When my students first saw the new setup, their eyes lit up. They were genuinely excited to get up, collaborate, and tackle problems together.\r\n\r\nWe've already used the whiteboard for group work on algebra equations and graphing linear functions. It's become a central hub for learning and discussion. Students are more willing to take risks, explain their thinking, and help each other out—all while standing side-by-side at the board.\r\n\r\nThe LED lights have added a warm and welcoming touch, making our classroom feel like a space that belongs to them. Your generosity has not only improved how we learn math, but also built a stronger sense of classroom community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students.

The annotation supplies you provided have made a huge difference in how my students interact with texts. One of our favorite activities so far has been using color-coded annotation to track character development and literary devices during our science fiction unit. It's been amazing to see students flipping back through their brightly marked-up pages, pointing out connections, and having class discussions. Your donation didn't just give us tools; it helped create opportunities for deeper reading and more engaged learners.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're wrapping up a final project where each student is creating an original sci-fi character who exists in two parallel realities. Using their notes and annotations from earlier lessons, students are developing character journals, world maps, and even \"case files\" with fake government warnings and newspaper clippings. The highlighters and post-its have been key in helping them go back through what we've read and watched to pull evidence and inspiration.
