Every day, they dive into the story and follow along as Dana travels through time. The books have led to rich class discussions about history, time-travel, slavery, and free will. An added bonus has been the opportunity for students to compare the text to the Hulu series based on the book. Students love picking apart the show and identifying places where the director took the show in a different direction than the book. And students consistently say that the book is \"way better\" than the show. \r\n\r\nThank you for your donation and thank you for bringing Dana's journey—and our students' education—to life.","fullyFundedDate":1771013638377,"projectUrl":"project/kindred-spirits-unlocking-history-throu/10093678/","projectTitle":"Kindred Spirits: Unlocking History Through Sci-Fi","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kossack","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kossack"},{"teacherId":8748335,"projectId":9887272,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom at ACC. The materials you provided have helped to engage students in my 10th-12th grade classes. Students were thrilled when they first saw the clipboards and white boards that would allow them to work on classwork and projects in new ways. The fidget toys provided have helped calm upset students and re-focus distracted students. The snacks purchased have helped motivate and satiate students during and after school. \r\n\r\nThe clipboards have been an especially awesome contribution to class. They have allowed students to utilize more flexible seating options, engage in more activities that get them up and moving around, and even complete work outside. The white boards have also allowed for different opportunities for student engagement, and made for quick and easy formative assessment in class.\r\n\r\nYour contributions to my classroom have improved the student experience in history class, and we (the students and I) cannot thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1769949873704,"projectUrl":"project/help-keep-ms-rigneys-room-safe-and-sto/9887272/","projectTitle":"Help Keep Ms. Rigney's Room Safe and Stocked","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rigney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8748335"},{"teacherId":9813593,"projectId":9860797,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for making our incentive project possible. Because of your generosity, our students have access to snacks and other prizes that genuinely motivate and excite them — and I can confidently say the Takis and Golden Oreos were the biggest hit! The 9th graders especially are loving the opportunity to earn prizes for class participation, attendance, and positive behavior. These incentives have added energy and buy-in to the school day in a way that feels joyful and affirming.\r\n\r\nEach grade level works closely with their paraprofessional to earn points, and students proudly come to my office with their para to share what they've done to earn an incentive. Those moments matter. We talk through the work they completed, the expectations they met, and the effort they showed — and yes, we also do a lot of redirection and expectation-setting, because that's part of working with teenagers. I always emphasize that while the snack is exciting, the real reward is building habits that help them grow into successful students and humans, even on days when there isn't a prize waiting.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful to our donors because without you, this simply wouldn't be possible. Funds are incredibly limited at my school, and providing these kinds of supports often means staff paying out of pocket — something many of us cannot and should not have to do. Our students, some of the most vulnerable in Boston Public Schools, deserve the same quality systems of encouragement and recognition as any other students. Your support sends them a powerful message: they are seen, valued, and worth investing in. Thank you for making that message loud and clear. 💙","fullyFundedDate":1762267492821,"projectUrl":"project/staying-the-course-incentives-to-motiva/9860797/","projectTitle":"Staying the Course: Incentives to Motivate High School Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Libby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9813593_orig.jpg?crop=810,810,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730914990684","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9813593"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63528","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":253,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":49,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.7,"schoolId":63528,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Another Course to College on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Another Course to College","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boston-public-schools/another-course-to-college-school/63528"}
