I was able to create laminated visual aids, task cards, and reusable worksheets that students use daily, helping reinforce lessons and maintain structure. Sticker paper allowed me to label laptops, workbooks, shelves, and student materials, promoting organization, responsibility, and ownership of the classroom space.\r\n\r\nAt my Title I school, these resources ensure all students have equal access to high-quality learning tools. Board games such as UNO, Chess, and Connect Four became powerful motivators and meaningful brain breaks, encouraging students to complete their work while building critical thinking, collaboration, and positive peer interactions. Overall, this project helped create a balanced learning environment where structure, engagement, and fun work together to support student success.","fullyFundedDate":1759264778699,"projectUrl":"project/visumathics-and-beyond-visuals-games/9670307/","projectTitle":"VisuMathics and Beyond: Visuals, Games, and Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ferrer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8915099_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694838511713","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8915099"},{"teacherId":8915099,"projectId":9544603,"letterContent":"This project has improved my classroom by giving students meaningful, hands-on learning experiences in both math and science. Students use worksheets and cutouts to actively engage with lessons by sorting, organizing, and practicing concepts. In science, cutouts are used to classify examples of wave characteristics such as refraction, reflection, and transmission, helping students better understand abstract ideas. In math, colored paper is used to create visual supports like formulas, checklists, and step-by-step guides.\r\n\r\nMy students attend a Title I school and benefit greatly from paper-based materials that ensure equal access to learning tools. Writing, cutting, and sorting strengthen understanding and improve retention more effectively than technology alone. These materials help students organize their thinking, explain their reasoning, and build confidence while participating in lessons and presentations. Overall, this project has created a more engaging, supportive learning environment that helps students succeed academically.","fullyFundedDate":1759316172561,"projectUrl":"project/solving-problems-by-hand/9544603/","projectTitle":"Solving Problems by Hand","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ferrer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8915099_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694838511713","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8915099"},{"teacherId":8915099,"projectId":9670055,"letterContent":"This project has made a huge and immediate difference in my classroom. Thanks to your support, my students now have the updated tools they need to stay focused, confident, and engaged.\r\n\r\nThe new headphones have significantly cut down on distractions, enabling students to fully focus on instructional videos, math tutorials, and digital learning platforms. For many, this quiet time has truly helped them process and retain new information. Plus, the addition of functional computer mice have enhanced their ability to complete online tasks more accurately—whether it's dragging and shading geometric figures, typing responses, or navigating practice assessments.\r\n\r\nIn a Title I school like ours, where many students encounter academic and personal challenges, having dependable resources makes a world of difference. These tools have not only improved our classroom's functionality, but they've also boosted student confidence and independence. Students are more engaged, more motivated, and better prepared for quarterly benchmarks and state assessments.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom is now a more supportive and productive learning environment.
