Smiles, questions, and eager conversations filled the classroom as they realized these new resources were just for them. Many students wanted to explore the materials right away and asked when they could begin using them during lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we started incorporating the items into our daily learning, students became even more engaged and motivated. The materials helped make lessons more interactive and accessible, allowing students to participate with greater confidence. I noticed increased focus, collaboration, and a willingness to try new strategies, especially from students who may have previously struggled.\r\n\r\nThis donation has not only provided valuable instructional tools but has also shown my students that others believe in their potential and care about their success. Knowing that organizations like Sonic support education has made a lasting impression on my students and has strengthened our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1757343349111,"projectUrl":"project/multiply-learning/9426735/","projectTitle":"Multiply Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. L.
