The iPad has given us various online programs and applications, and has significantly enhanced our students' ability to engage with instruction. We are so happy that we no longer need to sharpen pencils by hand and we are able to streamline our routines and allowed us to focus more time on meaningful learning. Our hands are also very grateful! \r\n\r\nIn addition to digital tools, our hands-on activities have played a crucial role in supporting students with tactile learning needs. These activities offer opportunities for increased engagement, focus, and sensory exploration, helping students deepen their understanding of concepts through active participation. The combination of technology and hands-on experiences has created a more accessible, dynamic, and student-centered learning environment, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact it continues to have on our classroom. Thank you so much for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1758573021806,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-help-us-build-success/9708556/","projectTitle":"Tools to Help Us Build Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Toon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10256758_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y259&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757627234656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10256758"},{"teacherId":134886,"projectId":9613406,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my new (to me) classroom. This year I moved up to 5th grade after spending the past 24 years in the lower grades. I am loving 5th grade, but the move presented 2 big challenges. One was I have 25 or everything, not 33. The other is space! 33 big kids is a lot in one room. \r\nSo you might think stools and picnic blankets seems simple, but they allow me to expand our learning environment. The stools push under the table, saving space and creating a work space for students to meet as a group. They are also light enough for students to easily move around the room to create small groups or partners. We are fortunate to have trees and grass right outside, so students can set up blankets to sit outside to read or work with groups. \r\nI appreciate your support of my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1756142684404,"projectUrl":"project/have-a-seat/9613406/","projectTitle":"Have a Seat","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Geis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp134886_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504314850267","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-geis"},{"teacherId":134886,"projectId":9261153,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom with this fun project. The idea behind this project was to share different versions of familiar fairy tales with students. They would then use these stories as inspiration to create their own fractured fairy tale books that they would share with families at Open House. \r\nMy 3rd graders had so much fun listening to these silly stories! Hearing these creative takes on tales they have known forever allowed them to open up their own creative drives. They became authors and illustrators. They wrote more than I had ever seen before and were so proud to share their books with friends and families. \r\nYour generosity helped inspire a class of learners. And who knows, maybe a future author was in there! Next school year I will be teaching 5th grade and the beauty of the resources you have supported is they can be used next year with my new 5th grade class.","fullyFundedDate":1746453318929,"projectUrl":"project/fractured-fairy-tale-fun/9261153/","projectTitle":"Fractured Fairy Tale Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Geis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp134886_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504314850267","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-geis"},{"teacherId":601779,"projectId":9206322,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donationg to our class.

The place value discs will help the students with rounding, adding, subtracting, multiplying and many other concepts we cover through the year. The patter blocks will help us visualize fractions of a whole and help us when we work deeper with fractions this year. The beaded number lines will give students a great visual for rounding and will also help strengthen our multiplication facts through through the year.
