The whiteboard markers have already made a big difference during our daily lessons. Students are excited to come up and solve problems, explain their reasoning, and collaborate. Having a fresh set of working markers has turned our whiteboard into a lively space for discussion and creativity. The Kleenex has been a huge help too, especially during the cold season, helping keep our students comfortable and focused on learning.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest impacts has come from the AAA batteries you provided for our graphing calculators. My students recently began a unit on data analysis and graphing functions, and having calculators that actually *work* has transformed the way they learn. I'll never forget the excitement when they realized every calculator in the room was powered up and ready to go, no more sharing or waiting for turns! It was such a simple but powerful change that made everyone more confident and engaged in the lesson.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be diving deeper into real-world math applications, like interpreting statistics and modeling with graphs. Because of your support, my students can now fully participate in these activities without interruption.","fullyFundedDate":1760721278154,"projectUrl":"project/ti-84-batteries-kleenex-dry-erase-ma/9551270/","projectTitle":"Ti-84 Batteries, Kleenex, & Dry Erase Markers for Algebra 1!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Frank","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9560975"},{"teacherId":9560975,"projectId":9186568,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous contributions to our classroom! The supplies you provided—Kleenex, dry erase markers, air fresheners, folders, binders, page protectors, and Clorox wipes—have made an immediate and meaningful impact on both the learning environment and daily routines for my students.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They were especially thrilled about the fresh dry erase markers—we use whiteboards constantly for math practice, quick review games, and collaborative activities, so having a full set of working markers made it feel like a brand-new classroom. One student even said, \"Now I don't have to borrow a marker that barely works!\" The binders and folders have helped tremendously with organization. Students are using them to keep track of notes, sources, and outlines, which has made it much easier to stay focused and productive.\r\n\r\nThanks to the Clorox wipes and air fresheners, our classroom has stayed clean and fresh, creating a more comfortable and healthy space to learn. As we move forward, students will continue to use the materials you provided for ongoing projects, like our end-of-quarter presentations. Your support has taken a weight off my shoulders and truly enhanced our classroom experience.

With the new resources, including math manipulatives and interactive learning tools, my students have been able to engage more deeply with the material. Recently, we undertook a project where students created and analyzed their own statistical surveys. They used the graphing calculators to visualize data and draw conclusions, making the learning experience both practical and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their reactions were filled with excitement and curiosity. They immediately gathered around the supplies, eager to explore how they could apply these tools to their math projects. The enthusiasm in the room was palpable, as students began brainstorming ideas and collaborating on their surveys. Moving forward, we plan to delve deeper into data analysis and interpretation, allowing students to present their findings to the class. This interactive approach not only enhances their understanding of statistical concepts but also builds their confidence in presenting mathematical ideas.
