Students are using digital activities that allow them to practice skills at their own pace, receive instant feedback, and see concepts come alive with visuals and interactive features. This has made lessons more engaging and accessible, especially for students who learn best through visual and kinesthetic methods.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for my students has been the interactive games and activities we can now use as part of our lessons. They love earning points, solving challenges, and working collaboratively in small groups on digital scavenger hunts, simulations, and skill-building activities. For them, it doesn't feel like \"just schoolwork\"—it feels like playing and exploring, which motivates them to push themselves further.\r\n\r\nI've seen some remarkable transformations. One student who was hesitant to participate in class discussions now lights up when we do interactive vocabulary activities on the smartboard. Another student, who often struggled with staying focused, has become one of the first to log in and start his work because he enjoys the interactive math practice. These moments of engagement and confidence are exactly why your gift matters so much.\r\n\r\nYour support hasn't just added technology—it's added excitement, confidence, and a new level of engagement in our classroom. We are so grateful for you!","fullyFundedDate":1746766454378,"projectUrl":"project/resources-for-engaging-material/9322941/","projectTitle":"Resources for Engaging Material","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jacenich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8679447_orig.jpg?crop=456,456,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710550017955","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8679447"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41194","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":482,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":50.7,"schoolId":41194,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Olivehurst Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Olivehurst Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/marysville-joint-unified-school-district/olivehurst-elementary-school/41194"}
