Thanks to their donation, we were able to purchase a brand-new whiteboard—a much-needed upgrade that has already transformed the way our students learn each day. Our old board was scratched, stained, and difficult to erase, making it challenging for young learners to see letters, numbers, and sight words clearly. The new whiteboard has made an immediate difference in both teaching and student engagement.\r\n\r\nEach morning, students gather with excitement to see what appears on the crisp, clean surface. Whether we're practicing sight words, writing our morning message, or drawing shapes during math, the whiteboard has become the heart of our classroom. Children love taking turns writing and drawing on it, which boosts their confidence and encourages participation. Beyond academics, we use it to celebrate birthdays, share positive affirmations, and build community during circle time—bringing joy and connection to our day.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself, our kindergarten students, and their families, thank you, Sonic, for investing in our classroom. Your generosity has created a brighter, more engaging learning space where our students can grow, explore, and feel proud of their work every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757016294225,"projectUrl":"project/the-kinder-easel-project/9507685/","projectTitle":"The Kinder Easel Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp267782_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1514789872517","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lainie-villa"},{"teacherId":8395754,"projectId":8713597,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to share the positive impact that our new touchscreen smart board has had on our classroom.
