My students and I have been using the new math manipulatives daily to bring our learning to life. During our division lessons, students used base-ten blocks and area tiles to model problems and visually see how numbers can be broken apart and shared equally. One of my favorite moments was when a student excitedly said, \"Now I get it!\" after using the manipulatives to solve a problem they had been struggling with. The hands-on tools have turned what used to be challenging lessons into opportunities for discovery and confidence building.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using the manipulatives. These tools are helping them build a deeper understanding of math concepts through exploration, collaboration, and creativity. Your support has truly made math more engaging and meaningful for my class—thank you for investing in their curiosity and growth!","fullyFundedDate":1752517248015,"projectUrl":"project/math-manipulatives/9448267/","projectTitle":"Math Manipulatives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sonders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9582526_orig.jpg?crop=3265,3265,x0,y489&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720036663276","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9582526"},{"teacherId":9492733,"projectId":9514069,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donations that provided wobble stools and large whiteboards for my 6th-grade classroom. These additions have truly transformed our learning environment. The wobble stools are now a staple during small group instruction, offering students both comfort and movement while they revisit material they haven't yet mastered. What surprised me most was their reaction. Students who once felt discouraged about being pulled for extra help are now excited to join small group time. The stools have helped them reengage and focus, turning what used to feel like a struggle into something positive and empowering.\r\n\r\nThe large whiteboards have also made a tremendous impact, especially during math lessons. We use them daily to solve multi-step problems and to practice new concepts, such as solving for variables. Our old boards were so small that students constantly ran out of room and had to erase earlier steps, often losing track of their work. The new boards have eliminated that frustration. Students can now show their full thinking process, check their work, and collaborate more easily. Your donations have not only improved our classroom tools but also boosted students' confidence and joy in learning.

Thanks to your support, we have successfully funded these innovative seating options for our classroom, and I cannot overstate the positive impact they are having on my students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nWobble stools are not just fun and engaging; they offer numerous benefits that enhance our classroom environment. Here are a few key advantages:\r\n\r\nImproved Focus: The dynamic movement offered by wobble stools helps students channel their energy more effectively, leading to increased concentration and engagement during lessons.\r\n\r\nEnhanced Posture: These stools promote active sitting, encouraging students to maintain better posture, which can reduce discomfort during long periods of sitting.\r\n\r\nEncouraged Collaboration: The flexible design of wobble stools allows students to easily move around and collaborate with their peers, fostering a more interactive and cooperative learning atmosphere.\r\n\r\nAccessibility for All Learners: Wobble stools cater to various learning styles and needs, accommodating students who may find traditional seating restrictive or uncomfortable.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made a significant difference in our classroom, and I have already observed an improvement in my students' enthusiasm and participation. Students are eagerly competing for the wobble stools because they are so popular and in high demand.
