We draw numbers to know who is going to what center. Even when the timer goes off to move to the next station because they are enjoying the activities so much. They were so excited when I showed them the materials.

Many of my students don't have headphones of their own, so this has helped them complete assignments with ease. The pencils and scissors have been essential for hands-on activities, giving students the ability to work on problem-solving tasks and creative projects without worrying about missing supplies.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest hits has been the sentence strips for fractions! These have been a game-changer in helping students visualize and compare fractions in a more concrete way. Instead of just seeing numbers on a page, they can manipulate and move the strips to understand fraction concepts more deeply. My students are especially excited to use them during small group work, where they challenge each other with fraction comparisons and build confidence in their math skills.\r\n\r\nI've also seen certain students, who usually struggle with math, become more engaged thanks to these resources. One student in particular, who was hesitant to participate, now eagerly raises his hand when we use the sentence strips. Having these materials has truly made a difference in the way my students learn and interact with math.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible! Your support is helping my students grow in confidence and understanding every day.","fullyFundedDate":1742255339747,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-young-minds-classroom-essenti/9032606/","projectTitle":"Equipping Young Minds: Classroom Essentials for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9596393_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736454623060","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9596393"},{"teacherId":5699772,"projectId":8685114,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation for our classroom. The impact that this has been on my students has been amazing. They are concentrating on their work better, and they enjoy their \"personal space\" using their dividers.

My students also enjoy the clarity of sound using their new headphones in our learning center.\r\n\r\nWith the contributions you have made, my students are even more eager and thirsty to learn.
