Your donation of new vertical whiteboards and Yoto players has already made a meaningful difference in my students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe vertical whiteboards have transformed the way students engage with lessons. They encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and active participation. Students are more willing to share their thinking, work through challenges, and learn from one another. The ability to stand, write, and visually organize ideas has strengthened both their academic understanding and their confidence in expressing their thoughts.\r\n\r\nThe Yoto players have had an equally powerful impact. Access to audiobooks has opened new doors for many of my readers. Students who once felt hesitant or discouraged are now immersed in stories, building vocabulary, improving comprehension, and developing a genuine love of reading. Listening to fluent narration helps them model pacing, expression, and phrasing, while also reinforcing critical thinking skills. Most importantly, students are beginning to see themselves as capable, confident readers and thinkers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only supported academic success but has also nurtured curiosity, independence, and self-belief in our classroom. I am truly grateful for your investment in my students and their futures.","fullyFundedDate":1763846662323,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-readers-and-mathematicians/9909853/","projectTitle":"Engaging Readers and Mathematicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8367067"},{"teacherId":8365115,"projectId":8979469,"letterContent":"Thank you to all the generous donors who supported my 6th graders with essential classroom supplies!
