Kids spend all day looking forward to coming into my classroom, where they can learn in comfy bungee chairs instead of hard desks. They are so comfortable and enjoy learning math in a happy, safe place! We would never have been able to afford these chairs without you. They also love the huge packs of vinyl stickers. Every day we raffle a math question and the winner gets to choose a sticker. They are big hits and the kids just love them!\r\nThank you for your incredible kindness and generosity.

Because of your donation, my sixth-grade students now have access to a vital tool that allows for more flexible and effective learning.\r\n\r\nAs an Intervention Specialist, I work with students who benefit from more individualized instruction. This mobile whiteboard has made it possible for me to bring lessons directly to students in various areas of the school, allowing for small group instruction that meets their unique needs. Whether we're in a hallway nook or a quiet corner of the library, this resource ensures that I can provide clear, structured lessons wherever we are.\r\n\r\nThe impact was immediate—not only in how it supported teaching but also in how it engaged students. One of my students was so excited about the whiteboard that he eagerly read the instructions aloud and helped put it together. That moment reminded me how even small tools can spark ownership and enthusiasm in learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, my students are receiving the targeted support they deserve in a way that meets them where they are—literally and academically. I'm deeply grateful for your contribution and for believing in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1738001602927,"projectUrl":"project/traveling-whiteboard-on-the-road-to/9063407/","projectTitle":"Traveling Whiteboard: On the \"Road\" to Small Group Instruction","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rose","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7531108"},{"teacherId":6917107,"projectId":8290868,"letterContent":"This rock garden project has been a dream of mine for years.
