The headphones, whiteboards, and visual math boards are all things we use constantly and were definitely in need of replacement! Students are using the whiteboards daily for all kinds of things—independent practice, partner work, and group problem solving. They have been especially helpful for showing different ways to solve a problem and talking through our thinking together- I can tell that they are learning how to work together, which is such an important skill! \r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a huge help. Hooray for working headphones that are comfortable! The students have been taking really good care of them, too.\r\n\r\nIt really meant a lot to me that you thought of my classroom again. You helped us replace things I genuinely needed, and we are already putting them to good use every day. It means a great deal to know that you still believe in what I'm doing and are willing to support the students who come after. I'm very grateful for you and for the way you have supported my classroom over the years. Thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1787968372055,"projectUrl":"project/learning-from-one-another-when-students/10333509/","projectTitle":"Learning From One Another: When Students Teach Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Plowman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9557325_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y57&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722563804603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9557325"},{"teacherId":9557325,"projectId":8949584,"letterContent":"The new books were an immediate hit! Some are still on the way, but the ones that have arrived are already being noticed, talked about, and chosen right away.\r\nThe new books were an immediate hit. Some haven't arrived yet, but several already have, and my students can't wait to see the rest! They noticed the new books right away and were excited to find new series, funny chapter books, animal stories, and books that felt like something they would actually choose on their own. I already have students looking for the next book in a series or grabbing one of these titles as soon as they have independent reading time—and honestly, that's the best.\r\n\r\nIn second grade, we are working on reading more and talking about what we read. These books give students so many opportunities to find characters they like, connect with, and simply enjoy reading about. One of my goals from the very first day I taught was to build a rich classroom library filled with books students love now, books they may grow into later, and books they hear classmates recommending. I want them to have access to many genres, authors, series, and reading levels so there is always something that feels like a good fit.\r\nThank you for helping me continue building that library. Your support has added so much more choice and variety than you probably realize, and my students are genuinely excited to read these books!","fullyFundedDate":1734110112842,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-book-wonderland-for-2nd-grade/8949584/","projectTitle":"Building a Book Wonderland for 2nd Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Plowman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9557325_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y57&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722563804603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9557325"},{"teacherId":9557325,"projectId":10077123,"letterContent":"I cannot tell you how much these materials have already meant to our classroom. When everything started arriving, my students were SO excited. The new headphones were desperately needed and immediately became something we use all the time. I was especially excited about the science materials because science is one of my favorite things to teach. The LED lights, copper tape, and other circuit materials are going to let my students actually build, test, and figure things out instead of only reading or hearing about how electricity works. This will be part of our properties of matter unit as an extension of the field. I love those moments when students suddenly realize, \"Wait, I made that work!\" and I know these materials are going to give us so many of those moments. Our next step is to continue using these resources throughout the year in both our everyday learning and our upcoming science investigations. The headphones, books, and whiteboards will keep getting used constantly. A necessary list of items that help support engagement and practice learning in different ways. Thank you for giving my students tools they can actually touch, use, experiment with, and learn from. Your thoughtfulness has made a real difference in our classroom and for years to come.

My students were so excited to see the white boards set up in our classroom when they came into school on Monday. \r\n\r\nEach whiteboard has 3 students at it. They work together to complete math problems in our Building Thinking Classrooms. The students are more engaged and are less timid to share their thoughts with their classmates. The best part is they have new partners every day that they get to work with so they are getting the opportunity to discover new ways to problem solve and work on peer interactions/listening skills.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for these donations and feel so blessed that people are so generous.","fullyFundedDate":1784566328249,"projectUrl":"project/math-in-motion-empowering-third-grade-p/10305693/","projectTitle":"Math in Motion: Empowering Third Grade Problem Solvers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8394121"},{"teacherId":10540342,"projectId":10356666,"letterContent":"Our new vertical whiteboards have completely changed the way my students approach mathematics. Instead of sitting quietly at their desks waiting for me to confirm whether they are right or wrong, students now work together in small groups to solve challenging problems while standing at the boards. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students tackle a multi-step fraction problem. Rather than asking me for the answer, they debated different strategies, tested their thinking, erased mistakes, and built on one another's ideas until they reached a solution. The whiteboards have encouraged productive struggle, meaningful discussion, and much greater student confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the whiteboards, they were immediately excited. They loved getting out of their seats and working in teams, and the simple act of writing on a large vertical surface made math feel more engaging and less intimidating. Even students who are typically hesitant to participate became more willing to share their thinking because mistakes could easily be erased and corrected together. The collaborative environment has helped every student feel like their ideas matter.\r\n\r\nAs we continue using these resources, students will take on increasingly complex problem-solving tasks that require them to justify their reasoning, compare multiple solution strategies, and communicate their mathematical thinking to their classmates. My goal is to continue building a classroom where students learn from one another, persevere through challenges, and develop the confidence to think like mathematicians. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, these whiteboards are helping create a classroom where collaboration, critical thinking, and student voice are at the center of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1782845609040,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-thinking-classroom-empowerin/10356666/","projectTitle":"Building a Thinking Classroom: Empowering Individual Thought and Mathematical Independence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stephens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10540342_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1782659284119","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10540342"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32974","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":683,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":32974,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summit Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summit Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/cache-county-school-district/summit-elementary-school/32974"}
