The LCD tablets allow them to work out problems quickly, try new strategies, and erase mistakes with ease—no more wasted paper or fear of getting something wrong. Students can show their thinking, collaborate in learning circles, and see math as something active and creative rather than just numbers on a page. The hands-on practice and instant feedback have built their confidence tremendously, and it shows in our results—a 90% mastery rate in converting fractions, decimals, and percents!\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is how interactive learning has become. They love being able to \"write, try, and redo\" as they explore different ways to solve problems. The LCD tablets make math feel more like a game or challenge than a worksheet, and the learning circles give them a chance to talk, share, and cheer each other on. They're truly having fun while mastering some tough concepts.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who used to shy away from math have completely warmed up to it thanks to this new technology. One student who often hesitated to participate now volunteers to show her work on the tablet, proud to explain her reasoning to the group. Another student who struggled with decimals now races to help others understand conversions. It's incredible to see how these tools have not only boosted understanding but also built confidence, teamwork, and excitement for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1758486258655,"projectUrl":"project/fractions-decimals-percentsoh-my-te/9728679/","projectTitle":"Fractions, Decimals, Percents—Oh My! Tech Tools to Tackle Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Batton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10269235"},{"teacherId":4325082,"projectId":9496237,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a space where reading feels accessible, interactive, and joyful for every student. With the resources provided through this project—interactive reading games, word- and sentence-building tools, LCD writing tablets, figurative language activities, dyslexia-friendly materials, and access to Teachers Pay Teachers resources—my students are now equipped to strengthen every strand of reading.\r\n\r\nThe \"Reading Rope\" model teaches us that reading is not one single skill, but rather the weaving together of multiple strands, including word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and background knowledge. Before this project, many of my students were struggling in one or more of these areas. Some lacked confidence with decoding, others needed additional practice with writing, and still others were ready to be challenged with higher-level comprehension work. Your gift allowed me to address all of these needs with tools that are both engaging and effective.\r\n\r\nThe interactive reading games have been an instant hit. Students are working in pairs and small groups, practicing phonics and word-building skills in a way that feels like play rather than drill. One student who often avoided reading activities was the first to volunteer when I pulled out a new word game, and now he proudly asks to \"teach\" his peers how to play. These moments are small, but they add up to huge changes in confidence and skill.\r\n\r\nThe LCD writing tablets have given students a chance to practice without the pressure of making mistakes on paper. They love being able to quickly erase and try again, and I've noticed students are writing more willingly and with greater persistence. For struggling writers, this has been a game-changer. The tablets have also supported collaborative work, as students jot down words, sentences, or figurative language examples to share with the class.\r\n\r\nThe figurative language resources have brought reading to life in creative ways. My students laugh together when we explore idioms, get excited to illustrate metaphors, and are starting to use similes in their own writing. This exposure not only deepens comprehension but also encourages them to see themselves as authors with powerful voices.\r\n\r\nFor my students with dyslexia, the targeted resources have provided the structured, supportive practice they need to feel successful. One student who had been hesitant to read aloud now volunteers more often, telling me, \"These tools make it easier for me to see the words.\" Watching that shift in self-belief has been one of the most rewarding parts of this project.\r\n\r\nFinally, the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has allowed me to purchase high-quality, teacher-created resources aligned to the Reading Rope. I've been able to supplement instruction with targeted activities for fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary that directly meet my students' needs. Having access to these materials has made my instruction more flexible and responsive.\r\n\r\nThe overall impact has been tremendous. Students are not only practicing reading more, but they are also enjoying it. I see more smiles during small group work, hear more excited voices during games, and watch as students challenge themselves to tackle harder texts. Most importantly, I see a sense of pride developing—students believe they can grow as readers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made all of this possible. You have given my students the tools to strengthen each strand of the reading rope, which will help them become confident, capable readers for years to come. Thank you for investing in their success and for believing in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1754058919421,"projectUrl":"project/strengthening-the-strands-building-skil/9496237/","projectTitle":"Strengthening the Strands: Building Skilled Readers with Scarborough’s Rope","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dome","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4325082_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y120&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651279432892","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4325082"},{"teacherId":4325082,"projectId":9227014,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been transformed thanks to your generosity!
