We are using the new manipulatives daily during math lessons, small groups, and problem-solving activities. One memorable moment was during a lesson on number relationships and building equations—students used the bricks to model their thinking, test different solutions, and explain why their answers worked. Being able to physically build their ideas has helped deepen understanding and encouraged creative thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to dive in, asking questions and brainstorming ways they could use the bricks to solve problems. Even students who are typically hesitant during math lessons became more engaged and confident. The hands-on nature of the manipulatives made math feel accessible, fun, and achievable.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our next steps include using these resources to tackle more complex math challenges, including multi-step word problems and collaborative projects. Students will continue to build, model, and explain their thinking as they strengthen problem-solving and communication skills. Your contribution has given my students tools that will support their learning all year long—and has helped foster confidence, creativity, and a love for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this meaningful opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1758819084379,"projectUrl":"project/brick-by-brick-encouraging-creative-thi/9717327/","projectTitle":"Brick by Brick: Encouraging Creative Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brooker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9006464_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757714316712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9006464"},{"teacherId":9006464,"projectId":9712663,"letterContent":"Because of your generous donation, my students now have access to hands-on math manipulatives that have truly transformed our learning time. We use these resources daily during math centers and small-group instruction. One powerful moment was during a recent lesson on place value and multi-digit addition. Students used base-ten blocks to physically build numbers, break them apart, and regroup. Concepts that once felt abstract suddenly made sense—I watched students explain their thinking with confidence while moving the pieces in front of them.\r\n\r\nWhen the manipulatives first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students couldn't wait to explore them and were eager to get started. Several students who typically feel unsure during math were smiling and volunteering to demonstrate their work. It was clear that being able to touch, move, and see the math made learning feel less intimidating and more achievable.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our next steps include using these manipulatives to deepen problem-solving skills. Students are beginning to use them to model word problems, justify their reasoning, and work collaboratively with classmates. These tools are helping build a strong foundation for more complex math concepts later in the year—and, just as importantly, they're building confidence and a love of learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to experience math in a meaningful and engaging way. Your generosity has made a lasting impact in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1757962762748,"projectUrl":"project/math-success-one-manipulative-at-a-time/9712663/","projectTitle":"Math Success, One Manipulative at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brooker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9006464_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757714316712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9006464"},{"teacherId":9006464,"projectId":9434267,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my classroom looks and feels completely different! The flexible seating cushions and chairs have quickly become a favorite for my students, and we use them every single day. Whether they are working on math stations, reading in small groups, or collaborating on projects, the new seating gives them the freedom to choose a spot where they can focus and feel comfortable. One student told me, \"I love sitting on the cushion because it helps me stay calm and concentrate on my math problems.\" Moments like that remind me how much of an impact these resources are already making.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were so excited. They immediately wanted to try every option, and the room was buzzing with energy as they explored where they felt most comfortable learning. It was amazing to watch students who normally struggled to stay engaged light up with enthusiasm simply because they had a choice in how and where they learned. The joy and ownership they feel over their learning space has truly transformed the atmosphere of our classroom.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these seating options will continue to support us during upcoming lessons and projects. Right now, we're diving into group problem-solving activities, and having flexible seating makes it easier for students to gather, share ideas, and stay engaged. These resources will be a part of our classroom for years to come, giving every student the chance to learn in an environment that meets their needs.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and for making such a lasting difference in their education.","fullyFundedDate":1757733435186,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-while-we-work-flexible-seating-f/9434267/","projectTitle":"Wiggle While We Work: Flexible Seating for Focus and Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brooker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9006464_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757714316712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9006464"},{"teacherId":9006464,"projectId":9282614,"letterContent":"Our project, Bringing Math to Life for Special Education Students, has truly transformed the way we approach learning in our classroom. With the new resources, my students are able to engage with math in a more hands-on and meaningful way. For example, during a recent lesson on regrouping, we used the manipulatives to physically build and break apart numbers. One student who often struggles with abstract concepts lit up when he realized he could \"see\" the numbers come together—he proudly told me, \"This makes sense now!\"\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their excitement was contagious. Many immediately wanted to explore, test, and touch the items. Several said, \"Can we use these today?\" before I even explained the activity. That eagerness carried into our lessons, and it has made math time something they look forward to each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are not only practicing their math skills, but they're also building confidence. The next step for us is applying these tools to multi-step word problems, helping students connect real-world situations with the math strategies they've learned. These resources allow me to scaffold each step so students can experience success, no matter their learning style.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping us bring math to life. Your support has created moments of discovery, joy, and confidence that will continue to grow with every lesson.","fullyFundedDate":1746561659732,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-math-to-life-for-special-educat/9282614/","projectTitle":"Bringing Math to Life for Special Education Students.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brooker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9006464_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757714316712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9006464"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16469","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":634,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":16469,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about La Vega Intermediate Schools - Miles Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"La Vega Intermediate Schools - Miles Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/la-vega-independent-school-district/la-vega-is-h-p-miles-campus/16469"}
