Students are actively able to see the math in action.\r\n\r\nAlthough the Texas Instrument calculators have a bit of a learning curve, my students are eager to learn and figure out ways for them to solve problems by digging into the graphs of functions and how they transform.","fullyFundedDate":1746845731984,"projectUrl":"project/calculate-joy-in-the-math-classroom/9275235/","projectTitle":"Calculate Joy in the Math Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cooney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7993593_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y176&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724253324052","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7993593"},{"teacherId":9692825,"projectId":9240303,"letterContent":"Our students have been diving into the new books with excitement, and the impact has been powerful.

Your support ensures that our teens have access to engaging, thought-provoking, and diverse literature, allowing them to explore new worlds, develop critical thinking skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading. In a community where access to quality books can be limited, your kindness helps bridge the gap, giving every teen the opportunity to learn, dream, and grow through the power of storytelling.\r\n\r\nBooks have the power to ignite imaginations, expand perspectives, and create meaningful connections, and thanks to you, our Lit Squad members can experience this firsthand. Whether diving into a gripping novel, discussing important themes, or simply finding comfort in a good story, these books will leave a lasting impact on their lives. Your generosity does more than fill our shelves—it inspires young minds and strengthens our community, proving that every story shared and every page turned can make a difference.

I work at a Hutterite colony in Montana and while there is a library in town my students don't have regular access to books. Being able to put these on the shelves has given them opportunities to read new books and expand their knowledge and passion of reading.\r\n Many of the families have also enjoyed the expansion of our classroom library and come over and borrow books from our shelves. So not only are you helping my students but you are enriching the adults lives as well. I have even had new people coming over to borrow books that haven't done so before and that's in part thanks to you and your finding of this project!\r\n My students have to read and do book reports weekly so this has given them new books to read and report on. Because of these reports I have actually ended up reading some of the books purchased myself.
