The students were excited to see the new whiteboards. We use them daily to check for understand during the lesson. They kept saying, \"Look, we have new whiteboards!\" While we haven't had the opportunity to use the classroom buzzers yet, we will as testing season approaches. I like to group the students in teams and play math games for mastery. \r\n\r\nI absolutely love the mobile whiteboard. I am able to roll it from my classroom, to my inclusion classroom with ease. I use it in my inclusion classroom to reteach lessons or parts of a lesson that students are struggling on. I conveniently group six or seven students in the rear of the classroom to re-teach the lesson during independent work time. If a student grasps the concept in the small group setting I allow the student to return to their original desk and allow another student who needs enrichment to take the open desk. I also found the mobile whiteboard allows me to go from group to group to reinforce the lesson, when students fall behind or don't understand. It allows my co-teacher and I to simultaneously teach students of various levels successfully. In my own classroom, I use the mobile whiteboard for small group teaching (8-10 kids). I do not have a whiteboard in my room so this helps tremendously. When I roll the whiteboard down the hall, teachers always stop me and say that my board is something they could use because of its convenience. \r\n\r\nAs we enter into Christmas Break, we will not be starting any new lessons until January 2026. Upon our return, we will continue solving systems of linear equations and teaching the students how to graph the linear equations. the whiteboards will definitely come in handy for the graphing as well as solving the equations as a whole group. \r\n\r\nI was elated to find out my requested resources were funded and again I thank you and my classes thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1758202711047,"projectUrl":"project/amazing-math-students-would-love-cool-ma/9632450/","projectTitle":"Amazing Math Students Would Love Cool Math Tools!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10200934_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x281,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758217017531","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10200934"},{"teacherId":3361976,"projectId":9710021,"letterContent":"Your generous donation has had a remarkable impact on my classroom.

I do not even need to ask them to do it as they are so excited about the shelves, they take it upon themselves. \r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they first saw the shelves. I and one of the custodians built them within one afternoon, so the kids had them in the room the next day. The one near the front of the room also holds their weekly assignments on the top. It makes it so easy for the students to grab their items and get directly to work. \r\n\r\nThe next steps are to continuing organizing the room and next steps is getting new dry-erase boards in order to have them engage in a Thinking Classroom where their work is displayed but then easily erasable for the next group to do the same.","fullyFundedDate":1755868043052,"projectUrl":"project/break-the-curve-not-our-backs/9631517/","projectTitle":"Break the Curve Not Our Backs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3981635_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1476241729289","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3981635"},{"teacherId":4732515,"projectId":9499725,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in helping bring new math manipulatives into our 7th grade classroom. We have been using these tools daily to deepen our understanding of ratios, proportionality, and integer operations. One of our favorite activities so far has involved using fraction tiles and algebra tiles to model multi-step problems. Students worked in small groups to physically build equations before solving them on paper, which helped connect abstract concepts to something they could see and touch. The manipulatives have become an essential part of our learning routine, especially for students who benefit from visual and hands-on exploration.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement filled the room. They eagerly opened boxes, sorted pieces, and immediately began experimenting with how they could represent different math ideas. Several students commented that the manipulatives made the math feel \"real\" and \"easier to understand,\" and for many, it was the first time they felt confident taking on challenging problems. The atmosphere quickly shifted to one of curiosity, teamwork, and productive conversation.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using these manipulatives as we transition into solving linear equations and exploring proportional relationships in greater depth. These tools will allow students to build conceptual understanding before moving to more symbolic work. Your contribution has made a lasting impact by giving students the confidence to explore math with creativity and enthusiasm. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for believing in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755868031576,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-math-success-providing-essenti/9499725/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Math Success: Providing Essential Manipulatives for Student Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jarrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4732515_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588541974567","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbjarrell"},{"teacherId":3361976,"projectId":9642522,"letterContent":"Your generous donation has had a remarkable impact on my classroom.
