Because of you, my students now have access to an interactive learning tool that has completely transformed our lessons. The smart board has helped my students better understand new concepts by allowing them to see visuals, interact with lessons, and actively participate in their learning rather than just listening. Students are more engaged, focused, and excited to come to the board to solve problems, read texts, and share their thinking. What they love most is being able to touch, move, and manipulate learning materials on the screen, which makes lessons feel fun and meaningful. Your support has made a lasting impact on my students' learning experience, and we are so grateful for your kindness and belief in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758908334009,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-learning-with-a-smart-board/9432733/","projectTitle":"Empowering Learning with a Smart Board","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9634777_orig.jpg?crop=1209,1209,x120,y321&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748615740042","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9634777"},{"teacherId":10035915,"projectId":9929793,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my fifth graders were able to bring learning to life through hands-on gardening as part of our Project Earth unit. Students planted and cared for lettuce, marigolds, thyme, cilantro, and oregano, giving them the opportunity to nurture a variety of plants and observe different growth patterns over time.\r\n\r\nThis project taught students responsibility as they learned to consistently care for something that does not happen overnight. Through daily watering, observing changes, and problem-solving when plants needed adjustments, students developed patience, accountability, and an understanding that growth takes time and effort. They quickly took ownership—proudly labeling their plants, tracking progress, and checking on them each morning.\r\n\r\nBeyond the classroom, students gained practical life skills they can take home and apply to their own lives, from caring for plants with their families to making thoughtful, responsible choices. The project also strengthened connections to our reading, science, and social-emotional learning by reinforcing themes of sustainability, perseverance, and caring for the Earth.\r\n\r\nThank you, Reza and Elizabeth, for making this meaningful learning experience possible and for helping my students grow not only plants, but lifelong skills and a deeper sense of responsibility.","fullyFundedDate":1767243262460,"projectUrl":"project/roots-of-responsibility-fifth-graders-g/9929793/","projectTitle":"Roots of Responsibility: Fifth Graders Growing a Greener World","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10035915_orig.jpg?crop=1112,1112,x0,y107&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747238068290","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10035915"},{"teacherId":8696323,"projectId":9767656,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for all our fun new science materials that we added to our Science/ Discovery center.

Students who once hesitated to participate are now more confident asking questions, contributing to discussions, and seeking clarification when they need it. Instead of feeling frustrated or isolated, they can now independently bridge language gaps in real time. The technology has empowered them to express themselves more fully and access instruction the way they deserve to.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for the students has been how instantly the device responds. They love being able to hear translations aloud, see text on the screen, and switch between languages with ease.
