Your donations brought an easel pad, a standing desk, a tablet, and a wobble chair directly into our classroom, and the impact has been immediate.\r\n\r\nIn today's classroom, technology and dynamic learning tools go hand in hand. The tablet allows students to work interactively on math and reading apps, giving them immediate feedback and personalized practice tailored to their learning level. Having this hands-on technology makes daily lessons feel like an interactive adventure rather than traditional classwork. The students were especially excited when they saw the tablet and the standing desk—they couldn't wait to try them out!\r\n\r\nThese new additions have made a huge difference, especially for students who need movement to focus. One group a day gets to use the wobble chairs and they are so excited when it is there turn! The easel pad has also become a tool for showing our learning during math!

During our daily lessons, students have been able to use the resources to support their learning, practice new skills, and stay engaged in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nAs an educator, I know that students learn best when they feel comfortable, supported, and excited to come to school. Programs like this help teachers go beyond the basic necessities and create meaningful learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. Even small classroom improvements can have a lasting impact on students' confidence and daily learning experiences. Continued investment in teachers and classroom resources is an investment in Nevada's future, and I am grateful to be part of a program that recognizes and supports the important work happening in our classrooms every day.","fullyFundedDate":1788620820863,"projectUrl":"project/small-rewards-big-impact/10579948/","projectTitle":"Small Rewards, Big Impact","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9467085"},{"teacherId":463076,"projectId":10579543,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my students!

The magnetic pocket charts and display trays give us space to work with letters, words, and sentences during small-group lessons.\r\n\r\nWith the dry-erase boards, every student can practice spelling and writing and show their answers. We can build a word together in the pocket chart, say its sounds, and then write it on our boards. The mirrors help students see how their mouths move when practicing sounds and pronunciation, and the pencil grips provide extra support during writing. As students grow, we will work toward using the words they learn in complete sentences.\r\n\r\nThese materials also give me different ways to celebrate students' effort and progress.

Thanks to your generosity, these new resources have completely transformed our reading units across all grade levels, giving our students rich, meaningful opportunities to build essential literacy skills and cultural empathy.\r\n\r\nWhile many know picture books as wonderful tools for storytime, we use these specific titles to teach critical reading analysis. Through these paired texts, students learn how to compare and contrast narrative fiction with informational nonfiction. They examine how a fiction author uses character perspective, sensory details, and dialogue to convey a message, while a nonfiction text uses real photographs, bold vocabulary, and diagrams to present facts. We also explore how diverse authors draw from their personal cultures and background experiences to tell authentic stories about family, community, and tradition.\r\n\r\nReading in our library is active, collaborative, and joyful! You will see students gathered together for guided read-alouds, examining text structures, and holding fiction and nonfiction books side-by-side to compare features. Our students have been thrilled to see diverse lived experiences, languages, and cultures reflected on the pages. One student who usually hesitates to pick up informational texts completely lit up during our neighborhood units, excitedly making connections between the illustrations and their own daily life. Having access to high-interest, representative books has motivated even our most reluctant readers to participate and ask thoughtful questions.

Looking through sample projects using the software shows students that the printing options are almost endless and that if they can think or design it, printing it will also be a success. \r\nOur students are now able to see firsthand the benefits of how technology will directly impact them and their school community.
