Because of your generosity, my AP Statistics students now have access to high-quality instructional videos that allow them to revisit our most challenging objectives anytime they need extra support. For many of my students, statistics concepts can feel overwhelming the first time they encounter them. The ability to pause, rewind, and rewatch lessons has completely changed how they approach difficult material. During tutorials, students can now focus precisely on the skills they need most, making our support time more targeted and meaningful.\r\n\r\nWhat has been especially powerful is the flexibility these resources provide. Students who struggle to arrive on time or who miss class due to personal circumstances no longer feel permanently behind. They can access instruction immediately and take ownership of their learning at their own pace. One of my most struggling students from first semester used the videos to independently learn an entire challenging unit on his own. He was able to come back to class and pass his quiz with flying colors after having been out for two weeks. Your contribution did more than provide a resource. It gave my students access, independence, and belief in their ability to succeed in a rigorous AP course. Thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1760721489414,"projectUrl":"project/on-demand-learning-for-future-statistici/9539710/","projectTitle":"On-Demand Learning for Future Statisticians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hunt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4870378_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512759274645","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-huntlovesmathematics"},{"teacherId":8677545,"projectId":9702565,"letterContent":"This project has provided so many resources for my students. We was able to get headphones, math posters, calculators, and copy paper. All of these items are valuable resources in the classroom especially in a time of need. Once students received the package, they couldn't contain their excitement. All these items that were provided came at the perfect timing. \r\n\r\nThe students truly loved the headphones and the calculators. Headphones create a learning environment where students can better focus and take ownership of their learning along with having a positive impact in the classroom. Use having headphones in the class has increased my scores within my data due to students improving more. The headphones have allowed us to reduces background noise and classroom distractions, especially during independent practice or assessments.\r\n\r\nThis year, I had more students who were given accommodations and modifications, calculators were provided on the list. Having a classroom set of calculators has been able to build confidence and supports students who struggle with basic facts while they develop higher-level math skills.","fullyFundedDate":1758067223785,"projectUrl":"project/math-avengers-mathematicians/9702565/","projectTitle":"Math-Avengers Mathematicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gardner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8677545_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y248&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722446014982","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8677545"},{"teacherId":8677545,"projectId":9378496,"letterContent":"We have been greatly appreciative of the items we received with donations from Henkel's Brand.
