The hi-chews have also been a huge hit with students and are often used as small incentives or morale boosters, helping create positive moments during long class periods. I've already noticed students settling in more quickly, participating more confidently, and taking greater ownership of our classroom environment.

With the extra \"loaner\" Chromebook and charging battery, I am able to support all my students in having the materials they need to learn. The charger is used every single class period, by between one to three students. It is able to bring a Chromebook from 0% to 60% charged in just about 30 minutes (fast charging)! \r\n\r\nHaving a charged computer supports the student not only in my class, but it helps them for the rest of their school day. \r\n\r\nRecently, I have had two students who had their Chromebooks stolen, and the school was not able to replace them yet. These students knew I had my extra Chromebook, so they were able to use it during English class. \r\n\r\nSometimes students live between two homes, and their Chromebook gets left at the other parent's house, and they arrive to school without all their materials. I helped a student on Friday (during finals) with this exact issue. He wouldn't have been able to take his English final otherwise. \r\n\r\nThe item used by the most students is the battery to charge their Chromebooks. I bring the battery with me to every class, and my students know to immediately ask if their computer needs to be charged. (It is the most used at the start of the day.) \r\n\r\nAlso, many other teachers on campus ask me about the battery, and they see the benefit of having it for students to use! \r\n\r\nI tutor in the library after school for a few days each week, and the battery gets lots of use there too. Limited outlets and students who have forgotten their charging cords means many students ask me to help them charge their device. \r\n\r\nOverall, this project has fulfilled a great need.

And thank you also for your patience with my tardiness. Our book club unit is wrapping up as I write this, with students ready to share their discoveries with their classmates and indeed the rest of the school, and I must say, your contributions were a smashing success.\r\nBut let me back up a little.\r\nWe began the unit with a kind of free-for-all we called the speed-dating scavenger hunt. Students were given copies of the available books at their table, and challenged to learn as much as they could about them in a relatively short amount of time. This activity presented an opportunity to build active reading strategies from the beginning, so students think about what information is available--how can they find out where the author is from, when the book was written, what awards it's received, what genre might it be, and so on. Furthermore, they also begin to \"pre-read,\" scanning a page or two to get a feel for the book and any vocabulary challenges they might encounter. Besides developing skills that lifelong readers like you and I regularly use, this is designed to get them seeing the books as their choice rather than my assignment.\r\nBased on their choices, I am so glad we had enough of both Smaller and Smaller Circles and Patron Saints of Nothing to go around, as they were hugely popular titles! Selected by both Filipino and non-Filipino students alike, the books served to both help students feel seen and broaden their horizons as well. And oh yeah, the students liked the books too. In fact, this may be as popular as the book club unit has yet been.\r\nStudents are about to make video presentations that will become fixtures of the school library beyond the duration of this unit, so they will be spreading their love of these books--provided by you--to more and more peers as the year goes on. \r\nThank you for starting the ripple!","fullyFundedDate":1756467930057,"projectUrl":"project/powerful-stories-that-represent-our-stud/9623466/","projectTitle":"Powerful Stories that Represent our Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Montel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9167428_orig.jpg?crop=955,955,x0,y401&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691721514271","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9167428"},{"teacherId":1214116,"projectId":9513335,"letterContent":"Your generosity with our \"Journal Writing to Reflect on Ourselves\" project is having a huge impact.
