While many donors use tablets at home, seeing them in school shows just how versatile they can be. Our students use the iPad as a kiosk for bathroom passes and other routine school passes, which gives them a sense of independence and responsibility. It's not just a tool for convenience—it's teaching time management, accountability, and problem-solving in a very practical way.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is being trusted with this responsibility. They enjoy checking in their peers, tracking passes, and making sure the system runs smoothly. Using the Apple Pencil makes interacting with the iPad more natural and precise, so even younger students can confidently log and manage passes without help. It has turned a simple classroom routine into an opportunity for leadership and skill-building.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially thrived in this role. One student who is normally shy now takes pride in helping classmates and managing the kiosk efficiently, while another has developed stronger organizational skills through daily use of the system. Your generosity has given students more than a device—it has created a space for them to take ownership, build confidence, and actively contribute to the smooth running of our classroom and school.","fullyFundedDate":1763557500423,"projectUrl":"project/the-ipad-effect/9801894/","projectTitle":"The iPad Effect","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vigil","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5102577_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1526267613241","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5102577"},{"teacherId":9525997,"projectId":9475384,"letterContent":"The materials you helped me purchase have improved my students' mood and developed their compassion.

The snacks you provided have not only helped fuel our bodies but also our minds—giving students the energy and focus they need to stay engaged and ready to learn throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe moment the snacks arrived, my students were thrilled. Many of them asked, \"Are these really for us?\"—they were so surprised and grateful. It was heartwarming to see how something as simple as a healthy snack could bring such joy and comfort. One student even said, \"This helps me not feel hungry during math,\" and it's been clear that having access to snacks helps improve both concentration and mood, especially during longer learning blocks.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these snacks continue to support our classroom routines, especially during morning work and independent learning times. Students know they have something to count on when they're feeling hungry, and that small act of care creates a big ripple of positivity.

A special thank-you to Ripple for making this project possible—your support has truly transformed our learning space!\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, the students were buzzing with excitement! They couldn't believe we had our own LCD writing tablets—many began doodling, solving math problems, and practicing spelling right away. One student said, \"This is like magic paper!\" The charging station also made a big difference—no more searching for outlets or losing learning time due to dead devices.\r\n\r\nWe've also put the adjustable sit/stand desk to great use during small group instruction and student presentations. It gives us the flexibility to teach and learn in ways that keep everyone engaged. The door file organizer now holds our daily warm-ups and exit tickets, making transitions smooth and independent.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using the LCD tablets as part of a math fluency challenge where students can race against the clock to solve problems and then erase and try again. It's a fun and eco-friendly way to practice skills without wasting paper.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom is more interactive, efficient, and student-centered.

Because of your generosity, we were able to bring new technology and tools into our classroom that are already having a powerful impact on how students learn, focus, and engage.\r\n\r\nMany of you may use technology in your homes or workplaces, but the way we use it in the classroom is a little different. It's not just about convenience—it's about creating opportunities to support learning in ways that are interactive, structured, and engaging.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting additions has been the JBL Flip 6 Bluetooth speaker. While it may seem like just a way to play music, for our students, it's so much more. We use it during classroom transitions, calm music during independent work, and even audio-based learning activities. It sets a tone—literally—that helps with focus, motivation, and emotional regulation. One student told me, \"When we play the music during writing, it helps me think better. It's like my brain can relax.\"\r\n\r\nAnother game-changer has been the TXL large digital wall clock. It's a simple piece of technology, but it's had a big effect. The large, clear display helps students with time management and independence—especially during group work and timed tasks. Some of my students who struggle with executive functioning now feel more confident pacing themselves.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who often feels overwhelmed by the pace of class, has really taken to both tools. With the calm music playing and the ability to track time visually, they've become noticeably more focused and self-assured during lessons. It's been incredible to see them settle into routines with less anxiety and more ownership of their work.\r\n\r\nThis project has also brought energy and comfort into our space—something that's often overlooked but deeply felt. The combination of practical tools and thoughtful enhancements (like the anti-fatigue mat, scented oil refills, and upgraded supplies) has made our classroom a more supportive, welcoming environment.\r\n\r\nYour donation hasn't just given us \"things\"—you've given us the tools to learn better, feel better, and do better.

One student said, \"Wow, we have our own first aid kit? That's so cool!\" Another added, \"Now we don't have to worry if someone forgets tissues!\" It may seem small, but to them, these items represent care, comfort, and a sense of safety.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped us maintain a cleaner, healthier classroom. The tissues and hand sanitizer have been especially helpful during cold season—students are much more conscious about staying healthy and sharing responsibility for our space. And having a first aid kit on hand has been a game-changer for handling small scrapes or bumps quickly and calmly, without disrupting learning.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stood out: A student got a small paper cut during an art activity, and instead of panicking, she calmly said, \"It's okay—we have the kit!\" It gave her a sense of independence and reassured the whole class.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're continuing to focus on building a classroom environment where students feel safe and supported, and your contribution plays a big part in that.

It allows for more precise demonstration of problem-solving strategies, which has helped visual learners tremendously. Students also love the colored pencils and sticky notes for peer teaching and organizing their work during projects like data displays and geometry tasks. The laminator and thermal pouches have been amazing for creating reusable math station materials and anchor charts. Even small touches—like the number line bulletin border on our wall or the mechanical pencils—have helped create a space where students feel supported and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we move into more complex topics like multi-step equations and data analysis, these supplies will continue to support our learning goals.
