From the smaller everyday items like pencils and notecards, to the larger items like a new bookshelf for the ASL class, each and every item has been put to good use. \r\n\r\nMrs. Passey is excited to have a new bookshelf to store supplies on because her old one was leaning and nearly falling down.\r\n\r\nMr. McAtee received pencils, notecards, and new math posters for his integrated math classes.\r\n\r\nMrs. Lewis got a map to show scholars where different Spanish speaking countries are when they are discussing culture in addition to new markers to foster project based learning.\r\n\r\nMrs. Turley received colored pencils and a map for her Modern US History class.

The integration of high-quality audio through our new Bose SoundLink Flex speaker has completely transformed how my students engage with instructional content. Many of our scholars are visual and auditory learners, and having crystal-clear sound for our educational videos and verbal directions ensures that no one misses a beat. In a busy classroom, technology like this acts as a bridge, making sure every student, regardless of where they are sitting, can hear and process information effectively.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting addition for the students has undoubtedly been the individual whiteboards and vibrant liquid chalk markers. There is a visible spark of joy when they get to pick up a bright marker to participate in an educational game. These tools have turned what used to be passive listening into a hands-on, interactive experience. My students who used to be hesitant to raise their hands have especially warmed to this technology; the whiteboards provide a \"low-stakes\" way for them to show their thinking and take risks without the fear of making a permanent mistake on paper.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has empowered these scholars to move from passive listeners to active, confident participants. By providing resources like the dice sets, rulers, and cardstock, you have given them the tools to collaborate, create, and thrive. Thank you for investing in their future and helping us build an inclusive environment where every student feels seen and heard.","fullyFundedDate":1768500925739,"projectUrl":"project/active-learning-in-the-classroom/10013274/","projectTitle":"Active Learning In The Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fraser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7642242"},{"teacherId":7642242,"projectId":10085148,"letterContent":"I want to express my deepest thanks for providing the materials for our \"Rocks of Resilience\" project. When the boxes of smooth river stones, vibrant acrylic paints, and weather-resistant sealants arrived, my students were beyond excited. There is something uniquely tactile and grounding about holding a stone, and seeing their faces light up as they realized they would be turning these natural objects into \"messages of hope\" was a highlight of our semester.\r\n\r\nWe used these resources to create a dual-impact project. First, students carefully painted \"Friendship Rocks\" to build a Kindness Garden right here on our school grounds. It has become a peaceful spot where students can go to feel encouraged. Second, the students poured their hearts into creating \"Resilience Stones\" specifically for our local hospital. One student spent nearly an hour perfecting a tiny sunflower, saying, \"I want someone who feels sick to see this and know someone is rooting for them.\"\r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students involve a reflection piece where they will write about the power of small acts of kindness. This project taught them that you don't need a huge platform to change someone's day sometimes, you just need a rock and a little bit of color.","fullyFundedDate":1770415220432,"projectUrl":"project/rocks-of-resilience-spreading-hope-in-o/10085148/","projectTitle":"Rocks of Resilience: Spreading Hope in Our Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fraser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7642242"},{"teacherId":8641975,"projectId":9952500,"letterContent":"My students have had so much fun making cards for one of the local physical therapy care homes!
