Today they even made valentine's day cards (marine or forensic pun themed) and passed them out to their favorite teachers! They loved getting more art supplies and have taken great care of them as well! Students love the ability to create and color at any age and this allows them to keep doing so in my classroom while also learning at the same time! We also got to use the micro slides of plankton a few months ago during that unit and will also use the large poster paper at the end of Q3 to summarize and wrap up our 5 different ecosystems we have been learning about!

Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in the way my students experience and understand mathematics.\r\n\r\nRecently, we put the calculators to use while exploring polynomials and their graphs. Through these explorations, we investigated end behavior, identified zeros of functions, and analyzed how coefficients influence the shape and directions of graphs. \r\n\r\nInstead of struggling to imagine abstract concepts, they could now test ideas, make predictions and see results immediately. These calculators gave them the tools to experiment, as deeper questions, and to approach mathematics with a sense of discovery.\r\n\r\nYour generosity and support has opened the door for critical thinking.","fullyFundedDate":1764602125000,"projectUrl":"project/using-technology-to-tackle-upper-level-m/9900517/","projectTitle":"Using Technology to Tackle Upper Level Mathematics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10352827"},{"teacherId":10172505,"projectId":9582409,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation. Your support directly strengthens our Spanish program and makes a measurable difference in students' learning, engagement, and success across Level 2, Level 3, and AP Spanish courses.\r\n\r\nYour donation of an office chair for students creates a more comfortable and focused learning environment. For Level 2 and Level 3 students, longer speaking activities, partner conversations, and small-group tasks become more sustainable when learners can sit comfortably (Lucky students get to sit on the comfy chair); this reduces physical distraction and increases participation. In AP classes, where students engage in extended oral presentations, exam practice, and peer review sessions, ergonomic seating supports stamina and concentration, helping students perform better during high-stakes speaking assessments.\r\n\r\nThe power strip tower surge protector is a classroom infrastructure gift that keeps technology reliable and accessible. Many activities in modern language classrooms; digital assessments, interactive listening tasks, streaming authentic Spanish media, and student-device workstations rely on stable power. With more outlets available, teachers can run multiple devices simultaneously without interruption, enabling smoother transitions between activities and minimizing lost instructional time. This steady access to technology supports differentiated instruction across proficiency levels and improves consistency in formative assessments and practice opportunities.\r\n\r\nA pair of headphones is fundamental for developing listening comprehension skills. For Level 2 and Level 3 classes, headphones allow students to listen to targeted audio at their own pace; repeating segments, shadowing, and focusing on pronunciation without distractions. In AP Spanish, where the listening component is rigorous and requires nuance, headphones let students practice exam-style audio tasks and hone note-taking skills. Headphones also support personalized learning stations and reduce background noise, increasing accuracy on listening assessments and boosting students' confidence in comprehension tasks.\r\n\r\nChart paper is a versatile, high-impact resource for language acquisition. It enables collaborative brainstorming, vocabulary walls, visual grammar charts, and project planning across all levels. Level 2 learners benefit from interactive verb-conjugation charts and thematic vocabulary maps; Level 3 students use charts for culture projects, story sequencing, and synthesis activities; AP students create analytical organizers for thematic comparisons, oral presentation planning, and evidence-based writing structures. Large-format visuals support kinesthetic and visual learners and make language structures and cultural concepts more memorable, leading to stronger performance on speaking and writing assessments.\r\n\r\nA utility cart with shelf transforms classroom logistics and instruction delivery. It enables quick movement of materials, technology, and assessment packets between stations, supporting station rotation models and small-group instruction that are crucial for differentiated learning. For AP classes, the cart can transport advanced resources, practice tests, and multimedia equipment for exam prep sessions. Efficient classroom flow increases time-on-task and allows teachers to target intervention, resulting in improved mastery across proficiency levels.\r\n\r\nHand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, and Lysol spray are essential for maintaining a healthy learning environment. Regular sanitation reduces illness-related absences, which disproportionately affect progress in sequential language courses where consistency matters. Fewer students miss classes mean sustained practice, continuous exposure to input, and steady progression through curricula. All of which correlate with higher achievement on course assessments and AP exams. Clean, safe spaces also promote student comfort and attendance, supporting equitable access to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you. Your thoughtful donations provide practical comforts, reliable technology, instructional materials, and a healthy environment. All of which combine to raise engagement, deepen practice opportunities, and support measurable gains in academic performance from Level 2 through AP Spanish.","fullyFundedDate":1762390219750,"projectUrl":"project/building-bridges-support-our-spanish-jo/9582409/","projectTitle":"Building Bridges: Support Our Spanish Journey","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Salinas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10172505_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763079809747","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10172505"},{"teacherId":10166805,"projectId":9819353,"letterContent":"We used the new resources to create student-made books for Macbeth. Each student designed pages that included summaries, key quotes, illustrations, and personal analysis of scenes and characters. One especially meaningful moment was watching students debate which quotes best captured Macbeth's turning points, showing that they were thinking critically about the text rather than simply completing an assignment. \r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their reaction was immediate excitement. They began flipping through supplies, planning layouts, and sharing ideas with their table groups. Several students who are usually hesitant to participate engaged right away because the project felt creative and hands-on, which helped make Shakespeare feel more accessible and personal. \r\n\r\nAfter completing the books, students moved on to revising their work and deepening their analysis of themes such as ambition, power, and guilt. The finished books were used as review tools and discussion starters, and they remain in our classroom as student-created texts that reflect both their learning and their growth as readers and thinkers.","fullyFundedDate":1760378437775,"projectUrl":"project/the-promptbook-of-becoming/9819353/","projectTitle":"The Promptbook of Becoming","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whitlock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166805_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754831368453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166805"},{"teacherId":10348057,"projectId":9891042,"letterContent":"Thank you for selecting my classroom to support.

And with a fresh stock of pencils, no one has to worry about stopping a brilliant thought just because their lead broke. We're ready to learn the second the bell rings!\r\nA Touch of Hogwarts: We immediately put the Harry Potter items to work by creating a magical creative writing unit. We transformed a corner of the room with the themed posters and decorations into our very own \"Hogwarts Common Room\" reading nook. Our main project now is for students to write and illustrate their own magical creature journals. The materials you sent gave them instant inspiration, turning a basic assignment into a truly imaginative, immersive adventure!\r\nThe Moment the Magic Arrived\r\nWatching the students see the materials for the first time was the best part—it truly felt like Christmas morning!\r\nWhen they spotted the Harry Potter gear, there were shrieks and gasps! One huge fan immediately pointed to a poster and yelled, \"Look, it's the Golden Snitch! We can use this to inspire our stories!\" Their energy was infectious.\r\nThe reaction to the snack stash was quieter but just as profound. For the few students who often come to school hungry, knowing we have that supply created a beautiful sense of security and care.
