Student can now organize games, invite friends to play, and rotate through different activities like flying discs, card games, puzzles, and brain teasers. It has been incredible to watch students who normally sit quietly during breaks jump into friendly competition, laughter, and teamwork. The snacks and small prizes have also helped create a positive environment where students feel welcome, supported, and motivated to participate.\r\n\r\nThese resources are now part of a structured space where students can recharge their minds and bodies before returning to their classes. The movement activities like Gaga Ball and outdoor games give students a chance to release energy, while puzzles, fidget tools, and card games provide quieter ways to relax and think strategically. Many of these same students spend their class time solving complex problems in STEM, robotics, and computer science, so having this outlet helps them return to learning more focused and ready to tackle new challenges. Moving forward, we will continue expanding these activities during lunch and after-school time, encouraging students to build leadership, organize tournaments, and create a positive community centered around teamwork, creativity, and healthy breaks during the school day.","fullyFundedDate":1772079771442,"projectUrl":"project/game-over-supplies-for-esports-compute/10115578/","projectTitle":"Game Over: Supplies for Esports, Computer Science, and PBIS","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. York's STEM and Robotics Lab","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3606363_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1462978540908","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-yorkstem"},{"teacherId":3606363,"projectId":10046826,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom through DonorsChoose.

Chemistry often requires students to visualize abstract ideas—such as atomic structure, molecular bonding, and reaction mechanisms—and the magnetic whiteboards have made these concepts far more tangible and accessible.\r\n\r\nFor example, when teaching chemical bonding, I use magnetic element symbols and valence electron dots to model ionic and covalent bonds directly on the board. Students physically move the pieces to show electron transfer or sharing, which helps them truly understand what is happening at the atomic level rather than simply memorizing definitions. During lessons on balancing chemical equations, students come to the board to rearrange magnetic coefficients, allowing them to see conservation of mass in action. This hands-on approach makes abstract rules concrete and easier to grasp.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have also enhanced laboratory preparation and analysis. Before conducting experiments, we use the boards to map out procedures, identify variables, and predict outcomes. After labs, students collaboratively construct data tables, graph results, and write balanced equations to represent their findings. Being able to move magnets, attach diagrams of lab equipment, and reorganize information in real time encourages deeper discussion and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the large, visible space allows me to clearly model problem-solving steps for stoichiometry, dimensional analysis, and thermochemistry calculations. I can break down each step while students annotate and ask questions, ensuring that misconceptions are addressed immediately. Small groups frequently gather at different sections of the board to solve practice problems, fostering teamwork and scientific communication.\r\n\r\nOverall, the donated magnetic whiteboards have made my chemistry classroom more interactive, collaborative, and visually engaging. They have strengthened conceptual understanding, increased student participation, and created a more dynamic learning environment where complex scientific ideas come to life.","fullyFundedDate":1765510685271,"projectUrl":"project/wheels-of-wisdom/9947606/","projectTitle":"Wheels of Wisdom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mueller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8674028_orig.jpg?crop=506,506,x0,y438&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716569978394","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8674028"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40805","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1622,"numTeachers":77,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":34.2,"schoolId":40805,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tulare Union High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tulare Union High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/tulare-joint-union-high-school-district/tulare-union-high-school/40805"}
