As a co-taught classroom, we are proud of the progress each child has made, and your donation helps us recognize and celebrate those accomplishments in a special way.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we will be able to provide engaging hands-on activities during our end-of-year celebrations, including NEON Day, Camping Day, and STEAM Day. These experiences will allow students to review important skills, work together with classmates, explore their creativity, and create lasting memories as they finish second grade.\r\n\r\nYour kindness does more than provide supplies—it helps create opportunities for laughter, connection, confidence, and learning. Our students will be able to reflect on how much they have grown and celebrate being part of our wonderful classroom community.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of all the students and teachers in 2HM, thank you for believing in our classroom and helping make these special days possible.

Decodable texts provide them with an opportunity to practice the phonics skills they are learning in a supportive and successful way. Instead of guessing at words, students are able to apply their decoding strategies and experience the joy of reading independently.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these books, I have seen students become more engaged during reading lessons and more willing to take risks when reading unfamiliar words. The confidence they gain from successfully reading a book on their own carries over into other areas of learning as well. Some students who were once hesitant readers now eagerly reach for a book and are excited to share their reading success.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has provided more than just books—it has given students the opportunity to experience success, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of reading.

The wobble stools allow students who benefit from movement to gently wiggle while they work, helping them channel their energy in a productive way. The standing desk provides another option for students who concentrate better when they are able to stand and move while learning.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these materials, I have noticed students demonstrating increased attention, improved participation, and greater independence during reading and learning activities. The ability to choose a workspace that meets their individual needs has helped create a more positive and inclusive learning environment where all students can do their best work.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had a direct impact on our students' daily learning experiences.

To show students something on the board, demonstrate a math problem, or pull up a reading passage, I had to stand at my computer and teach from a distance. For a classroom of 5th graders with a wide range of needs and attention spans, that distance matters more than people might think.\r\n\r\nNow, with the iPad, I can screen share and teach from anywhere in the room! I can sit at the back table with a small group who needs extra support while still guiding the whole class through a lesson. I can kneel next to a student who's struggling and walk them through a problem on the screen without leaving everyone else behind. I can circulate, check in, and stay present, because the classroom comes with me.\r\n\r\nWhat my students respond to most is simply having me closer. Less time at the front of the room means more eye contact, more one-on-one moments, and more of the small interactions that build trust and keep kids on track.\r\n\r\nThis iPad didn't just upgrade my technology, it upgraded my ability to be present for every student in the room.","fullyFundedDate":1778254699070,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-tech/10267846/","projectTitle":"Classroom Tech","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Greenberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9620616_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758329452089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missdgreenberg"},{"teacherId":5561168,"projectId":9873233,"letterContent":"Who knew the magic of tennis balls?!

What a difference a simple little tool can make to the classroom environment. I love that they are black, so they will not show dirt nearly as quickly, and it gives a more modern look, too. \r\n\r\nThe tall, blue stools are popular seating at our small high-top tables.

When the materials first arrived, students were genuinely excited. Something as simple as having fresh pencils, colorful markers, and working erasers ready to use made a big difference. Students immediately began organizing the supplies and were eager to start using them during our lessons.\r\n\r\nWe use these shared supplies every day across subjects. During writing and social studies activities, students use the markers to highlight key ideas, annotate texts, and add visuals to projects. In math, students use the pencils and erasers as they work through multi-step problems, revise their thinking, and explain their reasoning. Having reliable materials available allows students to focus on learning instead of worrying about whether they have the tools they need.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was watching students collaborate during a recent group project. Because everyone had access to the supplies, students were able to contribute equally, share ideas, and take pride in their work. It created a sense of teamwork and ownership that is so important in a classroom community.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these supplies will continue to support daily learning, writing projects, math problem solving, and creative activities throughout the year. Having these materials available helps students stay organized, build independence, and approach their work with confidence.\r\n\r\nYour support ensures that every student in our classroom has what they need to learn, create, and succeed.

At our school, students come from a variety of economic and cultural backgrounds, but all are eager learners ready to engage with technology in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nBy integrating robotics and coding into our curriculum, students gain hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These tools provide an engaging way for younger students to develop algorithmic thinking, teamwork, and perseverance while learning through play and exploration. Through screen-free and hands-on activities, children are introduced to the foundations of coding while practicing communication, creativity, and resilience.\r\n\r\nThis project will allow us to purchase Botley 2.0 Coding Robot Classroom Sets, Finch Robots from BirdBrain Technologies, Math Mats, and Ozobot Mats. These engaging tools offer age-appropriate opportunities for students to explore STEM concepts through interactive learning. Robotics encourages curiosity and confidence while helping students build essential skills in sequencing, logic, and collaboration.\r\n\r\nSTEM learning should be fun and exciting. With tools like Botley, Finch, and Ozobot, we can design lessons that inspire curiosity and prepare students for the technological world around them.
