So I have used two-subject notebooks for the students in math class to help them organize their work. Students take notes in one part of the notebook and use the other part of the notebook for interactive notebook activities. The notebooks are different than the standard notebooks that students may come to school with, so they always know which notebook is for math. I have found that many students keep their notebooks for years to come and use it in math class in the following grades. Thank you for supporting this project that allowed me to purchase the two-subject notebooks for the sake of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1745430132607,"projectUrl":"project/mathematically-organized/9187605/","projectTitle":"Mathematically Organized","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ocampo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1502584_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565020794493","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ocamposclassroom"},{"teacherId":352768,"projectId":9276430,"letterContent":"I am truly amazed and pleasantly surprised how these UNO cards brought excitement and motivation to the classroom. I knew that UNO cards were loved in the class but the kids also love playing the math games with the cards.\r\n\r\nAfter instruction is given, the students go back to their desks and work on their class assignment. When their assignment is done, they are able to pick one of the UNO games to play. Since these games have been introduced to the class, I see more students getting done with their class assignments. When asked why they are getting done with assignments so fast, they respond with 'I want to play a game with the UNO cards'. That makes me smile.\r\n\r\nNow that the students have been playing some of the games in the content being taught, I will add more games with content from prior lessons. Games are also played against the teacher for FUN FRIDAYS! Students always like to beat the teacher. \r\n\r\nThese cards and games have definitely have accelerated math learning in this class.

Managing all the work and folders in a classroom can be very chaotic, but by supporting this project, I didn't have to piece together folders for each group nor did I have to purchase a class set of different colors out of my pocket. I'm sure you already know that teachers purchase so much for their students already, that I have to prioritize what I purchase on my own.

My district was not replacing \"old\" technology, but as you probably know, just because it's old, doesn't mean that it doesn't work. The district expected teachers to use a smart board and a cheap document camera and that set up was not high enough for all my students to be able to see it easily and it constantly made noise every time the internet fluctuated. It also timed itself out way to often. By using the projector you supported, I could show the lessons up high and it never timed out. It was way more successful and easier for me to quickly adjust what and how I was teaching.
