Thanks to your support, we have received an iPad, dry-erase markers, dry-erase boards, whiteboard cleaner spray, and dry-erase clipboards. These resources have already made a tremendous impact on my students' learning.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has created new opportunities for engagement. Students can access interactive reading and math apps that not only support their foundational skills but also keep them motivated through hands-on technology. It has also become a valuable tool for small-group instruction, allowing me to differentiate lessons and provide immediate feedback.\r\n\r\nThe dry-erase materials have transformed our daily routines. With individual boards, markers, and clipboards, students can practice writing, spelling, and math problems in an interactive way. Instead of using paper for every activity, they can quickly show their work, erase, and try again. This has encouraged risk-taking, improved participation, and reduced classroom waste. The cleaner spray helps us maintain the boards so they last longer and stay in good condition.\r\n\r\nOverall, these donations have given my students the tools to learn in a more engaging, collaborative, and effective way. Your generosity has made our classroom a brighter, more interactive place where students feel excited to learn each day.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for making a lasting difference in their education.","fullyFundedDate":1746487445726,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboards-gadgets-fueling-imaginati/9206829/","projectTitle":"Whiteboards & Gadgets: Fueling Imagination in Every Lesson!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glover","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9939705"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34777","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":343,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":34777,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mary W Jackson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mary W Jackson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/hampton-city-schools/tucker-capps-elementary-school/34777"}
