Your contribution ensures that every student—regardless of their personal circumstances—has the tools they need to take notes, revise their work, collaborate on projects, and take pride in what they create.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom feels more prepared, supported, and inspired. Thank you for investing in my students' success and for helping us build a space where learning can truly thrive.

In my classroom, students connect to the projector using my ipad to display problems on the board and collaborate with the classroom around solving math equations. We also do our notes and homework through the projector to help our students visually see their learning in action. Finally, we use the projector to play documentaries and other videos that relate to the topics we learn in class.\r\n\r\nIn addition, we were able to donate our old projector to another classroom in need.

At the start of the school year I was worried about how I would be able to obtain the necessary materials that my students would need for the year.\r\n\r\nThe materials provided by this donation have brought a great sense of relief and allowed me to put that energy and focus into teaching. Students know that pencils and color pencils are available for use and feel comfortable accessing them. I have an updated computer that works smoothly, enabling me to keep students engaged in learning. The students and myself appreciate your kindness. \r\n\r\nI would also like to thank the Donors Choose community for matching the donations and for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755719497903,"projectUrl":"project/needs-met-minds-engaged/9458268/","projectTitle":"Needs Met, Minds Engaged!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. N.

I use it daily to print colorful math posters that promote a growth mindset and encourage students to approach learning with confidence and curiosity. The vibrant visuals make our classroom feel welcoming and positive—a place where students can see that math is not just about numbers, but about patterns, connections, and creativity.\r\n\r\nIt's also been incredibly useful for instructional materials. I create step-by-step guides for the graphing calculator, color-coded to show each button press and output clearly. Students who used to struggle with following multi-step procedures now find it much easier to stay on track. I also use the printer to make color-coded solution guides and classroom signs with clear reminders and encouragement, which help all students—especially visual learners—stay organized and focused.\r\n\r\nOne student said they love how the colorful posters \"make the room feel happy.\" This printer has truly made learning more accessible and enjoyable.

I use it every day to store and organize daily practice materials, and it also serves as a podium during tutoring sessions or small-group instruction. Having everything within reach allows me to move freely around the classroom instead of being anchored to my main desk. This mobility has made it much easier to check in with students individually, monitor their progress, and provide support where it's needed most.\r\n\r\nStudents have noticed the difference too—they appreciate how I can bring the materials or examples right to their tables instead of calling them up to the front. During tutoring sessions, the desk becomes our small learning station where we review problems, go over strategies, and celebrate small wins. The setup feels more personal and less formal, which helps students open up and ask questions more comfortably.\r\n\r\nThis mobile standing desk has not only improved organization and efficiency but has also helped foster a more interactive, student-centered environment.","fullyFundedDate":1758594260204,"projectUrl":"project/math-on-the-move-a-mobile-desk-for-flex/9739127/","projectTitle":"Math on the Move: A Mobile Desk for Flexible Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Park","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7199592_orig.jpg?crop=1960,1960,x994,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588311176084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7199592"},{"teacherId":7199592,"projectId":9714199,"letterContent":"The Samsung Tablet has become an essential part of our daily classroom routine.

This has made lessons more interactive and visually clear—students can follow along as I write, erase, and highlight key ideas just as if they were looking at a live digital whiteboard. The instant feedback and flexibility have helped many of my students grasp complex math concepts more effectively, especially when we're exploring graphing or trigonometric identities.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is how dynamic our lessons have become. They love seeing how math connects visually through digital sketches, graphs, and color-coded notes.
