My students are excited to have access to the same calculators they will use on their state assessments, and having them available during everyday instruction has helped build familiarity, confidence, and independence.\r\n\r\nTechnology plays an important role in helping students understand mathematics. When students work with fractions, decimals, and multi-step problems, calculators help them check their computations and focus more on understanding the mathematical concepts and problem-solving strategies. Instead of getting discouraged by challenging calculations, students can spend more time explaining their thinking, identifying patterns, and learning from their mistakes.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things for my students is knowing that they are practicing with the exact calculators they will encounter on their state tests. This gives them an opportunity to become comfortable with the technology before test day, reducing uncertainty and allowing them to focus on demonstrating what they know.\r\n\r\nMy English Language Learners have especially benefited from having this additional support. Calculators help reduce some of the computational challenges they face while they continue developing their mathematical understanding and academic language. General education students have also gained confidence, while my honors students appreciate being able to check their work and tackle more complex problems.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these calculators have helped create a classroom where students with different academic abilities and learning needs have access to the same tools and opportunities for success.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our seventh graders! Your generosity has provided more than calculators -- it instilled confidence, valuable practice, and the opportunity for every student to feel better prepared for both everyday math and state assessments.

With these new supplies, my students can explore the connections between traditional and digital art while developing their artistic skills and expressing their unique ideas.\r\n\r\nThe colored pencils, acrylic markers, and sketchbooks give students more opportunities to brainstorm, experiment with color, develop character designs, and plan their digital projects before bringing their ideas to life on their Chromebooks. The acrylic markers allow students to explore bold colors and create vibrant illustrations, while the colored pencils help them practice shading, blending, and adding details. The sketchbooks provide a dedicated space for students to collect inspiration, develop ideas, and document their creative process. The headphones help students stay focused as they work on digital illustrations, animations, and other multimedia projects.\r\n\r\nMy students are excited to have more tools to bring their ideas to life and explore different ways of making art. Every student has a unique creative voice, and having access to a variety of materials allows them to experiment, take creative risks, and discover the artistic approaches that work best for them.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue developing their artistic portfolios by combining traditional drawing techniques with digital design. Whether they are designing original characters, creating illustrations, or experimenting with animation, these resources will help them build confidence, strengthen their artistic skills, and take greater ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our young artists and helping us build a classroom where creativity, exploration, and self-expression can thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1777954523704,"projectUrl":"project/digital-art-supplies/10214468/","projectTitle":"Digital Art Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zhang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10484535_orig.jpg?crop=3480,3480,x360,y429&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1788455510800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10484535"},{"teacherId":6042271,"projectId":10670121,"letterContent":"Since the pandemic, many student still struggle to bring supplies to school.
