We use them for interactive practice, quick checks for understanding, small group instruction, and fluency drills. One memorable moment was during a reading lesson on decoding multisyllabic words, students eagerly used their boards to break apart syllables and underline vowel teams, and I was able to instantly see who needed support and who was ready for enrichment. \r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was contagious. Students were thrilled to have their own boards and felt more confident sharing their thinking because they could write, erase, and try again without fear of mistakes. Even my quieter learners have become more willing to participate. Moving forward, we will continue using these tools during intervention as we strengthen phonics, fluency, and sentence building. These resources have truly transformed engagement in our classroom, and we are so grateful for the opportunity they provide our students every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1771243694779,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboard-revolution/10095412/","projectTitle":"Whiteboard Revolution","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8910963_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724346238966","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8910963"},{"teacherId":10306471,"projectId":9810987,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting my School Counseling Office through ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. Because of you, my students now have access to resources that help create a safe, welcoming, and calming environment where they can focus on their social-emotional growth and well-being.\r\n\r\nWe are using these new resources daily in both individual counseling sessions and small-group lessons, which are focused on emotional regulation, coping skills, friendship building, and problem-solving. One meaningful moment that stands out was during a small-group session when a student used one of the new calming tools for the first time and proudly shared, \"This helps my brain slow down.\" That moment alone showed me just how impactful your support truly is. When students first saw the materials, their reactions were immediate and heartfelt. They were excited, curious, and eager to explore the space. Several students commented on how the office felt \"more comfortable\" and \"more peaceful,\" which is exactly the type of environment we strive to create so students feel safe asking for help and expressing themselves.\r\n\r\nWe will continue using these resources to support ongoing SEL lessons, crisis support, and preventative counseling work. Students are currently practicing identifying emotions, using calming strategies independently, and applying problem-solving skills they can carry with them into classrooms and beyond. These tools will remain a consistent part of our counseling program for years to come.\r\n\r\nYour generosity goes far beyond materials—it helps build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging for our students.

The ability to erase and try again has truly built their confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were beyond excited! They immediately asked, \"Do we get to use these today?\" The boards and markers made learning feel special and fun.\r\n\r\nWe will continue using these tools during our reading fluency and encoding practice.
