We have some chrome books at the school but most of them are slow and broken. This new addition made it fun for students to engage in some of the online tools we have offered, especially when video and audio is involved. My goal is to raise more funds to get more Apple devices for my students to use and balance their learning experience with digital forms of pedagogue and not only teacher led instruction. Thank you for making this happen.","fullyFundedDate":1777908171233,"projectUrl":"project/ai-assistance-mathematics-tutor/9986544/","projectTitle":"AI Assistance Mathematics Tutor","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bohbot","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp403327_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536778149172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ybohbot"},{"teacherId":1111603,"projectId":10618580,"letterContent":"Since I'm donating to myself, I'll write to myself.

Hopefully they appreciate your hard work and you will see them down the line as mature adults. \r\n\r\nGood luck at MS51.

It has been a career-long project and I am proud of it. The expectation for us these days is to teach reading out of a workbook and limit our instruction to a list of texts chosen by a corporation, rather than offer an ever-growing library of books and provide a list of recommendations informed by our years of experience with children. I'm glad there are still kids who love to read and I hear this enthusiastic announcement almost every day: \"I finished a book!\" Let's all remember to keep encouraging kids to read! Here's a poem I wrote this morning about my gratitude for books and my inspiration to keep pushing them!\r\n\r\nTo be dauntless enough\r\nto walk in the path\r\nof one who accepts\r\na quest of unknown outcome,\r\nhoping to find answers\r\nto questions not yet asked, \r\nkeys\r\nto foreign realities,\r\nor acceptance\r\nfrom doors stuck in their frames,\r\nis to keep turning pages\r\nand learning from mistakes\r\nyou never have to make.\r\nA gift given\r\nto your future self\r\nis understanding\r\nyou may not know you have\r\nrealized in a life\r\nbetter lived\r\nbecause of books.","fullyFundedDate":1683640391879,"projectUrl":"project/spy-school-and-middle-school/7330065/","projectTitle":"Spy School and Middle School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fournier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msfournier"},{"teacherId":34687,"projectId":10217128,"letterContent":"These supplies helped me make my classroom more colorful and inviting this school year.
