Your support has made an immediate and meaningful impact on our students' learning, confidence, and ability to succeed in mathematics.\r\n\r\nIn sixth grade, students transition from basic computation to more complex mathematical thinking. This includes working with ratios, rates, integers, rational numbers, and algebraic expressions—all of which are emphasized in the Utah Core Standards for Mathematics. Calculators play an essential role in helping students focus on conceptual understanding rather than getting stuck on lengthy calculations.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, students can now engage more deeply with critical standards such as:\r\n\r\n6. RP.A (Ratios & Proportional Relationships): Students solve real-world problems involving unit rates and ratios. Calculators allow them to efficiently check their reasoning and explore multiple solution strategies.\r\n\r\n6.NS.B (The Number System—Dividing Fractions): Students divide multi-digit numbers and work with rational numbers. Calculators help verify complex operations so they can better understand why procedures work.\r\n\r\n6.EE.A & 6.EE.B (Expressions & Equations): Students evaluate expressions and solve equations involving variables. Calculators support accuracy and allow students to focus on understanding relationships between numbers.\r\n\r\n6.SP.B (Statistics & Probability): Students calculate measures of center and variability. Calculators help them analyze data sets quickly and interpret results meaningfully.\r\n\r\nSpecific classroom impact:\r\n\r\nDuring a recent lesson on integer operations, students were able to use calculators to test the rules they were learning. This reinforced conceptual understanding and reduced frustration.\r\n\r\nIn our ratio unit, students compared unit prices and solved multi-step real-world problems more confidently because they could rely on calculators to check their work.\r\n\r\nWhen working on expressions and equations, calculators allowed students to evaluate complex expressions accurately, enabling them to focus on the logic behind each step.\r\n\r\nYour generosity ensures that all students—regardless of background—have access to the tools they need to succeed. These calculators help create an equitable learning environment where students can explore challenging problems, build confidence, and develop the mathematical thinking skills essential for success in middle school, high school, and beyond.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and support. You have truly made a difference in our classroom, and our students are grateful for the opportunities you have helped create.\r\n\r\nWith appreciation,\r\nCami Read and 6th-grade students","fullyFundedDate":1756303432090,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-math-potential-with-calculator/9638289/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Math Potential with Calculators in Sixth Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Read","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10213629"},{"teacherId":10174392,"projectId":9799210,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of filament for our classroom 3D printer! \r\n\r\nYour support is helping us make creativity and our 3D printing projects possible every single day. \r\n\r\nEach spool of filament means more opportunities for my students to bring their ideas to life.

Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our learning environment, and I want to sincerely thank you on behalf of all my students and myself.\r\n\r\nWhen the books arrived, the excitement on my students' faces was truly unforgettable. There is something magical about holding a new book, turning its crisp pages, and discovering new worlds and ideas—and you made that magic possible. Many of my students do not have access to a wide variety of books at home, so having a classroom library rich with options is an incredible gift. Your donation has opened up new opportunities for them to read, explore, and grow.\r\n\r\nBooks are more than just pages and words—they are powerful tools that foster imagination, critical thinking, empathy, and lifelong learning. Whether it's a story that helps a student see the world from a different perspective, or a nonfiction book that sparks curiosity in science or history, every single book plays a part in shaping young minds. Thanks to you, our classroom now has more resources to support literacy development and a deeper love for reading.\r\n\r\nI have already seen students diving into the new books, recommending favorites to each other, and discussing characters and plots with enthusiasm. Some students who were previously hesitant readers have found titles that caught their interest, and it's been amazing to see them become more engaged and confident. These small but powerful changes are a direct result of your support.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the joy these books bring, your donation also sends an important message to my students—that there are people in the community who care deeply about their education and success. This kind of encouragement can be incredibly motivating, especially for children who may face challenges outside of school. Knowing that someone out there believes in their potential makes a real difference.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your kindness will continue to inspire learning every day. Each book will be read and reread, shared and discussed, and cherished by many students over the coming years. It is a gift that keeps giving, and we are so fortunate to benefit from it.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our entire classroom community, thank you again for your thoughtful and impactful donation. You have helped create a richer, more inspiring learning environment, and your generosity will not be forgotten.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1736961370900,"projectUrl":"project/new-books-for-classroom-library/8902854/","projectTitle":"New Books for Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kati","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8299223_orig.jpg?crop=2306,2306,x302,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709930037015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mskatilaptop"},{"teacherId":2518433,"projectId":8773845,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations to our bright carpet for our classroom!
