These materials have made learning math more interactive and enjoyable. My students are able to use colorful counters and other hands-on materials to practice counting, recognizing numbers, and solving math problems. Since my students learn in different ways, having these resources helps me make lessons more visual and easier to understand.\r\n\r\nOne moment I enjoyed was watching a student use the counters to solve a math problem and write the answer on the board. The student was able to touch, move, and count the objects instead of only looking at numbers on a worksheet. The materials also give students opportunities to practice independently and with support when needed. Moving forward, I will continue using these manipulatives during our math lessons to build number sense, practice addition and subtraction, and help students become more confident in their math skills.","fullyFundedDate":1792591273755,"projectUrl":"project/making-math-fun-with-hands-on-learning-t/10751208/","projectTitle":"Making Math Fun With Hands-On Learning Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. rodriguez Castillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10718547_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x0,y5&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1792507142742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10718547"},{"teacherId":8696974,"projectId":7285126,"letterContent":"My students love art. In art class, we learn how to be hands-on, develop our spatial skills, manage our emotions, and share with others. We also learn how to be in and respond well to the world. \r\n\r\nI am submitting photos that show these aspects of learning in action, and also the products of these explorations. You will see students thinking, building, sharing, working together, and being proud of their work. I have also included a field trip image of students looking at the sculptures of Carol Bove at the Guggenheim Museum (Please note I have added the \"apples\" to keep student identities private, as I do not have permission for everyone). We are fortunate to have museum resources that reinforce all the aspects I teach my students that you so graciously supported.\r\n \r\nThis year, I am working with middle school students in special education, and we are currently creating projects inspired by Hispanic Heritage month. Students explored the symbolism and concentric lines of the artist Martín Ramírez, making their own symbolic drawings. We are further exploring symbolism and texture by making Wixárika-inspired yarn paintings. \r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for contributing to my classroom. Both myself and my students experience a lot of joy through your contributions.","fullyFundedDate":1681319257380,"projectUrl":"project/building-sculptures-through-play-in-art/7285126/","projectTitle":"Building Sculptures Through Play in Art Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Curtis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8696974_orig.png?crop=296,296,x0,y133&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1774278100671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8696974"},{"teacherId":9975727,"projectId":9812878,"letterContent":"This project has had a meaningful impact by giving students access to sensory tools that support emotional regulation, attention, and successful participation throughout the school day. Items such as fidgets, noise-canceling headphones, and calming tools provide students with strategies to manage sensory needs and feel more comfortable within their learning environment.\r\n\r\nWith the right supports available, students can spend less time feeling overwhelmed and more time engaging with their teachers and peers, participating in classroom activities, and developing greater independence. These resources also help students learn to recognize their individual sensory and emotional needs and identify strategies that help them feel calm, focused, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project has helped to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student has the tools they need to participate, grow, and experience success at school.","fullyFundedDate":1767895258565,"projectUrl":"project/sense-sational-spaces/9812878/","projectTitle":"Sense-sational Spaces!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Danielle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9975727"},{"teacherId":6569165,"projectId":7422320,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for making our \"Magical Library\" project a reality! Your generosity helped create a classroom library where my students can explore new stories, discover new interests, and experience the joy of reading. Seeing their excitement as they explored the new books was incredibly rewarding. The library has become more than just a collection of books; it is a welcoming space where students can choose texts that interest them, build their literacy skills, and develop greater confidence as readers.\r\n\r\nYour support continues to make an impact each time a student selects a book, discovers a new character, or becomes excited to read independently. Moving forward, we will continue using our Magical Library during independent reading, literacy activities, and opportunities for students to share and discuss what they are reading. My hope is that these experiences continue nurturing a lifelong love of reading in each of my students.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping us create a little reading magic in our classroom.

Because of your kindness, my students now have access to xylophones, headphones, and boomwhackers—resources that have truly transformed the way they experience and engage with music.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made an immediate and meaningful impact, especially for my students with diverse learning needs. The xylophones have provided a hands-on, visual, and tactile way for students to understand pitch and melody. The boomwhackers have brought rhythm to life through color-coded, accessible learning, allowing students to actively participate regardless of their ability level. The headphones have created a focused and supportive environment, enabling students to explore music technology independently using tools like Chrome Music Lab.\r\n\r\nI am proud to share that, because of your support, my students have made remarkable progress. Many of them are now able to play simple, recognizable songs such as Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Hot Cross Buns, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. For some of my students, especially those with severe disabilities, this is a significant milestone. They are not only playing instruments but also developing confidence, coordination, listening skills, and a sense of accomplishment.\r\n\r\nBeyond musical skills, I have witnessed growth in focus, collaboration, and self-expression. Students who were once hesitant are now eager to participate, perform, and share their learning with pride. The joy and excitement in the classroom are truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students opportunities they might not have otherwise experienced. You have helped create a space where every child can succeed, explore, and feel valued through music.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for investing in my students' education and for making a lasting difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1767243259116,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-sounds-for-every-learner-k5/9935398/","projectTitle":"Colorful Sounds for Every Learner: K–5!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Maxwell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7658315"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124097","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":63.0,"schoolId":124097,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about P469X - The Bronx School for Continuous Learners on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"P469X - The Bronx School for Continuous Learners","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-469x-is-339/124097"}
