The new technology you helped provide has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nMany of you may use technology daily in your homes, but in schools, it serves as a powerful tool to open doors for learning. With this new resource, my students are not only consuming information—they are creating, collaborating, and thinking critically. It allows them to research more efficiently, present their ideas more creatively, and practice important skills in ways that feel interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the hands-on aspect of the technology. They love being able to take ownership of their learning—whether it's designing slideshows, recording presentations, or exploring interactive lessons that adjust to their pace. The sense of independence it gives them is energizing, and you can feel the excitement in the room when they use it.\r\n\r\nOne student who has especially thrived with this new tool is \\[insert name or \"a quiet student in our class\"]. This student had previously been hesitant to share ideas aloud, but with the technology, they've found confidence in creating and presenting digitally. Their voice is now reaching classmates in new and powerful ways. Moments like these show just how transformative your gift truly is.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for making their learning experience richer, more engaging, and more empowering. Your generosity is shaping their future in ways that go far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1583451064533,"projectUrl":"project/to-the-internet-and-beyond-education-in/4686381/","projectTitle":"To The Internet And Beyond: Education in the 21st Century","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3030181_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535583392894","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3030181"},{"teacherId":9792287,"projectId":9195840,"letterContent":"We're really excited about how the new technology is helping our students learn. The tablets, smartboards, and adaptive learning tools have made a big impact in creating a more personalized learning environment. For example, students who might struggle with traditional reading can use text-to-speech apps, or students who need extra help with math can access interactive tutorials that break concepts down in a way they can better understand. The ability to tailor lessons to each student's unique needs has been a game changer, especially in an inclusive classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things for our students is how interactive and hands-on the technology is. It allows them to engage with the material in ways that traditional methods couldn't. They love using digital tools for virtual field trips, creating art, or even building projects through coding apps. It's amazing to see how technology makes learning feel less like a chore and more like a fun adventure, sparking their curiosity and creativity.\r\n\r\nSome students have really thrived with the new technology, especially those who may not have been as engaged in a traditional classroom setting. For example, a student who struggles with writing can now use voice-to-text features, allowing them to express their thoughts more freely. Others who love creative tasks have really connected with digital art and interactive presentations, which has boosted their confidence and enthusiasm for school.\r\n\r\nThe new reading lounge space with the floor pillows, classroom rug, and tables has been the perfect complement to the technology. It's created a comfortable, welcoming environment where students can settle in and focus, whether they're reading on a tablet, working on a digital project, or collaborating with peers. The combination of these tools and the space has really helped create a more inclusive, engaging learning atmosphere for everyone.","fullyFundedDate":1746787052991,"projectUrl":"project/enhance-collaboration-creativity-commu/9195840/","projectTitle":"Enhance Collaboration, Creativity, Communication","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. James","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9792287_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736971622577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9792287"},{"teacherId":9792287,"projectId":9036116,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our classroom now has a warm, welcoming Inclusive Reading Lounge complete with a soft rug, colorful floor pillows, and three new tablets. This space has quickly become a favorite spot for students to relax, explore books, and engage in meaningful reading experiences.\r\n\r\nOne special moment that stood out was during our first \"Book & Buddy\" session. Students paired up, chose digital or print books, and spread out across the rug and pillows. Some read aloud to each other, while others used the tablets to access audio books and interactive stories. One student, who usually struggles to stay engaged during reading time, was completely absorbed in a story on the tablet and later asked to read again during recess!\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your kindness has created not just a space, but an experience that inspires a love for learning every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1740501231708,"projectUrl":"project/inclusive-classroom-lounge-for-students/9036116/","projectTitle":"Inclusive Classroom Lounge for Students to Enjoy Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. James","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9792287_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736971622577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9792287"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49342","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":311,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"5.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.5,"schoolId":49342,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kindezi School at Gideons on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kindezi School at Gideons","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/atlanta-public-schools/charles-l-gideons-elementary-school/49342"}
