Your generosity has already made a visible difference in my students' learning and confidence.\r\n\r\nOur school serves many students who juggle work, family care, and school responsibilities, and for most of them, this has been their first structured art class. Usually, we have only 2–6 students in a group, but this class grew to over 25 students, a clear sign of how much they value creative learning.\r\n\r\nWith the materials you funded, students practiced shading, proportion, and grid drawing, etc. Many who once struggled to stay focused are now producing detailed, thoughtful work. 6 groups chose the old school poster, just black and white, and redesigned with their fun designs.\r\n\r\nBeyond art skills, this project has helped students manage stress, build perseverance, and gain confidence, lessons that will carry directly into our next step soon: integrating art with math. The creativity and focus they've developed here will help them approach problem-solving in new ways.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving these students a chance to discover their strengths and take pride in their work. Your support has opened doors to both artistic and academic growth.","fullyFundedDate":1757109157161,"projectUrl":"project/from-doodles-to-dreams-building-confide/9463665/","projectTitle":"From Doodles to Dreams: Building Confidence Through Art & Math","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beag","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10079774_orig.jpg?crop=2560,2560,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752545806368","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10079774"},{"teacherId":9839319,"projectId":9135224,"letterContent":"Thank you for your Generosity and support for our teams and our students here at Pima Rose Academy in Tucson, Arizona.

We see the set of instructions in words to evaluate and solve expressions. We can provide questions and responses visually and verbally. Then students can hear how an expression is supposed to sound with its visual representation when we use the example of x^2+1 when x=2. They can do the process and check their understanding.\"-Reyes\r\n\"It helps in a multitude of ways, not just for quick observation, but for problem-solving and understanding. Whiteboards are less traumatic when mistakes are made because we can easily wipe them away and try again. That's when the breakthroughs happen.\"-Dr. Herman\r\n\"The whiteboard hits different learning strategies. It provides visual aid and supports tangible learning styles. The interactive style helps students to take ownership of their learning.\"-Ruiz\r\n\"I love the magnets and how it's portable! It makes things so much easier for teaching math!\"-Guthrie\r\n\"It's resourceful to be able to take information in and out of view to create focus for students as they are learning new skills and concepts.\"-Chauhan\r\n\"I love the size! I can easily show demonstrations in Art.\"-Beag\r\n\"This allows me to model instruction for students.
