with budget constraints! Many of my fourth graders were very excited about these product because they have started to learn the importance of being accountable for their work, and they want to make sure that it's presentable and of quality. Moreover, besides this, students are able to quickly clean and place materials back for future use, this is due to the organizational bins and materials holders that were donated via this project.","fullyFundedDate":1748604312733,"projectUrl":"project/writers-workshop-paradise/9337225/","projectTitle":"Writer’s Workshop Paradise","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005858"},{"teacherId":4442137,"projectId":9445459,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.

Thanks to you, we received a full set of headphones and dry erase markers, and their impact has been immediate and meaningful for my students.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have transformed our independent learning time. In the past, background noise made it difficult for students to focus during reading and math stations, especially for those working on adaptive digital programs. Now, with their own headphones, students can fully immerse themselves in their activities—whether it's practicing phonics on Lexia, listening to engaging read-alouds, or watching short math tutorials. One of my quieter students, Mateo, told me that he loves how \"the world goes quiet\" when he puts on his headphones so he can \"hear every word.\" It's been beautiful to see students settling into their learning routines with more confidence and fewer distractions.\r\n\r\nThe dry erase markers have been just as impactful. We use them daily during small group instruction and whole-class lessons to solve math problems, brainstorm story ideas, and practice new vocabulary. During our recent place value review, students worked in pairs to solve problems on their whiteboards, eagerly holding them up to show their answers. The room was buzzing with excitement, and even my most hesitant learners participated enthusiastically because they knew they could easily erase and try again. This simple tool has made learning feel active, low-pressure, and fun.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just provide supplies—it created opportunities for focus, engagement, and joy in our classroom. These materials help my students grow as learners each day, and they remind them that there are people out there who believe in their potential.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us—thank you for investing in our classroom.
