When students review their photos, they practice sequencing events, describing observations, and making connections. It also builds ownership and pride — they become the storytellers of their own learning.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, cameras will deepen engagement in our outdoor explorations.

Many of them thrive when they can see, touch, and actively work with the content rather than just read about it. They bring energy to the classroom, especially during hands-on activities and collaborative review, and they take pride in mastering the material when given the right support.\r\n\r\nAn Epson color printer will be a game-changer for my classroom because it will allow me to provide high-quality, visually engaging materials every day. In U.S. History, so much of the content relies on visuals—political cartoons, maps, photographs, propaganda posters, and charts. Printing in color helps students better analyze these sources, notice details, and make stronger connections to the historical context. It also allows me to create more engaging review games, task cards, and station activities that keep students actively involved in learning.\r\n\r\nAccess to primary sources is equally important for my students’ success. Many of my students struggle with reading comprehension, so having printed, scaffolded primary source documents allows me to guide them through close reading and analysis step-by-step. These documents help students think critically, develop historical reasoning skills, and better understand perspectives from the past. By interacting directly with speeches, letters, photographs, and firsthand accounts, students move beyond memorization and begin to truly understand history.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources will transform my classroom into a more interactive and supportive learning environment. My students will be able to engage more deeply with the content, build confidence in their skills, and feel better prepared for both the End-of-Course exam and future academic challenges.\r\n","hasReceivedDonations":true,"proposalURL":"project/ace-the-eoc/10223574/","hasBeenFunded":true,"matchMultiplier":"2X","location":"Cordova, SC","id":10223574,"hideDetails":false,"title":"Ace the EOC","numStudents":120,"fulfillmentTrailer":"Help me give my students the materials needed to ace their end-of-course exam!","numDonors":14,"teacherName":"Ms. Bentley","totalPrice":601.12},{"profilePhotoURL":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9206467_orig.jpg?crop=1835,1836,x0,y110&width=136&height=136&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722271664509","schoolName":"Creekwood Elementary School","costToComplete":345.86,"teacherId":9206467,"povertyLevel":"More than half of students from low‑income households","essay":"From Students to Producers\r\nOur 3rd through 5th graders at CES see greatness every day, in a science experiment that works, a kind act on the playground, or a high-energy house meeting.

I want my classroom to be a place where students can focus on learning without worrying about whether they have materials for assignments, notes, or activities.\r\n\r\nThe math manipulatives in this project, including linking cubes and fraction tools, will help students better understand math concepts by giving them a hands-on way to practice skills during lessons. A lot of students need visual and interactive support to fully understand difficult concepts, especially in math. These tools help make lessons more engaging and help students feel more confident when solving problems independently. Basic supplies like paper, pencils, notebooks, folders, and markers are things students use every single day. These materials help students complete assignments, stay organized, participate in group activities, and keep track of their work throughout the year. Having supplies available in the classroom also helps students who may not always be able to bring materials from home.\r\n\r\nThe cardstock paper, laminator, and poster markers will help me create classroom visuals, anchor charts, and reusable learning materials that students can use during lessons and assignments. Middle school students benefit from having visual reminders and examples they can refer back to while learning new skills and concepts. The iPad will help me manage lesson planning, Google Classroom, iReady, and other online learning platforms that students use regularly. It will help me stay organized, prepare lessons more efficiently, and better support students during classroom instruction and online activities.\r\n\r\nThese materials will make a real difference in helping students feel prepared, supported, and able to participate in class every day.","hasReceivedDonations":true,"proposalURL":"project/classroom-essentials-for-student-success/10294963/","hasBeenFunded":false,"matchMultiplier":"2X","location":"Los Angeles, CA","id":10294963,"hideDetails":false,"title":"Classroom Essentials For Student Success","numStudents":26,"fulfillmentTrailer":"Help me give my students the supplies, hands-on learning tools, classroom visuals, and online learning support they need to stay engaged, organized, and fully participate in daily lessons, assignments, and classroom activities throughout the school year.","numDonors":18,"teacherName":"Ms. Serna","totalPrice":1049.93}]
