This time I have additional calculators from my Project ProCalc 2025. These calculators are already making a meaningful difference in my students' learning and confidence in my geometry class.\r\n\r\nIn the past, some students would become frustrated trying to manage lengthy calculations. What excites students most about the new calculators is the independence they provide. There is no longer a need to wait to share or miss out on practice because we didn't have enough devices. Each student having consistent access has created a more equitable learning environment. They feel trusted and empowered to use the tools responsibly.\r\n\r\nSome students who previously struggled with geometry anxiety now engage in my class. Some students who often shut down during complex problems now confidently picks up a calculator and begins working step-by-step. These calculators are supporting both struggling learners and advanced thinkers alike.\r\n\r\nMy students will continue using the calculators for some geometric and algebraic problems for them to solve it accurately. Having reliable access ensures they are building both computational accuracy and higher-level problem-solving skills that will serve them well beyond our classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generous heart in supporting my project by providing more calculators — you have given my students confidence, independence, and the opportunity to engage more deeply with geometry class. Thank you for investing in their growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1767228643567,"projectUrl":"project/procalc-2025/9914764/","projectTitle":"ProCalc 2025","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. YORONG","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9796348_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757679402239","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9796348"},{"teacherId":9796348,"projectId":9555364,"letterContent":"A big THANK YOU for your generosity, our classroom now has essential hygiene supplies like paper towels, Kleenex, alcohol, and paper tissues that help keep our learning environment clean, safe, and comfortable every single day. While these items may seem simple, they have made a powerful impact on my students' health, focus, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the supplies arrived, my students were genuinely excited. When we unpacked the boxes together, several students cheered and one even said, \"Now we don't have to worry about running out!\" It was a powerful reminder that basic necessities truly matter. They immediately understood that people they've never met cared enough about them to support their classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are using these resources constantly throughout the day. The paper towels and alcohol help us quickly sanitize desks and shared materials between activities. During flu and cold season, the Kleenex and tissues are within easy reach, allowing students to take care of themselves independently and return to learning without disruption. One special moment that stood out was during a recent science experiment involving hands-on materials. Students were able to clean their workspace thoroughly afterward, practicing responsibility and hygiene at the same time. Instead of worrying about messes, we focused fully on learning.\r\n\r\nBeyond cleanliness, these supplies have strengthened our classroom community. Students are taking more ownership of keeping our room tidy. We've incorporated mini-lessons on personal hygiene, health, and responsibility, turning everyday routines into teachable moments.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, our next steps include continuing our focus on healthy habits while diving deeper into collaborative, hands-on projects. With these hygiene essentials in place, students can confidently participate in group work, science labs, art activities, and shared reading centers without concern. A clean environment allows us to maximize instructional time and maintain a space where everyone feels safe and cared for.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than supplies — you've provided peace of mind, dignity, and the ability to focus on learning.

Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they lack structured study habits. This project helps students measure and improve the quality of their learning time, especially when working through multi-step proofs, theorems, and complex problem sets. They use calculations in the absence of computers.\r\n\r\nThe calculators that you donate help them in our day to day assignments and they also use it during our semester exam last week.

They were immediately drawn to the bright colors, beads, and decorations. It truly felt like we brought a little piece of New Orleans into our room. They were surprised to learn that Mardi Gras is more than just a celebration—it has deep cultural roots and meaningful traditions.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite activities has been creating Mardi Gras masks. Students learned about the traditional colors—purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power and then designed their own masks with a written explanation of their choices. Watching them plan, create, and proudly share their finished masks was such a special moment. We even held a small classroom \"parade\" where students shared what they learned and celebrated together.\r\n\r\nNext, we're continuing our learning with a cross-curricular project. Students will locate Louisiana on the map, explore the cultural influences that shaped Mardi Gras, and write informational pieces or travel brochures about the celebration. We'll also tie in math by planning and budgeting materials for a pretend parade float.","fullyFundedDate":1746787129209,"projectUrl":"project/mardi-gras-extravganza/9115056/","projectTitle":"Mardi Gras Extravganza","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shantal Mclaughlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9635712_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723083517724","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mademoisellemclaughlin"},{"teacherId":10161378,"projectId":9866619,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our Health Science students.

The Windows Surface tablet you provided has officially arrived and is already fundamentally changing the way my students and I interact every single day.\r\nIn a classroom where every second counts, this technology has become my most versatile tool. Because the Surface is so lightweight and portable, I am no longer tethered to my desk or a desktop computer. I can now teach from **anywhere in the room**. By wirelessly sharing my screen to our Promethean board, I can walk among my students, providing immediate support while still guiding the whole class through a lesson.\r\nThis tablet has streamlined our daily routines and opened up new avenues for engagement: I can pull up websites like Wayground or launch a Pear Assessment while standing right next to a student who needs extra help. This \"untethered\" teaching allows me to monitor student progress in real-time, ensuring no one falls behind. One of the biggest hits has been the ability to award **PBIS points** instantly. When I see a student displaying kindness or hard work, I can log their points on the spot. The students love the immediate \"ping\" of recognition, and it has noticeably boosted our classroom morale. Tasks like taking attendance or managing classroom transitions are now seamless, giving us back precious minutes of instructional time that used to be lost to administrative lag.\r\n\r\nTo the students, the Surface tablet feels like \"magic.\" They are most excited by the **interactivity**. When I use the digital pen to annotate a diagram on the screen while standing at the back of the room, they are captivated. It makes the technology feel accessible and integrated into their world. We have a few students who were previously quite shy or struggled with traditional \"sit-and-get\" lectures. One student in particular, who often felt overwhelmed by large-group instruction, has completely warmed up to this technology. Now, when I bring the tablet over to their desk to show a video clip or an interactive model, their eyes light up. The 1-on-1 feeling of the tablet has given them the confidence to participate more during our whole-group discussions.\r\n\"It's like the teacher is everywhere at once! We don't have to wait for her to go back to her desk to see the next thing.\" — 9th Grade Student\r\nYour generosity has not only provided a device but has also created a more dynamic, responsive, and encouraging environment for my students.
