Since the materials have arrived we have immediately added these items to our student store. The first day that the store was open, students in the wider community were awestruck by these items! They could not believed that these items were items that were meant for them. Since then, in all of our future stores, students have eagerly awaited and ask when they can go to the store and how to earn more beaver bucks so they can redeem for these items.\r\n\r\nFor my leadership students, it has inspired them to continue to take care of the store as well as encourage their peers to continue to earn beaver bucks. It has inspired them to step up as leaders. The class have ideas on how else we can continue to expand the store as well as support positive behaviors on campus. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, students at school continue to share ideas on what we should offer next in our store. My leadership students are highly motivated to continue to make the store a place where students want to go and to earn those beaver bucks.","fullyFundedDate":1755741963598,"projectUrl":"project/beaver-student-store/9515711/","projectTitle":"Beaver Student Store","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Luong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3176962_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502927591802","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cluong"},{"teacherId":4434959,"projectId":9668245,"letterContent":"Our Donors Choose Items & How They Support Learning in Math 6\r\n\r\nThanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, our Future Mathematicians in Training (FMIT) at Wood Middle School now have access to a range of essential classroom tools that support engagement, creativity, collaboration, and deep mathematical thinking. Here is how each item is already making a difference:\r\n\r\n🎯 Instructional & Curriculum Resources\r\n\r\n$100 Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Card\r\nThis gift card allows me to purchase high-quality, standards-aligned math resources that help differentiate instruction for all learners—especially newcomers, multilingual students, and those who benefit from additional support or enrichment. These materials bring variety, creativity, and rigor to our daily lessons.\r\n\r\n🎲 Games for Number Sense & Community Building\r\n\r\nUNO Card Game – 12-Pack\r\nUNO is more than a game in our classroom! It helps students practice number recognition, colors, turn-taking, and strategic thinking. It's especially supportive for newcomers adjusting to English and learning classroom vocabulary through play. It also strengthens community during advisory, lunch, and partner activities.\r\n\r\n📊 Tools for Teaching & Visual Learning\r\n\r\nPost-It Self-Stick Easel Pads (Grid Ruled, 25x30, 2-pack)\r\nThese large grid anchor chart pads help us model problem-solving strategies, create visual references, and build class-generated math thinking. Students rely on these anchor charts as daily learning supports throughout the room.\r\n\r\n✏️ Whiteboards & Supplies for Problem-Solving\r\n\r\n24-Pack Mini Whiteboards with Erasers\r\nThese give students the ability to quickly show their thinking, work through multi-step problems, and participate in whole-class and small-group discussions. Whiteboards lower the barrier to participation and build confidence through fast feedback.\r\n\r\n📝 Classroom Essentials to Support Everyday Learning\r\n\r\nPost-it Notes, Poptimistic Collection (18 pads, 2 sets)\r\nStudents use these for exit tickets, quick checks, error analysis, partner activities, and interactive notebooks.\r\n\r\nSchool Smart Graph Paper (500 sheets, 2 packs)\r\nPerfect for decimals, coordinate planes, ratios, surface area/volume drawings, and neat organization in math work.\r\n\r\n320 Pre-sharpened #2 Pencils\r\nA classroom staple—ensuring every student always has a ready-to-use pencil increases learning time and reduces stress.\r\n\r\n60 Elmer's Glue Sticks\r\nUsed for interactive foldables, math journals, anchor activities, and project-based learning.\r\n\r\n200 Pencil-Top Erasers\r\nSmall but mighty! These help students revise work easily and encourage a growth-mindset approach to correcting mistakes.\r\n\r\n🧽 Clean & Welcoming Classroom Environment\r\n\r\nClorox Compostable Cleaning Wipes (3-pack)\r\nThese keep our space clean, safe, and inviting—especially important for classrooms with high traffic, shared materials, and hands-on learning.\r\n\r\n💛 A Final Thank You\r\n\r\nEvery item in this project directly supports student engagement, creativity, and success in mathematics. From building number sense with UNO to strengthening problem-solving with whiteboards and graph paper, your generosity helps our learners feel prepared, supported, and excited about math every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for championing the dreams and futures of our FMIT scholars here in Alameda.","fullyFundedDate":1757439350301,"projectUrl":"project/making-math-6-come-alive/9668245/","projectTitle":"Making Math 6 Come Alive","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dietz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4434959_orig.jpg?crop=318,318,x95,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756656800153","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrcdietzwoodms"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3740","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":603,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":31,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.3,"schoolId":3740,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Will C Wood Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Will C Wood Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/alameda-unified-school-district/will-c-wood-middle-school/3740"}
