They were immediately drawn to the idea of standing up, grabbing markers, and working together to solve problems. The excitement in the room was contagious. Students were discussing strategies, revising their work, and encouraging one another to think deeper. It was amazing to see their confidence grow as they realized how much they could learn from their peers.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the whiteboard and organized baskets daily as part of our Building Thinking Classrooms model. Each group has their own space to collaborate, show their thinking, and communicate their reasoning. The vertical working spaces have completely changed our classroom dynamic, students are more engaged, conversations are richer, and even those who were hesitant to share before are now excited to contribute ideas.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue applying this collaborative approach to more complex problem-solving tasks. I'm already seeing students take ownership of their learning, using mathematical vocabulary naturally and helping each other persevere through challenges. Your generosity has created a classroom where students aren't just learning math, they're thinking mathematically, together. Thank you for making that possible!","fullyFundedDate":1757901146203,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-and-wonder-creating-a-th/9628574/","projectTitle":"Write, Wipe, and Wonder...

Your donation of essential items like hole punchers, power strips, tissue and paper towel wall holders, and adhesive hooks is already making a noticeable difference in our daily routines and the overall atmosphere of our learning space.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using several of these items, and they've already improved our workflow and classroom functionality. The hole punchers have become a staple tool for students, helping them keep their papers neat and organized in binders — a small but powerful step in promoting responsibility and independence. The power strips are especially helpful during after-school clubs and collaborative group projects, making it easier for students to use laptops, charge devices, and plug in materials needed for hands-on activities. The wall-mounted tissue and paper towel holders are helping us maintain a cleaner and more accessible space, minimizing mess and maximizing efficiency.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to install and incorporate the remaining supplies, like the adhesive hooks, we are excited about the potential they hold for further streamlining our classroom setup. These small organizational tools are helping us make the most of our space, allowing students and staff to move through the day with fewer distractions and more focus on learning, creating, and growing together.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is more than just practical — it's transformational. You've helped us create a space that supports not only academic learning but also student independence, responsibility, and pride in their environment.

Your kindness made a real and immediate difference in our students' daily experience and the atmosphere of our learning environment.\r\n\r\nWith your support, we were able to bring so many creative projects to life. The double-sided tape, adhesive hooks, sticky tacky dots, and hot glue sticks were put to great use right away! Students will use some of these supplies to craft heartfelt cards for veterans and senior citizens, we use some to decorate our classroom, and design vibrant bulletin boards/wall designs in our hallways that now brighten up our space and celebrate their hard work.\r\n\r\nThese materials not only make our projects possible — they elevate them. Students are able to work more independently and confidently, knowing they have the tools needed to bring their ideas to life. The ease of using quality supplies also allowed us to focus more on collaboration and creativity rather than struggling with logistics.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation helped create a more welcoming, student-centered environment where everyone feels proud of their contributions.
