Thanks to your support, our students are now equipped with the essential tools they need to dive into more complex problems with confidence and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nCalculators: The new class set of basic calculators has been a game-changer for verifying solutions. During the challenge, students used them to quickly check their arithmetic steps after solving for the variable in equations . This allowed them to focus on understanding the algebraic process (isolating the variable) without getting bogged down or discouraged by a simple calculation error. The confidence they gained from instantly confirming their correct work was palpable!\r\n\r\nDry Erase Markers: Our small-group work has soared! Students now grab a whiteboard and a fresh, bright dry erase marker to work through problem sets together. They can instantly try a different strategy, erase a mistake, and write down their ideas without hesitation. This fluid, low-stakes environment has fostered incredible collaboration and risk-taking.\r\n\r\nPencils: The bulk pack of pencils has solved our daily logistics issue entirely. Every student now receives a perfectly sharpened pencil at the start of class, ensuring that the first 5 minutes are spent reviewing concepts, not scrambling for a writing tool. This small change has led to a much calmer, more focused start to every math lesson.\r\nThank you for investing in the mathematical confidence and problem-solving abilities of our incredible 6th graders!","fullyFundedDate":1759435024531,"projectUrl":"project/a-formula-for-success-math-class-essent/9713509/","projectTitle":"A Formula for Success: Math Class Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kazi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9318063_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696603637074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9318063"},{"teacherId":9318063,"projectId":9342941,"letterContent":"I am absolutely thrilled to share the incredible impact your generosity has had on our students and our learning environment. Thanks to your support, our classroom is now a space of greater comfort, organization, and collaborative energy!\r\n\r\nInvisible Tape: Students used the reliable invisible tape to neatly seal their written goals and meaningful drawings inside personalized envelopes. This simple tool ensured a professional finish, teaching them the importance of presenting their work with care.\r\n\r\nMesh Zipper Pouches: The durable mesh zipper pouch bags were the unsung heroes! We are now using them as our Permanent Project Pouches. Each student has their own, which currently holds their sealed time capsule envelope, a small set of colored pencils, and an activity tracking sheet. Everything is visible through the mesh, tidy, and ready for our Future Me follow-up activities later this year.\r\n\r\nSticky Notes: The vibrant sticky notes became essential for the brainstorming phase. Students used them to jot down their individual goal ideas for the future and then categorized them on a group wall chart before finalizing the entry for their capsule.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the gentle facial tissues are right there on every table. The comfort they provide is immeasurable, allowing students to quickly handle a small sneeze or tear without having to leave their work, minimizing interruption and distraction.\r\n\r\nThank you again for creating a more focused, positive, and productive learning environment for every child in our class!","fullyFundedDate":1757380041460,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-focus-and-organization-in-our-cl/9342941/","projectTitle":"Fueling Focus and Organization in Our Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kazi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9318063_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696603637074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9318063"},{"teacherId":9586505,"projectId":9372159,"letterContent":"I have been able to use these games as part of our fraction unit recently and the students LOVED it!

I have kids that come into my room now asking if we are going to play games again because they enjoyed it so much. The fraction formula game is the favorite so far, every class that got to play with that one kept asking to play it again. We also tried out the SMATH game which took a little more strategizing and critical thinking but the students still enjoyed the flexibility and competition involved. I am excited to find ways to incorporate these games more throughout the year and as I get more comfortable with the games themselves and how they interact with my content I hope to make them a very regular thing in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755730715021,"projectUrl":"project/math-game-for-future-mathematicians/9372159/","projectTitle":"Math Game for Future Mathematicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Folmar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9586505_orig.jpg?crop=384,384,x0,y66&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720488809325","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aislynfolmar"},{"teacherId":1465708,"projectId":9123003,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the clarinet reeds!

My students were really excited to see something new added to my class that they can refer to when time allowed. We started the year designing their sketchbooks and the front cover was up to them to design. Many of the students flipped through the books for both inspiration and guidance when trying to brainstorm what they wanted to draw. But these books also provided an opportunity for them to look through when they completed an assignment. Over all my main goal was for students to look through more physical media over digital to have them appreciate a different perspective when it came to research. Me and my students hopes is that we will grow our artist library allowing them to see new and interesting art styles outside of a lesson.","fullyFundedDate":1753480104575,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-art-with-books/9227248/","projectTitle":"Exploring Art with Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Stier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5889794_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x85,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695608710376","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-stier"},{"teacherId":10169381,"projectId":9575743,"letterContent":"I'm beyond thankful for this donation it really has already impacted my classroom.

It's an empowering feeling for students to know they have so many resources right on the walls.\r\n\r\nThese posters are already having a huge impact on our lessons. We've hung the fraction operations and PEMDAS posters in a central spot where students can easily reference them during assignments. It has been amazing to watch students, instead of asking me for help, walk over and look at the posters to find the answers themselves. The posters on Area and Perimeter have been particularly helpful for our current geometry unit, providing a constant visual reminder of the formulas we need. The Algebra and Math Symbols posters are also a great support for my students as they begin to transition to more complex concepts.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue to use these posters every day to reinforce key concepts and build a strong foundation for future learning.
