Your kindness has made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students and the way learning happens each day. Because of you, my classroom has become a more engaging, interactive, and student-centered learning environment.\r\n\r\nThese materials have significantly improved student learning by making lessons more hands-on and inclusive. With mini boards, every student is able to participate actively rather than passively observe. Students can write responses, practice new skills, and share their thinking instantly. This real-time engagement has increased focus, accountability, and confidence, especially for students who previously hesitated to speak up during class discussions. Learning is no longer limited to a few raised hands, every student has a voice.\r\n\r\nThe mini boards have also allowed me to strengthen my teaching practices. I am now able to quickly check for understanding during lessons and adjust instruction immediately. Within seconds, I can see which students understand the material, who needs clarification, and who is ready to move ahead. This instant feedback helps me provide targeted support, reteach when necessary, and celebrate student growth in the moment. As a result, lessons flow more smoothly, and instructional time is used more effectively.\r\n\r\nAlthough many people associate technology with digital devices, these tools serve as powerful classroom technology that enhances learning in a unique way. The boards allow students to write, erase, revise, and try again without fear of permanent mistakes. This encourages risk-taking and problem-solving, two essential skills for learning. Students learn that mistakes are part of the process, not something to be afraid of, which has helped create a positive and supportive classroom culture.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about these materials is the opportunity to actively participate and receive immediate feedback. They enjoy being able to show their work, correct errors quickly, and engage in fast-paced activities that keep lessons lively. The hands-on nature of the boards makes learning feel more like a game than a task, increasing motivation and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThese tools have been especially impactful for students who struggle with confidence, attention, or organization. English language learners and students who need additional processing time benefit greatly from being able to think through their answers visually before sharing. Shy students, in particular, have become more engaged because they can participate without the pressure of speaking aloud in front of the class.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting hands-on learning. Your generosity has helped create a classroom where all students feel empowered to participate, learn from mistakes, and grow with confidence. Your impact is felt every single day, and I am deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1766763896808,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-with-classroom-whitebo/9904098/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning With Classroom Whiteboards!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dufresne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10107000_orig.jpg?crop=1158,1158,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768586823239","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10107000"},{"teacherId":10107000,"projectId":9525685,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project, \"Printing, Writing, and Organizing for Success!\" Your kindness has had a powerful and lasting impact on my students and the learning environment we share every day. Because of you, my classroom is more organized, engaging, and supportive of student success.\r\n\r\nThis project has significantly improved my students' learning by ensuring they have consistent access to printed materials that support understanding and organization. Students are now able to work with clear handouts, guided notes, practice activities, and visual references that help them follow lessons more effectively. For many students, especially those who benefit from structured and visual learning supports, having materials in front of them makes concepts easier to understand and less overwhelming. This has led to increased confidence, better focus, and stronger academic engagement.\r\n\r\nThe materials provided through this project have also strengthened my teaching in meaningful ways. I am now able to prepare organized lessons, differentiate instruction, and respond to student needs more efficiently. I can print resources as needed, provide extra support to students who need it, and ensure that no one is left behind due to lack of materials. Having reliable access to these tools has allowed me to focus more on instruction, feedback, and relationship-building rather than managing limited resources.\r\n\r\nTechnology plays an important role in modern classrooms, and this project has helped bridge digital tools with hands-on learning. I am able to create and adapt instructional materials digitally, then bring them into the classroom in printed form where students can annotate, highlight, and interact with the content. This combination supports multiple learning styles and improves retention. Students are not just viewing information on a screen; they are actively engaging with it in a way that deepens understanding.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the sense of preparedness and ownership these materials provide. Having their own organized packets and resources makes them feel valued and capable. Students take greater pride in their work, stay more organized, and are more willing to participate because they feel equipped to succeed.\r\n\r\nThis project has been especially impactful for students who struggle with organization, attention, or confidence. Having consistent printed supports helps them stay on track and feel less anxious about learning. English language learners and students who benefit from repetition and structure have shown noticeable growth in both participation and comprehension.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting \"Printing, Writing, and Organizing for Success!\" Your generosity has helped create a classroom where learning is accessible, structured, and empowering. The impact of your support is felt daily, and it will continue to shape my students' success well beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1762267697762,"projectUrl":"project/printing-writing-and-organizing-for-su/9525685/","projectTitle":"Printing, Writing, and Organizing for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dufresne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10107000_orig.jpg?crop=1158,1158,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768586823239","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10107000"},{"teacherId":10160641,"projectId":9550928,"letterContent":"On behalf of the ESOL class from RCHS, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to our \"Trip Around the World\" event.
