We are using integer chips, probability spinners, and manipulatives daily to model real-world situations, solve problems collaboratively, and explain their thinking with confidence. One standout moment was watching students physically model positive and negative integers during a class challenge students who previously struggled were suddenly leading discussions and helping their peers.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. My students were eager to explore, touch, and test everything, and their curiosity quickly turned into meaningful learning. They were amazed that math could feel like a game while still being rigorous and purposeful. I heard comments like, \"This finally makes sense!\" and \"Can we do this again tomorrow?\" a powerful shift in attitude toward math.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our next steps include applying these tools to real-life probability experiments and student-created math games that demonstrate mastery of integers and chance. These resources are helping students build a strong foundation while developing confidence, collaboration, and a genuine love for learning math. Your generosity truly made math click for my students, and I am deeply grateful for your impact on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1766947067135,"projectUrl":"project/making-math-click-hands-on-tools-for-in/9820668/","projectTitle":"Making Math Click: Hands-On Tools for Integer and Probability Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Panoso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9970102_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742095537377","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9970102"},{"teacherId":9970102,"projectId":9566273,"letterContent":"This project made a meaningful difference in my classroom. The $300 Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards gave me access to high-quality digital science and math resources that I could immediately use with my students.\r\n\r\nThe technology allows me to bring interactive science and math lessons directly into the classroom. Through digital lab stations, simulations, and hands-on activities, students can practice skills, receive immediate feedback, and learn at their own pace. This makes learning more engaging and helps students better understand complex concepts.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the variety and interactivity of the resources. They enjoy rotating through digital stations, solving challenges, and applying what they learn in real-world scenarios instead of only completing worksheets.\r\n\r\nStudents who struggle with traditional instruction have especially benefited. Visual learners, English language learners, and students needing extra support have gained confidence because the technology offers step-by-step guidance, visuals, and multiple ways to practice and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1759265047553,"projectUrl":"project/digital-science-math-resources-for-eve/9566273/","projectTitle":"Digital Science & Math Resources for Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Panoso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9970102_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742095537377","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9970102"},{"teacherId":9970102,"projectId":9722460,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, \"Whisking Up Creativity: Shelves and Tools for Young Bakers.\" We have just begun our no-bake club, and these new tools have already made a huge impact.

With your donated resources, our rehearsals transformed. Students practiced with purpose: refining vocal technique, learning how to blend as one voice, and discovering how music can express emotions they didn't yet have words for. One unforgettable moment was watching students who once sang timidly stand taller, listen more closely to one another, and realize together, \"We sound incredible.\"\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, the room filled with excitement and curiosity. They eagerly flipped through the music, asked questions, and immediately wanted to sing. For many of them, this was the first time they felt truly seen as musicians. Several students shared how proud they were to perform music that felt important and challenging, and how powerful it felt to be part of something bigger than themselves. Your support gave them confidence, joy, and a sense of belonging. These are things that can't be measured, but are deeply felt.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, this concert was not an ending, but a beginning. The Noble Notes are continuing to grow. We are building toward new performances, strengthening teamwork, and pushing themselves musically in ways they never thought possible. Your generosity reminded my students that their voices matter and that there are people beyond our classroom who believe in their potential.

The moment I told them it was from DonorsChoose, the whole class lit up with excitement and many remembered the other resources we've received in the past and knew this was something special for them.\r\n\r\nThe biggest thrill came when I announced that we now had plenty of headphones for independent learning. The room instantly buzzed with energy, students were practically bouncing in their seats and raising their hands, eager to borrow one so they could get started right away. It was wonderful to see how something so simple could make them so motivated to learn on their own.\r\n\r\nI also shared that we had shelves coming in to help organize our classroom. Some of my students, especially the girls, quickly volunteered to help arrange and set things up. Their willingness to pitch in and take ownership showed just how excited and invested they were in making our classroom a better place.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been the most exciting addition. In today's classroom, technology is used daily for independent learning whether it's listening to reading passages, practicing math fluency, or completing online lessons. With headphones, students can focus on their own work without distractions, creating a calm and productive environment. As soon as I announced that we now had plenty for everyone, they all raised their hands eagerly, wanting to borrow one right away for their activities. Their joy made it clear how much these simple tools help them learn better.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have tools that make independent learning more engaging and our classroom more organized.

For many of them, just being able to write clearly in front of their classmates gave them a boost of confidence.\r\n\r\nThese resources have already become a big part of our daily lessons. In STEM activities, small groups now come up to the board to share their solutions, compare strategies, and explain their thinking. One moment that stood out was when a group of students collaborated on a math problem they debated which method was best, wrote out different strategies side by side, and then cheered when they finally agreed on the correct solution. Having the whiteboard and supplies made this type of teamwork possible and fun.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these tools will continue to support hands-on learning and interactive lessons. We plan to use the board for quick review games, brainstorming during science experiments, and showcasing student-created word problems.

Before, we constantly struggled with dried-out markers and worn-out supplies, but now the kids have everything they need to stay engaged and confident in their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, the excitement in the room was unforgettable—my students screamed with joy! They were thrilled to finally have fresh materials to use. It might seem like a small thing, but to them, having their own working whiteboard and enough markers was a huge deal.

In May, as part of our school's end-of-year projects, my students will be building water filtration system models and designing their own Rube Goldberg machines. The whiteboards and markers will be crucial as they brainstorm, plan, sketch, and revise their designs in teams. These hands-on STEM projects are the perfect way to apply what they've learned this year, and because of you, they'll have the tools they need to think like real scientists and engineers.
