I use these new math games and materials when I visit classrooms for K–5 Math Enrichment lessons, and they have already helped make our activities more engaging and hands-on.\r\n\r\nMy students are always excited to see the new materials, and they are eager to try the games right away. Many students remark that they are excited to take the ideas of these games home to show and play with their families. The resources have helped make math feel more fun and approachable, which is especially helpful for my many English language learners. As my move my cart throughout our building, my colleagues remark on how many new and useful materials I have available to my students. \r\n\r\nI will continue using these materials throughout the year as part of my enrichment lessons across all grade levels. Your support ensures that students have high-quality, interactive tools to strengthen their math skills.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for making a direct impact on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1757515707199,"projectUrl":"project/play-to-learn-learn-to-play-math-games/9694889/","projectTitle":"Play to Learn, Learn to Play: Math Games for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cronin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9784299_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y35&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757273900430","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9784299"},{"teacherId":3007931,"projectId":8666427,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supplying our classroom with essential items like hand sanitizer, pads, hair ties, and spray deodorant — these everyday necessities have made a huge difference in our students' comfort, confidence, and ability to focus. We used many of the supplies to try to keep our areas clean and keep us healthy, and the personal care items were placed in a discreet \"student care station\" so learners can take what they need without missing instructional time. \r\n\r\nOne memorable moment was when a student who was embarrassed about not having a hair tie quietly took one and later raised their hand to volunteer to lead a group activity — that boost in self-assurance was priceless. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the boxes arrive, they erupted in excited whispers and gratitude; several commented on how cared-for they felt and how these items would help them get through busy school days. \r\n\r\nNext, in health class we are building on this positive momentum by integrating a community-care project into our current unit: students will research and prepare short presentations about school wellness routines, create informational posters for the hallway, and plan a peer-support campaign so classmates know about the care station and how to access resources respectfully.","fullyFundedDate":1727020023459,"projectUrl":"project/providing-essentials-to-our-classroom/8666427/","projectTitle":"Providing Essentials to Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kurz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3007931_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1505700417133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/e-kurz"},{"teacherId":3007931,"projectId":9718431,"letterContent":"Dear [Donor Name],\r\n\r\nThank you so much for donating books to our classroom.

The hands-on math manipulatives and visual tools you contributed to, have made a significant difference in my classroom. When the materials arrived, my students were excited to use them, and it quickly became clear how engaging they were for everyone, especially my English language learners. The tools helped students better understand abstract math concepts by allowing them to physically interact with the material. This hands-on approach made math more accessible and allowed students to grasp difficult concepts in a more concrete way. We continue to utilize the variety of supplies we received and look forward to using them in new and inventive ways. \r\n\r\nThe impact on student learning has been noticeable. With the manipulatives, students were able to visualize and experiment with math in a way that reinforced their understanding and increased their confidence. The resources have also allowed for more collaboration between students, which has improved their problem-solving skills and communication in math. Overall, the materials have supported a deeper understanding of key concepts and fostered a more engaging and positive learning environment.
