Now, no matter where a student is seated, they can clearly see what's on my screen — whether it's a read-aloud text, a science experiment video, or a math model. This visibility has made a huge difference for engagement and understanding. I can also display different content on each TV, allowing me to tailor learning for small groups. For example, one group can work on reading comprehension while another watches a video about animal adaptations. The TVs also allow me to use live translation for my multi-language learners, so they can see key vocabulary and instructions in both English and their home language. This has created a more inclusive environment where all students can access the material and participate confidently.\r\n\r\nWhat about the new product is most exciting to your students?\r\nMy students are thrilled that the TVs make learning feel more interactive and modern. They love seeing their own work displayed on the screens and enjoy when we use them to explore virtual field trips or play review games. The ability to show multiple lessons at once has also made stations and hands-on activities much smoother — they can follow directions independently without constantly needing reminders. The visuals, videos, and real-time examples make learning come alive for them, and they're more eager than ever to share what they've learned.\r\n\r\nAre there particular students who have especially warmed to this new technology, and how so?\r\nMy multi-language learners have especially benefited and shown the most excitement about the new technology. Having translations and visuals on their own screen helps them follow lessons with confidence and understand content alongside their peers. One student who was often hesitant to participate now volunteers to explain what she learned from the translated screen to her group — it's been wonderful to watch her grow more independent and proud of her progress. Even my more reluctant learners are more engaged now that they can clearly see and interact with what's being taught from anywhere in the room. The TVs have truly brought our classroom together and helped every student feel included in the learning process.","fullyFundedDate":1758824608641,"projectUrl":"project/do-you-see-what-i-see/9708255/","projectTitle":"Do You See What I See?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valerie Stiles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823629"},{"teacherId":9467210,"projectId":9439323,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your very generous donation and support. With your support, I was able to purchase some materials on Teachers Pay Teachers that support our new math curriculum. I have already used all of the Unit 1 centers, vocabulary and posters. I love how everything is organized and color coded. They were very helpful and useful. I will be able to use these materials for years to come.\r\n I was also able to add two new sensory bins to our center materials. These have been very popular with all of my students. They are always the center choices that get taken first. I am already looking to possibly purchase more since they are so popular.\r\n Thank you so much for helping me continue to have the very best resources and materials for my amazing students.

Now, we are still loving them this year as well! These resources will be able to be used for many years to come.\r\n\r\n The children really enjoyed using the sight word Bingo! during our alphabet countdown for the letter Ss. They also enjoyed using the puzzles and stem building blocks when they earned free choice time. Now, we are using the stem materials as students arrive in the morning in our morning bins. We are using the alphabet and number puzzles during math and reading centers. I know the Bingo games will also be a hit once we begin to build our alphabet fluency and work to identify beginning sounds of words.\r\n Thank you so much for choosing to support my classroom and helping me have the very best resources and materials to keep learning fun.

This was a big hit for our letter Rr day. Our glow day was also lots of fun with our added glow rings and necklaces. For Uu, we were able to read \"Unicorn Day!\" and enjoy some twirl unicorn lollipops. For our beach day every child was able to have a lei and sunglasses to wear to add to our fun. For our outside learning day, we used the sidewalk chalk you helped to purchase to review writing our trick words, draw different shapes we were learning, and to practice representing our numbers by drawing base ten blocks to show many different two digit numbers. Thank you so much for helping me add so much joy and fun to our end of year activities. Without your support, it would have been super challenging to do all that we were able to successfully.

One of our theme days included silly socks and shades. With your support, I was able to give every child shades to read in and enjoy. We also have already utilized some of our sidewalk chalk to complete a math activity on place value on a beautiful day when we needed a change of scenery and some extra time outdoors. I was so thankful to have the chalk on hand and be able to modify and adjust quickly to keep everyone engaged, learning and having fun. We also used some of the zoo animal masks for our \"Creature Features Showcase\" and everyone loved them! The masks were a great touch for students to have as they shared their research about various animals we studied with families and friends.

We all know having books at home is critical to building a love of reading and you are a part of making that possible.\r\n\r\nSince this project was funded, I was able to add many more quality, high-interest books for the children to choose from and enjoy. The children are all eager to browse the new books and are so excited to be able to take them home to read.
