Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful difference for students who often face barriers to accessing the tools they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving these calculators, many students were sharing devices, relying on outdated models, or attempting advanced math work without the proper technology. Now, every student can fully participate in lessons that require graphing, data analysis, and problem-solving—essential skills for success in Algebra, Geometry, and standardized testing.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been remarkable. Students who once hesitated to engage now approach complex tasks with confidence. Classroom discussions are more collaborative, practice is more efficient, and students are developing stronger analytical skills. For many, this is the first time they feel truly equipped for math courses that are gateways to college and STEM careers.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided calculators—it has expanded opportunities, increased equity, and shown our students that their education matters. Thank you for investing in their potential and helping create a stronger, more empowered learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1758211673495,"projectUrl":"project/everyone-needs-a-calculator/9716512/","projectTitle":"Everyone Needs a Calculator","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. B","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8959837"},{"teacherId":9806522,"projectId":9788960,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project and making it possible for me to help keep fidgets in my classroom for my students! Every student benefits from receiving a fidget. In addition to this, my students' faces light up when I allow them to pick out their own fidget and yes, they are high schoolers! \r\n\r\nThese fidgets allow students who are movement motivated and learn best from a kinestetic learning style to keep moving while staying seated. This significantly helps the classroom environment to remain learning focused, especially when many classrooms are filled with 20+ students. \r\n\r\nWhile these fidgets might seem like a small thing, they do add up for a teacher to continuously buy out of their own pocket. In addition to this, teachers and students benefit from these sensory aids.

These materials have truly impacted my classroom's learning environment. These items have allowed us to turn the lights off daily during instructional time, yet have allowed the classroom to remain light and bright with just the blinds open! This allows for soft lighting, allowing students to feel more comfortable during their learning experiences. \r\n\r\nStudents have loved the neon signs as they provide a warm and colorful glow to the room and make it feel cozy. Additionally, when it is necessary to have the fleuroscent lights on, the light covers make it easier to function in the classroom. This lighting has made functioning in my classroom much easier for students with headaches and sensory issues! \r\n\r\nAdditionally, being able to have the lights off reduces the glare on our smart board and makes it much easier to see the board and improves learning! \r\n\r\nThank you so much for making all of this possible with your donation!","fullyFundedDate":1758636509302,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-environment-can-impact-learnin/9497581/","projectTitle":"Classroom Environment Can Impact Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9806522_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x226,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729110951783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9806522"},{"teacherId":8959837,"projectId":9720887,"letterContent":"The donation of copy paper, pencils, cardstock, and Kleenex has made a significant and immediate impact on my inner-city high school math classroom. Many of my students face daily challenges that extend far beyond the classroom, and having consistent access to basic supplies helps remove barriers that can interfere with their learning.\r\n\r\n The copy paper and cardstock have allowed us to create high-quality worksheets, graphic organizers, hands-on activities, and visual supports that make math more accessible and engaging. These materials help students stay organized, practice new skills, and build confidence through meaningful, well-designed learning tools.\r\n\r\n The donated pencils have been especially important. Many students come to school without writing utensils, often due to financial hardship. Having pencils available ensures that every student can participate fully in note-taking, problem-solving, tests, and collaborative group work. It eliminates stress, supports equity in the classroom, and allows us to focus on the math rather than the materials.\r\n\r\n The Kleenex may seem like a small item, but it matters greatly in a classroom with limited resources. It helps students manage everyday needs with dignity, reduces interruptions, and promotes a clean, comfortable learning environment—especially during cold and allergy season.\r\n\r\n Your generosity ensures that students have what they need to learn, succeed, and feel supported every day.

I have them available for use before and during my classes. I have one plugged into each of the outlets around the classroom.
