It has enabled me to provide a wide variety of read-aloud books to my students that they truly enjoy. By incorporating diverse texts into our daily routine, I am able to foster essential literacy skills such as comprehension, Spanish vocabulary, and fluency in reading. My students enjoy the interactive experience of me reading to them in person rather than watching a read aloud on the screen. In fact, many of my students eagerly anticipate our daily read-aloud, often asking for more stories. This donation has truly made a positive impact.

Thanks to your kindness, my students now have access to essential math manipulatives and resources that are already making a significant impact in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith the new math toolboxes, students are able to engage with math concepts in a hands-on way, using tools like base ten blocks, number lines, counters, and fraction tiles. These resources have made abstract concepts much more concrete, allowing students to visualize and manipulate numbers in a way that builds a deeper understanding of the material.\r\n\r\nThe math toolboxes have been particularly invaluable in helping students who may struggle with traditional methods of instruction. By working directly with these tools, my students are not just learning the \"how\" of math but also the \"why.\" They are gaining confidence as they see firsthand how these tools can help them solve problems, recognize patterns, and grasp complex ideas more easily.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, math can be intimidating. But with the support provided by these toolboxes, they are beginning to realize that math is not only accessible, but it can also be fun! I've already seen an improvement in their engagement and participation during lessons. They're more willing to take risks, try new strategies, and ask questions—something I truly believe will carry over into all areas of their learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation has had a lasting impact on my students' educational journey, and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. By helping to provide these math toolboxes, you've equipped my students with the resources they need to succeed, and you've instilled a love for learning that will last far beyond this school year.\r\n\r\nThank you for your belief in the power of education and for investing in the future of my students. Your support is making a real difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1753372161170,"projectUrl":"project/building-math-minds-one-tool-at-a-time/9436076/","projectTitle":"Building Math Minds One Tool at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mejia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9095995_orig.png?crop=326,326,x0,y45&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752160503044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9095995"},{"teacherId":9550691,"projectId":9520929,"letterContent":"These materials have transformed the way we learn math.
