The students have only been able to use it once so far, but are working hard to earn some time on it. It has been a slow start trying to learn how the apps work and to adjust to drawing on a digital platform vs. drawing on paper. I have some students who really enjoy art and are looking forward to taking their art to the next level and creating some digital characters of their own. Eventually students will be usuing the tablet to create some characters of their own and bring them to life in a digital world.","fullyFundedDate":1761513504433,"projectUrl":"project/bring-gaming-to-life/9856375/","projectTitle":"Bring Gaming To Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6514870"},{"teacherId":6612367,"projectId":9586139,"letterContent":"The resources will be helpful in our science experiments and future stem projects.

Sometimes Sir Fluffins may lose an ear or an eye, but the kids used extra pieces to give him a wand and cast some \"spells\" on the staff.

With these new books, they are discovering stories that reflect their own struggles and triumphs, helping them build critical thinking skills, expand their vocabulary, and engage in meaningful discussions. In our classroom, reading is no longer just an assignment—it's an opportunity for growth. We analyze characters' choices, explore themes of resilience and hope, and even relate these lessons to our own lives.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, has found a deep connection to a novel about overcoming adversity. He told me, \"This book makes me feel like I'm not alone.\" Another student, who once hesitated to read aloud, now eagerly volunteers to share his thoughts. These moments are possible because of you.
