Your support has provided us with a solution that is not only functional but also essential for our daily operations. \r\n\r\nBefore this gift, managing our devices was a constant challenge; as the weight of the Chromebooks were causing my hanging files to break. Constant replacement of these files were needed. Having a functional, secure, and durable place to house our Chromebooks has completely transformed our classroom. We now have a dedicated station that ensures every device is accounted for and safely locked away at the end of the day.","fullyFundedDate":1759594338023,"projectUrl":"project/replacing-our-paper-hanging-files-with-a/9781454/","projectTitle":"Replacing Our Paper Hanging Files with a Durable Chromebook Cart","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kamaka","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10295714"},{"teacherId":9687060,"projectId":9702480,"letterContent":"As a second grade teacher, receiving a MacBook Air has greatly enhanced the way I design and deliver instruction for my students. The technology allows me to plan more engaging, organized, and differentiated lessons that better meet the needs of all learners. I use it to create clear visuals, interactive slides, and hands-on activities that help make abstract concepts more concrete for young students. Having reliable technology also allows me to quickly access instructional resources, model skills in real time, and adjust lessons based on student understanding.\r\n\r\nWhat is most exciting for my students is how lessons feel more engaging and dynamic. They are more attentive when I can project visuals, model problem-solving step by step, or share stories, images, and videos that connect to what we are learning. The MacBook helps lessons move smoothly, which keeps students focused and excited to participate. Even small changes—like clearer directions, visuals, and interactive activities—make a big difference for second graders.\r\n\r\nI've noticed that several students have especially benefited from this improved instruction. Visual learners and English language learners better understand lessons when I can support instruction with images, diagrams, and examples. Students who typically struggle to stay engaged are more focused when lessons are well-paced and interactive. Overall, the MacBook Air has helped me become a more effective and responsive teacher, which directly supports student learning and success in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762265286063,"projectUrl":"project/powering-lessons-with-technology/9702480/","projectTitle":"Powering Lessons with Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9687060"},{"teacherId":9687060,"projectId":9782725,"letterContent":"This project has made a meaningful difference in my students' learning by increasing engagement, motivation, and confidence. While many donors are familiar with technology at home, in our classroom it is used intentionally to support academic growth. We have one iPad, which is used during small-group instruction for targeted practice in reading and math. It allows students to learn at their own pace, receive immediate feedback, and build confidence in a supportive setting. Students are especially excited by the interactive activities on the iPad, as well as hands-on learning with LEGOs, which help make math concepts more concrete and encourage collaboration. The reading log necklaces, incentives, and student bags have also been powerful motivators, encouraging responsibility, positive behavior, and a love of reading. Several students who were previously hesitant or less engaged have shown increased enthusiasm and participation, taking greater ownership of their learning. Overall, these resources have helped create a positive, joyful classroom environment where students feel supported and eager to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1759607749843,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-students-through-tech-play-a/9782725/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Students Through Tech, Play, and Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9687060"},{"teacherId":8356075,"projectId":9772274,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations. My students are busy writing at the boards everyday, so we always need to replenish white board supplies. Using whiteboards and markers is essential to the work we do, but they run out so quickly. This round of pens should last us quite some time. We love that each board now has a colored option for shading in graphs or annotating our work. We really needed new erasers for both the main boards and individual boards so thank you helping us purchase an eraser for every student in each of my classes. In addition, the microfiber cloths allow us to deep clean the boards when needed.\r\n The new binders and amazing pentel pens are being put to great use as I provide student feedback and collect data about my students. I can't thank you enough for the replacement white pencil caps. The erasers that come with the pencils wear out so quickly! Other helpful items were double stick tape that I find myself using for everyday school tasks, and contact paper to cover my less than attractive classroom doors. Finally, the most exciting gift is our thermal printer and labels. I can now quickly print out labels for student journals, folders and supplies right from my phone. \r\n My students and I are so grateful for your generosity.

The students are truly making use of the additional space within the classroom. Initially we had big and bulky chairs that surrounded our classroom conference table. Now with those monstrosities removed, we have more space since the stools and cushions fit perfectly underneath the table allowing for more space within our small classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the stools and podium, they were so excited and wanted to set everything up right away, which they did. I have a classroom of 19 students so we had to be sure to figure out a rotation system so that everyone got their chance to use the stools while meeting with their small groups on the large table.","fullyFundedDate":1759374908975,"projectUrl":"project/creative-collaborative-conversations/9772890/","projectTitle":"Creative Collaborative Conversations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nagaishi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nagaishi"},{"teacherId":9807767,"projectId":9782493,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation. The students have been loving the new STEM toys. It has been so much fun watching them collaborate and work together to build structures.\r\n\r\n I have seen them grow creatively and their speaking and listening skills are improving everyday. One project we did was incorporated with our geometry unit in math. Students needed to build a structure to cover their chosen toy friend. It was great to see the students implement the engineering and design process. \r\n\r\nNext, we will be working on building a structure and choosing materials to cover the structure to protect our friends from heat.

Your generosity has brought a large TV and a document camera into our classroom, fundamentally transforming how my students learn and connect with our lessons.\r\n\r\nBefore your gift, visibility was our biggest hurdle. It was heartbreaking to see students squint, lean, or feel left out because they couldn't clearly see the PowerPoints, documents, and vital visuals I was trying to share. That frustration often overshadowed their natural eagerness to learn.\r\n\r\nNow, that frustration is gone!\r\n\r\nThe new, larger TV is a window for every child. No matter where they are seated, everyone has a front-row view of the instruction. This simple clarity has created an atmosphere of inclusion and quiet confidence.\r\n\r\nThe document camera takes that interactivity one step further. We are now able to model problems in real time, share student work instantly, and collaboratively edit documents. Learning has become a truly shared, interactive experience.\r\n\r\nMy students are so deserving of these resources. Because of your support, they come in every day feeling confident, connected, and excited to fully engage with every lesson. You haven't just bought equipment; you've bought visibility, equality, and connection for a whole classroom of young learners.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to sharing updates on all the amazing things we accomplish with these tools!","fullyFundedDate":1757802836299,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-lessons-to-life-on-the-big-scre/9701217/","projectTitle":"Bringing Lessons to Life on the Big Screen","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9469239_orig.jpg?crop=804,804,x0,y45&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718301686998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9469239"},{"teacherId":10044806,"projectId":9775520,"letterContent":"Our new classroom TV has completely transformed the way my students learn each day!

This has made a huge difference in their focus, participation, and overall engagement during lessons.

They were thrilled to have so many fun options to look forward to, and it has truly motivated them to stay on task and make good choices throughout the day.\r\nOur next steps are to continue growing our prize box and restocking snacks, as the students have been earning and enjoying them regularly—especially those who don't always have snacks from home.
