When the supplies arrived—math tools, markers, whiteboards, pencils, the laminating machine, and more—my students were absolutely thrilled. Their eyes lit up with excitement as we unpacked the boxes together. One student said, \"It's like Christmas in our classroom!\" It was a truly joyful moment that brought us all closer together.\r\n\r\nWe've already started putting the supplies to great use. In math, we're currently working on a hands-on fractions project. Students are using whiteboards and color-coded markers to draw and compare fractions visually. They're also using fraction manipulatives during small-group centers to deepen their understanding. The laminating machine has been a game-changer—I've used it to create durable math games and vocabulary flashcards that students can reuse throughout the year.\r\n\r\nOne particularly special moment happened last week when we used the new materials to set up peer-teaching stations. Students took turns being the \"teacher,\" using whiteboards to explain math problems to their classmates. The confidence they showed, and the way they supported each other, was incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next big focus is a geometry unit where we'll be using the new supplies to build interactive math journals. These resources are helping us learn in more engaging, meaningful ways, and I truly can't thank you enough for helping make this possible.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1731530382506,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies/8514121/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8564153_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659488180215","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8564153"},{"teacherId":9806587,"projectId":8918835,"letterContent":"Thank YOU for making this project possible!
