They could hardly believe that all these supplies were just for them. We opened the boxes together, and they eagerly helped me organize the new colored pencils, dry-erase markers, and sheet protectors. One student said, \"Now our maps will actually look like the ones in the textbook!\" Another smiled proudly when I handed out the calculators, finally able to focus on solving problems without using his phone.\r\n\r\nIn World History, we've already started using the large-format paper to create enlarged maps and timelines. The colored pencils have made such a difference—students now work together to color regions, label civilizations, and make connections visually. For my students who need accommodations, the enlarged printouts and reusable protected pages have allowed them to access the same material as their peers with confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nIn Math, the calculators have been a game-changer. My push-in students now solve equations and geometry problems without the distractions of their cell phones. They're collaborating more, comparing answers, and taking pride in their work. These resources have truly made learning more inclusive, engaging, and joyful. Thank you for making it possible for my students to experience learning that's hands-on, visual, and full of heart.","fullyFundedDate":1762476867783,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-history-and-math-to-life-for-al/9711353/","projectTitle":"Bringing History and Math to Life for All Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Capupus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp597185_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744128955619","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pcapupus"},{"teacherId":525410,"projectId":9300960,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my first and now 2nd year of teaching Fiber Arts and Textiles.

I'm thrilled to share the impact this project has had on my students' learning.\r\n\r\nMany of us interact with technology every day, but seeing how it's used to deepen learning in a math classroom is something truly special. With the motion sensors now connected to our TI graphing calculators, students are literally able to see math come to life. As they walk across the classroom, the devices instantly record and plot their movement as a graph—creating a real-time visual representation of slope, distance, and time. Suddenly, abstract algebraic ideas like positive and negative slope become intuitive and concrete.\r\n\r\nThe moment students realized that their own motion created the graph, everything changed. One student excitedly exclaimed, \"Wait, that's ME on the graph?\" That sense of ownership and curiosity immediately increased engagement. Instead of just learning about slope from a textbook, they were actively creating slope, seeing how moving away or toward the motion sensor changed the direction and steepness of the graph. This physical experience made it so much easier for students to grasp concepts like constant speed, changing direction, and the relationship between position and time.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things about this technology is that it reaches a broad spectrum of learners. Some students who typically struggle with abstract reasoning lit up when they saw the graphs respond in real-time to their walking. It gave them a different entry point into the math—something they could feel and see, not just compute. A few students even started designing their own \"graphing challenges\" where they'd try to move in a way that produced a specific line shape on the screen (like a steep incline or a flat line), and challenged their peers to match it.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who often hesitates to speak up during lessons, took on a leadership role in helping others understand how to interpret the graphs. He would narrate their motions and point to changes on the screen in real-time, explaining things like, \"See? When you stopped walking, the line flattened out!\" It was powerful to watch his confidence grow as he found his voice through hands-on math.\r\n\r\nYour donation made all of this possible. You didn't just help us purchase equipment—you helped bring math alive for my students, foster deeper understanding, and spark joy in learning through movement and real-time feedback.

Students who have a difficult time use the timers to work for 15-20 minutes oit a time. They feel accomplished when the timer goes off. The timers are also very useful when the students go to the restroom. They use them to return to class in a timely manner. Students seem to see it as a challenge they need to meet or beat. The posters have really made a difference in creating a math-class environment and visual aids that are not only useful but that brighten the look of the classroom. The games have been a fun way for the students to reinforce concepts. The biggest problem is not having enough for students to play. The whiteboard has been useful when reteaching to students in a small group.\r\n\r\nWe started receiving our items, right after we returned from Winter break. We received a box a day for a few days. It felt like Christmas and students were guessing as to what was in the boxes. \r\n\r\nThe next steps are to use the posters we received about famous mathematician, for students to do a research project on the mathematician's most known contribution to math.

While it may seem like a simple item, the 3 by 5 notecards you provided quickly became one of the most powerful tools in my classroom. From the moment we opened the box, students were excited to dive into their studies, and these cards became central to how we reviewed, practiced, and prepared for success.\r\n\r\nThe impact was immediate. As we began our geometry unit, students used the notecards to create personalized flashcards for key vocabulary like congruent, parallel, complementary angles, and the Pythagorean Theorem. Each student created their own set, carefully writing definitions on one side and diagrams or examples on the other. These flashcards not only reinforced their understanding but also gave them a tangible resource they could study with at home or with peers in class.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment came when I observed a group of students during our review week forming study circles and quizzing one another using the notecards. What stood out was the confidence they showed—many of these students had struggled earlier in the year, but being able to organize the information themselves helped make the content feel more approachable. One student told me, \"I actually like studying now because I made these myself—I know what's on them.\"\r\n\r\nBeyond flashcards, students began to get creative. Some created color-coded notecard study guides, organizing theorems, formulas, and problem-solving steps by topic. Others made mini \"cheat sheets\" (teacher-approved!) that they used during practice tests to reduce anxiety and build independence. These notecards helped foster a sense of autonomy and responsibility in their learning—they weren't just memorizing terms; they were building personalized systems that worked for them.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the notecards, they were surprised that such a basic item could be \"just for them.\" Many of my students don't often have access to extra supplies at home, so being able to write, study, and organize their notes in a way that felt personal was incredibly meaningful. It was a small thing that made a big difference—they felt seen, supported, and better equipped to tackle challenging material.\r\n\r\nAs for what's next: we're now moving into our algebra review unit, and students have already started using notecards to summarize steps for solving linear equations and graphing inequalities. I've even introduced a \"Notecard Challenge,\" where students must create a deck of at least 20 cards that represent the key ideas from the unit and then use those cards to quiz a partner. It's turning into a fun, collaborative, and effective way to review.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide a classroom supply—it gave students a chance to learn how to study, how to take pride in their work, and how to support one another. The notecards have created opportunities for creativity, peer collaboration, and academic growth. On behalf of every student who filled out a flashcard and used it to better understand a tough concept, thank you. Your kindness made a real and lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1566865113510,"projectUrl":"project/3-by-5-notecards-for-study-aids/4430159/","projectTitle":"3\" by 5\" Notecards for Study Aids","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mori","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp839314_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566666363708","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-mori"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4060","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1823,"numTeachers":81,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.1,"schoolId":4060,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Antioch High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Antioch High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/antioch-unified-school-district/antioch-high-school/4060"}
