This flexibility has made a significant difference, especially for students in our intensive intervention program, who often require individualized materials to fully grasp complex concepts.\r\n\r\nThe new technology allows me to tailor lessons to each student's learning style and pace. Whether it's using interactive math programs that provide instant feedback, tools that adapt each lesson to a student's skill level, or digital labs that bring science to life, these resources make learning more accessible and engaging. Students who once struggled to keep up are now participating with confidence and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the sense of ownership they now have over their learning. They love being able to track their progress, set goals, and see how far they've come. One student, who struggled with math concepts, has found success through visual lessons and an interactive notebook that makes the concepts more accessible.\r\n\r\nThese tools are doing more than helping students pass their classes. It's helping them build the skills and confidence they need to graduate and become valuable, contributing members of our community. Your support has opened doors to new possibilities for my students, and I am deeply grateful for your belief in their potential.","fullyFundedDate":1761941926876,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-success-classroom-resources-for/9572069/","projectTitle":"Fueling Success: Classroom Resources for Intensive Intervention","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2956399_orig.jpg?crop=622,622,x0,y319&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659672680603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2956399"},{"teacherId":10005674,"projectId":9281055,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all your donations, my students love using the new buttons, as they can now see a fair way to see who is winning. Especially when we play jeopardy for test review. \r\n\r\nWhen I told the students about the buttons they were really impressed with what they all do, and loved to press them, and see the lights, and hear the noise if they got it wrong or right. I liked to see their excitement with having something to press. \r\n\r\nMy next steps would be to eventually get a full class set of the buttons, so everyone can have one, and play fairly.","fullyFundedDate":1746785658660,"projectUrl":"project/vocab-fun/9281055/","projectTitle":"Vocab Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Millan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10005674_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745547062930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005674"},{"teacherId":2956399,"projectId":9269581,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our classroom now has new health, integrated math, and executive functioning resources from Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT). These materials are making a meaningful difference for our students every day.\r\n\r\nHow the resources are helping students learn:\r\nThe health materials provide students with opportunities to learn about wellness, decision-making, and self-care in a fun and interactive way. The integrated math resources help them see how math connects to the real world, making lessons more engaging and easier to understand. The executive functioning tools are teaching them essential skills, such as staying organized, planning ahead, and breaking down big tasks into smaller steps, which will benefit them not only in school but also in life.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students the most:\r\nStudents love the variety of activities these resources bring. Math no longer feels like \"just numbers,\" notes, activities, and problems they can work through together. In health lessons, they enjoy role-playing and games that make abstract ideas feel practical. Executive functioning supports are especially exciting for students who enjoy using checklists, planners, and visuals that give them more control over their learning.\r\n\r\nStudents who have especially benefited:\r\nOne student who often felt lost during independent work is now using the executive functioning tools to stay on track, proudly checking off each step of an assignment. Another student who used to struggle with math is thriving because the integrated materials allow her to see math concepts in different, creative ways. Even some of our quieter students are becoming more confident during health lessons, sharing their thoughts and making connections to their daily lives.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has enabled our students to feel more confident, capable, and enthusiastic about learning. Thank you for investing in their growth. You are helping them build skills that will last far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1746444175174,"projectUrl":"project/differentiated-materials/9269581/","projectTitle":"Differentiated Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2956399_orig.jpg?crop=622,622,x0,y319&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659672680603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2956399"},{"teacherId":2051311,"projectId":9328854,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for taking the time and money to so generously support my students and classroom.

Because of your support, I was able to purchase a collection of Amoeba Sisters biology resources that will make a tremendous difference in my 9th-grade special education classroom.\r\n\r\nBiology can be a challenging subject, especially for students with diverse learning needs. The engaging, visually supported worksheets from the Amoeba Sisters will be an incredible asset. They break down complex topics like cell structure, genetics, and ecosystems into manageable, accessible concepts that genuinely resonate with my students. The videos and companion worksheets help reinforce science vocabulary and concepts through humor, visuals, and repetition—exactly what many of my students need to build confidence and understanding.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, I'll be able to support students I've seen who struggle with the content. These small but powerful resources are helping my students build the foundation they need not only for success in biology but for a lifelong interest in science.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in my classroom and the success of each of my students.

Before its arrival, the summer and early fall months made it challenging to focus on projects due to the overwhelming heat in our workshop. Now, thanks to your kindness, our woodshop is a comfortable, safe, and productive space where creativity and learning thrive.\r\n\r\nOne recent example of its impact was during our shop stool project, where students designed and built their own stools to use in the classroom. With the swamp cooler providing much-needed relief from the heat, they could fully engage in each step of the process, from measuring and cutting materials to assembling and finishing their creations. When the cooler was first installed, the excitement was contagious. Students expressed both relief and gratitude, sharing comments like, \"Now we can really get things done!\" Beyond physical comfort, the swamp cooler symbolized the support of a community that values their hard work and education.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the improved workshop environment will allow us to take on even bigger and more collaborative projects. This coming spring, our students will work together build dog houses, combining practical skills with creativity to produce something meaningful that students take home or we donate them to local animal shelters. Your contribution is highly appreciated. On behalf of myself and my students, thank you for believing in us and supporting a space where hands-on learning and innovation flourish.","fullyFundedDate":1726750035764,"projectUrl":"project/cooler-construction/8711069/","projectTitle":"Cooler Construction","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. VanderWeerd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9711584"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54779","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2816,"numTeachers":126,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":75.6,"schoolId":54779,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Centennial High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Centennial High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/corona-norco-unified-school-district/centennial-high-school/54779"}
