Many of our students come from homes where technology is prevalent, but often, they are not exposed to the specific tools used in education. The TI-84 calculators have proven to be an invaluable resource, allowing students to visualize mathematical concepts in ways that traditional methods simply cannot. From graphing equations to solving complex problems, these devices provide a hands-on, interactive approach that enhances understanding and engagement in subjects like algebra, calculus, and statistics.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect of the TI-84 calculators is how they bring abstract concepts to life. For instance, students who previously struggled with graphing functions have shown significant improvement, now able to see the direct relationship between equations and their graphical representations. A few students, in particular, have really embraced the technology—those with a keen interest in STEM fields have found the calculators to be a perfect tool to experiment and explore further. Their newfound confidence and excitement for learning is evident as they actively use the calculators to test hypotheses and solve problems with ease. Your contribution has truly made a lasting impact, and we are so thankful for your support in empowering our students' education.","fullyFundedDate":1649348085141,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-the-curve-in-science-and-math/6261290/","projectTitle":"Leveling the Curve in Science and Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Johnston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5304048"},{"teacherId":5304048,"projectId":6739774,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in helping us purchase new scales for our classroom! There was lots of excitement when my students first saw the scales—many of them couldn't wait to start exploring how things weigh and compare. We've already put them to great use. Watching them collaborate, measure with precision, and even troubleshoot when things didn't quite go as planned was incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThese new tools have opened up a whole new level of hands-on learning. Next, we'll be diving into a unit on environmental science, where students will measure and compare different soil and water samples. Your support has truly helped us bring learning to life in a meaningful way, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to keep growing together.

The arrival of our new class chairs has truly transformed our learning environment. My students were absolutely thrilled when they first walked in and saw the fresh, comfortable seating—they couldn't believe the change! One student even exclaimed, \"It feels like a brand-new classroom!\" The excitement was contagious, and it immediately boosted the energy in the room.\r\n\r\nWe're already putting the chairs to great use. During a recent group project on persuasive writing, students were able to easily arrange their seating to collaborate in small groups, which made our discussions more dynamic and engaging. The flexible seating has encouraged more movement, more interaction, and a sense of ownership over our shared space. Your support has not only provided comfort, but has also inspired creativity and collaboration.

We have already seen an impact because we were able to move all of the concert folders into the new folder cupboard and free up some space in other areas of the classroom. This will overall help with storage and streamlining rehearsal and concert preparations. \r\nIt was fun to see the students reactions when they first walked through the door of the classroom after spring break. Some of the students walked in with confused looks on their faces, some walked right past it and didn't notice because it was put where the old folder cupboard was, and some were super happy to see the larger, more stable cupboard. When it was pointed out to the students who didn't notice it, they were shocked and embarrassed that they didn't notice it before. It was really funny!\r\nWe are currently working on the end of the year music for our final concert and are thrilled to be able to transition to the new cupboard in a few short weeks. \r\nThank you again for all that you do in support of our students and our schools!","fullyFundedDate":1736970299956,"projectUrl":"project/music-soars-when-its-organized/9053079/","projectTitle":"Music Soars...
