Your donation has made a tremendous difference in our daily learning, and we've been using it constantly in ways that have enhanced both instruction and engagement. This iPad has truly become an essential part of our classroom routine, helping us explore new ideas, stay organized, and make learning more interactive and meaningful.\r\nFrom the very first week of school, the iPad has been used in countless ways. During small group instruction and conferencing, it has allowed me to provide more individualized feedback and monitor student progress efficiently. I can easily pull up reading assessments, fluency checks, or writing samples to show students how they've grown over time. Students are able to see their progress firsthand, reflect on their goals, and set new learning targets. This has helped build ownership and pride in their work.\r\nThe iPad has also become a powerful tool during our reading and writing conferences. Students enjoy recording their reading fluency or taking notes digitally, and we can instantly review their recordings to identify strengths and areas for improvement. It has made conferences more interactive, productive, and focused, and students love seeing their growth visually represented. The technology allows me to meet with more students in a shorter amount of time while keeping the process engaging and student-centered.\r\nBeyond conferencing, the iPad has opened up new opportunities for creativity and collaboration. Students have used it to create digital posters, record presentations, and explore educational apps that reinforce concepts across subjects. Whether it's using science apps to explore ecosystems, researching historical events in social studies, or practicing math fluency through interactive games, the iPad has become a gateway for deeper understanding. It supports a wide range of learning styles, giving students multiple ways to access content and demonstrate what they know.\r\nIt's also been incredibly helpful for differentiation. I'm able to quickly assign tailored activities to meet students where they are—whether they need extra support or an additional challenge. The iPad helps ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed at their own pace.\r\nYour generosity has not only provided us with a tool but has also helped create a classroom atmosphere that celebrates curiosity, independence, and joy in learning. It's heartwarming to see students so eager to use technology in meaningful ways to research, create, and share their ideas. The iPad has made learning more engaging and has allowed me to give my students experiences that truly prepare them for the digital world they are growing up in.\r\nMost importantly, your donation has shown my students that people in their community believe in them. Knowing that someone cared enough to invest in their learning journey inspires them to work harder and dream bigger. They recognize that their education matters, and that motivation is priceless.\r\nThank you once again for your incredible generosity. The iPad has already had a lasting impact on our classroom, and it will continue to benefit students for years to come. Your kindness has helped us foster a deeper love of learning, and we are truly thankful for your support and belief in what we do every day.","fullyFundedDate":1733227658951,"projectUrl":"project/technology-for-the-win/8575113/","projectTitle":"Technology for the win","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stalworth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8428927_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739229310081","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-stalworth"},{"teacherId":8428927,"projectId":9101269,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations toward the weighted stuffed animals for my classroom! These cuddly friends have quickly become a favorite among my students they absolutely love having them as part of our learning environment.\r\n\r\nBeyond just being adorable and comforting, the weighted stuffed animals offer several developmental benefits. They help promote a sense of calm, improve focus during instruction, and provide gentle sensory input that supports emotional regulation especially helpful during transitions or moments of overwhelm.\r\n\r\nIt's been heartwarming to see students naturally gravitate toward them when they need a break, a little comfort, or just a friend to hold while working. Your support is making a real, tangible difference in both their academic engagement and emotional well-being.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make our classroom a safe, supportive, and inclusive space.","fullyFundedDate":1746533886492,"projectUrl":"project/fostering-a-love-for-reading/9101269/","projectTitle":"Fostering a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stalworth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8428927_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739229310081","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-stalworth"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44472","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":596,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":61.9,"schoolId":44472,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about W.B.
