The fraction manipulatives—circles, bars, and tiles—have made abstract concepts more tangible and understandable. Our multiplication table charts and math reference tools have become daily go-to resources, helping students build confidence in their skills.\r\n\r\nThe colorful math posters are reinforcing key vocabulary and concepts, while the geometry tools like protractors and shape templates are sparking curiosity during lessons on angles and shapes. The math board games and logic puzzles have brought joy and excitement into our learning routine, and the dry-erase materials are allowing for more interactive small group and independent practice.\r\n\r\nThese resources are doing more than just supporting academic growth—they're helping students engage in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that foster a lifelong love of math.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and their futures.

Because of your generosity, my students now have access to paper money and plastic coins that make learning about money and place value come alive in their hands. Instead of only imagining math problems, they can count, trade, and build real-world connections that deepen their understanding. The wobble stools have given active learners a way to move while they work, helping them stay focused and confident in their abilities. The addition of kinetic sand has been a calming and creative outlet for students who need a quiet way to regulate, while still staying engaged in the lesson. And our new alphabet word work kits are sparking joy as children explore spelling, phonics, and word building in fun, hands-on ways.\r\n\r\nThese tools are more than classroom supplies—they are bridges to learning that meet students where they are. For some children, the manipulatives mean they finally see how math works. For others, the sensory supports mean they can stay calm and comfortable long enough to discover that they can succeed. Every day, I see their eyes light up as they reach for the tools, collaborate with classmates, and celebrate their successes.\r\n\r\nYour support has created a classroom that feels inclusive, engaging, and full of possibility. You've given my students the gift of learning through play and exploration, and that is something they will carry with them long after this school year. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in them and investing in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1746785950725,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-magic/9288376/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning Magic","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hughes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ashleyhughes"},{"teacherId":9011767,"projectId":9286860,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom!

Our sensory fidgets and the weighted sloth have already made a big difference for students who need tools to calm, refocus, or feel comforted during the day.\r\n\r\nThese resources are not just items in our classroom—they are helping children feel safe, supported, and excited about learning.
