The toner has allowed me to provide every student with clear, high-quality printed resources—practice problem sets, coding guides, review packets, and assessments—so no one falls behind because they lack materials. Having these resources in hand helps my students stay organized, engage more deeply with lessons, and practice skills at their own pace. Printed coding examples and walkthroughs have also made complex computer science concepts feel more approachable, especially for students who are still building confidence.\r\n\r\nThe wireless keyboard has been an unexpected game-changer. It allows me to move freely around the room, model code from anywhere, and guide students more interactively. My students love seeing code \"come to life\" in real time, and the flexibility of the setup has made demonstrations clearer and more engaging. They often tell me it feels like a college-level or professional environment now, which motivates them to take their work even more seriously.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were previously shy about asking questions—or hesitant to share their screens—have flourished with this upgraded setup. One student who struggled with syntax errors now eagerly volunteers during live coding because she can follow along more closely with the printed guides and ask questions immediately as she sees the code projected. Another student has become a classroom leader, helping peers debug using the shared printed references. Your support has created a more inclusive, confident, and collaborative learning space, and my students and I are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759775474480,"projectUrl":"project/from-classroom-pages-to-digital-stages/9750866/","projectTitle":"From Classroom Pages to Digital Stages!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quintela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10003657"},{"teacherId":10003657,"projectId":9724315,"letterContent":"When my students first saw the new scientific calculators, they were so relieved and excited. Many of them did not have their own, and now everyone has equal access to the same reliable tool for problem-solving. The TI-30XIIS calculators have already been put to use in our daily lessons, from simplifying complex expressions in AP Precalculus to reinforcing the foundations needed for AP Computer Science A. Having a full set ensures that no student falls behind because of a lack of resources, and it creates an environment where everyone can fully participate and focus on learning.\r\n\r\nThe Barron's AP Computer Science A prep books have also been an incredible addition. My students are already diving into the practice tests, and it has given them a sense of confidence as they prepare for their upcoming AP exam. The books allow us to go beyond the classroom textbook, giving students the chance to practice independently and strengthen their understanding of coding concepts. The ergonomic chair has been a huge help for me as a teacher—having a comfortable and supportive seat makes long hours of lesson planning and grading much more manageable, which directly benefits my students as I am able to bring more energy and focus to the classroom each day.\r\n\r\nThe snacks and bandages may seem like small things, but they've created a big impact as well. Students appreciate having a quick snack during long study sessions or after school reviews, which helps them stay energized and focused. The bandages have been useful for the everyday bumps and scrapes that happen in a busy classroom. All of these resources together have made our classroom a more supportive, engaging, and welcoming space. Thanks to your generosity, my students are better equipped for success in their math and computer science journeys, and they feel supported not just academically, but as whole individuals.","fullyFundedDate":1758670368511,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9724315/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quintela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10003657"},{"teacherId":10003657,"projectId":9717552,"letterContent":"When my students and I received the new set of classroom supplies, the excitement was immediate. Something as simple as fresh EXPO markers and microfiber cloths has already made a huge difference in how we work through lessons together. Students love coming up to the board to solve problems, and now they can do so with bright, clear markers and a clean surface every time. The Clorox wipes have also helped us keep our learning space healthy and organized, which makes everyone feel more comfortable and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe other resources have been just as impactful. The power strip tower has allowed students to keep their devices charged during group work and coding projects, which helps keep the focus on collaboration instead of worrying about low batteries. The presentation clicker has made it much easier for me to move around the room while presenting lessons, giving me the chance to interact more with students instead of being tied to the computer. These small changes in classroom flow have made a big difference in creating an engaging, interactive learning environment.\r\n\r\nMy students were especially excited the first time we used the clicker during a lesson—it felt like a \"real\" presentation, and they loved how it made our classroom feel more professional and connected. As we move forward in our AP Precalculus and AP Computer Science classes, these resources will continue to support collaborative projects, hands-on problem solving, and interactive lessons. Thanks to your generosity, my students not only have the tools they need to succeed, but also a classroom environment that feels organized, energized, and ready for deeper learning.","fullyFundedDate":1758125051888,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-materials/9717552/","projectTitle":"Classroom Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quintela","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10003657"},{"teacherId":10003657,"projectId":9709830,"letterContent":"Our new set of TI-84 CE Plus graphing calculators has completely transformed the way my students learn and engage with mathematics. Before this project, many of my students had to share calculators or rely on outdated models, which made it difficult for everyone to explore concepts at the same pace. Now, each student has access to the same technology, and this has leveled the playing field. They are able to visualize graphs, run statistical tests, and explore real-world applications in a way that brings math alive. What was once an abstract formula on the board is now something they can see and manipulate in real time.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been using the calculators for graphing functions and analyzing data sets. Many of them are amazed to see how quickly the calculator can model real-life situations, such as predicting trends or interpreting statistics. It's rewarding to hear students exclaim \"Oh, I get it now!\" when they see a graph appear instantly or check their work step by step. Several students who were previously hesitant in math class have gained confidence because the technology helps them test ideas, learn from mistakes, and discover solutions independently.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who used to feel overwhelmed by complex equations, has started to embrace challenges with enthusiasm. With the TI-84 CE Plus, she can check her thinking visually and explore multiple approaches, which has boosted her confidence.
