A memorable moment was seeing students immediately put them on and notice how visible they were to cars and others around us. The reflective material and bright colors help us stay seen and safe, allowing students to focus on their training and enjoy running with more confidence.\r\n\r\nStudents were excited to use equipment that makes them feel safer and more prepared as athletes. Knowing they are more visible has made evening runs smoother and less stressful for everyone. As we continue training, these vests will support longer practices, build healthy routines, and allow students to stay active while maintaining safety during our runs.","fullyFundedDate":1762873874511,"projectUrl":"project/running-safe/9881755/","projectTitle":"Running Safe","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Santana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10164244"},{"teacherId":10164244,"projectId":9767537,"letterContent":"The watches have helped students better understand their running by connecting how they feel to real heart rate data. Students can now monitor their heart rate, reflect on their runs, and learn how to train safely and effectively. Many go to fast so the watches help them slow down.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is seeing their own data and making connections between numbers and how their bodies feel while running. This has helped them become more aware of their effort and progress. Several students are especially motivated by tracking their improvement over time and using the data to set personal fitness goals and build healthy habits.","fullyFundedDate":1762310924960,"projectUrl":"project/playing-with-sports-science/9767537/","projectTitle":"Playing with Sports Science","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Santana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10164244"},{"teacherId":10164244,"projectId":9756013,"letterContent":"Having a classroom printer has made a meaningful impact on daily instruction. I am now able to print materials quickly without leaving the room, which means more time focused on teaching and supporting students. When additional copies or corrections are needed, I can handle them immediately, keeping lessons running smoothly and ensuring every student has what they need to participate.\r\n\r\nStudents are happy to have clear and updated materials. There is less waiting and fewer interruptions, which helps maintain focus and momentum during class. This simple but powerful resource has reduced stress and allowed me to create a more organized, responsive learning environment where instruction can continue without delay.","fullyFundedDate":1758866629414,"projectUrl":"project/print-and-display/9756013/","projectTitle":"Print and Display","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Santana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10164244"},{"teacherId":10282502,"projectId":9761316,"letterContent":"On Behalf of our soccer players, we would like to thank you for your generous support.

The new basketballs, uniforms, and training tools have lifted team spirit and inspired the boys to work harder and dream bigger.

The space has quickly become a hub for small group sessions, social-emotional learning activities, and collaborative projects. It's a comfortable area where our diverse learners can regulate, connect with peers, and feel safe while engaging in academic or counseling support.\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was during a reading intervention group. A student who is usually hesitant to participate chose to sit on the couch with a classmate, and for the first time, volunteered to read aloud. The relaxed, home-like setting helped build confidence and fostered peer interaction in a way that our traditional classroom setup couldn't.","fullyFundedDate":1752764240380,"projectUrl":"project/support-a-safecalming-space-for-student/9254739/","projectTitle":"Support a Safe/Calming Space for Students With Unique Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moreira-Guana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5813741_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745217918750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5813741"},{"teacherId":9974206,"projectId":9564951,"letterContent":"Thank you for your contribution to my classroom so we could get dry-erase markers for the year. Now, mistakes are easy to erase, so students feel safer trying new strategies without the fear of being \"stuck\" with an error. This builds a growth mindset — mistakes become part of the process, not permanent. Using whiteboards or personal dry-erase boards turns students into active participants. Every student can solve and show work at the same time instead of just one at the board. I can scan boards and see who's on track or who needs help. Peer discussion is easy — students can hold up boards and compare solutions. Students can model equations, graph lines, or break down word problems in real time.

These iPads make learning interactive and visually appealing. Apps like Desmos, GeoGebra, and virtual manipulatives let students see math concepts in action (e.g., adjusting slope and intercept dynamically). Both the students and I can make visual feedback, making abstract ideas more concrete.\r\n\r\nI can make personalized lessons using adaptive learning apps (like IXL, Khan Academy, DreamBox) that adjust to a student's level, giving extra support if they're behind or challenges if they're ahead. Students can move at their own pace. Students can share work digitally with peers or teachers, collaborate on problem-solving apps, or annotate shared documents.

With the MacBook, students can seamlessly access Google Classroom, where I post interactive assignments, share resources, and provide instant feedback. Desmos Teacher Lessons have also become more impactful, allowing students to graph, model, and explore mathematical concepts in a hands-on, engaging way. These tools have turned abstract ideas into meaningful learning experiences that students can connect with inside and outside of the classroom.\r\n\r\nAirPods complement this by creating a clear and focused learning environment. Whether students are listening to video instructions, participating in virtual discussions, or using accessibility features like text-to-speech, the wireless audio ensures that they can engage without distraction. This personalized support has made lessons more inclusive, especially for students who benefit from focused listening or need additional language and accessibility tools.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources have given students a sense of independence and confidence in their learning. Students with learning differences or language barriers now feel supported and motivated, while all students enjoy the flexibility, convenience, and relevance of using modern technology.
