The students are now using and working in the whiteboards to making their thinking visible to everyone.\r\nIt has truly enhanced their mathematical thinking and has leveled up discourse and engagement in my math classroom.\r\n\r\nSeeing the students huddle around the whiteboards to map out complex problems has completely transformed our daily routine. Because their work is vertical and visible, the usual fear of making mistakes has vanished. Students are actively debating strategies, catching their own errors in real-time, and building on each other's ideas with a level of confidence I haven't seen before. It has shifted my role from a traditional lecturer to a facilitator of genuine mathematical discovery. This resource has not only provided a physical tool but has fostered a collaborative, high-energy culture where every student feels empowered to participate, critique reasoning, and take intellectual risks.\r\n\r\nAgain, in behalf of my students, thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1784862014081,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-transform-towards-a-thinking-mat/10389022/","projectTitle":"Help Us Transform Towards A Thinking Math Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Medina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10455530"},{"teacherId":10445112,"projectId":10126658,"letterContent":"We are very grateful for our new percussion equipment. Our students now have access to 1-to-1 percussion instruments to use during instructional time. Before we had the new equipment students were sharing 3 instruments for rehearsals that they couldn't take home for practicing. Now we have the proper instruments that students can borrow to learn and improve with. \r\n\r\nWhen students received the kits for the first time they were very excited and happy about not having to be squished into one instrument. Within a week students were taking drum pads and practice bells home to practice. Now we are able to have a dedicated percussion class in which students can receive dedicated and specific instruction to perform at a higher level.\r\n\r\nFuture plans for the program include going to more regional music festivals for performance and to form a drum line for football games and parades. We want to strive to meet our district vision statement to be competitive, unique, successful, and driven. We are ready to put our school on the map in the musical arena.","fullyFundedDate":1774302901227,"projectUrl":"project/operation-improve-chs-percussion/10126658/","projectTitle":"Operation Improve CHS Percussion","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Begay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10445112"},{"teacherId":10455530,"projectId":10277958,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in funding our project \"Visible Thinking in the Math Classroom Using Whiteboards.\" The addition of these whiteboards has completely transformed our daily learning environment, shifting the classroom from a space of passive listening to one of active, collaborative discovery. When students work out problems on vertical erase surfaces, their mathematical thinking becomes immediately visible to both themselves and their peers. This transparency breaks down the fear of making mistakes, as errors can be easily erased and recalculated, fostering a resilient growth mindset where students view challenges as an essential part of the learning process rather than a failure.The impact of your donation extends far beyond simple workspace; it has fundamentally changed how my students communicate and engage with mathematics. With these whiteboards, students naturally gather in small groups to brainstorm, argue logically, and co-construct solutions to complex problems, which dra exmatically increases their mathematical fluency and engagement. As an educator, having their work displayed publicly allows me to conduct real-time formative assessments at a single glance, enabling me to clear up misconceptions instantly and challenge students exactly when they are ready. Your support has not only provided vital physical tools but has also cultivated a vibrant, collaborative community of young mathematicians who are excited to make their thinking visible every single day.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, please accept our sincere appreciation you.","fullyFundedDate":1783236408649,"projectUrl":"project/visible-thinking-in-the-math-classroom-u/10277958/","projectTitle":"Visible Thinking in the Math Classroom Using Whiteboards","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Medina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10455530"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56984","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":958,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":99,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":36.4,"schoolId":56984,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chinle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chinle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/chinle-unified-school-district-24/chinle-high-school/56984"}
