My students are always excited to use hands on materials and it's vital to increase engagement. We as a classroom are very thankful for your contributions. We use the head phones for students who become overstimulated with loud noises in the classroom. The calming tent is a great space for students to calm down without too many distractions. We love painting and the paint is so useful in our classroom. We used the mini craft iron to make our customized classroom Chicka Chicka Boom Boom which we will be wearing as a class on Oct. 31st.

The wobble chairs are great for everyone in the classroom to use.\r\n\r\nThe beanbag chairs are working out amazingly. Since introducing them to the classroom and the proper way to use a beanbag chair I have seen more kids going to it on the chairs and read during their free choice time.

With the manipulative blocks, geometry shapes, and math-themed classroom décor that you helped us acquire, we've been able to transform our classroom into a vibrant and interactive learning environment.\r\n\r\nMy students were absolutely delighted when they first saw the new materials! They couldn't wait to dive in and start exploring the different shapes and blocks. We've been using these resources to tackle complex math concepts in a hands-on way. For example, we recently used the manipulative blocks to build 3D models of geometric shapes, which helped students visualize and understand the relationships between different dimensions. The excitement in the room was palpable as students worked together, shared their discoveries, and marveled at the beauty of math.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we're eager to continue integrating these resources into our lessons. Our next step is to use the geometry shapes to explore concepts of symmetry and tessellations. Students will work in small groups to create their own tessellation artworks, applying mathematical concepts to create beautiful and intricate designs. Thank you again for your generosity and support! Your contributions have truly made a lasting impact on our classroom and have helped inspire a love of learning in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1734135639074,"projectUrl":"project/mathematical-minds-enriching-math-exper/8500999/","projectTitle":"Mathematical Minds: Enriching Math Experiences","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Moha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9595317_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753109091861","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9595317"},{"teacherId":9727275,"projectId":8735345,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations!
