However, with your support, I instead opted to purchase worksheets and handouts from Teachers Pay Teachers for students who prefer to have paper/pencil practice. Because my students have such wide variety of background knowledge when it comes to mathematics, it was extremely helpful to purchase a bunch of different worksheets and handouts to better differentiate the needs of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1734237129623,"projectUrl":"project/math-practice-with-struggly/8869579/","projectTitle":"Math Practice With Struggly!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8600489_orig.png?crop=317,317,x0,y19&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660106210245","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8600489"},{"teacherId":8600489,"projectId":8475564,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to this project!

As normal with students, they lose notebooks throughout the year.

I teach math to newcomer students, many of whom are new not just to the United States but to formal schooling in general. Adjusting to a new country, language, and academic system can be overwhelming, and even basic classroom tools can go a long way in helping students feel supported and engaged.\r\n\r\nAlthough I'm currently out sick and not in the classroom myself, my long term substitute has been keeping me updated. From everything I've heard, the supplies you helped fund are already making a big impact. The whiteboards in particular have become a favorite in class. Students use them not only for problem solving and showing their thinking during lessons, but also for trivia and group games that make learning feel more fun and collaborative. The handles make a big difference surprisingly! Even students who tend to be shy are joining in more actively because they get to work with peers and write their ideas in a low pressure way.\r\n\r\nThe charging stations you helped fund have also solved a big issue. Having a dedicated \"charging station\" has successfully enticed many students to put their phones away in an area away from them (a major issue in our school and others) Now, with access to in-class charging, they're able to stay focused and keep learning.\r\n\r\nEven though I'm not physically present right now, I'm incredibly grateful to know that your generosity is helping create a welcoming, engaging space for my students. Thank you for believing in them and for supporting our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1734632304730,"projectUrl":"project/charged-and-ready-to-learn/8921516/","projectTitle":"Charged and Ready to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ryan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9826997"},{"teacherId":9576148,"projectId":8556924,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all your help to give this group of girls the opportunity to experience something new in our practices. All the girls loved the equipment and were very excited opening and setting up everything for their practice. After our first practice using the equipment, they shared how happy and great they felt having their new equipment.\r\nI wished you all can see their faces and big smiles in that moment, words can explain how grateful I am with you all, this girls are family for me, they are my kids and see them happy and enjoying is complete happiness for me. Thank you so much for all your support to made this happened and thank you so much for been out there helping us to give a better experience to all the youth out there trying to do something they love and for those who want to learn something new.\r\nWith all this new equipment we have been working on a lot of things like wall passes, goalkeeper trainings and shooting drills etc etc. All my girls and me are so grateful and send you all a lot of blessings.
