The tablet has also been invaluable. We use it to guide students step-by-step through technological apps, websites, and resources, ensuring they have hands-on support whenever they feel stuck or want to explore new ways to succeed.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the tactile putty has proven very useful for anxious students during discussions, while the self-esteem and positive thinking books have been a hit for those working on how they view themselves and their capabilities.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our students are not only getting the academic and emotional support they need, but they are also learning how to care for themselves one another.

We use themed pencils during writing lessons and prizes as rewards for students who demonstrate hard work, positive behavior, and perseverance. The prizes have also been a great addition to our classroom celebrations and have helped make learning feel more exciting.\r\n\r\nWalking into a themed room with matching tablecloths and pencils make writing more exciting for my students which results in high engagement. Writing becomes fun instead of a daunting task when the room is decorated and they get a special pencil for the lesson. \r\n\r\nThese small rewards have made a meaningful difference in our classroom by encouraging students to participate, take pride in their work, and celebrate their accomplishments.

Your generosity has made a meaningful impact on both our boys and girls basketball teams. Students used the iPads to record their basketball games and practices, allowing them to review their performance, reflect on their skills, and make improvements. Being able to watch themselves play has helped students better understand strategies, teamwork, and areas for growth in a way that traditional instruction alone cannot provide.\r\n\r\nThe heat press has been equally exciting for our students. Using the iPads, students designed their own shirt ideas, bringing creativity and personal expression into the classroom. Once their designs were complete, the heat press allowed us to turn those ideas into real shirts. This hands-on experience made learning feel authentic and gave students a sense of pride in creating something they could wear and share with others.\r\n\r\nWhat has been especially powerful is seeing how different students have connected with this technology. Some students who are passionate about basketball have taken the lead in recording and analyzing gameplay, while others have really thrived during the design process. These tools have created opportunities for all students to engage, build confidence, and succeed in new ways. Thank you again for supporting our students and helping make these experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1768706759823,"projectUrl":"project/learning-in-the-classroom-and-on-the-cou/10023346/","projectTitle":"Learning in the Classroom and on the Court","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fowler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9370834_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777846999592","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9370834"},{"teacherId":9347403,"projectId":9998317,"letterContent":"Thank you for all the supplemental math supplies, the students love them. \r\nThe crafts for my SEL class have been successful and keep my students engaged.\r\nThe crafts are meant to help the students connect with who they are as a person~ such as making bottled sand art.

The cozy environment has made a meaningful difference in helping them focus and enjoy books in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our students are now more engaged during reading time and are better able to participate in small group discussions.

Your generosity has already made such a positive impact on my middle school English Language Learners.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the photo printer to capture special moments when students show improvement in their speaking and writing. When a student reaches a milestone or demonstrates great effort, I take their picture and proudly add it to our classroom Wall of Fame. One of the most exciting moments happens when I roll out the red carpet and invite the student to walk across it while their classmates cheer for them. This small celebration makes a huge difference for students who are learning English and building confidence in sharing their voices.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were incredibly excited. The red carpet instantly made them curious, and they couldn't wait to find out how it would be used. Once they realized it was meant to celebrate their achievements, they were motivated to work even harder. Many students began encouraging each other, saying things like, \"You're going to make the Wall of Fame!\"\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue building our Wall of Fame as students grow in their language skills. We are currently working on speaking and writing activities where students share personal stories and practice presenting their ideas in English. As they improve, more students will earn their moment on the red carpet and a place on our Wall of Fame. These celebrations remind them that every step forward matters.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a classroom where effort, growth, and courage are celebrated.

We try to build a classroom community of celebration as we celebrate the little wins along the way with each other. Each week, students are highlighted during a \"Writing Wall of Fame\" ceremony for their efforts and improvements. These materials helped us develop a physical wall in our classroom to display students' hard work as they work to improve their English language skills. Now our Wall of Fame isn't just a theoretical wall, but a bright and vibrant space that students look forward to seeing their contributions on each week. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, the Cricut has become a frequently used tool to help develop other instructional materials to make learning fun and come to life. For instance, we were able to create giant Tic-Tac-Glow games using the Cricut for students to practice their reading skills. This game brought learning to life and motivated students to practice specific reading skills that were targeted through data. \r\n\r\nWith these materials, students remain motivated and steadfast in their journey of mastering a new language, and I cannot thank you enough for this opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1768672738015,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-lessons-that-inspire-learning/10002257/","projectTitle":"Engaging Lessons That Inspire Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barnhart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9369106_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700265682773","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbarnhart"},{"teacherId":9368385,"projectId":10006923,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom through this project!
