The set of ten TI-30XIIS calculators has been a game-changer for my Algebra 1 classes, giving every student hands-on access to a reliable tool during lessons, practice work, and assessments. No more sharing or waiting — each student can work at their own pace and build confidence with the technology they'll rely on throughout their math education. For my Algebra 2 and Trigonometry students, the fresh batteries for our TI-84 graphing calculators have brought those powerful devices back to life, allowing us to explore complex functions, graph equations, and work through multi-step problems without interruption. Beyond the calculators, the pencils ensure that every student always has what they need to show their work clearly, the colored markers have allowed me to bring lessons to life on the whiteboard in a more visual and organized way, and the boxes of Kleenex have kept our classroom a comfortable and healthy space for learning.\r\nThe moment the materials arrived, the excitement in my classroom was immediate and heartfelt. Students crowded around as I unboxed the calculators, and more than a few let out genuine cheers when they saw the fresh supplies stacked and ready for them. What moved me most, though, was what happened without any prompting from me — a handful of students quietly made their way to the whiteboard and drew a big, hand-lettered \"Thank You\" message, complete with a drawing to go along with it. I've included a photo of that moment, because it captured something I couldn't have scripted: students who felt seen, supported, and genuinely grateful. It was a powerful reminder that when donors invest in a classroom, students feel that investment personally. These were not just supplies — to my students, they were a message that someone out there cared about their education.\r\nLooking ahead, these materials will continue to play a central role in our day-to-day learning. My Algebra 1 students will be using the TI-30XIIS calculators as we move into working with linear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations — concepts that require repeated computation and checking of solutions. My Algebra 2 and Trigonometry students will rely on their newly powered TI-84s as we dive deeper into polynomial functions, trigonometric identities, and real-world application problems that involve graphing and analysis. The pencils and markers will be staples throughout all of these lessons, supporting note-taking, collaborative whiteboard work, and visual problem-solving strategies. With these resources in hand, my students are better equipped than ever to tackle challenging material, participate actively, and develop the mathematical skills that will serve them well beyond my classroom. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and theirs, for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1768657285429,"projectUrl":"project/liessmann-math-class/10023479/","projectTitle":"Liessmann Math Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Liessmann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9397359"},{"teacherId":1826764,"projectId":10030442,"letterContent":"My students are using the carts to learn about the different conservation principles involved in collisions.
