By connecting these hexagons, students are able to see the relationships between ideas in a tangible and engaging way. This method not only promotes deeper understanding but also encourages meaningful collaboration and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nYour donation of hexagon-shaped dry erase boards has proven invaluable. Their unique shape makes it easier for students to organize their thoughts, piece together concepts, and visualize connections. The interactive nature of the boards has transformed discussions into moments of true discovery.\r\n\r\nThe erasable highlighters and erasable pens you provided have become classroom favorites. These tools allow students to annotate, revise, and share ideas with confidence, increasing engagement and participation. \r\n\r\nAs students manipulated and linked their hexagons, they not only built content knowledge but also strengthened their understanding of key terms which is directly helping them prepare for our state science exams.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and support. Your contribution is not only enriching our science lessons but also making a lasting impact on our students' learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1744033081617,"projectUrl":"project/collaboration-station-formation-supplies/9195655/","projectTitle":"Collaboration Station Formation Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Watson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6178929_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1546577366638","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6178929"},{"teacherId":5984319,"projectId":9062206,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to my students. \r\nI was first able to use these large whiteboards for students to work collaboratively on their geometry assignment. The geometry curriculum contains a lot of shapes and those types of problems just can't really be done without drawing and labeling a diagram to show what the problem is asking and to assist in developing a problem-solving strategy. Not only were my students able to draw the necessary diagrams, but they were also able to show their thinking.\r\nHaving students work together in a group enriched the type of discussions they were having and allowed them to gain a better understanding of the topics. I am really excited to see my students engage in this type of activity.

I am glad that you contributed so I am able to support students with a snack to keep them energized in order to be able to keep up with their demanding schedule and not have to worry about needing to acquire food that is not always available to them.\r\nI am most impressed that students do not take advantage of the situation and realize that this food should be used by those who are less fortunate.
