My students receive special education services and often need extra support, and this device has already made a meaningful difference for them. The Surface Pro you provided has become an essential part of how my students learn mathematics, practice skills, and build confidence every day. Many of them struggle with organization, processing speed, and staying engaged during lessons, and this technology has helped bridge those gaps. With the tablet, I can model problems in real time, annotate student work, and give immediate visual feedback that helps students understand concepts more clearly.\r\nI have also noticed how much fun it is for them to solve problems using the device. Several students who were previously hesitant to participate now volunteer to come up and demonstrate their thinking on the tablet. It has become a tool that makes them feel capable, included, and proud of their ideas. For one student in particular, being able to zoom in, break problems into smaller steps, and write using the stylus has helped him stay engaged and calm during lessons.\r\nYour support has truly opened new possibilities for teaching and learning in our room. The Surface Pro has made our math instruction more interactive, more inclusive, and more supportive for students who need multiple pathways to succeed. Thank you for believing in them and for investing in tools that help them grow every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1755695921121,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-learning-through-technology/9273010/","projectTitle":"Empowering Learning Through Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mahdi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9054927_orig.png?crop=342,342,x135,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727047154563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9054927"},{"teacherId":8164765,"projectId":9562696,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping to support my classroom with paper and writing supplies.

When they need to complete projects they have the glue they need also.

Because of your generosity, we were able to bring a color printer and iPad into our special education program, two tools that have completely transformed the way my students learn and the way I am able to support them.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has been an incredible resource for data collection. Instead of shuffling through papers and clipboards, I can quickly and accurately track student progress in real time. This allows me to adjust instruction on the spot, celebrate growth right away, and share meaningful updates with families. Parents have told me how much they appreciate getting timely feedback on their child's progress, and students are motivated when they can see their own growth charted right in front of them.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has also made a huge difference. My students light up when they receive materials that are bright, engaging, and personalized for them. Visual schedules, modified assignments, and hands-on learning activities are so much more effective when they are in color. For example, one of my students who struggles with reading comprehension was able to use a color-coded graphic organizer that helped him finally make connections he hadn't before. Another student who is learning money identification benefits from realistic, full-color practice bills that make the learning experience more concrete.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources have given my students a sense of pride. They are excited to use materials that look professional and purposeful, and they take ownership of their work in a new way. For students who often face challenges in school, these small victories build confidence that carries over into other parts of their day.\r\n\r\nYour donation has had a real, lasting impact, not just on academics, but on the way my students see themselves as learners. Thank you for believing in them and giving us the tools to grow together.","fullyFundedDate":1741224150213,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-learning-with-color-technolo/9125489/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Learning with Color & Technology for Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olimski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8179143_orig.png?crop=599,599,x0,y71&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740174498420","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8179143"},{"teacherId":3821745,"projectId":9124907,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our library!

Thanks to your generosity, we now have a color printer, iPad, computer, keyboard station, and printer ink—all of which are being used daily to enhance learning and promote independence. The iPad is especially valuable for collecting job training data in real time during our life skills instruction. This helps us track student progress more efficiently and tailor our support to meet each learner's unique goals.\r\n\r\nThe new technology has sparked a lot of excitement among our students! The color printer has opened up possibilities for printing personalized visual supports, job training materials, and even student-created projects that look professional and polished. Our computer and keyboard station has quickly become a favorite area for students to practice typing, follow digital prompts for vocational tasks, and access modified learning apps. One student in particular, who typically struggles with engagement, now looks forward to using the computer every day to complete his digital task cards and proudly prints out his finished work to take home and show his family.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, technology provides access to learning that paper and pencil simply can't.

One student said with a big smile, \"It's like everything is just for us!\" These resources are helping them engage more fully in lessons, stay organized, and build independence. The headphones have been especially helpful during individual work time, allowing students to focus without distractions. The take-home folders have also improved communication with families, which is a big step forward for our classroom routines.\r\n\r\nOne of the most special additions has been the Insta Polaroid camera. We've started a birthday board, and taking an instant photo to celebrate each student's big day has quickly become a classroom favorite. Currently, we're working on a literacy project where students are creating personal mini-books. They're using their new supplies to write, illustrate, and assemble their work—practicing fine motor skills, creativity, and self-expression all at once.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom is more supportive, inclusive, and joyful.
