Students now use them daily during math, literacy, and social studies lessons to brainstorm, collaborate, and solve problems together. One of the most meaningful moments came during a social studies project on immigration, when students used all three boards at once — one group charted timelines, another sketched migration routes, and a third responded to guiding questions. Seeing them move freely, revise their thinking, and explain their ideas to peers showed just how much these tools are enhancing their engagement and confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' excitement was immediate. They gathered around, eager to write, erase, and share their thoughts, and several commented on how the whiteboards made learning feel more interactive and \"real.\" Instead of waiting their turn to participate, students now have expanded opportunities to express and visualize their ideas. This shift has helped them take greater ownership of their learning while giving me quick insight into their understanding through daily exit-ticket questions and collaborative problem-solving tasks.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue building on this momentum by integrating the whiteboards into ongoing project-based learning, peer-teaching activities, and end-of-unit gallery walks. Students will use them to plan multimedia presentations, lead mini-lessons for classmates, and showcase their collaborative work. These boards have opened the door to more dynamic and student-centered instruction, and we are deeply grateful to you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1760693445530,"projectUrl":"project/transform-learning-with-3-whiteboards-m/9679500/","projectTitle":"Transform Learning with 3 Whiteboards: More Space for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9943243_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756939703187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9943243"},{"teacherId":2230228,"projectId":9606721,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous donations to help my students have books that teach about events and people that came before us. \r\n\r\nWe began reading one of the books and have used the other books at this time to help us begin researching for 2 projects we are doing about Afro-Hispanic and Afro-Latino culture.

I am so lucky to have such wonderful people who understand the impact and necessity of having not only everyday school tools and resources, but interactive and engaging materials. \r\n My students use their pencil pouches and seat pockets every single day. Implementing these materials has been life changing! I have been able to establish strong, yet easy to follow routines that help our day to day run smoothy. Having pencil pouches has significantly decreased the number of lost or stolen pencils and coloring materials. Additionally, students are taking care of their scissors and glue because they have a safe and accessible place to store them! The use of seat pockets has helped in keeping students desks and learning areas organized. Students have learned that keeping our resources in their designated spaces keeps us organized and on task! \r\n I use my Post-it Super Sticky Easel Pad for all of my anchor charts and student data tracking. I love how visible the lines are and how well the sheets stick to various surfaces. \r\n The new and engaging resources such as the playdough and Magnetic Letters and Foods magnets have been fun for my students to use as well. They have enjoyed forming letters with the playdough on letter mats!

There were audible gasps, curious hands reaching out to touch the bins, and lots of eager questions about how we'd use everything. The Books on Wheels cart has become an instant favorite. We've filled it with leveled readers, classroom favorites, and rotating themed books. Because it's mobile, we can bring it right to small group tables, centers, or even into the hallway for quiet reading. It's helped transform how we organize and access books—and students are more engaged than ever during independent reading time.\r\n\r\nThe vibrant copy paper and pens have added a burst of creativity to our writing and project-based learning. One recent activity involved students creating \"All About Me\" booklets during our getting-to-know-you unit. They used the pastel binders to organize their work, and the color-coded pages and fun pens encouraged even reluctant writers to participate. The binders will continue to be used throughout the year as personal portfolios for student growth, reflections, and special projects. Watching my students light up as they took ownership of their learning was incredibly heartwarming—and it's all thanks to your generous support.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're planning a research project where students will explore topics of personal interest and create presentation binders using these same materials. The organization tools and creative supplies are laying a strong foundation for independence, confidence, and pride in their work.
