The dry erase boards and markers have become a daily part of our learning routine. We use them for everything—from solving problems to brainstorming ideas for math projects. During our recent geometry unit, the dry erase boards were invaluable in helping students sketch shapes, draw diagrams, and work through problems step by step. One of the highlights was when we used the boards to practice drawing different types of angles and polygons. Students worked in pairs, each drawing their shapes on their own boards and then sharing them with their partners to compare. It was incredible to see how the boards made math feel more interactive and hands-on, allowing students to easily make changes and corrections as they worked through problems.\r\n\r\nWhen the dry erase boards and markers first arrived, my students were beyond excited. They couldn't wait to start using them, and it was amazing to see how engaged they were during math time. The ability to quickly erase and start fresh made them more willing to take risks and try out different approaches to solving problems. It's been incredible to see how this has boosted their confidence and willingness to participate in class discussions.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're diving into a geometry project where students will be creating their own \"Math Museum,\" showcasing different geometric shapes, angles, and properties they've learned about. Using the dry erase boards, they'll design exhibits, write descriptions, and prepare to present their findings to the class. I'm excited to see how the new materials will support their creativity and deeper understanding as they explore geometry in more depth. Your contributions have truly helped spark excitement in the classroom and have provided tools that will serve us for the rest of the year.

The headphones and clipboards have become essential tools in creating a more focused and organized learning environment. The headphones, in particular, have allowed students to engage with educational videos and online programs without distractions. This has been especially helpful during our independent math work time and math lessons, where students can tune into instructional videos and practice skills at their own pace. The clipboards have provided a practical way for students to take notes, complete assignments, and work on tasks while moving around the classroom as well as the school.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments came during our math unit on division. Students used the clipboards to organize their work on division problems, and the headphones were crucial during a station activity where they could listen to an audio guide explaining division concepts. It was so rewarding to see how engaged and excited my students were with these new materials—they were eager to use the supplies and were able to focus more easily on the task at hand.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled. They immediately saw the clipboards as a way to be more organized, and the headphones sparked excitement because they could finally engage with digital content without being distracted by the noise around them. That was major! Some students even asked if they could use the headphones during reading time in their reading class and it was wonderful to see them take initiative in using the new supplies to enhance their learning.\r\n\r\nAs for what's next, we're moving into more complex division problems, working on dividing larger numbers and solving real-world division scenarios. The students will continue using their new materials, and I'm excited to see them apply their knowledge of division in new contexts. These donations have truly made a difference, and I can already see how they are setting my students up for success in the coming weeks! Thank you again for your wonderful support.","fullyFundedDate":1733991465374,"projectUrl":"project/no-lie-listening-is-essential/8891738/","projectTitle":"No L.I.E.
