Because of you, we are using our new resources every day to stay engaged, excited, and organized in our learning. From flexible seating that helps students focus, to tools that support smooth transitions and collaboration, these materials have already become an important part of our daily routine. They have truly helped create a learning environment where students feel comfortable, supported, and ready to take risks.\r\n\r\nMy students reacted with immediate excitement, curiosity, and joy when the materials arrived. They were eager to explore the math puzzles, collaborate using math chat cards, and dive into math problems that connect to their interests. I have seen students who were once hesitant now participating more confidently, asking thoughtful questions, and engaging more deeply with one another during math discussions.\r\n\r\nWith these new materials, our next steps in math include strengthening problem-solving skills, explaining mathematical thinking clearly, and building perseverance when tackling challenging tasks. Students will continue using the puzzles, riddles, and discussion tools to practice reasoning, justify their answers, and learn from one another. Your generosity is helping my students grow not only as mathematicians, but also as confident, collaborative learners—and we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1757898290405,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success/9512359/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7313860_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753101998061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7313860"},{"teacherId":4338734,"projectId":9698162,"letterContent":"A science classroom is not complete without microscopes.

Students are more engaged and learning because they are adding to our learning and their items are allow them ownership of learning.\r\n\r\nAll of my classes have several students who either need a fidget or alternative work space. Having clipboards has allowed students to spread out and work productively. Something small in their hands allows them to remain focused without disruption.

They were able to demonstrate what it means to work with a partner in class while using the new tools.\r\n\r\nNext week we will use the marble run to learn about problem solving and communication. Students keep eyeing the run and asking when can we use it! \r\n\r\nThe strong magnets have been a lifesaver. I have a fully magnetic wall and they all WORK.
