My students are always moving from individual work to pairs and group work. Before the tennis balls, moving the desk would have been a hassle for the students and me. Moving the desks would cause scratches and black markings on the ground. To prevent this, we would have to lift the heavy desk. However, with the tennis balls covering the bottom legs of the chairs, the transition has become more seamless. \r\n\r\nThe tennis balls were a small change to the classroom, but had a large impact on efficiency. Now, when my students get into groups of pairs, all they need to do is simply glide the desks to their desired section. This has allowed transitioning to be easy and faster. \r\n\r\nThank you for taking the time and investment in my students and our classroom. The new addition to the desks has allowed my students to be in an effective and exciting learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1771514895234,"projectUrl":"project/smooth-student-collaboration/10103670/","projectTitle":"Smooth Student Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baniaga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10248380"},{"teacherId":5896051,"projectId":10106881,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students now have access to interactive tools and technology that have completely changed the way they experience math. Instead of simply watching examples, students are actively participating in geometry constructions, probability experiments, collaborative problem solving, and statistical analysis. The classroom has become more engaging, hands-on, and student-centered.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful additions has been the Bluetooth drawing tablet. Many donors are familiar with drawing tablets for art or design, but in a math classroom it allows instruction to become much more interactive and mobile. I can now move freely around the room while modeling problems, annotating examples live, and providing immediate feedback to students. This increased mobility has allowed me to spend more time working directly beside students instead of remaining at the front of the classroom. Students are more engaged because they can clearly follow each step of the problem-solving process in real time.\r\n\r\nStudents have been thoroughly engaged with the probability spinners, dice sets, and answer buzzers. Students love competing in review games and conducting hands-on probability experiments where they can immediately compare theoretical and experimental results. These activities have made probability concepts more meaningful and memorable while increasing participation from students who are often hesitant to speak up during traditional lessons.\r\n\r\nThe colored pens and graph sticky notes have also made a tremendous difference, especially for multilingual learners. Students are using color-coded notes to organize vocabulary, highlight key steps, and visually connect mathematical ideas. Several students who previously struggled to keep organized notes are now more confident participating in discussions and explaining their reasoning.\r\n\r\nI have a vision of seeing growth from students who will benefit from visual and hands-on learning as I continue to model the usage of the colored pens and patty paper. Some students who were previously quiet or reluctant to participate are now developing confidence in volunteering to solve problems and explain probability outcomes to demonstrate in small groups. The new tools have helped create a classroom environment where students feel more confident taking academic risks and collaborating with their peers.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting my students and investing in their learning. Your generosity has provided more than supplies — it has created opportunities for engagement, confidence, and meaningful mathematical learning experiences every day.","fullyFundedDate":1771649465118,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-geometry-statistics-probabil/10106881/","projectTitle":"Engaging Geometry, Statistics & Probability Through Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. WRICE","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5896051_orig.jpg?crop=1799,1799,x249,y461&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729028059861","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5896051"},{"teacherId":9750027,"projectId":10108144,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our grounds and gardens projects.

It has helped with classroom organization which, in turn, helps them with their clay projects. The paper towels help to dry their hands after cleaning themselves. The bins are organizational tools to keep the dry cloths and other tools. The laminator is a life saver with the making of signs that don't fray and bleed at the slightest touch of water. The sponges help the students on the wheel and the students love having access to spray bottles for their projects. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for the donations and we will be sure to continue to make more quality projects.","fullyFundedDate":1771526654600,"projectUrl":"project/ceramics-fun/10104705/","projectTitle":"Ceramics & Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Paulo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10343448"},{"teacherId":8071638,"projectId":10108985,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your generous donations to \"The Kinetic Chronicles\" project. The students truly became scientists as they designed and investigated their race cars, calculated velocity and acceleration, and connected their findings to Newton's Laws of Motion. They also stepped into the shoes of engineers, taking on the challenge of creating a device to demonstrate their understanding of the Law of Conservation of Energy.\r\n\r\nThanks to these resources, the students were able to be creative and innovative while building their race cars, roller coasters, ferris wheels, wind turbines, and solar cells. I witnessed firsthand how excited the students were to race their cars, and how elated they were to see their devices work—especially when they generated enough electricity with a wind turbine to light up an LED!\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I am excited to continue utilizing these projects for future generations of students as they explore the concepts of Energy, Forces, and Interactions. I also look forward to expanding our hands-on curriculum to explore new projects covering Waves and Electromagnetic Radiation, as well as the Properties of Matter and Chemical Reactions.","fullyFundedDate":1771710817252,"projectUrl":"project/the-kinetic-chronicles/10108985/","projectTitle":"The Kinetic Chronicles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bustamante","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8071638_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771482770864","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8071638"},{"teacherId":194918,"projectId":10107001,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my students.

They explored how Pop Artists used bright colors, repetition, popular imagery, and bold designs to make statements about society and culture. Students then applied those ideas to their own artwork by creating pieces inspired by things that are meaningful or recognizable to their generation, such as social media, video games, fashion brands, music, memes, snacks, and technology.\r\n One memorable classroom moment was seeing students become excited about turning everyday objects and interests into meaningful works of art. Several students who are usually quiet in class became very engaged once they realized they could incorporate their own personalities and interests into the project. The new materials allowed students to experiment more confidently with mixing colors, outlining, layering, and creating cleaner final designs. It was rewarding to watch students take creative risks and feel proud of producing artwork that truly represented them and modern culture.\r\n The students were extremely excited and grateful when they first saw the new materials. Many immediately started discussing ideas they wanted to try and were eager to begin sketching. Some students commented that having higher-quality supplies made them feel more motivated to put more effort into their work. The materials helped create a more professional and creative atmosphere in the classroom, and students were more willing to experiment with new techniques and artistic styles. Their enthusiasm and appreciation were evident from the moment the supplies arrived.\r\n The next steps for my students are to continue building on their understanding of artistic movements and personal expression through art. After completing this lesson, students will be placed in the community library to be on display for the school and community to look at. Moving forward, students will begin exploring other contemporary art styles and mixed media techniques while continuing to strengthen their creativity, problem-solving skills, and artistic confidence. The new materials will continue to support hands-on learning experiences that encourage students to express their identities, ideas, and perspectives through art.","fullyFundedDate":1771563468313,"projectUrl":"project/modern-day-pop-art/10103468/","projectTitle":"Modern Day Pop Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9103942_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740626785714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9103942"},{"teacherId":6972725,"projectId":10103503,"letterContent":"We are so incredibly grateful for your support!
