They have enhanced our ability to access appropriate educational resources during class and have given students tools to help them remain engaged. Many students find it challenging to stay focused without some form of distraction, and these items have been effective in helping them stay occupied without interfering with the learning environment. In particular, the iPads have allowed for more interactive and differentiated instruction, enabling students to work at their own pace and explore content in ways that suit their individual learning styles. Meanwhile, the fidget toys offer a quiet, non-disruptive outlet for students who need sensory input or movement to maintain focus. As a result, we've seen increased participation, improved attention spans, and a more inclusive atmosphere where diverse learning needs are being met. Thank you for supporting our efforts to create a more engaging and accommodating classroom environment.","fullyFundedDate":1730166144972,"projectUrl":"project/spreading-positivity-in-the-classroom/8907709/","projectTitle":"Spreading Positivity in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9818626"},{"teacherId":8432862,"projectId":8924986,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for the generous donation for the purchase of our classroom Veridesk. We are using this as an adjustable podium for various presentation projects in our business classes. So far, the students have been amazed at the ability to adjust the height of the surface based on their level of comfort.\r\n\r\nIt is because of the online community and generosity that our class can modify our speaking engagements to meet the needs of various students.

With your generosity, I have been able to create fun and interactive mindfulness activities by downloading apps to guide students through breathing exercises or calming visuals. This helps them feel more focused and ready to learn! \r\n\r\nMath can sometimes be stressful for students. The iPad allows us to develop visual techniques that reduce math anxiety. We can incorporate guided breathing exercises into our math problem-solving sessions. By taking a moment to breathe and calm down, students can tackle math problems with a clearer mind.\r\n\r\nFinally, the iPad helps facilitate small group discussions about math-related stress and coping strategies. Students can work together to share their experiences and support each other. This creates a safe space where they can talk about their feelings and learn how to cope with stress in a positive way.\r\n\r\nIn conclusion, the iPad has been a fantastic tool in my classroom. It has not only improved students' mental health but has also enhanced their learning experience. By using technology in these creative ways, I am helping our students feel more confident and capable in their studies!","fullyFundedDate":1731525279716,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-math-stress-reduction-proj/8915508/","projectTitle":"Mental Health Math Stress Reduction Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. House","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8843439"},{"teacherId":9819817,"projectId":8909780,"letterContent":"Thanks to your donation, we were able to provide essential resources to enhance the wellness of students in our mathematics classroom.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project, Mental Health and Math Magic. Thanks to your kindness and commitment to education, my students and I have experienced a transformative shift in our math classroom.\r\n\r\nWith the materials you helped provide—an apple Ipad, stress balls, whiteboards, and the calm ball—my students have been able to engage with mathematics in more dynamic and meaningful ways. These resources have opened doors to hands-on learning opportunities that were previously out of reach.\r\n\r\nFor example, the whiteboards and the Ipad have allowed students to work out complex math concepts, deepening their understanding of topics like factoring and solving systems of equations. Seeing their excitement as they work together to solve problems or explore new strategies has been truly inspiring. \r\n\r\nYour support has not only enhanced their learning but has also boosted their confidence. Students who once hesitated to participate are now eager to engage, knowing they have the tools they need to succeed. It's incredible to witness how these resources have fostered a sense of curiosity, collaboration, and achievement.","fullyFundedDate":1730313020865,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-and-math-magic/8908747/","projectTitle":"Mental Health and Math Magic","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pratte","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9819192"},{"teacherId":7885195,"projectId":8912972,"letterContent":"Students have been able to use the stickers at their tables to see positive affirmations daily.
