These tools have fostered collaboration, critical thinking, and a renewed enthusiasm for academic excellence.\r\nThe whiteboards have become a centerpiece for cooperative learning. By using them during group activities, students have engaged in meaningful discussions and problem-solving together. Working on a shared surface encourages teamwork, where every voice is valued, and students contribute their unique perspectives. \r\nThe interactive nature of the whiteboards has also enhanced students' critical thinking as the boards provide a space for students to visualize their thoughts and refine their ideas. The ability to easily erase and adjust their work fosters a growth mindset, teaching students to embrace trial and error as part of the learning process.\r\nMost importantly, the whiteboards have elevated academic performance by making lessons more dynamic and engaging. \r\nFrom the moment my students first began using the whiteboards, they were hooked. They inquire daily about using the whiteboards and have even shared with other teachers how much they love using them. From analyzing poetry, diagramming sentences, and reinforcing vocabulary through dynamic stories, I have seen an increase in test scores and participation.\r\n\r\nThank you again for providing such a valuable resource. The impact on my classroom has been profound, and I am deeply appreciative of the investment you have made in my students' success. As I continue to grow as a teacher I have no doubt I will find even more ways to incorporate these whiteboards into new lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1727109991012,"projectUrl":"project/building-thinkers/8725563/","projectTitle":"Building Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodenkirch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9099361_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690574786044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9099361"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126438","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":949,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 10","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.8,"schoolId":126438,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cornerstone Classical Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cornerstone Classical Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/duval-county-public-schools/cornerstone-classical-academy/126438"}
