They eagerly picked them up and began writing Chinese characters on their whiteboards. Many students practiced over and over—writing, erasing, and rewriting—until their strokes felt smooth and accurate. This safe space to make mistakes and try again has boosted their confidence and made writing feel less intimidating.\r\n\r\nNow, the markers and whiteboards have become an essential part of our daily lessons. Students use them to practice new characters, build words, and even challenge their classmates to see who can write the fastest and most correctly. During group activities, they take turns writing and helping each other fix stroke order, which strengthens both their Chinese skills and their teamwork. Thanks to your support, my students are more motivated than ever to express themselves in Chinese and truly enjoy the learning process.","fullyFundedDate":1750773750198,"projectUrl":"project/2025-2026-school-year-classroom-supplie/9360202/","projectTitle":"2025-2026 School Year Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Tao","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8495636_orig.jpg?crop=1500,1500,x253,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662471944832","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8495636"},{"teacherId":8105327,"projectId":8739296,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom!
