This project will bring Quizizz into our classroom as a powerful tool to support every learner. With access to interactive activities, real-time data, and customizable content, I can design lessons that meet students exactly where they are.\r\n\r\nQuizizz allows my students to practice at their own pace or participate in classroom competitions that transform review into something exciting and motivating. 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.

We received a generous donation of high-quality notebooks from our donors, and it's been a game-changer for our learning experience. When the students first saw the notebooks, their eyes widened with excitement, and they couldn't wait to get their hands on them. They exclaimed, \"Wow, these are so cool!\" and \"Look at all the colors!\" The tactile experience of holding a brand-new notebook, with its smooth paper and sturdy cover, was palpable. Our initial project was to create a \"Dream Journal,\" where students were encouraged to write about their aspirations, goals, and passions. The response was overwhelming, as students poured their hearts out onto the pages. The notebooks became their confidants, where they shared their deepest desires and fears. As we worked on this project, I noticed a significant shift in their engagement and motivation. They took ownership of their writing, experimenting with different writing styles, colors, and even adding illustrations. One student, who had previously struggled with writing, confided in me that the new notebook made her feel more comfortable expressing herself. She said, \"I feel like I can be myself now.\"","fullyFundedDate":1723353449868,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-notebooks/8622762/","projectTitle":"Interactive Notebooks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ruffin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7826485_orig.jpg?crop=4160,4160,x1040,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722985161358","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7826485"},{"teacherId":3962756,"projectId":8513982,"letterContent":"We are so appreciative of the materials that you donated to our classroom.
