This allows them to work more independently and practice skills in a format very similar to state testing. It's been amazing to see them building confidence while using the tools.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were excited to dive in. Many of them commented on how much easier it is to focus with the headphones, and they were eager to try the new activities right away.\r\n\r\nWe've also started exploring the additional resources, and we'll be gradually incorporating them throughout the year. The next step for my students is to use these tools during upcoming lessons to strengthen problem-solving skills and prepare for larger projects. I'm thrilled to have these resources available, and I know they will make a lasting impact on my students' learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746785609679,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-math-bringing-our-new-curricul/9268630/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Math: Bringing Our New Curriculum to Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Guyer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8368976_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745504044174","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8368976"},{"teacherId":4609142,"projectId":9063747,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating 37 copies of \"Number the Stars\" by Lois Lowry.

Our students are discovering their love for literature, and they are very excited to start this book. Your generous donation will truly impact these students. Not only does it put. books in their hands, but it shows them that people care about them and want to invest in their education.
