Indeed, this electric piano has become a powerful learning tool that helps students express themselves, regulate their emotions, and build confidence. Students use it during break time, lunch time and even after school to practice music, explore melodies, and take a positive mental break before returning to academic work with better focus. It has also helped create a warmer classroom environment where students feel safe, welcomed, and excited to come in.\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is that they can actually touch, play, and experiment with the instrument instead of only listening to music from a device. Some students immediately wanted to try songs they already knew, while others began exploring notes and sounds even though they had never played piano before. I have especially noticed quieter students warming up to the piano; students who may not always speak up in class have shown confidence by playing a few notes, asking questions, or sharing music with classmates. \r\nAbviously, this project has given my students more than an instrument, it has given them a new way to connect, create, and feel joy at school.

The granola bars and snacks have made an immediate difference in my classroom. Almost every day, students come to me quietly asking for a granola bar because they did not get a chance to eat during lunch, need extra nutrition, or simply do not want to stand in a long lunch line during the hot weather. Having these snacks available has allowed me to support students in a simple but meaningful way. Moreover, before a test, several students asked if they could have a snack first because they felt it would help them think better and have more energy. It reminded me that learning is not just about lessons and assignments, students also need to feel physically ready to focus.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the snacks, they were genuinely excited and grateful. Some students smiled and said, \"You have granola bars now?\" and others asked if they could take one for later in the day. I could tell that this project helped students feel cared for, not just academically, but as whole people. The snacks have become a quiet support system in our classroom. Students know they can grab something when they are hungry, and then return to classwork with more focus and less stress. This has been especially helpful during math lessons and tests, when students need energy, patience, and clear thinking.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue building a classroom where students feel supported and ready to learn. In Algebra 1 and AP Calculus BC, students are working through challenging concepts that require concentration, problem-solving, and perseverance. With these snacks available, students can better engage in lessons, participate in discussions, complete group work, and prepare for assessments without hunger becoming an extra barrier. Thank you so much for helping me create a classroom environment where students feel seen, supported, and nourished throughout the school day.","fullyFundedDate":1779661704947,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-focus-snacks-for-student-succes/10216837/","projectTitle":"Fueling Focus: Snacks for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Le","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8931761_orig.jpg?crop=700,700,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674286046742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8931761"},{"teacherId":1543810,"projectId":10406083,"letterContent":"As an educator, continuous learning is essential to keeping instruction engaging.

In Algebra 1, I use it daily with the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum to annotate directly onto lesson slides, model student thinking in real time, and visually break down multi-step problems. Instead of students trying to copy notes as quickly as possible, they can focus more on understanding the discussion and engaging with the math concepts. At the end of class, I can instantly share organized notes and annotated examples with students, which has been especially helpful for students who need extra processing time, are absent, or benefit from visual supports.\r\n\r\nIn AP Calculus BC, the iPad has transformed the way I teach complex concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals. I can write naturally during lectures while projecting my screen, almost like an interactive digital whiteboard. Students love being able to clearly see each step unfold in real time, and many have shared that the digital notes help them review more effectively outside of class. Some lessons have also become much more interactive because students can come up and draw graphs, sketch tangent lines, or demonstrate solutions directly on the iPad during discussions. This has increased participation and confidence, especially among students who are usually quieter in class but feel more comfortable engaging visually.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for students has been how much more dynamic and interactive lessons feel. The iPad allows us to quickly switch between graphing apps, handwritten notes, visuals, and student work samples seamlessly during instruction. Students who often struggled to stay engaged during traditional lectures have become more involved because lessons now feel more collaborative and visual. I've especially noticed growth from students who are visual learners and English learners, since the ability to annotate, color-code, zoom in on graphs, and revisit shared notes later has made math feel more accessible and less intimidating.\r\nThank you again for your great support to make all these happen! :)","fullyFundedDate":1757957123344,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-student-success-with-interact/9699651/","projectTitle":"Supporting Student Success with Interactive Math Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Le","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8931761_orig.jpg?crop=700,700,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674286046742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8931761"},{"teacherId":1543810,"projectId":10235494,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our seniors finally had their moment and it was everything we hoped it would be.\r\n\r\nDuring an extended advisory period, students took to the quad armed with chalk and pure joy.

For many of them, this was the first time they'd celebrated their achievement out loud, in public, surrounded by the people who walked this journey with them.

No restless shifting, no notebooks being used as fans. No heads down. Just students engaged in the hard, rewarding work they're capable of when their environment supports them.\r\n\r\nWe're heading into the final stretch of the school year which usually requires cognitively demanding work.
