These whiteboards have quickly become an important part of our mathematics classroom. Students use them to work through problems, try different strategies, make mistakes, revise their thinking, and share their reasoning with their classmates. When the new materials arrived, students were excited to have something they could actively write on and hold up during class. What may seem like a simple whiteboard has made a big difference in getting more students to participate and make their mathematical thinking visible.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments is when every student holds up their board at the same time. Instead of waiting for one student to volunteer an answer, I can immediately see what the entire class understands and where students may need additional support. This allows me to adjust instruction in the moment while giving students a low-pressure way to take risks and learn from mistakes. Our next step is to continue using the boards during our Algebra lessons as students tackle increasingly complex problems and explain not just what their answer is, but why it makes sense. Thank you for helping create a classroom where students are encouraged to think boldly, communicate their ideas, and build confidence as mathematicians!","fullyFundedDate":1758898918558,"projectUrl":"project/think-it-write-it-share-it-empowering/9712560/","projectTitle":"Think It, Write It, Share It: Empowering Students with Whiteboards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sietz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9813776_orig.png?crop=599,599,x0,y265&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730482392204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sietzmathsel"},{"teacherId":9813776,"projectId":10294830,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our \"Colors of Pride: Creating Community Through Tie-Dye\" project! Your generosity gave our students an opportunity to come together, express themselves creatively, and celebrate what makes each of us unique. During our tie-dye event, students transformed plain shirts, bandanas, headbands, sweatbands, and hairbands into colorful, one-of-a-kind creations while spending time connecting with their peers and building a stronger sense of belonging within our school community. Seeing students encourage one another, share colors and ideas, and proudly show off their finished shirts was such a meaningful reminder that small moments of connection can make a big difference.\r\n\r\nThis project was about so much more than tie-dye, it was about creating a space where students could feel seen, valued, and accepted exactly as they are, especially during Pride Month. Students were excited to participate and especially enjoyed seeing how everyone's shirts turned out differently, even when they started with the same materials. As we continue building a more inclusive and connected school community, your support helps us create opportunities for students to celebrate themselves and one another. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this experience possible and for investing in the well-being, belonging, joy, and PRIDE of our amazing students!!!!","fullyFundedDate":1779835903817,"projectUrl":"project/colors-of-pride-creating-community-thro/10294830/","projectTitle":"Colors of Pride: Creating Community Through Tie-Dye","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sietz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9813776_orig.png?crop=599,599,x0,y265&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730482392204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sietzmathsel"},{"teacherId":10224944,"projectId":10083637,"letterContent":"Paint and Plant\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your donations.
