As they were exploring, students were able to the identify the different shapes in both English and Spanish. Their new word was parallelogram. I'm excited to bring them out again this coming week as we explore how a combination of shapes can form another. For now, students formed their creation with them and duplicated their image with paper shaped tangrams. Thank you for providing these amazing tools for my students.

From the very first day, their faces lit up with excitement when they realized they would be able to explore lessons, practice skills, and create projects using this incredible tool.\r\n\r\nStudents who once struggled with reading are now practicing fluency with interactive apps that read aloud and give them instant feedback. Others who love math are challenging themselves with problem-solving games that make learning fun. One student told me, \"It feels like the iPad is teaching just me!\" That sense of personalized attention has made a big difference for many of them.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has also given students the chance to be creators, not just learners. They record themselves explaining what they've learned, create digital art, and even share short videos about classroom topics. When they get to show their work to the class, the pride on their faces is unforgettable.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has done more than provide technology—it has given my students confidence, joy in learning, and opportunities that will stick with them long after this school year. From all of us, thank you for believing in our classroom and helping us dream bigger.","fullyFundedDate":1741984223866,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-minds-with-an-ipad/9128409/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Minds With an iPad!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Christopher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9272834_orig.jpg?crop=999,999,x249,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701977472018","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9272834"},{"teacherId":426222,"projectId":9607075,"letterContent":"This year, I have 1 Pre-K, 3 TK classrooms, and K-5th grades.

Everyone understands that these are not toys, but serious reading companions. A student shared with me that he didn't want to find a book to check because he didn't know how to read and was embarrassed to buddy up with one of his classmates. I asked him to find a reading buddy and choose a picture book. Before long, he was talking to his buddy.

Because there are so many components to this kind of writing, it can be overwhelming for any student, especially mine. Having students create their object or person that they will include in their writing will help to keep them focused. Without any guard rails, a student may begin their story with, for example, I got up in the morning, got dressed, ate, then went to school and on and on. What I am supporting students is to write about a specific event or time. Using playdough helps my students focus. One student created a peppa pig using a popsicle stick and the pink playdough.
