While many people use a mouse at home without much thought, in our classroom, this simple tool has made a huge difference.\r\n\r\nBefore, students were trying to navigate complex tasks like digital writing, interactive science simulations, and online testing with just a laptop trackpad. This often led to frustration and slowed them down. Now, with the new mice, they can work more efficiently and precisely. They're able to focus on learning the content—not just figuring out how to control the cursor.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how much easier and more natural it feels to use the computer now. They're especially enthusiastic during creative projects where they can click, drag, and draw with far more accuracy. It's amazing how something so small can unlock so much excitement and capability.\r\n\r\nOne student who used to struggle with fine motor skills now moves confidently through online activities. She used to avoid tech tasks because the trackpad was frustrating, but now she jumps right in—and even asks if she can show her work to others!\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we're not just using technology—we're thriving with it. You've helped remove a barrier and opened a door to more confident, engaged learners. Thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1731542857432,"projectUrl":"project/mice-on-a-mission-enhancing-our-classro/8859196/","projectTitle":"Mice on a Mission: Enhancing Our Classroom Experience!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Orta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9766308_orig.png?crop=166,166,x0,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726774123369","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9766308"},{"teacherId":7923599,"projectId":6631325,"letterContent":"I wanted to personally thank you for your generous donation to my classroom.
