With fully functioning pens, lessons have become far more interactive and efficient. Examples of activities we’ve used the pens for include:\n\nSmall-group problem-solving stations where up to four students collaborate on math problems directly on the board, explaining their reasoning to peers.\nGame-style review rounds (team buzzers and quick-write challenges) that turn formative assessment into an energetic, confidence-building routine.\nShared writing workshops where students draft, edit, and rearrange parts of a story together, modeling author’s craft in real time.\nInteractive read-aloud follow-ups where students annotate text features and locate evidence to support comprehension answers.\n\nThese activities are strengthening academic skills and classroom routines. Students are practicing clear communication, applying critical thinking when finding textual evidence, and developing collaboration habits as they take turns leading and supporting peers. The precision of the pens also improves handwriting and fine-motor control during demonstrations, which translates to neater student work when they transfer ideas to paper.\nBecause of your generosity, our smart boards are once again a reliable, engaging learning hub. Your gift directly supports student engagement, deeper comprehension, and cooperative learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757691611639,"projectUrl":"project/replacement-pens-for-our-beloved-smart-b/9635124/","projectTitle":"Replacement Pens for Our Beloved Smart Boards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4085_orig.jpg?crop=1184,1184,x296,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666499442579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacher-ms-g"},{"teacherId":4085,"projectId":9168032,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, every K–2 classroom had the chance to observe the complete life cycle of ladybugs up close. Students watched larvae grow, pupate, and emerge as adult ladybugs, recording changes each day and turning simple curiosity into hands‑on scientific inquiry. The experience had powerful effects: several children who were once afraid of insects now gently allow ladybugs to walk on their hands, and many more have begun asking new questions about habitats, growth, and other living things. Along the way they practiced age‑appropriate science skills and tools—observing carefully, making simple records, and discussing their findings—which strengthened their confidence and ability to think like young scientists. Caring for the ladybugs also fostered empathy and responsibility, and the shared classroom experience created memorable conversations at school and at home.","fullyFundedDate":1743082348672,"projectUrl":"project/magical-ladybug-transformation/9168032/","projectTitle":"Magical Ladybug Transformation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4085_orig.jpg?crop=1184,1184,x296,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666499442579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacher-ms-g"},{"teacherId":7235741,"projectId":9761048,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous and kind donations that brought my project \"Handwriting is Fun\" to life.
