With one teacher guide and two student books, I was able to provide targeted Tier 3 math intervention to students who needed additional support with foundational multiplication skills. Using these materials in small groups helped students build confidence and fluency, and their growth was evident as many required less support over time.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited when they first received the materials and were eager to begin working with them. Since the project's completion, I have collected data showing strong student growth, which allowed me to advocate for additional materials and staff training. Because of your support, more resources were added in November 2025, expanding this intervention to reach even more students. Thank you for making a lasting impact on our classroom and school community.","fullyFundedDate":1745416812551,"projectUrl":"project/multiplying-success-empowering-students/9035745/","projectTitle":"Multiplying Success: Empowering Students With Targeted Math Intervention","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Felsenstein","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7774875_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y168&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673673802466","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7774875"},{"teacherId":7774875,"projectId":8564215,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in helping create a positive and welcoming classroom environment.

We are trying to expand our monarch butterfly garden for our students and community. The monarch butterfly is very special in our community. The hose will be so helpful for watering our garden. One water faucet is broken, and we were in desperate need of a longer hose, which we were able to do.. The caterpillar kit is a big hit in all of our classrooms. The caterpillars are doubling in size and spinning their cocoons. The caterpillars visited the 3rd and 5th grades today. The students were very excited and wanted to have the caterpillars watch while they worked on their English Language Arts vocabulary words. The shovels were used to begin repotting vegetables into larger planters and eventually harvesting for our community, that are in desperate need of food. The students will be able to feed the butterflies nectar.

Many students shared how much they enjoyed the activity and couldn't wait to see how their shirts would turn out.
