The organizational supplies have been a game-changer for our geometry unit. Last week, students used the graph paper you provided to plot coordinate pairs and discover the properties of quadrilaterals firsthand. When Mateo, who typically struggles with abstract concepts, successfully mapped and measured his own quadrilateral design using our new colored pencils, his face lit up with pride. \"Mrs. Garcia, I can actually see why this works now!\" he exclaimed to the class.\r\nWhen the boxes of supplies first arrived, my students' reactions were priceless. Many rushed to organize their new binders with dividers, creating sections for different math concepts with genuine excitement. \"This is mine to keep?\" asked Sofia in disbelief when handed her own set of highlighters. For many of my students at our Title I school, these were the first new school supplies they'd ever owned. The ownership and responsibility they've developed has directly translated to increased engagement and homework completion rates.\r\nLooking ahead, we're preparing for our \"Math in the Real World\" project where students will use their new dry-erase markers on laminated blueprints to design scale models of their dream playgrounds. They'll calculate area, perimeter, and costs while working in collaborative groups—made possible by having sufficient supplies for everyone. The organizational bins you funded will store their in-progress work between sessions, allowing for more complex, multi-day projects than we've ever attempted before. Your generosity has opened doors to deeper learning experiences that will carry these students far beyond our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1737321332802,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-learners-essential-resources/9039131/","projectTitle":"Empowering Learners: Essential Resources for Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Utrera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/utrera"},{"teacherId":8373589,"projectId":8592500,"letterContent":"I use my PBIS incentives prizes every week to reward my students for following our four school rules which are being safe, being respectful, responsible and kind in school.

Many students expressed excitement at the prospect of engaging in hands-on learning, while others were initially hesitant due to the perceived complexity of the task.
