Trying to zoom and use the mouse to write on zoom was super challenging and ineffective. Students constantly complained that they could not understand my writing. Trying to use the zoom annotations and type was also difficult becuase the textboxes could not be moved to the location I wanted them to be.\r\n\r\nHaving the Wacom really changed the way I taught online. It was more efficient when I would share my screen and then be abled to take notes. It was exciting for my students to see that I was writing on the same materials as them and be able to follow easily and clearly. My students no longer complained that they could not read my writing and I was able to choose different colors.\r\n\r\nAgain thank you for your kind donation that made virtual learning more enjoyable!","fullyFundedDate":1590684352347,"projectUrl":"project/from-dining-room-to-virtual-classroom/4939246/","projectTitle":"From Dining Room to Virtual Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Medina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1212375"},{"teacherId":3874697,"projectId":9347727,"letterContent":"On behalf of my kindergarten through second grade special day class, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of our new kitchen set and store set. Your kindness has brought so much joy, learning, and excitement into our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with pure excitement. They immediately began talking about what they wanted to cook, what food they would \"sell,\" and how they could role play. Even now, each day they talk about how much they look forward to playing with the kitchen and store. It has quickly become the highlight of our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe sets are helping my students practice important social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, and working together. They are also learning how to play make-believe, which builds creativity and cooperation. I've noticed a wonderful change in motivation—students are more eager to complete their classwork because they know they'll have the opportunity to play afterward.\r\n\r\nWe're also beginning to incorporate the sets into our academic lessons. For example, as we practice letters and sounds, the students will use the play food to identify what letter each item starts with. This hands-on connection makes learning more engaging and meaningful for them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my students. Your generosity has made a lasting impact in our classroom, giving my students both joy and valuable learning opportunities every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1747274558655,"projectUrl":"project/recreational-therapy/9347727/","projectTitle":"Recreational Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valbuena","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3874697_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y58&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747077051348","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-breannevalbuena"},{"teacherId":8005367,"projectId":9125749,"letterContent":"On behalf of the entire kindergarten class, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous contribution toward our classroom project.
