The intention was to use them with my senior AVID students to help as they transition from high school to college. I most certainly believe that this book is the foremost \"guide\" that can be used for that objective.\r\n\r\nUnfortauntely, I have hit an unexpected snag in my use of this book. I've had several of my parents object to two chapters in particular: the chapter on alcohol and, especially, the chapter on sex. My district required me to do permission slips for this book because of those two chapters even though I could have easily skipped those two. The result of this request for isnged parent permission slips is that unless EVERYONE turned in a slip, NO ONE would be allowed to read the book. So, the books sit in my classroom unopened because of the objection of a few parents. Let me be clear, I do not hold any animosity towards these families or my district for requiring the permission to read this book. In these hard times, I expected it. What I did not expect was parents objecting. Again, I completely understand their objections.\r\n\r\nFinally, I am still hopeful that I wil be ableto use the book in some way shape or form before the seniors complete their time at our school. If not this year, I itend to use the books in the coming years. Again, I apologize for this unexpected turn of events. I am very grateful for your contributions.","fullyFundedDate":1757461123725,"projectUrl":"project/the-naked-roommate-its-not-what-you-t/9627769/","projectTitle":"The Naked Roommate - It's Not What You Think!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Treppiedi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1976266_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x264,y56&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755745601193","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1976266"},{"teacherId":6604950,"projectId":9713889,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom. The new printer has made a meaningful difference in how my students learn and engage with their work. Many of my students struggle with reading, writing, and fine-motor skills, so using creative apps on their Chromebooks helps them express their ideas more easily. They can design posters, draw digitally, and complete art activities with support from our program staff by giving them another pathway to show what they know.\r\n\r\nWhat excites them most about the new printer is seeing their digital creations turn into real, printed artwork. For many of my students, holding their printed Growth Mindset posters, drawings, and craft projects gave them a huge sense of pride. Seeing their work displayed on our classroom walls has boosted their confidence and motivation to keep creating.\r\n\r\nOne student who usually hesitates to participate in class projects became eager to design her own poster once she saw her classmates' printed artwork. Other students who struggle with writing found success using drawing apps, allowing them to create detailed art that he was thrilled to print and show others. These small but powerful moments of success have helped them feel valued, capable, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought creativity, independence, and joy into our classroom.
