Because of you, my students have moved from being passive consumers of technology to active creators.\r\n\r\nThe \"Unboxing\" Moment When the students first saw the new materials, they were itching to get started. It wasn't just excitement about video games; it was excitement about doing. They immediately started debating which projects they wanted to build first.\r\n\r\nA Specific Classroom Project We are currently using these resources for a \"Virtual History\" project. Students are recreating historical landmarks within the game. One specific moment that stands out happened last week: A student who usually struggles with traditional testing spent three hours perfecting the architecture of a Roman aqueduct in-game. He then explained the physics of water flow to the entire class to justify his design. He was the expert, and he beamed with pride.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next? Now that they have mastered the basics, our next step is \"The Future City\" challenge. Students will apply urban planning and environmental science concepts to design a sustainable city within the game. They will have to budget resources and manage waste—turning gaming into a complex lesson on civic responsibility.\r\n\r\nThank you for unlocking their potential.","fullyFundedDate":1767206766182,"projectUrl":"project/e-gaming-start-up/9742379/","projectTitle":"E-Gaming Start Up","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. T.

I was in desperate need of paper to prepare several types of study aids. The direct impact is that they have materials in hand that help them prepare for our classroom activities and test prep. While we use technology extensively, it is clear that students need hands-on experiences in addition to technological activities.\r\nI let my students know that donations were made for these items, and I believe it makes a difference for them to know that you care and that you are willing to support us. I believe they do better when they know that someone cares.\r\nAdditionally, there are other opportunities that I wish we could offer. Many of the opportunities are supported by agencies that may no longer exist in the future. We are grateful that you were willing to make our project happen.","fullyFundedDate":1760120977252,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-act/9734693/","projectTitle":"Beyond ACT","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carmen P Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5392505_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759112542050","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5392505"},{"teacherId":7865069,"projectId":9711120,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generous contributions made through DonorsChoose, our piano class has transformed into a more engaging, creative, and successful learning environment for students. The materials we received have directly expanded our instructional tools and helped students grow as musicians in several key ways:\r\n\r\n\r\nWith headphones and other technology, students are able to work at their own pace without distraction. This has created a quiet learning space where beginners can build confidence while more advanced students can challenge themselves.\r\n\r\n The updated materials make learning feel modern and fun. Students arrive eager to play, practice more consistently, and show greater pride in their progress. Several students have even expressed interest in continuing piano beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\n With the tools now available, students can confidently prepare for recitals, school events, and class showcases—building not just their musicianship, but also their self-esteem and stage presence.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a real and lasting difference in the lives of our young musicians. Because of your support, students are experiencing the joy of learning piano in a way that truly empowers them.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in their creativity, their confidence, and their future! 🎶💛","fullyFundedDate":1760693593649,"projectUrl":"project/ivory-inspirations/9711120/","projectTitle":"Ivory Inspirations","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mosley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7865069"},{"teacherId":2884504,"projectId":9032667,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, \"Yes, You May Have a Snack!\" Your contribution brought more than just snacks into our classroom — it brought joy, comfort, and a stronger sense of community.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were beyond excited. Several of them immediately began organizing the snacks by type and making sure we had a fair system for distribution. One student said, \"This makes it feel like someone really cares about us.\" That moment reminded me how impactful even the smallest acts of kindness can be.\r\n\r\nSince then, we've integrated the snack station into our daily routine. It's not just about food — it's about helping students stay focused, feel valued, and be ready to learn. One memorable classroom moment happened during a group writing project. A student who normally struggles to concentrate asked if he could grab a snack. Minutes later, he was fully engaged in writing and even volunteered to share his paragraph with the class. It was a breakthrough moment — and your support helped make it happen.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we've been able to meet both academic and emotional needs in the classroom — and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1748889858964,"projectUrl":"project/yes-you-may-have-a-snack/9032667/","projectTitle":"Yes, You May Have a Snack!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. T.
