Students who have trouble seeing the board have used the laptop to copy notes from the laptop. Students have also used it to research or finish online tasks, especially when the school's Chromebooks have trouble connecting to the wifi.\r\n\r\nWhile a new student is waiting for their account to be made, they have been using the laptop for digital activities, like working on the different websites we use in our math classroom. We love that we can quickly connect and send files to the laptop, without having to email it to myself. During vertical whiteboard worktime, I take pictures of students' work. I quickly send the photos to the MacBook (or as my students call it \"MathBook\"), and we have a class discussion about different strategies they used to answer a question.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing this additional resource to our classroom space. I know thank-you notes were not required, but some of my students still wanted to say, \"Thank you.\" The funding of this project means so much to us.

The students' academic performance has blossomed. For example, during a pre-assessment class averages hovered round 30% of correct answers. After the lesson plans (including the chess game where students had to be able to answer a subject-matter questions correctly before moving their chess piece), the post-assessment average was 96% of correct answers. While many factors contributed to this overall success, building fun into a classroom is key and cannot be understated. The students look forward to incorporating scientific academic rigor into a game of chess and even ask for a study guide in preparation thereof!\r\n\r\nMoreover, having kids play chess also builds lifelong social-emotional skills.

It thrills me to be able to offer them something to help them make it to lunch, and be able to concentrate on their work. \r\n\r\nWith all of the anger and divisiveness students see in the world, it is great to have times like this to help remind them that there is good, and people can come together and care about each other.
