Your contribution is more than a set of study tools—it is an investment in confidence, readiness, and long-term academic success.\r\n\r\nFractions are a foundational skill in middle school mathematics, and many students struggle to master them. By supplying high-quality fraction cards, you are helping students build fluency, practice independently, and stay engaged with essential math concepts. These cards allow students to revisit their fraction facts anytime, supporting stronger retention and reducing frustration in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe buzzers have added an exciting and motivating element to our review activities. What once felt like routine practice now feels like a game—students are eager to participate, energized during lessons, and more confident in sharing their answers. The buzzers spark healthy competition and teamwork that transform the learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1760378447693,"projectUrl":"project/math-fun-success/9815169/","projectTitle":"Math + Fun = Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fugiett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10010597_orig.jpg?crop=318,318,x93,y55&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746123246899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010597"},{"teacherId":970658,"projectId":9295020,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the two stationary bicycles for our school library — they've been an incredible hit!\r\n\r\nOur school was struck by a tornado in September 2024, which displaced us across campus until October 2025. After such a challenging year, these bicycles have brought excitement and energy to our newly restored space.\r\n\r\nSince their arrival last month, they've created quite the buzz. Students have been eager to know how and when they can take a turn. Many now \"read and ride\" during their study periods, homeroom, and language arts classes. I haven't even had the chance to introduce them formally at a staff meeting yet, but student interest has already taken off!\r\n\r\nBoth avid readers and reluctant readers alike have requested time slots to use the bikes. Students bring a teacher's pass for five, ten, or fifteen minutes and enjoy reading while they ride. Our principal suggested tracking the total miles and marking progress on a map of Indiana — an idea I plan to launch next week. Just last week, one student read and rode 5.2 miles during her study period, and she absolutely loved it!\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us promote both literacy and wellness among our students.

Your donations of markers, colored pencils, wipes, a lamp, and a calculator organizer have already made a meaningful difference for my students and I.\r\n\r\nThe markers and colored pencils have given students more opportunities to engage more deeply in their learning. The calculator holder has brought organization to our math classroom, helping students quickly find and return calculators so that we spend less time searching for supplies and more time learning. The wipes help us keep our classroom clean and safe, building a welcoming environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nOne of the most special additions has been the lamp. It has made our classroom feel cozy, inviting, and comfortable—a place where students feel at ease to learn and grow. Small touches like this help build a sense of belonging, and my students notice the difference.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and supporting their success.
