Your manipulatives, scaffolds, and activities enable our students to build and strengthen their mathematical understanding across all three stages.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students have strengthened their ability to think more flexibly about numbers, as demonstrated through the \"I Sea 10\" game and the Fractions Center activity. These tools have also helped them make abstract concepts more concrete, as seen through the whiteboards and scaffolds you provided.\r\n\r\nIn particular, your games and activities supporting fractions instruction have been invaluable. Fraction War makes learning equivalent fractions engaging and fun, while the Fraction Center activity helps students see and understand how different fractional parts can equal the same amount.\r\n\r\nThese activities make a meaningful difference for our students and our entire community. Best of all, they make learning more accessible and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and support!

They have also been made available to students with varying needs, allowing them to time tasks, or take them with them on quick resetting walks outside of the classroom to help them relax and reset to be successful during learning time.","fullyFundedDate":1782687402480,"projectUrl":"project/taking-our-time/10344722/","projectTitle":"Taking Our Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burgos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10534709_orig.jpg?crop=773,774,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781819016772","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10534709"},{"teacherId":3027110,"projectId":10265966,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations towards my project.....Ready, Set, Go!
