One of our favorite moments so far has been during small group reading time. Students are now able to choose books from our classroom library that truly interest them, and they are much more excited to read and share their thoughts.\r\n\r\nIn math, we recently used manipulatives during a lesson on problem-solving. Instead of just working through problems on paper, students were able to physically model their thinking. I watched several students have \"aha\" moments as they moved pieces around and suddenly understood concepts that had previously been challenging. The whiteboards have also become a daily staple, giving students a chance to practice skills in a low-pressure way while I provide immediate feedback.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the excitement in the classroom was incredible. Students were eager to explore everything right away—especially the new books and hands-on tools. Many of them immediately gravitated toward the classroom library, flipping through pages and asking if they could start reading.\r\n\r\nAs we continue using these resources, our next steps involve deepening both literacy and hands-on learning experiences. In reading, students will begin participating in small group discussions and simple book response activities, helping them build comprehension and confidence in sharing their ideas.\r\n\r\nIn math, we will continue using manipulatives to support more complex problem-solving and encourage students to explain their thinking using both materials and whiteboards. We are also beginning to incorporate more collaborative games and activities that promote teamwork and critical thinking.","fullyFundedDate":1768657934465,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-learning-with-books-sensory/10024097/","projectTitle":"Supporting Learning with Books, Sensory Tools, and Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Murakami","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10404837"},{"teacherId":10055606,"projectId":9999223,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to support Coral Academy of Science Reno Northwest!

Many of our donors use technology in daily life, but in our classroom, technology has become a powerful tool for hands-on learning. Instead of only reading about concepts in math, science, and engineering, my students are now designing, problem-solving, and bringing their ideas to life. The 3D printer has helped them understand measurements, geometry, spatial reasoning, and the engineering design process in a real and meaningful way. Learning is no longer abstract — it is something they can hold in their hands.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is seeing their imagination turn into a real object. Watching their designs slowly print layer by layer builds anticipation, pride, and confidence. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now eager to share their ideas and collaborate with their classmates. This technology has especially empowered some of my quieter and more reserved students; they shine when designing and troubleshooting their creations. It has given them a new voice and a new way to express their creativity.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided equipment — it has opened doors to innovation, critical thinking, and future career exploration.
