My students were so excited when they first saw the new materials. Smiles lit up the room as they explored everything that had been generously provided for them. They immediately began using the supplies to work on class projects, socialize with their peers, and create lasting memories together. Whether it was using colorful markers during group activities or organizing their work with new folders and notebooks, these tools helped foster both independence and collaboration in the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful parts of this project has been seeing my students connect with each other. The new resources gave them the chance to share, work together, and enjoy learning in a fun and welcoming environment. Many of the items are being reused for future activities, helping to extend the life and joy of your gift beyond the first day. We are currently preparing for our next group project where students will use these materials to create posters and visual aids to present what they have learned. Your support did not just provide school supplies. It created opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. Thank you for making such a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1744649891314,"projectUrl":"project/circle-of-friends-club/9254477/","projectTitle":"Circle of Friends Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smail","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9998278_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744494913253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9998278"},{"teacherId":9906268,"projectId":9078362,"letterContent":"Scientific calculators have been a game-changer in helping my middle school students learn math. They allow students to focus on problem-solving and understanding concepts rather than getting stuck on long calculations. With features like fraction simplification, square roots, and exponents, students can explore more advanced topics with confidence. This technology also helps reinforce the importance of order of operations and allows for quick error-checking, which builds their independence and accuracy. \r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is how much faster and easier it is to test out different strategies and check their answers. Instead of spending too much time on basic computations, they can analyze patterns, explore real-world applications, and deepen their understanding of algebraic reasoning. For many, using a scientific calculator makes math feel more approachable and less intimidating. \r\n\r\nSome students who previously struggled with math have especially warmed up to using scientific calculators. One student, in particular, used to get frustrated with long division and exponents, but now that they can use the calculator to check their steps, they feel much more confident participating in class. It has also helped students with processing difficulties stay engaged, as they no longer get stuck on tedious calculations and can focus on understanding the bigger picture. Overall, scientific calculators have made math more accessible and enjoyable for all my students.","fullyFundedDate":1737783544683,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-through-technology/9078362/","projectTitle":"\"Empowering Students Through Technology: Scientific Calculators for Enhanced Math Learning\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Romo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9906268"},{"teacherId":8495537,"projectId":8733297,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of school reward supplies, including stickers, snacks, and candy, as well as whiteboard erasers, organizing cubbies for headphones, and teacher supplies for classroom activities.
