These simple yet versatile tools have transformed how lessons are delivered, how students engage with material, and how they demonstrate their understanding. The whiteboards have created a more interactive, collaborative, and dynamic classroom where every student can participate confidently and actively in their own learning journey.\r\nStudents can write, erase, and try again without the pressure of permanence. This freedom encourages risk-taking and fosters a growth mindset students are more willing to experiment with new strategies, ask questions, and learn from their errors. The whiteboards have created a safe space for trial and error, which is one of the most powerful ways to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1758829408602,"projectUrl":"project/bright-ideas-on-our-whiteboards/9731912/","projectTitle":"Bright Ideas on our Whiteboards","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rosselli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9730504_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729125905607","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9730504"},{"teacherId":9730504,"projectId":9692231,"letterContent":"Drip art in the middle school classroom fosters creativity, experimentation, and problem-solving.

While these methods are valuable, they do not always capture the full range of how students think, learn, and express themselves. Incorporating clay and sculpting into my curriculum has provided students with an alternative pathway to demonstrate understanding and creativity, while also nurturing essential academic and life skills. The impact on my students has been both profound and far-reaching.\r\nClay is a material that engages students on multiple levels. It is tactile, flexible, and forgiving, which allows learners to take risks without fear of permanent mistakes. The ability to mold and reshape their work teaches students resilience and persistence. They learn that an idea can evolve, that mistakes can be transformed into opportunities, and that the process is often just as important as the final product.","fullyFundedDate":1755749012661,"projectUrl":"project/using-clay-to-bring-art-to-life/9574930/","projectTitle":"Using Clay to Bring Art to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rosselli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9730504_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729125905607","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9730504"},{"teacherId":8262528,"projectId":9302334,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of books for my reading intervention classroom.

It's been such a joy to see students who once resisted reading now genuinely excited to read, not only because the books are at their level, but because they are deeply connected to the characters and stories.\r\n\r\nYour donation has sparked a love of reading in students who never thought they could enjoy it, and that is truly priceless.
