Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in the way my students engage with learning every day.\r\nWe have begun using the new resources in both our reading and math blocks, and the impact has been immediate. One especially powerful moment occurred during a small group when students used the Pop-It reading tools to tap out individual sounds and blend them into words. I watched as students who typically struggle with decoding became more focused and confident. The simple act of \"popping\" each sound helped them stay engaged and truly understand how words are formed. For my bilingual learners, this multisensory approach has been incredibly effective in strengthening their English reading skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the students were first introduced to the materials, their excitement was evident. They were eager to participate, curious about how to use each resource, and highly motivated to learn. What might normally feel like a challenging task quickly became something fun and approachable. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow right from the start.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboard has also transformed our math instruction. During mini-lessons, students now come to the board to model their thinking, explain strategies, and solve problems in front of their peers. This has created a more interactive and collaborative learning environment. Students are more willing to take risks, share their ideas, and learn from one another as they practice key skills such as place value, addition, subtraction, and fractions.\r\n\r\nYour support has brought engaging, high-impact learning opportunities into our classroom. Thank you for investing in my students and helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1763578458843,"projectUrl":"project/pop-into-reading-shine-in-math/9888789/","projectTitle":"Pop Into Reading & Shine in Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Medina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3738401"},{"teacherId":570833,"projectId":9790599,"letterContent":"My students were so excited when they saw the weighted stuffed animals. They love snuggling with them when they're feeling down and when they're struggling with class work. They help calm them down and help students feel calmer while working.\r\n\r\nMy students also loved choosing their calming strips and deciding where to put them at their seats. I see students touching the strips and practice their breathing daily. \r\n\r\nBoth items have been a great addition to our class! My students are better able to regulate their feelings and emotions.","fullyFundedDate":1761581963208,"projectUrl":"project/everything-is-okay-just-weight-and-brea/9790599/","projectTitle":"Everything is Okay, Just Weight and Breathe","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp570833_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572730152558","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/570833"},{"teacherId":5302887,"projectId":9408360,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving to this project.

I have very little experience with 3D printing so it was a little overwhelming to be told I needed to teach this skill to 3rd through 5th graders. I have been looking for resources to help support me and support students on this journey and found a great resource on Teachers Pay Teachers. However, it was outside of my budget. Having you donate towards gift cards, helped significantly. I was able to get this resource and have already been able to use it with my 3rd and 5th graders and I will be using it today with my 4th grade students. We have already printed keychains and cord clips and will be making bookmarks soon too. I will be able to use this resource throughout the year to support students as they work in the 3D printing world. It is all possible because of your generous donations to this project. I greatly appreciate you and your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1751883213596,"projectUrl":"project/if-i-teach-it-they-will-build/9443750/","projectTitle":"If I Teach It, They Will Build","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5302887_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1523289214906","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-vunre"},{"teacherId":5302887,"projectId":9229010,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support on this project, 4th grade EXPO students now have access to engaging books about enigmas.
