Thanks to your support, we have officially received our new rolling dry-erase cart along with a wonderful supply of essential classroom materials!\r\n\r\nThe impact of your generosity is already being felt by my students every single day. This rolling cart has completely transformed how we interact during lessons. Because it is so mobile, I can easily bring the board directly to different student groups for targeted, small-group instruction, or the students can use it themselves to collaborate on STEM projects and brain-storming sessions. It has injected a whole new level of energy, movement, and engagement into our daily routines.","fullyFundedDate":1768082676204,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-dry-erase-whiteboard-board-and-m/9990485/","projectTitle":"Rolling Dry Erase Whiteboard Board and More!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Warnemunde","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9610537"},{"teacherId":9350252,"projectId":9991322,"letterContent":"Our classroom has greatly benefited from the iPads you helped provide for small group instruction and review. Technology has become a powerful learning tool that allows students to practice skills in a more engaging and interactive way. During small group lessons, students are able to work on activities that match their individual learning needs and pace. The iPads also give students immediate feedback, which helps them recognize mistakes, build confidence, and improve their understanding right away. Whether we are reviewing math concepts, practicing reading skills, or reinforcing lessons taught in class, the iPads have made learning more meaningful and effective for my students.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for the students is how interactive and hands-on the learning experience has become. They love using educational apps, games, and digital activities that make practice feel fun and motivating. Even students who are usually hesitant to participate during whole-group lessons become more involved and eager to learn when using the iPads. The excitement on their faces when they successfully complete a lesson or master a skill has been truly rewarding to see.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who often need extra support have especially warmed up to this technology. Some of my quieter students have become more confident because they can practice independently without feeling pressured. Other students who struggle to stay focused during traditional review activities are now more engaged and motivated to complete tasks. The iPads have created opportunities for students to learn in ways that best fit their needs, and because of your generosity, they are building important academic and technology skills that will benefit them far beyond our classroom. Thank you for making this possible for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1768078799319,"projectUrl":"project/tapping-into-reading-and-math-success/9991322/","projectTitle":"Tapping into Reading and Math Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Templado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9350252"},{"teacherId":1977871,"projectId":9989904,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us restock our classroom.

Your support has allowed us to slow down and truly see one another, creating a soft place for a resilient community to land, reflect, and grow together.\r\n\r\nThere is a quiet, profound dignity in having the right tools, and I am deeply moved by how your gift has smoothed the path for their creativity.

While I have expertise, I do not have materials to ensure that the curriculum is translated in a manner that is accessible to all. My classroom is in a low-income community in Las Vegas, NV. I work in a Title 1 school. Our students come to school hungry, many wear the same clothes to school day after day, and many qualify for free lunches. Some of my students' parents do not speak English and every student in my class has autism spectrum disorder (ASD).\r\nI love what I do, I have spent my 28 years career working with people with ASD. Unfortunately, I left the classroom years ago. I am in the process of rebuilding a program. While the district provides a curriculum, the additional supports required to build a well-developed program are severely lacking. My administration made great efforts to provide materials, but students with intensive needs are specific in terms of what they require to learn and grow. While the general education population may tolerate puzzles and multicolored counters, for math, my students will also need large sized counters as some tend to mouth inedible materials – a choking hazard. Some students require counters that are themed based on preferred characters or animals in order to engage with them as their motivation to participate in academics or math specifically is low. Many of the students are working on attending skills, persistence – or the ability to remain on task for longer and longer periods, asking for breaks in the absence of eloping from their seats, and engaging in increasingly more challenging academic tasks. They learn to do these things by earning reinforcement, rewards for their efforts. It takes great effort to sit and work as hard as they do. These students are often confused, frustrated, tired, and struggle to make even the smallest gains. They are learning how to act like students, before anything else. The time and effort I ask of them, feels monumental.\r\nThe materials that you have provided helps them to engage in a manner that feels safe, familiar and comfortable. While they are in kindergarten and first grade, they are oftentimes, developmentally delayed. As educators, we meet them where they are. Playing with items such as kitchen pots and pans, like in preschool, scooping kinetic sand with ice-cream scoopers and making academics feel like play. The more fun we have, the less opposition to the work. The less opposition, the more engagement and learning takes place.\r\nThe materials that Donors Choose has provided helped me to begin building a productive, safe and engaging classroom for a special group of children. We are slowly building a wonderful classroom for children that deserve to learn and grow, just like everybody else. This takes a lot of time, effort and specific materials and expertise.\r\nThank you to all of our donors for providing my students and staff some of the items we need to build an exciting, fun, and captivating place.","fullyFundedDate":1769177564020,"projectUrl":"project/autism-classroom-reaches-for-the-sky/10000913/","projectTitle":"Autism Classroom Reaches for the Sky","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Ben Zvi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10399832"},{"teacherId":9347094,"projectId":9990509,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

The soft lighting from the volcano lamp, fish lamp, and standing lamps has made a big difference in helping students relax and focus throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWe use these materials every day during reading, writing, and small group work. I have noticed that students are more focused and more engaged in their learning. They are taking their time, working together, and putting more effort into their work. The new supplies also make sure every student has what they need, which has helped build confidence and participation across the classroom.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through our lessons, students will keep using this space to grow as readers, writers, and thinkers.
