I have received all the items and my students were excited when they saw the mobile whiteboards. They were \"fighting\" to use the boards, new pens, and erasers. Seeing new things in the room made more students want to go and do their small group presentations just to be the first ones to use the supplies.\r\nImpact on student engagement has increased and I know it takes time for students to retain new information but I know that if they continue working together, talking with each other, and thinking through their mathematical thinking, they will make gains in their understanding. It is exciting to see students return from our fall break energized in continuing their focus presentations and work on new math problems. Students have shown they are more willing to try \"hard\" through the presentations at the end of quarter 1. With the new items, they are trying to get to the board first.\r\nNext steps, I will try to get ALL students to be actively engaged. More students are engaged and willing to work through problems but I still have quite a few students who are reluctant in sharing their thoughts.

The nearest water fountain and fill-up station is several buildings away as we are seperated from the rest of campus due to the industrial (and loud) nature of the activities that we are learning and practicing. Further, working in the shop is dramatically more comfortable with the help of the new cooling fans.

These games help shy students become active conversation participants and fast friends. Things like games (that are not traditional school supplies) can be out of reach without the assistance of people like you due to restrictions on purchasing, and that's not even considering that our schools don't even have the budget to pay for simple repairs or school supplies in the first place.

Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in the way my students learn, explore, and engage with our lessons.\r\n\r\nWe are already putting our new resources to use in our classroom. One special moment was when my students first saw the materials and immediately wanted to explore them. Their excitement and curiosity were contagious! Instead of simply reading or listening, they were able to interact with the materials, work together, ask questions, and make connections to what we were learning.\r\n\r\nDuring our current classroom project, students are using these resources to deepen their understanding of the lesson and apply what they have learned in a hands-on way. I have loved watching them collaborate, share ideas, and become more confident as they work through challenges together.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building on this learning. Students will use what they have discovered to complete their project, share their thinking with classmates, and reflect on what they learned.

When the new guitar rack arrived and we set it up, the students' reaction was wonderful. They immediately noticed how much better the instruments looked now that they are neatly lined up and easy to see. We placed the rack right on top of the countertop in the back of the room, and it fits so perfectly that it looks as though it was meant to go there all along. It has truly transformed the organization and professional feel of our music space.\r\n\r\nThe daily impact on our routine has been significant. Before your donation, our steel-string guitars were left leaning haphazardly on random tables, which was always a safety concern in a busy classroom. Now, students who want to practice their steel-string playing can quickly and safely select an instrument. Most importantly, it has given the guitars a proper \"home.\" When class is over or practice ends, students know exactly where the instruments belong, making it easy to ensure each guitar is safely stored away.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, this beautiful new storage solution has inspired the next steps for our guitar ensemble. Currently, we only have four steel-string guitars for student use, which leaves some inviting open space on our new rack. Our future goal is to acquire more steel-string guitars to fill those remaining slots so even more students can explore this style of playing at the same time. Youhave given us the perfect foundation to grow our program safely, and we're incredibly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1787320576191,"projectUrl":"project/homeless-guitars-need-a-rack-to-survive/10486255/","projectTitle":"Homeless Guitars Need a Rack to Survive","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ezell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3042587_orig.jpg?crop=810,810,x0,y108&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704669063139","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3042587"},{"teacherId":8507014,"projectId":10348450,"letterContent":"Mahalo for supporting our Care Station!\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students no longer struggle through lessons on an empty stomach or feel self-conscious about basic hygiene needs.

During our recent force and motion unit, students used their binders to actively track their learning—organizing multi-step lab data, inserting peer feedback notes, and updating their reflection logs after collaborative group discussions. One incredible moment happened during a lesson on distance versus displacement: instead of just listening to a lecture, students pulled out their organized tracking sheets, traded binders with a partner for peer assessment, and used their evidence to debate different motion paths. Seeing them hold each other accountable using their own organized evidence proved that they are truly running the classroom.\r\nWhen the shipment arrived, the atmosphere in our classroom was filled with genuine excitement! My students were thrilled to see that these weren't just standard, boring folders, but real tools designed for a dynamic interactive system. Their eyes lit up when they realized they were getting dedicated supplies to organize, customize, and lead their own work. One student summed up the room's energy perfectly, saying, \"We actually look and feel like real scientists now!\" It gave them an immediate boost of pride and responsibility.\r\nWith our binder system fully up and running, my students are stepping directly into student-led facilitation for our upcoming unit. Their next major step is to use these binders as living portfolios during student-led discussions, where they will present their own scientific inquiry, evaluate vector diagrams, and justify their reasoning to their peers. These binders will continue to serve as the launchpad for their growth, helping them reflect on where they started and showcase how far they've come as confident, independent thinkers.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the supplies they needed to take charge of their education and realize that their voices truly matter!","fullyFundedDate":1789058277945,"projectUrl":"project/binders-for-finders/10548936/","projectTitle":"Binders for Finders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9248321_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y540&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704917488055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9248321"},{"teacherId":2446469,"projectId":10347456,"letterContent":"My students were excited when they first saw the seeds and learned they would be using them for a hands-on project that gives back to our community.
