From the moment my students saw them, they were excited and eager to use them. The white boards have quickly become one of our favorite learning tools. My students love being able to write, draw, and solve problems on their own boards, and it has made learning much more engaging and interactive for them.\r\n\r\nWe use the white boards daily during lessons for reading, writing, math, and phonics. Students practice sentence writing, solve math problems step by step, and respond to questions in real time. One of my favorite moments is seeing students proudly hold up their boards to show their thinking. Even my shy students feel more confident participating because they know mistakes are okay and can be easily erased. This has created a positive learning environment where students feel safe to try and learn.\r\n\r\nBecause of these white boards, my students are becoming more independent, confident learners. They are more focused, actively involved, and excited about their lessons. These resources will continue to support hands-on learning as we move forward with new skills and concepts. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom and in my students' learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1762266418561,"projectUrl":"project/white-boards/9745315/","projectTitle":"White Boards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10006445"},{"teacherId":10051854,"projectId":9401752,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into an engaging and interactive learning space! The new dry erase boards and erasers have become an essential part of our daily lessons. My students use the boards during math centers to practice writing numbers and solving problems, and during literacy activities to work on letter formation and sight words. These tools allow them to participate actively and confidently, making learning both fun and hands-on.\r\nWhen the students first saw the boards, their faces lit up with excitement! They were thrilled to have their own boards to write on. It was a wonderful moment that showed how much these resources mean to them. The magnetic erasers were a big hit too they loved the colors and the fact that they could easily clean their boards without smudges.\r\nYour contribution has given my students the tools to collaborate, express their ideas, and grow as learners.

The impact has been amazing! My students get so excited to learn every day knowing that they will get to choose their spot. The exercise balls and different seating options have created a sense of ownership and motivation in their learning.\r\n\r\nFor my students who already love to move, the flexible seating has been the perfect fit they can wiggle, bounce, and stay engaged while still focusing on their work. I've noticed that even my more reluctant learners are eager to participate because the environment feels fun and welcoming. The flexible seating not only helps with focus but also encourages collaboration, since students naturally gather in ways that support teamwork.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generosity. You've helped create a classroom that feels comfortable, dynamic, and full of joy.
