This project was very successful and many students have been able to take advantage of the materials that you helped to purchase. Students that are absent now have an opportunity to stop by my class to make up work and see a video of the lesson that they missed in a meaningful way. No longer just busy work, now students can see actual lessons of their class being taught. Many lessons are more than just reading text from a book. Many are discussions and interactive. My ability to record portions of the class and the instruction now make it possible for absent students to get more of what they missed. While a student can never really make-up a missed class, this gives them a much better chance of learning the material by seeing and hearing what went on in class while they were absent. Lastly, these videos are excellent for reviewing at the end of the year for the state exam. \r\nThe goal moving forward is to record and make more videos covering more of our required material for future use. \r\nThank you again for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1739287975993,"projectUrl":"project/never-absent-from-school/9102274/","projectTitle":"Never Absent From School","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Daley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9918143_orig.png?crop=117,117,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738960702137","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9918143"},{"teacherId":6881200,"projectId":8704169,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your incredible support and generosity in funding two VR Meta Quest units for my 6th grade World History classroom. Your donation has completely transformed the way my students are able to experience and engage with history. Instead of simply reading about ancient civilizations, they can now immerse themselves in them—walking the streets, seeing the architecture, and witnessing history come alive in ways that spark curiosity and excitement like never before.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful experiences so far has been our virtual journey to Ancient Rome. My students were able to stand inside the Colosseum, look around at the towering structure, and watch as Gladiators prepared for battle. The awe and wonder on their faces were unforgettable. This kind of immersive experience has deepened their understanding of history and made learning more meaningful and memorable. It's not just a lesson anymore—it's a lived experience that fuels imagination and inspires lifelong learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this incredible opportunity possible. Your kindness and support have opened up new worlds for my students and allowed them to explore the past in ways that would otherwise be unimaginable.
