And it's thanks to you!\r\n\r\nUpon entering, my students know that there's a bin of fidgets and play-doh they can borrow during class time. There are students who will go directly there to grab their fidget for class time before they sit down. I love that this is available for them. They know that I care about their comfort and focus. \r\n\r\nMy English Learners really enjoy the coloring books, stencils, and Spot It game. These are used during our WIN (What I Need) hour together. It's a great opportunity for them to rest their minds (translating all day is very tiring) and do something calming or fun. It's also a time for them to get off screens and do something kinesthetic and/or social.

Your donation made it possible for my students to engage in a variety of creative projects. In my Creative Writing class, students are creating their own picture books using the paper, colored pencils, crayons, and markers that you provided. During our fiction writing unit, they also used these materials to design an original character. It is so exciting and rewarding to see my students apply their creativity to make something new! \r\n\r\nIn my English class, these materials have also been very useful. My students often forget to bring notebook paper to class, so having extra paper has been handy. At the beginning of the year, I also used paper when I asked students to create name tags. Students wrote their names and one thing that symbolized them on their name tags. This helped me learn all 165 of my students' names.

Though this activity takes place early in the school year, it provides students with a meaningful opportunity to express themselves creatively—both visually and through writing.\r\n\r\nEach student begins with the same instructions for their mask, yet no two results are ever alike. The outside of the mask represents how they present themselves to the world—or how they believe the world sees them. The inside reveals something deeper: personal interests, goals for the future, or even the challenges they face.\r\n\r\nAfter completing their masks, students write reflective essays explaining the choices they made in their designs, inside and out. These essays often reveal thoughtful and honest insights into how students view themselves and their place in the world.\r\n\r\nThis project is a highlight of the year for me. It not only allows students to explore identity and self-expression, but also lays the foundation for our upcoming study of Oedipus the King by Sophocles, believed to have been originally performed in 429 BC. As we read the play, we examine how ancient Greek actors used masks to portray multiple roles, and how these physical masks parallel the figurative ones worn by characters in the story.\r\n\r\nIn our discussions, we explore the idea of appearance versus reality—how characters present themselves outwardly, and how that may differ from who they truly are, whether by choice or by lack of self-awareness. The connections students make between their own masks and the themes in the play are consistently powerful.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this project possible. Your support has a real impact, and I truly appreciate it.","fullyFundedDate":1746785311199,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-the-faces-we-show-and-hide-m/9118886/","projectTitle":"Exploring the Faces We Show and Hide - Mask/Essay","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Reid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5554797_orig.jpg?crop=828,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739894960570","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5554797"},{"teacherId":9933696,"projectId":9137059,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing marker boards and markers for my classroom.
