I really started using Wayground (previously named Quizizz) during Covid lockdowns, and have always loved it. However, my appreciation has grown with the paid subscription. The premium subscription has opened many new benefits. The main benefit is having unlimited activity creation. Previously, I could only have 20 activities. That meant creating assessments, then deleting them in order to produce more. That is no longer a problem. \r\n\r\nAlso, Wayground now has a \"review and submit\" option. Students can review their answers to be sure they are correct before any grading takes place. Before, once students picked an answer, it was locked in-no changes. Creating assignments is super easy. I can create from scratch, upload a passage and questions, or simply have the AI tool create from my worksheet. My students now have loads of study material in a format that they enjoy. \r\n\r\nTo say your donation impacted my classroom is an understatement. I am truly appreciative.","fullyFundedDate":1764173465361,"projectUrl":"project/building-confident-learners-with-waygrou/9924061/","projectTitle":"Building Confident Learners with Wayground","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lemons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5319991_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533677314360","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-lemons"},{"teacherId":1909771,"projectId":9931243,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our project to help build relationships with peers in younger grades!

It was a great review for my students to go back and learn blends, syllables, and many math skills they now see was imperative to get them where they are today. It helped solidify some of their own grade- level skills! This was especially true when creating place value games for the younger get grades. \r\n\r\nWithout having permission, we could jot , unfortunately, take pictures of our actual game day with the younger students. We were hoping to obtain permission slips for the students, but the permission slips did not go home. We have, however we, enclosed pictures of a days we worked in our class, creating these activities for the younger students. \r\n\r\nThank you again for providing us with the printer to give us color - filled activities we could use .

I've had the privilege to teach The Outsiders novel 6 times to 6th graders. It is a wonderful story filled with characters who become alive as the book is read. I've watched students find themselves in the characters of the book, evaluate their choices, and vow to make a change in how they perceive others in the future. \r\n\r\nThis year was no different. Thanks to your generosity, my students were quickly invested in the lives of Ponyboy and his buddies. Many discussions were had about how all actions have consequences-either postive or negative. Not all stories are happily-ever-after stories. There is not a knight in shining armour to save the day in The Outsiders; however, the characters are brave and gallant as they face a world that means to destroy them. As the last lines were read, my students took away the lesson that they should be slow to judge and fast to understand. It was an amazing 9 weeks of reading.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for providing each student with a copy of the novel. In the words of Johnny Cade, \"Stay Gold, Ponyboy.
