Before, lesson planning often felt limited by time and resources, but now I can design, organize, and adjust lessons more effectively. The Surface allows me to seamlessly integrate digital tools into my planning, making lessons more engaging and tailored to my students' needs.\r\n\r\nIn the classroom, the device has transformed the way I present material. Its portability and touchscreen features let me move around the room while projecting lessons, keeping students' attention and encouraging more interactive learning. Creating charts, graphs, and visual aids has become faster and more efficient, helping me explain complex ideas in ways my students can easily understand.\r\n\r\nOverall, this tool has elevated both my teaching and my students' engagement. It has truly given me the flexibility and creativity I need to make every lesson meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1746787401362,"projectUrl":"project/touching-the-surface/9095035/","projectTitle":"Touching the Surface","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5933922_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693863540057","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5933922"},{"teacherId":5933922,"projectId":9095185,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of a washer and dryer to our school. Your kindness is meeting a deeply felt need in our community, and I can't express enough how much this means to our students and their families.\r\n\r\nHaving access to clean uniforms might seem like a small thing, but for many of our students, it makes a world of difference. It helps them come to school with confidence, dignity, and a sense of belonging—ready to learn without the worry or embarrassment that can come from things beyond their control.\r\n\r\nThis gift is more than just a machine—it's a message to our students that they are seen, valued, and supported.

It's amazing how such a simple tool can create a calmer, more productive learning environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the headphones also give students a sense of independence.
