The colored pencils have been especially meaningful—they allow students to design and use art in their math projects, which helps them incorporate their personal talents and creativity into their work. Many of my students also use them to color-code their notes, which has made it easier for them to organize their thinking and understand multi-step problems. The dry-erase markers have been great for group problem-solving, and the hot glue gun is helping us build sturdy models for our real-world math activities.\r\n\r\nAs soon as we unpacked the supplies, my students were excited and curious. They immediately started talking about how they could use the art supplies in their upcoming projects. For a lot of them, having brand-new materials—especially colorful ones—makes learning feel more personal and fun. They loved that these supplies were purchased specifically for them.\r\n\r\nWe're currently working on a project that blends math with creativity and real-life application. Students will use the colored pencils to design visual models, create detailed project boards, and express their mathematical thinking in ways that feel authentic to them. The dry-erase markers will support our ongoing group discussions, and the hot glue gun will help students construct more polished, hands-on pieces for their presentations. These materials will continue supporting us all year as we build confidence, creativity, and deeper mathematical understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1762616916562,"projectUrl":"project/power-up-our-math-class/9798615/","projectTitle":"Power Up Our Math Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alvarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9483136_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750456299722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/alvarezclassroomrvhs"},{"teacherId":9059965,"projectId":9672298,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom!

One of the first projects I created was a large, eye-catching monthly calendar. It's displayed in a central spot so students can easily see upcoming events, deadlines, and activities. This visual tool has helped everyone stay on track and look forward to what's coming up each month.\r\n\r\nI've also used the Cricut Maker to create labels and numbers for our classroom calculator holder. Each student is now assigned a specific number, which makes it easy to keep track of calculators and ensures everyone is responsible for their own. This simple system has greatly reduced lost calculators and keeps our materials neat and ready to use.\r\n\r\nThese Cricut projects have brought both functionality and a touch of creativity to our classroom.

One of our favorite ways to use the supplies is during our weekly whiteboard activities. The students use the whiteboards, markers, and erasers at least once a week to solve problems, work in teams, and share their thinking with the class. Having enough materials for everyone has made these lessons smoother and more engaging.\r\n\r\nAnother special addition has been our new birthday display and celebration items. I now highlight each student's birthday and give them a special birthday pencil and candy as a small goodie. The students absolutely love this tradition—it makes them feel celebrated and builds a positive classroom community.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have truly enhanced our daily routines and brought extra joy to our classroom.

In our math class, we've been using them daily for problem-solving, group activities, and quick checks for understanding. Instead of feeling nervous about making mistakes on paper, students are more willing to take risks, show their thinking, and erase and try again. One of my favorite moments so far was during a review activity: students worked in small groups, each solving different practice problems, then rotated boards to check and build on one another's work. The room was filled with collaboration, laughter, and real-time problem-solving.\r\nThese whiteboards have already transformed the way we learn. Students are more engaged because they're actively writing, sharing, and explaining their thought processes rather than sitting quietly with worksheets. The boards make math feel more interactive and approachable, and I can quickly scan the room to see who needs extra support. Our next steps include using the whiteboards for peer teaching, where students will create and present their own math problems for classmates to solve. This will help build confidence, deepen understanding, and create a classroom culture where learning is truly a team effort.","fullyFundedDate":1749094026894,"projectUrl":"project/lets-learn-together-collaborative-whit/9393655/","projectTitle":"Let’s Learn Together: Collaborative Whiteboards for Math Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kimberly Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9713951_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y374&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748969151816","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9713951"},{"teacherId":9713951,"projectId":9550608,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my math classroom has been transformed into a cleaner, more engaging space where students can focus and thrive.
