Because of you, my students now have the supplies they need to participate in focused, small-group math instruction that has been incredibly successful.\r\n\r\nThese materials have transformed how we learn math each day. Students are more engaged, more willing to take risks, and more confident in explaining their thinking. The hands-on tools allow students to visualize math concepts, practice skills at their level, and receive targeted support in a way that whole-group instruction alone cannot provide.\r\n\r\nAs a result, students are showing strong growth in their math skills and a deeper understanding of key concepts. They are collaborating, persevering through challenges, and developing problem-solving strategies that will support them well beyond this school year.\r\n\r\nMany of my students would not have access to these high-quality learning tools without your generosity. Your support has helped create an equitable learning environment where all students can experience success and feel confident as mathematicians.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and believing in their potential. Your support has made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1766168909081,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-math-success/9816055/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into Math Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8668133_orig.png?crop=312,312,x0,y5&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673051876189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8668133"},{"teacherId":8668133,"projectId":9734050,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in funding our classroom project.

Students who once struggled to make it through the day on an empty stomach now have access to snacks that help them stay focused, calm, and ready to learn. Something as simple as a granola bar or crackers has become a powerful tool for learning, helping students put their energy into their schoolwork instead of their hunger.\r\n\r\nWe have seen real improvements in attention, participation, and overall mood in the classroom. Students are better able to concentrate during lessons, engage in discussions, and persist through challenging work. Just as importantly, they feel cared for. Knowing that someone they may never meet chose to support them has helped build a sense of belonging and security that carries into everything we do.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a direct and lasting impact on our students' daily lives. You did more than provide food. You helped remove a barrier to learning and gave our students a better chance to succeed each day.

Instead of giving up when they get stuck, students are erasing, revising, and trying again, which is an important mindset shift that has made a real difference in their learning.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite moments came during science. Students created their own booklets to document observations, vocabulary, and experiments for our field trip to the Utah State Capitol. Using the long-reach stapler, we assembled these booklets together, and students were incredibly proud to hold a \"real\" book they made themselves. They immediately began personalizing them, carefully recording their thinking.\r\n\r\nThese simple but essential tools are helping our students stay organized and engaged and that impact is felt every single day.
