They were overly excited to receive new items to engage them in their learning. Early exposure to STEM education ignites learners passion for subjects like engineering and robotics which could lead to more children interested in science and science related careers. Consistent engagement with the items purchased can be an integral part of cultivating a lifelong interest in STEM. I really appreciate the support you've given and the interest you have in helping educators receive the tools needed for success in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1763601682056,"projectUrl":"project/lets-steam-ahead/9905429/","projectTitle":"LET'S STEAM AHEAD!!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pollard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7326662_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x267,y361&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594954031139","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pollard-augusta"},{"teacherId":7326662,"projectId":10463606,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations that helped me to provide support for my students.\r\nThe small group table fits perfectly in my room and is a great asset with helping me to assist my students in small groups.

Your generosity means my virtual kindergarteners will have the dry‑erase pockets and markers they need to practice handwriting from home, and the drawing tablet will allow me to model proper letter and number formation clearly during online lessons. These tools will make a real difference for students who don't always have access to basic learning materials. I'm truly grateful for your kindness and belief in my classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen our school year began, many of my students were eager to learn but lacked the hands‑on materials that make early literacy development possible. Handwriting is a foundational skill in kindergarten, yet it is also one of the most challenging to teach virtually. Before this project was funded, I often found myself holding paper up to the camera or trying to draw letters with a mouse, which made it difficult for students to see proper strokes and directionality. The drawing tablet you provided has transformed that experience. Now I can model each letter in real time with smooth, clear lines, and students can follow along with confidence. They frequently tell me, \"I can see it better now!\" and that clarity has made a noticeable difference in their accuracy and motivation.\r\n\r\nThe dry‑erase pockets and markers have been equally impactful. Many of my students do not have access to printers or stacks of paper at home, so reusable materials are essential. With these pockets, students can practice writing again and again without worrying about running out of supplies. They love choosing their marker colors, tracing letters, and holding their work up proudly to the camera. Several students who were initially hesitant writers now participate enthusiastically because the materials feel fun, accessible, and \"just like real school.\" One student who struggled with fine‑motor control has made remarkable progress; the smooth surface of the pockets allows him to erase easily and try again without frustration, and he now volunteers to demonstrate his writing during lessons.\r\n\r\nThis project has also strengthened our sense of classroom community. Even though we are physically apart, having matching materials helps students feel connected. When I say, \"Everyone get your dry‑erase pocket ready,\" they light up knowing they all have the same tools. It has created a shared learning experience that feels joyful and unified, something that can be hard to achieve in a virtual environment.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I have been able to teach handwriting more effectively, provide equitable access to learning tools, and help my students build confidence in their early literacy skills. You have given them the chance to practice, explore, and grow in ways that would not have been possible otherwise. Thank you for believing in my students and for investing in their success. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on their learning and on our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1597106488336,"projectUrl":"project/penmanship-tiger-style/5084399/","projectTitle":"Penmanship, Tiger Style","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ruff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2675610_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1568860154833","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/helpruffplease"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122892","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":686,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":85,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.5,"schoolId":122892,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wheeless Road Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wheeless Road Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/richmond-county-school-system/wheeless-road-elementary-school/122892"}
