They were thrilled when the boxes arrived and I told them their wish came true!\r\nWe carefully labeled the books and put them in their special bin and IMMEDIATELY my class began to devour these stories! \r\n\r\nFor students who find math intimidating, a book is a safe space.\r\n\r\nMany children who struggle with numbers are strong readers. Using their strength (reading) to tackle their weakness (math) builds confidence.\r\n\r\nReading a book allows students to \"notice and wonder\" about math concepts before they have to perform them on a test.\r\n\r\nSecond grade math involves a lot of mental visualization. Books provide high-quality illustrations that help students \"see\" the math.\r\n\r\nReading books about shapes helps students visualize the properties of shapes better than a 2D diagram on a board.\r\nThese books give children concrete ways to visualize massive, abstract numbers that their brains aren't quite ready to process as digits alone.","fullyFundedDate":1767732743710,"projectUrl":"project/mathits-all-around-us/9983388/","projectTitle":"Math....It's All Around Us!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5622584_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535970118534","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/fjscott"},{"teacherId":2769636,"projectId":9908860,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to my classroom!

The combination of the mini projector and stand creates a dedicated \"screening room\" atmosphere, allowing students to move beyond individual screens to share their work with the entire class. This shift from private viewing to public presentation fosters a culture of collaborative critique and collective pride, as students see their digital creations projected at a cinematic scale.\r\n\r\nBeyond the visual impact, the technical hardware—the iPad wall mount, laptop tray, and surge protector—provides the essential stability and safety required for high-level media creation. The iPad mount ensures steady, professional-grade filming for projects like stop-motion animation, while the laptop tray optimizes the workspace for intensive editing sessions. By securing these tools and protecting them with a surge protector, donors have not only improved the quality of student output but have also ensured that these creative resources remain a safe and permanent fixture in the lab for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1765944812749,"projectUrl":"project/media-lab-essentials/9962967/","projectTitle":"Media Lab Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Caldwell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3075528_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693410587034","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/f-caldwelliv"},{"teacherId":2769636,"projectId":9850160,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to my students.
