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! We now use it to display lesson presentations for reading, writing, vocabulary, math, geography, and science, making every subject more interactive and visual. My students love being able to watch educational videos, participate in class games like Kahoot!, and even take short brain breaks that help them refocus and recharge.\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is how clearly they can see what's being projected on the screen—no more straining or guessing from the back of the room! This has made a huge difference in their focus, participation, and overall engagement during lessons. A few of my students who once struggled to stay on task are now some of the most eager to share answers and join in class discussions.

My students and I have used the snacks, prizes, and toys to build a classroom incentive system that encourages positive behavior and responsibility. Students earn tickets for good behavior, completing their assignments, or turning in projects on time. They can redeem their tickets for snacks before recess or save them for our Fun Friday raffle, where a few lucky winners get to choose a prize from our prize box.\r\nThe look on my students' faces when they first saw all the new snacks and prizes was priceless! 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. Thanks to this project, our classroom has become an even more positive, supportive, and joyful place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760873567694,"projectUrl":"project/treats-toys-and-tiny-triumphs/9775499/","projectTitle":"Treats, Toys, and Tiny Triumphs!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Figueroa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10044806"},{"teacherId":9608282,"projectId":9164184,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of school supplies to our classroom — including markers, chart paper, staples, magnetic erasers, crayons, and more. Your kindness arrived at exactly the right time.\r\n\r\nMany of our students were running low on basic materials, and your contribution ensured that every child could continue learning without interruption. Instead of worrying about whether they had the right tools for a project or activity, they were able to focus fully on their creativity, participation, and growth.\r\n\r\nYour support also made a meaningful difference for families in our community. With the rising cost of living, purchasing extra school supplies can be a real challenge for many households. By providing these essentials, you not only lightened that financial burden but also sent a powerful message to our students — that their education matters and that there are people who believe in their potential.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom is now stocked, vibrant, and ready for learning. The colorful markers bring our lessons to life, the chart paper helps us brainstorm and share ideas, and the magnetic erasers keep our boards ready for the next big concept. Every item you provided is being used daily, and every student has benefited from your generosity.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, their families, and myself — thank you for making such a positive and lasting impact.

This equipment is an essential resource for our classroom. With the new printer, we can quickly produce a variety of materials, from worksheets that reinforce daily lessons to custom projects that allow students to explore their creativity. The ability to print in-house means we can provide engaging, up-to-date learning materials that cater to the diverse needs of our students, helping every learner stay on track and feel confident in their abilities.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have been a perfect complement to this. We've been using them in our lessons to facilitate collaborative learning through the \"Building Thinking Classrooms\" (BTC) approach. The students work together at the whiteboards on complex problems, sharing their thinking and building on each other's ideas in a visible and dynamic way. This method promotes risk-taking and deepens understanding, transforming our classroom into an active thinking space where students are the ones doing the intellectual heavy lifting.

As a new teacher navigating the exciting and challenging world of 5th grade, your support means more than words can express. \r\n\r\nThe wobbly chairs have already become a class favorite. My students cheered when I opened the boxes and they immediately started proposing a sign up to sit on them. They love having a choice in how they sit and learn, and as an incentive to get work done. It has made a noticeable difference in their focus and comfort during small group instruction and in collaborative teams. It especially made a difference in some of my shy students to help them feel comfortable and confident when presenting oral projects and show and tell. The construction paper has opened up countless opportunities for my students to creatively express their learning through art, handmade projects, and visual models of their research. The paper trays have brought much-needed organization to our classroom, giving students a designated space to turn in work and keep our learning environment tidy and efficient.\r\n\r\nYour support helped me provide what I couldn't afford on my own as a new teacher with very limited start-up materials and resources. Because of your generosity, my students moving forward now have a welcoming space where they feel comfortable, inspired, and capable. They are intelligent, full of energy, and excited to learn—and now they have the tools to represent their knowledge in meaningful and creative ways. They will continue to express themselves in writing, painting, drawing, and with oral presentations of their projects in front of their peers. They are growing not only as learners but as communicators and collaborators.\r\n\r\nI'm incredibly grateful for your belief in my students and in me during this foundational time in my teaching journey.

Smiles broke out across the faces of the winners and challengers as they proudly watched their hard work pay off. Our STEM gravity and magnet cars activity had come to a culminating end with our 3rd grade races. For weeks, the students worked together in groups to create a gravity car that would go the farthest, and a magnet car that would cross the track the fastest. It was exciting, and it brought their unit on forces to a close. The students loved working with their peers and collaborating on ideas and improvements. What made it even better, were the amazing and generous resources provided by you to enhance their groups' work. \r\n When our boxes were delivered to our classroom, a small applause broke out from excitement. The students wanted to watch an unboxing of our packages. We did several of the small ones together, and left the larger ones for later. There was a constant sign-up for the roving whiteboards so that they could sit with their group and draw out their car designs and meet. Our two students in the photos with the rolling desks were the proud students who put them together. The rolling desks captured the eyes of many visitors to our class, and were helpful when pairing up with others, but also for myself to do oral assessments with students in a corner of the room or outside. Of course, we loved the black stools to sit and meet with. And I absolutely love my rolling black stool to travel from group to group and listen to what they were discussing. The Apple tv made it so seamless for us to shoot our work to the tv for others to see when presenting. The resources we received from you were a huge addition to our learning in the classroom.\r\n The year came to an end fairly quickly, but I'm glad we were able to make use of the resources for all of our STEM and unit activities. Next's years students will enjoy the resources in the same way from the start. Thank you so much for your generosity and dedication to educating our students.","fullyFundedDate":1742096102627,"projectUrl":"project/collab-groups-need-a-place-to-work/9168056/","projectTitle":"Collab Groups Need a Place to Work","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Siga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9968117_orig.jpg?crop=554,554,x38,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759213212205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9968117"},{"teacherId":8358335,"projectId":9154018,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generous donation to our classroom. The triple portable monitor, gaming chair, creative caddy, storage cart, binder clips, and laminator have truly enhanced our collaborative conference area in our classroom. The triple portable monitor enables the teacher to display multiple screens, including a rubric, student work, and a space for feedback and reflection, thereby enhancing the level and quality of teacher-student work conferences. Before having the triple portable monitor, the teacher would have to click between tabs, and the students constantly would also have to bring up their personal computers to conference with. Now everything is clearly visible for us to discuss and refer to throughout the conference, making conferences much more time efficient.\r\n The gaming chairs have helped bring a more 'professional' feel to the conference area, as the class knows that when there is a conference taking place that that particular student is the focus. All other students know that they will need to wait patiently for the conference to end before approaching the teacher (unless its an emergency of course). This allows for the teacher and the conferencing student to be fully immersed in the conference and conversation free from distractions.\r\n The storage cart, binder clips and laminator have just helped us to have all the necessary supplies readily available for use throughout the conference. This has truly been an exciting experience for all the students as they feel empowered and important when it is their turn to have a conference.","fullyFundedDate":1741813066757,"projectUrl":"project/our-collaborative-conference-center/9154018/","projectTitle":"Our Collaborative Conference Center","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nagaishi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nagaishi"},{"teacherId":9687060,"projectId":9090437,"letterContent":"The technology, like printers, helps students by allowing them to print out assignments and materials, which makes learning more efficient and accessible.
