Your contribution has already made a meaningful difference in the way my students learn and engage with mathematics.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have transformed our daily lessons into more interactive, hands-on experiences. Instead of passively watching problems worked out on the board, students now collaborate, practice, and share their thinking in real time. The markers give them the freedom to try, make mistakes, and start again without fear—helping them build both confidence and persistence in problem-solving.\r\n\r\nI've noticed that students who were once hesitant to participate are now more willing to take risks and share their ideas with their peers. The energy in the room has shifted; students are excited to \"show their work\" and even compete in friendly problem-solving challenges. It's clear that these tools are not just supplies—they are helping to create an environment where learning feels active, collaborative, and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting their education. Your generosity is not only equipping them with resources, but also inspiring them to approach learning with curiosity and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1742229609086,"projectUrl":"project/building-thinking-classrooms/8964855/","projectTitle":"Building Thinking Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Seedorf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9650022"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61141","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":378,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":61141,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Blue Earth Area High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Blue Earth Area High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/blue-earth-area-independent-school-district-2860/blue-earth-area-high-school/61141"}
