It's been great to watch my students grow not only in their scholarly abilities but in how they have stepped up to take care of their classroom supplies. They hold each other accountable to \"be kind to their books\". Watching them get excited to read during English class is beyond rewarding.

Your generosity has given our high school students better access to our math curriculum, Mathia, and it has already made a powerful difference in how they learn and engage with mathematics.\r\n\r\nWhile many people use technology at home for entertainment or communication, in our classroom the iPad is being used as a learning tool that gives students immediate, personalized support. Through Mathia, students receive step-by-step guidance, feedback, and practice that adjusts to their individual needs. This is especially helpful for students who struggle with math confidence or have gaps in their foundational skills. The iPad allows them to work at their own pace, revisit concepts, and truly understand the \"why\" behind the math instead of just memorizing steps.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously felt frustrated or discouraged in math have really connected with this technology. Some students who were hesitant to ask for help now feel more confident because Mathia guides them privately and patiently. Others who had trouble staying focused are more motivated because the lessons are interactive and tailored to their level. We are already seeing students spend more time on task and show greater confidence in their math abilities.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a more accessible, encouraging learning environment for our students. Thank you for investing in their future and helping them build the math skills they need to be successful in school and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1760645083371,"projectUrl":"project/support-math-literacy-and-independence/9829010/","projectTitle":"Support Math Literacy and Independence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Weschler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5782597"},{"teacherId":8364935,"projectId":9832458,"letterContent":"Receiving donations through DonorsChoose has a direct and meaningful impact on my students' learning by expanding the tools they have access to in the classroom. Adding an iPad and keyboard creates more opportunities for interactive, technology-based learning that supports different learning styles and needs. Students can use these tools for research, writing, presentations, and skill-building activities that help strengthen both academic and digital literacy skills. Technology also increases engagement, as students are often more motivated and focused when they can learn through hands-on, modern resources.\r\nThese donations help create a more equitable learning environment by ensuring students have access to the same types of tools they will encounter in higher education and future careers. The iPad and keyboard will allow students to collaborate more effectively, complete assignments more efficiently, and build confidence in using technology responsibly. Ultimately, this support goes beyond just providing equipment—it empowers students to become more independent learners and better prepares them for success both inside and outside the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760983182346,"projectUrl":"project/support-literacy-needs-in-our-classroom/9832458/","projectTitle":"Support Literacy Needs In Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8364935_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651156258894","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8364935"},{"teacherId":8097275,"projectId":9216358,"letterContent":"I would like to take a moment to thank you for the generous donation to my life skills classroom.

The first project we used them for was a group marketing poster, where students had to design an advertisement to represent a product they created. Having these supplies allowed them to add bright, creative detail to their work, and their personalities really shined through in the designs.\r\n\r\nWhen I first passed out the materials, you could see their faces light up they immediately started sharing ideas for how to make their projects stand out. For many of my students, having access to fresh, high-quality supplies makes a huge difference in their engagement and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using these resources for our upcoming entrepreneurship unit, where students will create business logos and branding for their own start-up ideas.

These games have brought an exciting, hands-on approach to learning finance and marketing, making complex concepts more engaging and accessible for my students.

It was incredible to watch them grasp the importance of budgeting and long-term financial planning in such a fun and interactive way.\r\n\r\nWhen we introduced Snake Oil, the classroom was filled with laughter and creativity. Students stepped into the role of entrepreneurs, pitching imaginative products to different customer groups, refining their marketing skills along the way. Seeing them confidently craft persuasive sales pitches and think on their feet was a highlight of our lessons. Even students who were initially hesitant to speak up found themselves fully engaged in the activity.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to incorporate these games into our entrepreneurship and financial literacy units, reinforcing concepts like risk-taking, strategic planning, and persuasive communication.
