The pickleballs and paddles immediately increased student participation and enthusiasm in class. Students who are sometimes hesitant to join traditional sports activities became excited and confident while learning pickleball skills and gameplay.\r\n\r\nThe equipment has helped create a positive and active learning environment where students are developing teamwork, communication, coordination, and sportsmanship. Because pickleball is easy to learn and accessible to students of different skill levels, every student has been able to experience success and stay actively involved during class.\r\n\r\nBeyond physical activity, this project has encouraged students to build confidence, support one another, and discover a lifelong recreational sport they can continue to play outside of school. Having quality equipment available has made our PE program more engaging, equitable, and memorable for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1778877028982,"projectUrl":"project/pickleball-paddles-balls-for-pe/10134895/","projectTitle":"Pickleball Paddles & Balls for PE","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Amos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10416218"},{"teacherId":10404924,"projectId":10290763,"letterContent":"This Smartboard completely transforms the way students engage with math in our classroom. Instead of passively copying notes from the board, students can now actively participate in lessons by solving problems, manipulate graphs, and collaborate in real time. Concepts that can feel abstract in middle school math- like linear relationships, systems of equations, and transformations- can become much more visual and interactive, helping students build deeper understanding and confidence.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the Smartboard can create a more energetic and collaborative classroom environment. Students are more engaged, discussions are more meaningful, and learning feels more dynamic and accessible. This technology has helped bring our classroom into a more modern learning environment and has given students tools that better prepare them for high school and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1779304958895,"projectUrl":"project/bring-interactive-learning-to-our-math-c/10290763/","projectTitle":"Bring Interactive Learning to Our Math Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10404924"},{"teacherId":10413525,"projectId":10045083,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping me create a more welcoming and healing health office.

The roller coaster engineering kit quickly became a class favorite, and students were highly engaged as they designed tracks, tested different heights and slopes, and observed how changes affected speed and motion. During one lesson, students worked together to adjust their roller coaster designs after their first attempts failed, and they celebrated when they successfully created a track that carried the ball through the entire course. The slime and polymer activities were equally engaging, giving students the opportunity to explore chemistry concepts through fun hands-on experiments while describing textures, reactions, and changes they observed.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped make science more interactive, accessible, and meaningful for my students. Many of my students learn best through direct, hands-on experiences, and these materials allowed them to actively participate in lessons rather than only observe demonstrations. Students were especially excited when they first saw the materials because they knew they would be able to build, experiment, and test ideas themselves. The classroom vacuum has also helped us efficiently clean up after labs and activities so we can maintain a safe, organized learning environment and maximize instructional time.\r\n\r\nAs we continue using these materials, students are beginning to make more predictions before testing designs and experiments, compare results, and explain why certain outcomes occur. Our next steps include expanding our STEM activities by having students modify roller coaster structures to test how changes impact motion and continue exploring material properties and reactions through additional polymer experiments. These experiences are helping students strengthen critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills while making science concepts more concrete and engaging.","fullyFundedDate":1768268350699,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-science-in-action-from-slime-t/9966730/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Science in Action: From Slime to Speed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10342550"},{"teacherId":10342550,"projectId":9966727,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, Tuning into Literacy: Sensory Sanctuaries.

Instead of only listening to a story or looking at words on a page, they are now able to use props, sequencing materials, and visual supports to identify characters, settings, and important events. During one lesson, students were able to physically move story pieces into order and match them to parts of the text. This helped them stay engaged, communicate their answers, and show comprehension in ways that traditional paper-and-pencil tasks do not always allow.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were excited and immediately curious. Some reached for the tactile pieces, some pointed to visuals, and others began making connections to the story before the lesson even fully began. For my students, that reaction is meaningful because engagement is often the first step toward communication. The materials gave them a reason to participate, respond, and interact with literacy in a way that felt accessible and successful.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, my students are beginning to experience stories as something they can touch, build, retell, and understand. Our next steps are to continue using these materials during structured reading lessons so students can practice sequencing, answering who/what/where questions, identifying story elements, and retelling events with increasing independence. Your support has helped bring storytelling to life in our classroom and has given my students more ways to show what they know.","fullyFundedDate":1766692005687,"projectUrl":"project/step-inside-the-story-3d-literacy-for-a/9966765/","projectTitle":"Step Inside the Story: 3D Literacy for ASD","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10342550"},{"teacherId":4300266,"projectId":10037389,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project!
