For many of my students, this is their very first experience using technology for educational purposes. The excitement on their faces when they held the iPads for the first time was priceless — wide eyes, huge smiles, and lots of joyful \"Wow!\" moments.\r\n\r\nThese iPads are already making a powerful difference. My students are:\r\n\r\n• Practicing letter sounds and early reading skills through interactive apps\r\n• Building math fluency with hands-on digital manipulatives\r\n• Strengthening fine motor skills through guided tracing activities\r\n• Listening to stories that build vocabulary and comprehension\r\n• Expressing their creativity through drawing and storytelling tools\r\n\r\nTechnology in kindergarten isn't just about screen time, it's about engagement, differentiation, and opportunity. The iPads allow me to personalize learning so each child can work at their own level, whether they are just beginning to recognize letters or already reading simple books.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, you have helped build confidence. Students who are sometimes hesitant to participate light up when using the iPads. They feel independent, capable, and proud of their work.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students tools that will support them not just this year, but in the years to come. You are helping close learning gaps, spark curiosity, and foster a love of learning at such a critical age.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our classroom and investing in our little learners. Your kindness is making a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1763583656585,"projectUrl":"project/tech-tools-for-little-learners-ipads-fo/9846037/","projectTitle":"Tech Tools for Little Learners: iPads for the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Guiliani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9322865"},{"teacherId":3812065,"projectId":9897616,"letterContent":"Just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for supporting our hydroponics project!
