As they work through questions, I receive instant feedback that helps me identify gaps, celebrate progress, and adjust instruction in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nYour support will directly impact student learning by making math more accessible, more engaging, and more fun. With this resource, my students will build stronger skills, deeper understanding, and the confidence they need to succeed — today and in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1762267739430,"projectUrl":"project/quizizzwayground-subscription/9791720/","projectTitle":"Quizizz/Wayground Subscription","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reynolds","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3264635_orig.jpg?crop=4160,4160,x1040,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687195347501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carrie-reynolds"},{"teacherId":9744878,"projectId":9681043,"letterContent":"My students had such a great time making both chalk neurons and model brains with clay. The excitement in the room when they saw all the multicolored chalk and the many different colors of clay was tangible. Even students who are typically more reserved and the ones who don't always engage were excited and ready to get started.\r\n\r\nThe chalk really allowed students to take what they learned and apply it creatively and on a lager scale than would be possible on a piece of paper. They were able to draw huge, sidewalk-sized neurons around the campus, get creative, and show off their knowledge!\r\n\r\nThe clay brains was an incredibly fun and engaging activity. Students had a great time getting to create their own brains, and the kinesthetic aspect was helpful for many students to be able to understand the different parts of the brain. It was a great way to get ALL students engaged, interested, and bought-into the assignment, which was to take their model brain and explain its parts and functions to adults on the school campus. Thank you again for making these exciting projects a tangible reality for my students, sparking joy, creativity, and inquiry.","fullyFundedDate":1757516875733,"projectUrl":"project/ap-psychology-interactive-brain-making/9681043/","projectTitle":"AP Psychology: Interactive Brain-Making and Chalk Neurons","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DiPaolo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9744878"},{"teacherId":3264635,"projectId":9644199,"letterContent":"At the beginning of the school year I sort my students in houses based on the popular book, Harry Potter.
