The external hard drives and SD cards you provided have been an incredible resource for our students. With these tools, we can now store and organize photos from various projects, field trips, and student work. This has not only enhanced their digital literacy skills but has also allowed them to take pride in preserving their learning experiences. These technologies have made it easier for students to manage their digital portfolios and reflect on their growth over time.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for our students has been the opportunity to capture and store their own work. Many of them are thrilled to see their projects, pictures, and presentations saved in one place, accessible whenever they need to showcase their achievements. Some students, particularly those who are more interested in photography or digital media, have really embraced the new equipment. They've become more engaged in capturing high-quality images for assignments and projects, and it's clear that they feel empowered by the ability to store and organize their work digitally. The excitement they express about using these tools has sparked a deeper interest in technology and how it can be used creatively, which has been a joy to witness.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making these advancements possible. Your support has truly had a meaningful impact on our classroom and the way our students approach learning and technology.","fullyFundedDate":1642969754678,"projectUrl":"project/back-back-back-it-up/6139735/","projectTitle":"Back, Back, Back It Up!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fuhr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4093743_orig.jpg?crop=878,878,x649,y241&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1567636003762","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsafuhr"},{"teacherId":4093743,"projectId":8830608,"letterContent":"Since you made your generous contributions to our project, students have been happier than ever. With all of the alternative seating you have provided, students are able to move and wiggle without risking breaking furniture that isn't designed for it. Their concentration has increased because they are getting to move and work, something that is very important for the human brain.\r\nStudents also have the ability to fidget and move their hands and fingers while using the thinking putty or magnetic rings to help them focus. \r\nI have noticed a significant increase in student behavior, a decrease in harmful side conversations, less drawing on desks or misuse of school materials, all because of your donations. Learning is a challenge for many of us, and you have made it easier for the 300+ kids who walk through my classroom every year.","fullyFundedDate":1733266284133,"projectUrl":"project/we-like-to-move-it-move-it/8830608/","projectTitle":"We Like to Move It!

This technology has already had a significant impact on how we teach and how our students engage with learning. With the TV, we can now project lessons, videos, and interactive activities for the entire class to see clearly, which enhances student participation and focus. It has become an essential tool for presenting visual aids, showing educational content, and guiding students through complex topics, making learning more dynamic and accessible.\r\n\r\nOur students are particularly excited about the new TV because it allows them to experience lessons in a more engaging and interactive way. Whether it's watching educational videos, participating in group activities, or viewing their own work on a larger screen, the technology has brought a new level of excitement to the classroom. Some students, especially those who thrive with visual learning, have really embraced the opportunities this new tool provides. They're more involved in class discussions and have become more confident in sharing their ideas, as the TV gives them a clearer and more immediate connection to the lesson.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support.
