Because of your generosity, my first graders are experiencing learning in a way that truly meets them where they are.\r\n\r\nMany of my students entered first grade with gaps in reading, math, and foundational skills. With the iPads you helped provide, learning has become more accessible, engaging, and empowering for them. I see students light up when they master a skill, gain confidence when they practice at their own pace, and feel proud of themselves when they realize they can do hard things. These digital tools allow them to receive immediate feedback, personalized practice, and extra support that simply wasn't possible before.\r\n\r\nYour impact reaches beyond academics. For my students, these iPads represent encouragement, belief, and opportunity. They feel seen and supported. They are more motivated, more focused, and more willing to take risks in their learning. You have helped turn frustration into confidence and uncertainty into growth.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, your support means everything to me. It allows me to better serve my students, differentiate instruction, and close learning gaps with intention and care. Because of you, I can spend less time worrying about limited resources and more time doing what I love most—teaching, guiding, and celebrating my students' progress.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my classroom, in my students' futures, and in me as an educator. Your generosity is making a real, lasting difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1767203700868,"projectUrl":"project/ipad-activities-bridge-grade-1-learning/9885711/","projectTitle":"iPad Activities Bridge Grade 1 Learning Gaps Through Digital Intervention.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Duhinog","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10322949_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760896108622","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10322949"},{"teacherId":10322949,"projectId":9846793,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project, Tech-Powered Intervention for Struggling Learners. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in my classroom and in the lives of my first graders.\r\n\r\nMany of my students face learning challenges that can feel overwhelming at such a young age. Because of your support, they now have access to technology that helps break learning down into manageable, engaging steps. I see students who once felt discouraged now showing excitement, confidence, and pride as they practice skills at their own pace. The technology you provided allows them to receive immediate feedback, targeted intervention, and the extra support they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nFor my students, this project is about more than technology. It's about believing in themselves. It's about realizing that learning can feel achievable and even fun. I watch them celebrate small victories, take academic risks, and grow more confident each day—and that growth is directly connected to your kindness and belief in them.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, your support has been incredibly impactful. You have given me the tools to reach my struggling learners in ways that truly meet their individual needs. Because of you, I can focus on instruction that is intentional, personalized, and compassionate. You have eased the burden of limited resources and empowered me to be the best teacher I can be for my students.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my classroom, my students' futures, and in me as an educator.

Each day students are reading books from our classroom library. We recently were in a reading competition with another school, and we did not run out of reading materials. There is now something of interest for every single student to read thanks to your very generous donation. \r\n\r\nAs you know, classroom teachers often find their classroom projects on their own. I spent a good part of my summer asking for chapter book donations from my local community. It was great receiving support, however, I did not receive much of a variety. That is where my Donors Choose Project came in. I was able to make a list of books that my students wanted to read that we did not have yet. If I were to buy books on my own, it would be maybe 1-2 new books a month. Thanks to this project, we received over 50 new high-quality books. These books will be loved for years to come. Thank you for supporting our classroom! We all are so very grateful for our library addition.","fullyFundedDate":1755692769129,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-new-chapter-books/9500015/","projectTitle":"We Need New Chapter Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ballou","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9705236_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753456468200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9705236"},{"teacherId":4175609,"projectId":9301196,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing resources that make a big difference in our kindergarten classroom. With the wonderful whole group read-aloud books, our students are not only learning the kindergarten standards but also developing important social-emotional skills. The stories and characters are fun, engaging, and age-appropriate, helping us build a strong sense of classroom community while also encouraging a love for reading.\r\n\r\nWe are especially grateful for the visual resources that give our students constant access to important learning tools. The alphabet charts, shape visuals, and counting references help our young learners build foundational literacy and math skills every day. These resources allow students to practice independently while reinforcing what they are learning in class.\r\n\r\nFinally, the hands-on tools have been such an exciting addition! From practicing tying their shoes to exploring the scale that teaches counting, addition, and inequalities up to ten, students are building confidence in both life skills and math concepts. These engaging tools bring learning to life in ways that are fun and meaningful for kindergarteners. Thank you for making this possible and for supporting our students' growth in so many areas.","fullyFundedDate":1755692767536,"projectUrl":"project/moving-to-kindergarten/9301196/","projectTitle":"Moving to Kindergarten!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. W.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4175609_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768599954585","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4175609"},{"teacherId":3563438,"projectId":8812962,"letterContent":"I really appreciate your generosity for making this project happen.

Students were able to watch themselves on screen, critique their actions, projection skills, line memorization, blocking errors, audience responses. Students were able to choose one or all parts of drama, acting, stagecraft, tech support (lighting, sound, effects, and filming). Many chose all four areas to be involved in.\r\nStudents were truly amazed that their hard work and dedication created such a positive reaction from the rest of the school population and their families. Students shared that the memorization skills that they learned has helped them to succeed with other classes, and has lessened the fear of getting up in front of others to speak.\r\nThey walked away from this experience with pride, self-worth, and the ability to communicate in large groups. Some students were even able to step away from their apprehensions socially.
