We use individual whiteboards during lessons so students can quickly model their thinking, try multiple strategies, and take risks without fear of \"getting it wrong.\" One of my favorite moments was during a recent problem-solving activity when every student was actively engaged—boards up, ideas flowing, and students confidently explaining their reasoning to peers. Having reliable markers and an organized system means we spend less time managing materials and more time focused on learning.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new supplies, they were genuinely excited. They immediately noticed how smooth the markers wrote and how easy it was to grab and return materials from the labeled boxes. The air fryer was an unexpected but huge hit, especially during math club! Being able to make warm snacks together created a fun, welcoming environment where students wanted to stay after school, collaborate, and tackle challenging problems. It helped turn math club into a space that felt both academic and joyful.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, students will continue using the whiteboards as a core tool for exploring new concepts, sharing ideas, and reflecting on their learning. In math club, the air fryer will keep supporting a positive community where students feel motivated to participate, persevere, and support one another. Your donation didn't just provide supplies—it helped create an organized, engaging classroom where students feel excited to learn and belong. Thank you for giving us that opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1757010168128,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboard-use-for-students-usbe-ai-fo/9628740/","projectTitle":"Whiteboard use for Students - USBE AI for K–12 Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vawdrey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10164393"},{"teacherId":8282050,"projectId":9290393,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to my classroom.
