Your donations have made a meaningful difference in the lives of my students.\r\n\r\nThis new computer has made learning more hands-on, relevant, and engaging for my students. Instead of only reading about elections or discussing them in the abstract, students are now actively analyzing real data from the November 5, 2025 General Election. They use the technology to review results, compare trends, and create predictions as they prepare to discuss the upcoming June 23, 2026 Primary Election. This has strengthened their critical thinking, data analysis, and discussion skills while helping them better understand how civic processes affect their own lives.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how \"real\" the learning feels. They're working with the same kinds of tools used by analysts and journalists, which makes them feel empowered and taken seriously as learners. Many students who were once hesitant to participate now confidently share insights, debate predictions, and support their ideas with evidence they've gathered themselves using the computer.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have touched students in a deeply meaningful way as well. Many of my 12th graders balance long school days with afterschool activities and community service. By the time they reach my class, they are often tired and hungry—but now, they don't have to push through that alone. The snacks help them stay focused, energized, and cared for, reminding them that their well-being matters just as much as their academic success.\r\n\r\nBecause of our donors, my students feel supported, motivated, and seen. Thank you for investing not only in their education, but in their futures.","fullyFundedDate":1768406648107,"projectUrl":"project/election-by-the-numbers-where-math-mee/9839216/","projectTitle":"Election by the Numbers: Where Math Meets Civic Data","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marinova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4133234_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1484243348293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4133234"},{"teacherId":546296,"projectId":10031601,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my Donorschoose project.

The printer toner has allowed us to consistently provide clear, high-quality materials for lessons, practice work, and feedback—something that's easy to take for granted, but incredibly important for student success. Instead of reusing faded copies or limiting printouts, students now have the resources they need right in front of them, which helps them stay focused and confident in their work.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how seamlessly these tools fit into their daily routines. Having reliable printed materials helps them follow along, annotate, and organize their thinking, especially for students who learn best by writing things down or seeing examples in front of them. The grandma cookies were an unexpected joy—those small moments of comfort and care made students feel valued and supported, and they sparked smiles, conversations, and a stronger sense of classroom community.\r\n\r\nThank you for the printer toner, the grandma cookies, and all the thoughtful supplies you've provided.

Instead of only studying concepts on paper, students are now building real applications that show how math works in the real world. Using the Mac, they can design, code, test, and improve function approximation apps that model things like trends, predictions, and simulations. This hands-on experience helps students truly understand ideas that can otherwise feel abstract or intimidating.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is that they are creating something real and meaningful. They aren't just completing assignments, they are developing apps, running simulations, and seeing immediate results from their code. The Mac allows them to work with professional-grade tools in a smooth, reliable environment, which makes learning feel authentic and empowering. Students are proud to say they are learning on the same type of technology used by engineers, developers, and scientists in the real world.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, students are gaining valuable skills in coding, critical thinking, and problem-solving while building confidence in their ability to create and innovate. This Mac computer is more than a piece of technology—it is a gateway to deeper learning and future opportunities.\r\n\r\nThank you also for the snacks that came with this project. The students' favorite, Grandma Cookies, have been a big help during our after-school work sessions. Having a snack available helps students keep up their energy and stay focused during longer hours of coding, app development, and problem-solving. Because of this support, students are better able to concentrate, collaborate, and complete their work by the deadlines.
