By connecting the iPad to our Promethean Board, I can move freely around the classroom while teaching. This allows me to project lessons, model strategies, and guide students using Google Slides and other digital resources, all while staying close to my students.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest improvements is how quickly I can showcase student work. As students complete assignments, I take a picture of their work and instantly display it on the Promethean Board. This makes our discussions much more engaging because students can see real examples of their classmates' thinking. It encourages collaboration, celebrates student effort, and gives everyone a chance to learn from one another.\r\n\r\nThe Apple Pencil has also made a difference. I can annotate directly on slides or student work to highlight key points and provide instant feedback. Students have started using the iPad and Pencil themselves to present their projects, explain their ideas, and even teach their classmates. This shift has created a more interactive, student-centered classroom where technology supports both creativity and deeper learning.","fullyFundedDate":1757687747305,"projectUrl":"project/unlock-creativity-with-ipad-air-pencil/9686370/","projectTitle":"Unlock Creativity with iPad Air + Pencil","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Choi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1277306"},{"teacherId":1034260,"projectId":9466050,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your amazing donations of all the chapter books, two beanbags and the LED fish tank!

Just the idea of having a cozy, special place to read has already boosted their interest in visiting our class library. Once it's up, this space will serve as more than just a reading nook—it will be our very own \"Calm Corner,\" a cozy and peaceful spot where students can take a break, self-regulate, and reset whenever they need it.\r\n\r\nCreating a calm and welcoming classroom environment is so important, and this canopy will play a big part in that.

They couldn't wait to try everything out! We've already used the cones and bean bags in a team-based PE game, and the smiles, laughter, and teamwork that came from that experience were unforgettable.

We now have the tools to build regular, engaging PE activities into our week—something that was difficult to do before due to lack of resources.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students a healthier, more active classroom environment where movement is something to look forward to.

Because of your generosity, a goal I've had since last year has finally become a reality—we are now able to read chapter books together as a class.\r\n\r\nThis donation has opened the door to a whole new level of learning and excitement in our second-grade room. Reading chapter books as a class allows us to dive deeper into stories, discuss characters and plot, and build strong comprehension skills together. It also builds community—we're all experiencing the story at the same time, sharing ideas, making predictions, and connecting with the characters.\r\n\r\nLast year, I dreamed of doing this, but without enough copies for every student, it just wasn't possible. Thanks to your donation, every child now has their own book in hand. That small but powerful detail has made a big difference—students feel more involved, more invested, and more proud of their reading.\r\n\r\nAlready, I've seen students who were hesitant readers begin to build confidence.
