The mobility allows me to move it seamlessly between different learning areas—whether we are on the carpet for whole-group reading, in our math stations, or working in small groups. This flexibility has transformed the way students engage with lessons, because the board comes to them rather than them having to adjust around a fixed space.\r\n\r\nFor my students, many of whom are still building confidence in reading and problem-solving, the mobile whiteboard makes learning feel approachable and fun. They love taking turns writing their ideas, circling answers, or illustrating their thinking with markers. Their faces light up when they get to be the \"teacher\" at the board, and I can see their confidence growing each time.","fullyFundedDate":1755695998553,"projectUrl":"project/mobile-ideas-on-the-move/9378660/","projectTitle":"Mobile Ideas on the Move!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ernsky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8360309_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722575598779","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-ernsky"},{"teacherId":1682379,"projectId":9288629,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting the arts! My 5th grade students are enjoying their sketchbooks. They have been busy decorating the cover of their sketchbooks with their name in bubble letters and creating an abstract/drip art background. The elements of art pages in the beginning of the sketchbook are a great way to reinforce their learning objectives. The blank pages are used for free draw or as a rough sketch/draft before the start on their final projects. They also really like the drawing reference pages in the back. \r\n\r\nFunding for schools in Arizona is at an all-time low and I teach at a school where more than 98% of the students live in poverty.

The guitar stands and the music binders helped us organize all of our materials and music to ensure the most successful recital we have had! The students were able to take control of their learning and organize their materials as needed for their individual as well as the group performance. We had six grade-level recitals in one day, which was an incredible amount of work, setup, preparation, and execution. The students not only rose to the occasion, but they were able to do so because they had all of the resources they needed to be timely, prepared, and confident in their performances. Thank you for helping them be leaders and wonderful musicians with these much-needed resources.

Between the guiros, the tuners, and the maintenance items, my students have developed new independent learning skills and new interests in musical concepts. The ukulele tuners especially have changed my way of teaching and the students' way of learning. I no longer have to spend my entire plan time tuning and checking ukuleles between classes; instead, my students can tune and care for their ukuleles all on their own. Most young learners do not learn to tune their own instruments until middle school or beyond, yet our students have mastered the concept because of the tools you donated to our classroom. I cannot thank you enough for providing my room and my students with everything possible they need to succeed.

Most of them had never had animal crackers before and were excited to see the little animals. They even began sorting them by the sound of the first letter of the animals names. Monkey - mmmm.

As we've wrapped up our other units, they continuously ask when they can start playing the new ukuleles. Now that we have been using them and making music, they are over the moon about the instruments and wanted to write you \"thank you\" letters to show their gratitude.
