Because of your support, I was able to purchase dry erase markers, magnetic erasers, card stock, a laminator, and laminating sheets. All of which are already making a meaningful impact on my students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, students regularly present lessons to their peers. They create their own PowerPoint slides, model example problems, and then give their classmates problems to solve using mini whiteboards and markers at their desks. We also use large vertical whiteboards around the room for collaborative activities. With the frequency of use, markers tend to run out quickly, so having a strong supply has been incredibly helpful. The use of the magnetic dry erasers make it a handy tool that is right there on the wall. Your donation directly supports daily engagement, leadership, and active participation.\r\n\r\nYou also helped me purchase a laminator, laminating sheets, and card stock, tools that my students many not even notice they are using, but make a huge difference behind the scenes. I've been able to create durable grouping card and reusable materials instead of constantly making disposable copies. This not only save resources but also allows me to create long-lasting instructional tools.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your generosity has directly improved the quality of learning in my classroom. I am deeply grateful that you chose to invest in my classroom and my students. I hope you feel proud knowing your donation is being used thoughtfully and effectively.\r\n\r\nYou truly made a difference. Thank you again.
