Mental health posters reinforce positive messages and coping skills throughout the room, while calming strips on desks provide a discreet tool for students to regulate emotions and stay engaged.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources help my students feel supported, empowered, and ready to succeed academically and personally.

One group of students used the bowler hats for their piece \"Nowadays & Hot Honey Rag\" taken from the musical Chicago. They had to learn how to dance with the hats as a prop. They learned how and when to take it off, put it on, etc. This was their main prop. The hats also added to their costume. \r\n\r\nThe other class had suspenders and bow ties which added to their costumes as they were reporters in the dance piece \"They Both Reached for the Gun\". The students were very thrilled to be able to have items that would be used for this show and be able to be used in the future. \r\n\r\nWe are grateful for your contribution and donation for our spring concert titled \" What Is It About Chicago\" We hope that you will continue to donate to our causes in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1746787040152,"projectUrl":"project/what-is-it-about-chicago/9107558/","projectTitle":"What Is It About Chicago?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. W.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8811683_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x200,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666710827965","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bhsdance5"},{"teacherId":8493728,"projectId":8850526,"letterContent":"Our crochet club is growing.

Because of you, my 10th-grade students now have their own journals and journaling supplies—simple but powerful tools that are making a real difference in their learning and self-expression.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room was undeniable when I first distributed the journals. Some students immediately began flipping through the blank pages, imagining what they would write. Others carefully selected their favorite pen or highlighter, eager to make their first mark. But what has truly amazed me is how these journals have become more than just classroom tools. Some students are taking them home and writing because they want to—a testament to the power of giving students ownership over their words and thoughts.\r\n\r\nIn class, I provide time for students to journal, allowing them to reflect, process ideas, and build confidence in their writing. Journaling has given them a space to explore their thoughts freely, without the pressure of grades or formal structure. I've seen reluctant writers start filling pages, and students who struggle with verbal expression find their voice through writing.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these journals will continue to be an essential part of our classroom. Whether we are using them for personal reflection, brainstorming for essays, or responding to literature, they will serve as a safe space for students to think, create, and grow. Your generosity has not only provided supplies—you have ignited a love for writing in students who might not have discovered it otherwise.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your support has had a lasting impact, and my students and I are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1732606790950,"projectUrl":"project/journals-for-creativity-confidence-a/8958220/","projectTitle":"Journals for Creativity & Confidence: A \"Freedom Writers\" Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hollick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3639670_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1465845493898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/darby18"},{"teacherId":4493304,"projectId":8730153,"letterContent":"I am happy to share with you how your game boards on Ions and Subatomic Particles made an impact in my classroom. My students engaged with the materials which I hadn't anticipated. I saw them have fun with this interactive learning experience.\r\nWhen I told my students that we were going to play that day, their reactions were priceless. Their faces looked different from our usual day - it was a look of excitement. I knew they were happy because, to them, it felt like they were not doing chemistry. After all, they were going to play. \r\nThe use of this interactive material engaged them and helped them create an atmosphere of excitement and energy that is sometimes hard to achieve with traditional textbooks and lectures. In addition, students who hadn't led groups before started to show leadership during this game by reading the instructions and explaining some concepts they had learned. It was a good review of subatomic particles for them and led them towards an introduction to ionic formation. It was a good segue to ionic bonding.\r\nThank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1733263052358,"projectUrl":"project/board-games-powerful-tools-for-learning/8730153/","projectTitle":"Board Games: Powerful Tools for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ybanez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4493304_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1509304495441","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4493304"},{"teacherId":8493728,"projectId":8384593,"letterContent":"Our classroom changes every day.
